A printer may not have an old Mac driver but a lot of network printers will 
work over IP using the Apple LaserWriter driver.

PSU failure on 8100

2017-02-26 Thread Alex Ander 
So I just plugged in a 8100 that is 20 years old. POP goes the PSU. A few 
bang noises very very little smoke.
I guess repairing these isn't worth it.
If I want to get a replacement from a PC, what would I be looking for?
The PSU in the machine is a Delta Electronics DPS-225AB

RE: PSU failure on 8100

2017-02-26 Thread Wesley Furr 
Don't know much about that series of Mac...but in looking online, doesn't
look like it is a stock standard type (AT/ATX/etc) power supply.  May be
able to re-wire an ATX power supply, though the power-on part might be a
challenge.  Probably worth pulling the cover off and having a look inside -
could just be a blown capacitor or something easily replaced.

Thanks, that's an option as well, although I don't have too much experience
with opening PSUs
I will completely remove it and open it, I'll share a pic here If you guys
want.

They're all different, but shouldn't be too difficult.  May be able to see
what is going on without totally tearing it apart.
