I'm trying to install A/UX 3.x on my IIfx but can't get anything to work. When I try booting from the Retail Floppy + Retail A/UX 3.0.0 CD, I get the error "loadshlibs: lib /shlib/libc1_s not found" after the "Welcome to A/UX. Launching..." prompt appears. When I try booting from the Retail...

I was able to upgrade my Daystar Turbo 601 (PowerPC 601 upgrade for the IIci) from 66MHz to 100MHz! I followed this guide: http://www.applefool.com/clockchipping/dt601.html. HOWEVER! I made a few changes... The above guide overclocks the original PPC601 CPU and does not replace it with a...

I'm looking to start trying BGA CPU (CBGA 360, CBGA 483, etc.) swaps, but I can't find anyone who makes the right stencils. Does anyone know where to get some? I'm looking for something direct-heat, not just for solder paste.

I'm currently trying to boost my Power Macintosh 6500 with a Sonnet L2 G3 upgrade, but I can't seem to get any of my *three* units to work. They all crash the computer right before the extension tries to load. I tried both the 2.3.1 and 3.1 driver, and neither work for me. I followed the Sonnet...

While messing around with my Workgroup Server 9150, I managed to kill the motherboard. I was plugging in one of those PDS ribbon cables (for use with a HPV/AV video card) into a Sonnet G3 upgrade, and the connector went in at somewhat of an angle, managing to short some pins on the PDS...

Has anyone tried overclocking the bus on the MDD beyond 167MHz (e.g. 200MHz)? I know the bus on low-end 133MHz MDD boards can be changed to 167MHz by removing R676. Can it be modified further by messing with the adjacent R677, R678, etc?

I have an Apple PowerPC 601 upgrade card that I want to run at 80MHz in my overclocked 40MHz Quadra 800. I replaced the 66MHz QFP 601 with an 80MHz rated part. However, the computer won't boot at 80MHz (crashes immediately upon loading from the hard disk). It at least chimes and shows video...

I recently bought a IIfx with this video card in it. It's quite strange; I've never seen a Nubus video card with a VGA connector on it. It also has a mysterious second connector. The card is labeled "BigView Video Board" and seems to have been manufactured by a company called "Stella Systek...

I have a really strange issue with floppies in my IIfx. For some reason, the IIfx will read 1.44MB disks fine, but will only read some 800K disks. It reads 800K commercial software disks, as well as 800K disks that were formatted on the IIfx, but it won't read 800K disks that were formatted on...

I recently bought a IIfx. At the time, I thought I was fortunate because mine came with tantalum caps from the factory for everything except C9 and C24. I assumed that Apple was being smart and kept electrolytics on C9 and C24 because they were needed due to higher voltage resilience...

I recently found a rebadged Radius PrecisionColor Pro XP called the "LapisColor 24x Nubus." I'd like to swap in an original Radius ROM. Anyone have the image file for the Radius PrecisionColor Pro XP? I know somebody already uploaded the "non-Pro" version, but I'm looking for the "Pro" version.

I've been working on repairing a Mac SE/30, and I've run into an issue. The computer won't read floppies, even with known working drives. A few months ago, it would read them fine, but suddenly it won't read them anymore. Whenever a disk is inserted, the drive will spin and occasionally seek...

I just recapped my color classic, but it still doesn't work. After reading an older post here, I noticed that Y1 was disconnected from C56 due to a bad via. However, I had a little soldering accident and destroyed one of the traces/vias coming off of C56. Does anyone have a working color classic...
