I'm with ScutBoy.  Try Initializing the least working one and a put on a fresh install of System 6.0.8. 

This and a ROMinator sounds like the dreamiest of Mac Plusses ever. :)

For a compact Mac->VGA adapter, if you were going to make it a plug and play device, you'd need to pick a generation of compact Mac to start with.  The 128-Plus had one kind of connector from the LB to the AB, the SE-SE/30s had another, and the Classic & CII had the same as the SE only...

Do  you have a SE/30 to try the SCSI video card with?  That would be really cool.

I'd start with a 5x0 monitor bezel and "chin" just without the "torso" underneath. Then an LC top case, floppy drive facing up, for the back. How were you going to do peripheral cables? Out the bottom or sides, or somehow right angle em to stick straight out the back?

Ok. Thanks for clearing a few technical things up. Not sure I deserved G's tone of disdain, but I'll accept the knowledge and discard the rest. That said, I think I'm done with this thread.

You'll need to mess with some jumpers on the Logic Board to change the speed, even with the new ZIF CPU installed. http://lowendmac.com/1997/overclocking-beige-power-mac-g3/has a nice table relevant to your needs :) Looks like 66MHz @ 7x would put you at 466MHz, which shouldn't too greatly...

So... do I understand these points correctly? Most (many, several, a few?) black and white CRTs have the same pins in the same arrangement at the end of their neck. Electronics designed for one particular black and white CRT should be able to drive a same-size or smaller CRT (with the same...

Bunsen: yes. Back in the days of an active CC mod community, people did cut down 5xx boards and stuff them into CCs to avoid the hi-Rez hack. There were a few non trivial circuits and components that had to be moved/patched in order to get it to fit. All in all it wound up being as much work as...

If the pins on the CRT itself are identical (I think this is the case with the compact, Lisa, and Apple 12" monochrome CRTs), couldn't you use the compact's own video circuitry to drive the larger tube? The tube doesn't care about timings and signal polarities, does it? I am literally asking...

No sacrifice.  If you have both machines, and (critically) want to run them both at the same time, the 520 will run with the CC board in it.  It'll just be big and slow while the CC is small and fast.  You can always reverse the process and have big and fast when you want to. Overclocking a 520...

Those AIOs were super popular that very first year (1996?) of E-Rate distributions to schools from the extra fees collected on U.S. phone bills.  When I was filling out the (ridiculous) paperwork to get our school some E-Rate funds, the district we were filing through gave us two choices: AIO...

I think 8 & 9 sound like the most fun, but I'm a compact Mac fan. Seems like if your going to accelerate the 68000 chip and get video to the CRT, you'll have to have a video subsystem with its own timing of some kind anyway.  I don't really know what I'm talking about, but if you're going...

Fun!

You could drop an Ethernet card in the SE/30 and ftp the files over. An SE/30 is really the first (or last) Mac that can use Ethernet for productive things still.

Good info! I haven't tried mine on a real network for a long time.

Nothing will make jt love the CC.  It can't be done :)

I was basing "at least 3MHz" on a Plus being 8MHz and a Lisa/XL being 5MHz. At most, you could stick any 13" 4:3 monitor and a brand new Mac mini in there. :)

The story: http://www.folklore.org/StoryView.py?project=Macintosh&story=Intro_Demo.txt I was thinking of a different earlier demo when they used the Mac as a Lisa terminal...
