a CRT rejuvinator could work on the tube, but be careful if you do attempt it

if you google about fixing the leg, there's tutorials to fix it, I did that back when I owned an MDD with a similar monitor

Or use a MeowToast

That's a G4 Quicksilver, you cannot use that for parts in a G3 B&W, the parts are very incompatible

May I recommend looking at DeoxIt?

agreed, I've also seen a Macintosh Classic logic board that got that bad, but it was a parts machine for a Classic whose tube I necked, so I just relegated it to ewaste after neutralizing the battery acid

Old Macs like this can't use more than 2GB per disk. There are ways around it, like partitioning, but that gets fiddly quick. Plus, from the looks of it, the hard drive was already replaced with something 2GB or more

Hell yeah, if something like this can be done for any 68040 or 68030 Mac, that would be awesome

speaking of spare things, got any spare 68040s? I want a full 68040, not an LC or EC, 33MHz or higher

DaynaPORT emulation over wifi (if you use a Pi Pico W)

Or the BlueSCSI V2

you can fix the corrosion by using white vinegar

In the long run, yeah. I have an LC III that I shoved a SCSI2SD in because it came with no hard drive. One of these days, I might pull it out and put together a BlueSCSI V2 with a Pico W so I can get WiFi with my LC III, and maybe keep that PDS slot open for if I find that Sonnet Presto...

I'd personally recommend shoving a PiSCSI or BlueSCSI V2 in there. You may not get the sound, but you'll get a lot of features, such as emulating a CD-ROM drive or a SCSI ethernet adapter

oh wow, my 637CD, 6214CD, and 6300CD all have their original caps (to my knowledge with the 6214 and 6300)

however, you can put an X2 where an X would go, and it's a similar story with Y caps

hold on, won't 8.1 boot on HFS+, or am I thinking of 8.5-9.2.2?

I wonder if this can be made possible on a G4 iMac. I have an 800MHz iMac that I want to try this on

welp, now to send this to 65scribe as a correction in his video on the ANS where he says that nobody was successful in making the ANS boot Mac OS

Yeah I'd just replace the analog board at this point
