Dead NuBus cards - how to revive???
Hi All! Here's a good one for those of you with a DIY technical background: What are the most common issues that could make a NuBus card DOA? I recently received an FWB SCSI Jackhammer that does not show up in Apple System Profiler, and Tattle Tech also cannot detect the presence of the card when installed. Essentialy, this therefore is a dead card. What are the first things I should look for in trying to repair this card? I assume that I should first check to be sure that it is receiving power from the motherboard - true? Do these cards sometimes have onboard power supplies that fail? What about blown microfuses (what would a fuse look like that wasn't a conventional fuse) - is there such a thing as an SMD fuse? I'm ready to dive in really deep, and I've got all my test equipment out... who's able to help point me in the right direction as to how to proceed? TIA (very much!)

Re: Dead NuBus cards - how to revive???
Step 1 : Check the pins on the NuBus connector of the Jackhammer. It is relatively easy to bend the pins and if the right one is bent... NoGo. Step 2 : Do a visual inspection of the card for any damaged components or leads... Perhaps verify the oscillator is working (although I do not believe the oscillator would prevent card detection). Step 3 : Buy a new card. I don't know what else to tell you. It is possible to troubleshoot anything, but without a schematic (or more) it is not going to be easy, or worth the time. FYI : The resistors (3) mean nothing regarding the card being detected by the OS. They are simply termination resistors. There is a Surface mount fuse on the board (and a power supply), but I believe both are part of the termination circuitry.

On the topic of NUBUS cards I have two lying here doing nothing; an apple High-Res graphics card and a network card with 10base-2 and AUI ports. Anybody want them? = Stan __ Do you Yahoo!?

Re: Identify this Bit of Daystar History?
It is an accelerator for a Quadra... Either a 33 MHz or a 40 MHz 68040 processor to upgrade a Q-700 / Q-800 / Q-900 / Q-950 and maybe a Q-650... although I have never seen a 650. In addition to a faster CPU, it adds a 128K cache (sort of). The little expansion connector is used to add a twin ATT DSP card giving Photoshop acceleration. Derek I saw this item http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemitem=2758932544category=4610 while browsing Ebay. The seller claims that it's for a II, LC or SE, but that sure looks like a Quadra PDS connector on the bottom of the board. The thing is, I can't figure out why one would put a 68040 upgrade in a Quadra. That's clearly a 68040 chip on the upgrade card. Does anyone remember this thing? What's the scoop?

Sad Mac Code help needed
To all...HELP! I just picked up a Quadra 840av a few days ago from a Swap List member the other day and he said that the computer had booted up OK. However when I started it up I initially got the normal startup tone then some strange-sounding (percussion-type) audio before everything quit and no video output. I installed a 8*24GC video card and tried again. This time I got video output and a Sad Mac code of: 000F 000C What is wrong? Thanks! Hal -- Quadlist is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Hi Hal, Have you got any old other drive kicking around that you can pop in so as to narrow down your diagnostic perspective? Run a few diagnostic programs on the box?

HTH Hi R.A., I'm using 9.1 on a 9500 and I want those external players for my Quads as you've probably figured out. . . so do you think a copy of the Apple Driver would support 7.6.1 or am I going to have to up the 7.5.1 in my 660av to 8.1 first. I know I have the 7.6.1 Apple Driver happening cause I just got the Caddy-style internal CD-ROM working in the 660av. . . If the Apple Driver I already installed in the 660av was going to work with the new external CD-ROM shouldn't it have done so. . . without any special moves?
