    Quadra 950 Various Crashes

    Have you tried a different internal SCSI cable?

    A Digital Audio restore/upgrade

    It won't be a Digital Audio if its 400MHz. Those were 466MHz and upwards I believe. Yours would more likely be a Sawtooth.

    Power Mac G4 MDD and the USB 2.0 chip

    If you don’t have a fw800 device you won’t be able to test if it’s working at full speed. Maybe you could see what it reports in system profiler about the bus itself. I guess there should be two buses?

    What caps do not need to be replaced in a power supply?

    Yeah they're polypropylene I think. They can be left, it's the paper RIFAs that need replacing as you say.

    Power Mac G4 MDD and the USB 2.0 chip

    Oh they probably needed an extra internal USB port for Bluetooth. AirPort Extreme would be a PCI device. Would be good to check it FW800 still works under Mac OS X (and AirPort Extreme/BT, if you have those).

    180MHz 603ev CPU upgrade for 5300ce?

    So it's an overclocked 5300c then :P

    180MHz 603ev CPU upgrade for 5300ce?

    Nah there's just one ROM between all the models.

    180MHz 603ev CPU upgrade for 5300ce?

    Oh yes, haven't forgotten. The thing is, I'm out of town. If a PB5300 user hasn't done it by the weekend after next, I'll get on it. Excellent. Some additional data for the 1400/166: -The CPU is a 603ev - It supports 8-64MB (this applies to the early 1400 ROM as well). - We're assuming it...

    180MHz 603ev CPU upgrade for 5300ce?

    FYI This list is missing the PB1400 166MHz ROM... in case you're able to request an update.

    Quantum Hard Drives - which models can be (reasonably) fixed?

    I would say FDM/PLA. Easier to cut/sand than resin. Yes, the tape will add a bit of thickness (0.1mm I guess?). It will likely still be within tolerance. If not, you can always sand down the 3D print slightly where the actuator arm makes contact.

    Quantum Hard Drives - which models can be (reasonably) fixed?

    That was my own cut up PCB, which I actually have in my drive right now. I then made the 3D model with its exact measurements, for others to try. I measured everything very precisely with calipers, and was happy with the resting position of the actuator arm, so I think it would be better to...

    IIci power supply recap and component identification

    No, I just pick capacitors which are listed under the category 'Low ESR' or 'Low Impendance' – as opposed to 'General Purpose' – in Mouser or Digikey.

    IIci power supply recap and component identification

    Funny, someone else asked this today. The secondary side/output caps should be low ESR. What is VAME btw?

    Anyone thought to make a tool for this?

    As mentioned in the thread I linked I’m not sure if it will fit an LPS, I haven’t got one to try. The ELS and Maverick are different for example.

    Portable LCD dims, but evenly all over

    I put bricks in my oven in an attempt to even out the heat cycling.

    Choosing capacitors for LC 475 PSUs

    I understand the secondary side caps should be low ESR (also known as low impedance). The rest should be general purpose. Use good quality brand name parts rated to 105C. Here’s a Mouser Cart for the Dyna Comp DCF353.

    Quantum Hard Drives - which models can be (reasonably) fixed?

    Not sure if my design will fit an LPS. It definitely doesn’t fit an ELS.

    Power Mac G4 MDD and the USB 2.0 chip

    Any other side effects of downgrading? Because if not, it almost seems like a no-brainer as you gain OS9 support.

    Power Mac G4 MDD and the USB 2.0 chip

    Nicely done. Looks like the same installer that's available here. I think theirs is corrupted too!
