Do you have access to a memory card reader, like what's used for reading cards used in digital cameras? Could take the 5GB MicroDrive and insert it into the CF port of one of those, then see if a computer reads it. https://www.bluewaterphotostore.com/delkin-universal-card-reader Have the USB...

This. Basically, an auto-inject drive on a PCI or newer PowerMac board will run the eject mechanism continually. Only way to prevent that is to modify the cable, or just unplug the eject motor mechansim, turning it into an auto-inject, manual eject drive. So, I wonder if using a yellow stripe...

You can use it from an image, or install it on the hard drive. If no sound is working at all, however, I'd check to see if the Sound Manager 3.0 extension file is present in the System Folder. If it is, disable it. Some games do lose their sound when said file is loaded. One of them being...

Anything with the MP-F75W model number works.

Looks like it's actually a home-built version of a gPort. Has a mini-8 plug wired into the modem card, with the guts of the modem jack inside the computer. In any case, decided to consign the 466MHz machine with the video card, SCSI card, and hard drives from the 667MHz machine.

From, again, the same seller: picking up a G4 DA 667MHz machine with a rather rare item installed. A Griffin gPort. Plan to combine said G4 with my current G4, to make one real nice machine, and a somewhat slower machine to offer up to whoever wants one and who lives within a day's drive of...

Does the PowerMac with 10.5 have a SCSI card? If it does, simplest thing to do is to open up the 7100's case, pull the hard drive, and plug it into the 50-pin connector on the SCSI card. Use one of the loose power connectors to power the drive. Copy the contents of the drive to a folder on...

My old Centris 650 had a manual-inject drive installed in it when I got it. Worked, but you had to use another floppy to insert the disk all the way. I'd expect the LC series machines with the older case lid to be the same. Since the LCIII/III+, Performa 460, 466, and 467, all have the option...

I'll hook up the 950 this weekend and see what I get. That machine is running 7.5, though. So, a bit older.

I'd suspect old stock... IIRC, the IWII went platinum when the IIgs came out in 1986.

Those don't leak as much as the surface mount electrolytics do on the later machines. BTW: when the batteries die, I would consider reaching out to reactive micro over in Bremerton. Pick up a couple of the battery holders George sells. Mount them to the front wall of the case, then extend the...

@Mk.558 seems like this may be a similar issue to what you were noticing while testing things out with my Q650 yesterday...

^832x624, which is the stock resolution of the M1298 16" monitor shown on my IIfx in my avatar. Another option, if you decide to give up on the Futura, is a Radius PrecisionColorPro 24x or 24xk. Have the latter in said IIfx, replacing an Apple 8•24 that was in it previously.

Ok, so that's the IIvx and newer style.

Possible that yours got upgraded previously. Did it have the removable fan on the power supply, or was it the all-metal cased version introduced with the IIvx?

@ClassicGuyPhilly Sure, not a problem. I use the same username there, btw. Except that I actually have a Volvo in my avatar.

Also, if you want a slight power upgrade, get the power supply from a Performa 600, IIvx, IIvx, Centris/Quadra 650 or a PowerMac 7100. It's so similar that it works on the IIcx, IIci, and Quadra 700 boards.

Nice score. My first working IIfx was one that started out as a II. Originally was going to upgrade to a IIx, so I'd still have a somewhat stock machine, but with a 68030 chip instead of the 68020. Alas, the board I received was dead. So, picked up an fx board from one of the members here...

No worries. I once blew the bus on my original //e by reinstalling a couple chips that blew on a Saturn 128KB memory card, then installing that into the computer. So, we all have done that before. Typically, the 74LS05 chip is the one that I've had the worst luck with on the controller cards...

I do notice that the disk ][ controller card is installed backward on your 32KB ][ Plus board... That could cause weirdness right there, if you've been testing with it positioned that way.
