Depends on how much he is asking for it I guess and condition. G4 towers are not that common anymore and the large supply of parted out CPUs are kind of gone also. The QS is a nice-looking machine and 1.5GB RAM max is not really an issue with apps of the era especially if you lean toward OS 9.x...

If you are going to spend stupid money on a SE/30 A Micromac DIIMO cache 68030/50 card with PDS for attaching ethernet would be the way to go. And of course, they greyscale upgrade while you are burning money. Over the years the people who spent all that cash (when it was cheaper to do) seem to...

I would think 3rd party cards have a different design philosophy than what Apple made.

Those capacitors are ceramic and tend to get micro fractures from mechanical bending or heat cycles causing them to blow. They are non-polarized. I have a Daystar 040 card with a tantalum that exploded before I purchased it, works just fine as is.

K is +/- 10%, the value is on the other side of the capacitor, and they are most likely the same value for both.

Looks to me like 3 components burned judging by the melt marks on that plastic. C15, L4, and probably C98 (looks cracked). The issue you will have is which one blew taking the rest with them.

A2 GND B2 GND C2 GND C32 is CLK

On my spare recapped IIx board I get around 15-16 Ohms on the positive side of those capacitors to ground.

Cap goo eating into a trace can be a problem. On a Nubus slot you have 32 pins x 3 rows (A B and C) for 96 pins. A1, A2 are -12V A32 B32 are +12V and there are 11 +5V lines plus a ton of grounds.

Would have to be and makes me wonder if all of them will sync correctly. Could also be just an undocumented freebee from having AMD Sync.

Which is odd since the specs say: Model SE2722H/SE2722HX Horizontal scan range 30 kHz to 83 kHz (automatic)

Amiga users are probably SOL on finding working monitors these days, while Apple users can use any old CRT.

I prefer a CRT for old SOG macs anyway, but that monitor is too pricey for me these days.

I assumed people got them mostly for Amiga use.

A singe G4 is great until it breaks, and you have nothing to use. You don't need to be a hoarder, but I recommend having 2 machines of the same model just for a backup.

Are you using the drivers for the Presto or Presto Plus (they are different).

The CM-11 Tandy monitor isn't bad if you like CGA.

They made 500KB 5.25" disks as well, have a dusty box on my shelf.

Mac Voodoo 5's are like $1000 these days. The PC and Mac PCI editions of the Voodoo 5 looks the same except for the DVI connectors, capacitors, and most importantly the Silicon Image chip.

If there was it would be mentioned on the os9lives forum.
