Cool! I would like to have one of those for my Abit BH6. PS: anyone need a PIII 450?

Agreed, I scored about 10 years of Electronics Now magazine, and one of the projects they listed was a Tube head amplifier for your CD player. If anyone wants a copy of the article, i'd be glad to scan it.

There were a bunch of people posting their desire to see a universal NUBUS adapter, one that allowed the connection of many modern peripherals such as usb flash drives, parallel port devices, CF cards, ect. I had a wild idea when I took inventory of all the IC's I have lying around. What if...

Thanks very much for the help guys. What I've decided to do is build 2 enclosures, the first with 1 9Gb HDD and 1 CD-RW, and the second with 4 9Gb drives, this would allow me to alter the configuration later should the need arise.

What I have now, and don't like very much, is an HP SCSI SX-W hard drive array. I have used it with PC's in the past, but it weights ~80 pounds and sounds like a NASCAR race when it is operating. I wanted to replace it with a smaller, sleeker unit. It uses HD-68 pin interface, and I have a...

How many SCSI drives can the Mac SCSI bus support? Is it actually all 7 devices, or is it 6 plus the host adapter? I found a source for some really cheap swapable drive trays and 9G drives but I don't want to buy too many ;) I was thinking of riviting together a form-fitting aluminium case...

Is that anything like the pocket computer John Connor had in T2? Maybe you could hack some ATM's with it...

I'll tell you an even sadder story... When I was at Illinois State, the physics department had oodles of 5-flavors macs for program and simulation modeling. They replaced them with G4's and G5's, some were recycled, but more than a few got 'chucked.' Google: Morton Pumkin Chucking. We...

The only thing those slot 1 processors were good for was recycling! There's a little more gold, a little more aluminium, a little more cash value.

Funny! I'll do that. I am thinking about pulling one of those "screen images simulated" deals when I post it. I'll hook the monitor to the video output on my PC and display something completely impossible for the IIe. Somebody 'll get a kick out of it.

I fixed it! I pulled the Apple III technical repair manuver: drop it on the desk. Now it works good as new! eBay, here it comes.

Ok, no problem, I only have the disk controller and a printer interface card. I did pull the cards out for my initial test with no change in result. I'll pull the chips this coming weekend. Thanks for your suggestions

I will borrow a chip extractor from work and give that a try. Should I do it for all the chips or just the Video BIOS?

I would use the ids50-db25 I am using one for my LC-dock project. The price is ungodly insane on your ebay link though!!! I bought my adapters (completely identical) from another company 4/$1. I just checked their site and it would appear that they have run out since two days ago. They have...

I pulled out my IIe that I haven't touched in years and found the video to be scrambled when I turned it on. When you boot without an OS (no floppy drive) it should say Apple //e but in its place are some scattered pixels at the top of the screen. I've tried this with the IIe monitor and a TV...

Here's what i want: A way to make 68k mobos use far cheaper, far more available PC RAM! I have oodles of 72pin simms for PC (8, 16, and 32mb) but I have to pay money for ram to add to my LCIII? what the heck.

Ok, so I didn't update... I did find out that my LCIII works perfectly with a 7 disk external hard drive array I picked up. Its an HP, circa 1996, 5 4.5 gig hard disks and 2 (full height) 18 gig disks. The thing sounds like a pair of jet engines while it's on.

I just ordered some parts from a rediculiously cheap place online (http://www.halted.com). I got CEN50-DB25 SCSI cables for $1, CEN50 terminators for 4/$1, and Internal-External IDS50-DB25F 4/$1 and crimp-on IDS50 sockets 20/1$ (no more fooling around with wadding up extra cable, I can make...

Hahaha! I don't have a PC 5.25 floppy any more. I have an IOMEGA ditto tape drive (80MB!). Its a 'standard' 3.5' drive, but it has an extra 'bump' so it wont fit in one of the floppy bays and allow me to have a floppy drive. Its a mini-AT case, so there are only (2) 5.25 bays. its got 64MB...

Ha! I have a floppy disc version of Sim Earth for tandy & compatibles, i popped it in my PIII 933 and it zoomed right through 1,000,000 years at a time.
