    1998 iMac G3 Bondi No Chime after RAM/HDD/Battery Upgrades

    There's 16 possible multiplier jumpers settings and your chart only shows 11 of those settings. Shouldn't take long to find out what the other 5 do

    VHS Video editing on early PowerPC macs.

    I bought a MiniDV camcorder and a MDD in early 2003. Did a lot of video work and never had any issues transferring the video to the Mac. Of course I had all new equipment and tapes. Old tapes and not so clean heads might make a big difference

    could be a power supply issue. Does the hard drive spin up after you press the power button?

    20 slot expansion box

    It basically just adds more PCIe slots to my Mac Pro. Anything that fits in a PCIe slot should work. The Mac Pro SATA ports has a top transfer speed of 3 gigabits per second. The PCIe slots have about twice that speed so I'm booting off a SSD on a PCIe card. I have 1 OWC card for a SATA drive...

    grainy video

    I'm prepared for this, I'd previously picked op some medical grade power supplies for this eventuality. Actually I picked up ones that I could squeeze into a Vulcan. With the Apple power supply I don't have to do any squeezing.

    grainy video

    Had an interesting occurrence. On powering up a IIgs the video was grainy. Turns out I was getting only 2 volts on one of the 12v pins. Swapped in a spare and video was normal. All the caps and everything look ok. I guess it’s time to upgrade the power supply.

    20 slot expansion box

    Picked up a 20 slot expansion box for my 5,1 Mac Pro. Actually two expansion boxes but only one one interface card for the Mac Pro. One Stop Systems Max Express. A little loud with 3 large internal fans. Thought about disconnecting 1 or 2 fans as I can’t see myself ever filling it but the way...

    SCSI to IDE Adapter

    Yeah, looks like artmixs SCSI-CF cards are history. Sort of wish I'd bought a couple more. Last year I bought one of his SCSI-SD cards. I installed it in an external SCSI case and used it with a variety of Macs and Apple IIs with no issues.

    Recommendations for SSD's for a G5

    Haven't tried Patriot. I did try 3 brands. An intel which initially worked but seemed to lose it's formatting repeatedly. Moved it over to a macbook where it worked fine. A Samsung worked fine until I got rid of the G5. I don't recall the third brand. It had issues as well but is working fine in...

    Kida on a IIe

    I have DazzleDraw somewhere. I'll see about getting some more software over to the IIe. Between them the kids spent about 8 hours on the IIe yesterday so I guess I'm not taking it home tonight. They won't use it much today as it's super busy with martial arts classes and dance. I'll leave it...

    Kida on a IIe

    I have those programs somewhere in storage but lack the time to look right now. There's not a lot of spare room there so I'll leave the IIe until the weekend. I'll bring it back after new years. By then I'll be better prepared I hope.

    Kida on a IIe

    A nine year old kid I take care of a lot said he’d like to try one of those computers with the big keys. I was unsure what he meant so I showed him a pic of a IIe. Whereupon he said “That’s the one”. So I brought over a IIe with mouse, joystick, DuoDisk and  ColorMonitor IIe. All the kids...

    Apple IIc Flat Panel

    I've got an Apple and a C-vue IIc lcd and yes they are terrible displays. They aren't backlit and need either sunlight or a strong light source to be readable.
