Sure, not a problem.

A M1212 is a decent little monitor and should work fine with it. I'm using one with my IIfx these days, since I decided that the M1298 was better matched with my Quadras (now only one, the Q650). The Dell should be able to do 640x480 without issues. Just make sure that the adapter is set up...

For that matter, to be 100% safe, don't use a battery. At all. No CR2032, nothing.

Your local BatteriesPlus.

All of the Li-SOCl2 batteries are. No, you don't need to solder in a CR2032 holder. Use this instead: https://www.batteriesplus.com/product-details/primary-other/battery/sanyo/lithcr14250se It's now made by FDK, but, same chemical compound as a CR2032. Here's the bad type...

Which monitor do you plan to use with it? If it's a M1212 or a M0401, you'll be fine with stock onboard VRAM. If it's a M1298, like the one on my IIfx in my avatar, then max out the VRAM. That'll let you get 24-bit color. I'd post a pic of mine with 128MB RAM, but seems that the forum is...

Yep. Chassis and case is the same. The IIvx, if the board is functional, might be worth keeping intact. It's possible the holder can be salvaged and a CR14250 can be used, preventing the disaster from occuring again, but without needing an adapter. You could put the Turbo 601 that...

Another option is a Centris or Quadra 650 logic board...

Nice. I've had two. Sold my last one about 14 months ago. Wanted to upgrade my photo gear.

It may. Once the machine is running again, test it out. You'll want to download the 2020Patch software off the Macintosh Garden and apply that to it. That way, the machine will recognize 2026.

Luckily, the Varta battery isn't very likely to explode. It's a LiMN battery, like a CR2032. So, if it still has 3 volts, not to worry about it. When it does die, clip it, then either run batteryless, or replace it with something else that isn't Li-SOCl2 (the 3.6 volt batteries that *WILL*...

^This. You can even pick up a USB Apple SuperDrive burner and use that with a USB-A to USB-C adapter on your 2021 MBP and burn disc images to CD-Rs using Disk Utility. Eventually, I would get a Pioneer DVR-107 or 108 and install that in the G3, once that machine is stable. That way, it will...

It's a shadow... My G4 has the same dark spot when you look at it from the same angle.

You can also use the Graphite G4 plastics on it. My last B&W G3 was essentially a B&C G3 (Blue & Clear) when I got it. I did notice that said computer was a little unstable with an Adaptec 2940U2W card installed. Replaced that with a 29160N, and it was a lot more stable. Currently have that...

Looks familiar, except for brand of battery. This was from September-October 2012...

Yes, very much so. We could have a contest, seeing who has the oldest machine to post a comment in a thread with. Like what was done on one of the other forums back in 2014-2015 or so.

Also, are you using the correct cable for the drive? Most 800K drives, and all MPF-75W 1.4MB drives use the red stripe cables.

I'll have to fire up on of my older machines and see how it works.

Or that certain IIfx machines came with the -0389 power supply. I'll have to pop the case lid off my fx and see if the power supply is the earlier version or if it's the later version.
