Here's the only thing I Marco-related I could find. https://web.archive.org/web/19970605055303/http://www.mot.com/MIMS/WDG/SWarchive.html I suspect that most of the Marco info that may have been on Motorola's web site back then pre-dates when the internet archive started.

I had a RIFA cap explode in the PS in my Profile HD. Also had one go in a 512K also. Yep, replace them while you're in there.

Indeed, thank you for taking the time to provide a visual record of the manual.

Howdy! :) Nice rig! I've never seen the battery dock before. Yes, please scan that manual if you can! As far as the battery, I'm afraid they would have to be rebuilt using new cells. (NiCD) That would require carefully cracking open the battery case and soldering in new cells. I have not...

Isn't that like required by law or something over there? :D

Neat-O! Nice Lisa 2!

I still have my copy of SoundJam I bought. I have never forgiven Apple for buying it...

Take a look at this. NOTE THE WARNING about the patch. http://newtonpoetry.com/2008/09/10/2010-newtpocalypse-without-an-update/ http://newtonpoetry.com/2009/05/28/newton-2010-bug-fixed-users-rejoice/ http://40hz.org/Pages/newton/hacking/newton-year-2010-problem/

Well what exactly have you done to the system? Have you replaced any components?

Howdy! That's a nice little package. A time capsule.

Howdy!  Welcome! :) Sounds like the analog board needs some new capacitors. Grab a copy of the Dead mac Scrolls and check it out. https://archive.org/details/mac_The_Dead_Mac_Scrolls_1992

I think the HD doesn't have sufficient time to spin up when the Mac is first powered up, that's why the reset is required. At least that's how mine behaves. Well you're on the right track by isolating the components. If you haven't already I'd start by replacing the caps on the analog board.

I have too many VCR's and I've been buying more lately. Just last week I picked up a perfectly good Magnetbox VCR/DVD combo unit and a really nice LG DVD recording combo unit with DV-in and HDMI and optical. Both for less than $20 from Goodwill. I got a Sony combo unit for $8 a month or so...

My 512K Hyperdrive requires hitting the reset switch after power up to boot from the HD. I did some work on my system a while back as documented in this thread: I replaced the PS for the Hyperdrive and recapped the analog board.

Hard to say, the markings look legit. As you point out parts of this vintage should be Freescale branded. Hard to believe anyone was still making C12R's in 2012 but apparently they were since I see other examples out there. The part certainly was not actually made by Motorola, they have no...

Yepper, several of the Power systems ran at faster bus speeds. This was a big selling point, they were faster and cheaper than comparable Apple products. They were totally eating into Apple's high-end sales and thus had to be terminated...

Interesting. This did not exist back when I was running my G4-upgraded 8500. A long time ago.

Nope. 9.1 is as far as it goes. It's the ROM that controls that, not the processor.

The first new Apple laptop I bought was a grey 466 iBook SE.  I could have gotten a Pismo but after seeing how they held up at work I opted for the iBook. It was much more solid and was still going strong when I passed it on five years later. The Dell laptops of the era were total junk. I had...

My experience with them was pretty negative too. I was doing Mac support at Motorola when the the TiBooks came out. They were over-engineered and too fragile for a business environment. All the execs and managers got them and inside of six months (or less!) I'd say at least half had broken...
