    To keep or to trash? Beige G3 MBs

    Nah, that's a little beyond my current expertise.

    To keep or to trash? Beige G3 MBs

    I an pretty sure I have those too.  I got at least one of them re-capped.

    To keep or to trash? Beige G3 MBs

    Oh, I have those.  I pulled them out when the mother boards showed no signs of life.

    To keep or to trash? Beige G3 MBs

    I know that at least one of these have been re-capped (the one with the empty SGRAM slot).  The other may have been as well, I don't see any of those leak prone capacitors on it.  But, the photos below are what I have, and another piece broke off of the case when I was opening it!

    To keep or to trash? Beige G3 MBs

    I have two desktop beige G3s. The cases are breaking down, and every time I open them, something breaks off.  One has a motherboard that appears to be non-functional, I can't get it do anything, although the power supply, the RAM, PCI cards, and everything I had in there appears to be good.  I...

    Mac IIci & Etherlink/NB - trouble getting Ethernet to work

    FWIW, I know you said you checked your ethernet cable and are sure it works, BUT IIRC, very old ethernet was fussy...really fussy...and sometimes would only work with a "crossover" cable.  Auto-switching wasn't a thing at the very beginning, and we had to buy specific crossover cables for the...

    Nubus slot problems

    I think I understand what you are telling me.   It just makes me curious why the IIsi's, having identical set-ups, are chugging along like champs.  I am only having issues with the IIci.  If I understand correctly, a IIsi is pretty much a scaled down IIci.  If there is more to it, I would love...

    Making working on II series Macs easier

    Thanks!

    Nubus slot problems

    Yes, we have had all of our II series Macs recapped.  If the 12v line is the one with the molex cable power cable, than yes, the SCSI2SD is using the 12 v line.  I can't get it to work correctly with out it, although some folks have reported that the SCSI cable delivers enough juice to power the...

    Making working on II series Macs easier

    If I can boot from OS 7.5 images on the floppy emu, that alone would make it worth the price of admission.  If I don't have to deal with cleaning cruddy gunky ancient floppy drives that still don't work after I've wasted my time disassembling, cleaning and reassembling them, working with just...

    Making working on II series Macs easier

    Does anyone have anything to say about BMOW's Floppy Emu?  Good experiences, bad experiences?  It looks like it could make working on my II series Macs a heck of a lot easier, especially the IIsi's.  I don't have any external hard drives for these old Macs, and the ease of being able to flop the...

    Nubus slot problems

    The card only sends the wrong commands when it is in that particular IIci.  Moving the card to another IIci totally eradicated the problem.  I do not have any of the Apple Developer CDs, unfortunately.  How do you go about using a CD to diagnose a IIci?  I can't run this IIci with an OS higher...

    Nubus slot problems

    I doubt they checked that before they swapped the unit and asked me to fix it.  I will find out.

    Nubus slot problems

    How do you diagnose NUBUS slot problems on a IIci?  Are they repairable? Here is the situation:  IIci, hard drive was replaced with a SCSI2SD.  We have a special card in the NUBUS slot which communicates with a motion control board which is attached externally.  From everything I can see, the...

    A Mac IIsi, An iMac, A SCSI2SD Card and Basilisk

    Absolutely, but it is getting much more difficult to repair those old IIsi and IIci's.  The next generation seems to have little interest in learning what they have to do to keep everything running and backed up, and I am getting ready to retire.

    Finder Error at Shutdown?

    This G4 is really taxing my patience.  I've posted another thread about the dying hard drive which was replaced.  It's running OS 8.6 on a new hard drive, and seems to be just fine, except when its backup is completed at night, and the backup script tries to shut it down. To elaborate a little...

    A Mac IIsi, An iMac, A SCSI2SD Card and Basilisk

    @joshcDid you see my posts of the machines and our setup?  It came up in a conversation I had under my "Corroded Chip" post.  I posted quite a few pictures.

    Disk Errors

    That apparently is what the problem was.  We started having printing problems with that G4 as well.  Everything else was just getting worse.  I had installed a 2nd HDD in the G4 for storage, and I moved the OS and Apps over to the secondary HDD, an now moving, saving, printing has all been (so...

    Can’t delete / modify some rescued items

    Thanks for this answer! I had some trash left over from a hard drive that was losing its mind, and I could not get the empty folders to go away when I emptied the trash.  Doing this finally got rid of those pesky folders!

    Baroni’s Collection

    I don't know if this will be of any use to you, but FWIW:  I have a v5.1 installed in a IIci, and 2 IIsi's.  I bought new 7.1 install disks from RescueMyClassicMac.com, and I could not install a bootable OS unless I already had 6.0.8 already installed and booted up.  Once I figured out that I...
