I was running my iMac G3 when I noticed that the screen suddenly turned to grey (same as the default desktop color) and then faded to black. I thought maybe it had fallen asleep or something like that, and hit the power button which caused it to shut down. I started it back up again and it got...

I was wondering if anyone might know this offhand. There's a sample of music at the beginning of Apeiron that goes like this (note timestamp - about 5 seconds in) The theme is only ten or so seconds long, but it sounds like it may be part of a longer composition. Alternatively, it could have...

I've recently acquired a fully-recapped SE/30, and while putting it through its paces I noticed that when I put in a floppy disk (from a pack of Verbatim DataLife MF 2HD IBM-formatted 1.44MB blank floppy disks) into the drive, it doesn't display a floppy icon and instead gives a dialog that...

I am in the process of tearing down my iMac G3 with the purpose of shipping out the motherboard, analog board, and PSU for recapping. I was able to get the motherboard and PSU out after a good deal of effort, and was just starting the final push to remove the analog board. I was able to remove...

I have an iMac G3 revision B as part of my (very small) collection. Everything seems to be working great, but a couple of weeks back I noticed that every ten or twenty minutes or so after startup, the screen makes a small clicking sound and then flickers briefly (kind of like how the picture...

I'm looking to acquire an SE/30 to round off my (small) collection of 68k machines, and I saw this entry on ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Apple-Macintosh-SE-30-Vintage-Computer-w-Network-Card-READ-Description-/361522568007?hash=item542c6c9b47:g:JBQAAOSwZQxW6f~h It appears to be in good...

I've been maintaining what was formerly a fully operational LC III for the past couple of months following the completion of board and PSU recapping (c.o. Uniserver) but a few weeks ago I noticed that the internal speaker would occasionally make a popping noise. The issue seemed to get...

I was working on my LC III (again) and tinkering with the two external hard drives I acquired some time ago. It turned out that one of them had a functional hard drive but the enclosure's power supply was not working, while the other had a perfectly OK enclosure but the hard drive itself has...

I was trying out different SCSI configurations for an external HD when I noticed my LC III started giving the chimes of death immediately after startup. I can't see anything on the monitor, possibly because it is using an adapter, so I can't tell what specific error is occurring. I tried...

As a result of the feedback I got from the topic at https://68kmla.org/forums/index.php?/topic/26059-lc-iii-external-hard-drive/I was able to obtain an external hard drive which connects to my LC III via the DB-25 port. The setup looks something like this: Mac <-> DB-25 to CN50 cable...

I have a fully functional LC III but am thinking about getting some sort of external data storage in case the current HDD fails. From what I can tell, the case only has a DB-25 connector in the back which could be used toward this end. My question is, what would be the simplest set of components...

I acquired an LC III without a hard drive a couple of months ago and have gone through the laborious process of finding a working compatible hard disk drive. I started with an 80 MB Quantum ProDrive ELS 50-pin SCSI drive which worked the first day, but then failed on all subsequent boot...

I recently collected and assembled all the parts needed for an LC III, which I put together yesterday. This included the hard drive, a Quantum ProDrive ELS with 80 MB of space and a SCSI connector. Everything seemed to be working properly, and I was able to install System 7.5.3 on the machine...
