Take some measurements with a calliper. I don’t know if rubber hose can be had in that small a size, but if it can, rubber hose slipped over and glued to the axles might work.

I think there ought to be a Bill Atkinson Award™ for longest and most profitable use of Hypercard, the inaugural winner being yourself. You are still using the same stack in the company that you designed in the 90s! That, to me, given the ephemeral character of computers and software, is just...

Actually, mine did have a tiny filter at the radiator intake, the filter being just a piece of nylon mesh in a cup shape, with a rim. It had clogged, and came out entirely as an obvious failure point. I forgot about that yesterday.

In the G5 quad cooling system, there are two little plastic inserts about the size of a pill bottle lid, with microchannels etched into them. In the disassembly/excavation, as I recall, they are next after the O-rings. (It is, by the way, reasonably easy to refill the system once they are out...

This may also help: A/UX will rebuild the kernel when each new (supported) Nubus card is installed, so that there is a delay on booting when you pop one in. “Patience,” as a four year old girl with a rather pious Catholic mother once told me, “is a birtue.”

This publication is the best I’ve found as a reference work for cards/ upgrade options for machines from the II and Quadra era. I’m pretty sure compatibility details will be in there. https://vintageapple.org/macbooks/pdf/Upgrading_and_Repairing_Macs_Que_1994.pdf

I had a P600 from new in the early 90s and recall that PDS cards were not routinely compatible between it and the IIci. I believe that some were, however, so a case by case approach is needed to avoid frying card or logic board or both. I do recall the latter warning clearly, which would imply...

I think we have to assume that pungent electrical burning smells are not a feature of the box you bought, so BAD things may well have happened. As for the dead ADC, those things are delicate flowers at the best of times. Do you have a G4 or the like to test it with? Take it apart and see if...

Have you tried a System re-installation with no wiping of the drive? You’d get an Old System Folder from which to copy necessary bits and pieces over. My first thought on reading this thread was that maybe something strange results from the primitive User facility introduced in OS9, but...

Anything with a 68030 or 68040 is going to run 7.5.x perfectly well, though often only if the fluff (e.g., the animated AppleGuide) is turned off. Most of this fluff is entirely unnecessary. ‘PlainJane’ 7.5 is also stable on 68k hardware, and is nice and compact, whereas on PPC it is prone to...

Alas, I can’t duplicate an esata transfer. Never went there.

I’d like to try duplicating that. What were you doing?

I have a vague memory of having read somewhere (here?) that Daystar did some experimentation with the 68060. Or did I just dream that? Personally, I’m content with the 040.

It is kind of you to look into this. Verdana is a standard part of later OS installations, certainly from 8.6-ish. But I don’t think anything would be font specific. What you are seeing appears to confirm that there is as little use made of the 68882 by the System software as by most...

Thanks for this. 10% is not to be sniffed at in a marginal system, I suppose. Was the Times a TrueType font?

Ah, but he’s talking about installing Linux, not windows!;)

You are a gentleman, sir!

Here is one of several threads that I have had going about my two SE/30s over the past few years. Perhaps you will find it helpful. https://68kmla.org/bb/index.php?threads/marginal-power-supplies-what-are-the-symptoms.34680/

The only thing to watch is that your 1mb simms need to be in Bank B in that configuration. I don’t think there is any other conflict possible between lower and higher capacity simms (though the number of chips on the two sets could be a factor, I suppose). If that Bank A and B question is...

All I can say is that it worked here at this end. In your case, testing with, say, 8x1mb replacement simms might be the easiest way to find out. 1mb simms should be cheap, and were the machine to work fine, then you have your problem isolated. The other thing, of course, is to be sure your scsi...
