Re: no ADB
[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: The keyboards I used are the old school extended keyboards with the wire physically attached (not removable). I pulled the whole mouse and keyboard off another computer that ran fine so that I could see if it was just a keyboard problem. I'm really hoping that the problem isn't a toasted mobo since that means 2 that need to be replaced. Any idea where this resistor is located on the 950? I'd be willing to probe around the mobo with an ohm meter if that's what it took. But even if I could find the problematic resistor, how do I go about finding a replacement (if it's one of those itty bitty ones)? And resistors, when they normally go, they give off a rather foul odder. I didn't get any smell or smoke. The resistor in question is extreemely tiny. I doubt you could find probes for your multimeter small enough, let alone install a replacement. I'm not sure about where the ADB circuitry is located physically on your mobo, but on my 7200s, 7300, 7500 and 7600 all have them located right next to the ADB connector, so I'd guess it's a safe bet to assume that it'd be just as close on your Quads. When I say these resistors are small, it's dang-near impossible to read the color coding on them even under fairly serious magnification. Given their small size, I doubt they'd give off any discernable odor if they burned out. Allen - -- Quadlist is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: 660 av needs a hard drive
KC Wilkerson wrote: Hi, Does anyone have an old 660 av hard drive they can spare? Mine was screamin' so I took it out. I'm running it on a zip drive. Also, how can I recover data from the old drive? Thanks, KC You can replace your drive with virtually any SCSI hard drive, either new or used. PowerOn Computing (www.poweron.com) has been selling pulled hard drives for a penny per megabyte. I bought a 9-GB IBM hard drive from them last spring for $89! I see in their current MacAddict ad that they advertising internal SCSI drives starting at $9.99 for an 80-MB drive (WAY too small for anything useful) up to 2-GB. I guess they've finally sold out all the larger ones, but check their website. (Pulled drives mean they were yanked from machines at the factory because of other problems that flunked them in quality control. The drives carry a 30-day warranty from PowerOn Computing, but the drives are still also under full factory warranty, so it's a safe bet you'll not get burned.) If the drive was still functioning when you pulled it, you may be able to re-install it and back up all your data files to Zip disks, or you can re-install the drive in tandem with an additional drive (internal or external) and simply copy all your files by drag-n-drop. I have an old LaCie 1-GB external drive I've had for about nine years. Sometimes it screams like a banshee with its tail caught in a wringer, other times it's whisper quiet, but it keeps on ticking. I use it most often as a portable data storage media where a Jaz drive isn't available. I don't know how much life the old girl has left in her, but I'll use it until it dies, then I'll crack its case open and simply replace the drive mechanism with a bigger one. At any rate, it's not a good thing when your hard drive begins screaming at you. It's definitely a symptom that something is awry and that you're probably living on borrowed time. BTW, if you install a new internal hard drive along with re-installing your old drive, you'll have a SCSI addressing issue that will require resolving before you can proceed. One of the drives will need its address changed. This is accomplished by installing a jumper pin somewhere along the lower front of the drive. Most drives are labeled so you can figure out what a jumper pin would do if installed across any of the pins. Just make sure that whichever new SCSI address you assign to whichever drive is not in conflict with any other SCSI device on your machine -- internal or external. I wouldn't assign address 3 since that's the usual default address for CD-ROM drives. If you have an external Zip drive, avoid addresses 5 and 6 since those are the only two numbers available for that device. That leaves you with 1, 2 or 4. Hope this helps. -- Quadlist is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Performa or Something Else?
My 630CD has three RCA jacks and a DIN-8 (S-video?) port above the serial and ADB ports, but no coax. Without the video kit, how are these ports used? Sounds like you have the Apple Video System - if you had the coax jack it would be the Apple TV/Video System and if you had two coax jacks it would be the Apple TV/FM/Video System. What the RCA and S-Video jacks you have are good for is connecting a camcorder or VCR or video game or whatever and displaying it's video on your Mac's screen, capture QuickTime Movies or Still images, etc. I have a similar if not identical card in my 6400 that I use with an old camcorder and video conferencing software. OTOH - you could have a video-output system installed, for displaying your Mac's video on a TV or recording to a VCR or whatever, but the video-in system seems to be much more popular and common. Hopefully someone here on the list will chime in with a way to tell if your RCA and S-Video jacks are for output or input. -John -- Quadlist is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

LC-III PDS ethernet card and DHCP
My Performa 631CD has the longer LC-III PDS slot. I've installed a Farallon ethernet card which is the regular LC PDS. According to the FAQ and my experience, it should work. Indeed, MacTCP now shows ethernet as an option. This leads me to believe that the problems I'm having getting online are related to DHCP, not the ethernet card itself. The Peforma is running System 7.5.3.

LC575 that never dies...but can it do ethernet?
Greetings. I am once again on quadlist because I have once again acquired my old LC575 that I had donated to our church a while ago. Yes, they went to the (PC) Dark Side--an odd thing for a church to do, don't you think?! This baby simply refuses to die! And 'baby it' I have, over the years. I bought it new in 1995 (when 33MHz, 8MB RAM and a 250MB hard drive was still considered pretty hot stuff). It has always been my favorite machine. It is hard to explain (probably the all-in-one design and that crisp, bright Trinitron display [though only 640X480]). Even now I am thinking about keeping it! I am writing you now on a 500MHz iBook running OS 10.2.1, but I'm trying to find an excuse for bringing that LC back into the house--knowing full well my wife will balk. (Where are we going to put it?!) Maybe I can find another person to donate it to, but I can't bear the insult that someone might be willing to give me $25, were I to try to sell it. I have it maxed at 36MB RAM, the hard drive is either 500 or 800MB (can't remember at the moment) and it has OS 8.1. One thought I had: Could I get an ethernet card and maybe arrange to put it on my hub and cable modem? Are there ethernet cards still out there for LC575s? (Would that be PDS plugable?) Anyone have any experience regarding the practicality of putting an old 68K on broadband, given the limitations on processor speed and screen redraws? Thanks.

Quarda 840av/ Power Mac 8100 Floppy Bracket
Hello. I have a Quadra 840av with a auto inject floppy in it. I wanted to put a manual inject floppy in it and thought all I needed was a bezel from a Power Mac 8100 to do this. I wanted the auto inject floppy for another machine. The bezel fits fine but the drive sits too low in the 840 auto inject bracket for a floppy to eject properly. Does the 8100 have a different floppy bracket than the 840? If so will that bracket fit in the 840? Thanks. John __ Do you Yahoo!?
