You'll be playing 'count the pixels' if you run a 475 on a 21" LCD.  
They largest screen resolution they generally run well at is  
[EMAIL PROTECTED], and that relies on you having a full 1MB of VRAM  
installed. As mentioned you need an adapter also.


Personally I'd not bother unless it's your only screen you have to  
hand. You'd be much better off with a 15" or a 17" CRT or something  
that has a closer native resolution.

You'd need a mac to pc vga adapter and possibly a vga to dvi adapter depending
on the make of the screen...

Oh yeah, max out the vram if at all possible

Re: lcd screen on lc475

[Scott Baret]

I'd look for a better video card if I were you. The
LC475 has a PDS slot. If this is being used (many
LC475s have ethernet installed) and you have to use
the internal video (with our without a VGA switch)
definitely take the VRAM up to the max.

Probably with a Mac to VGA adapter, if the screen
has a VGA input. Resolution probably won't be what
you would like, but...

IIfx Mouse problem

[Kyle Koerner]

Hi all,
In addition to the hard drive power problem with my IIfx board, another 
problem is there too.  When I turn the thing on, there is no mouse 
movement.  Period.  You can use the keyboard to navigate, but no mouse. 
 This happens with different mice/keyboards, different configurations 
(ADB port, keyboards, etc), and even different hard drives with 
different system folders.  Also, Mouse Keys do not work.  They can be 
enabled and the clicking (5 or 0) work, just like on the mouse.  Just 
no linear movement.


Any ideas?
Thanks,
Kyle-

Opps! Driver for Carrera 040

[mercurydesign]

Hello all,

I have over the years misplaced my copy of MicroMac's driver for my carrera 
040. 
The link to their software down load is dead. The most recent version is 1.8. 
Any one have this. Can't do a thing without it.

Best Regards

Terence

Rick,
Sorry, not sure what the actual name is - it's a little square thing 
which I can't tell you more about because it is just a scorched 
block...


The Mac II does power up, just without a hard drive (i have an external 
though).  Funny thing is, my external case (AppleCD 300e) has no 
problem with the 5" drive.


Still, any advice?

Mac II resister blown

[Kyle Koerner]

Hi all,
Got a Mac II today - or, rather, a Mac IIfx in a II case.  Cleaned it, 
replaced PRAM batteries with working ones, and powered on once without 
drives.  PS took a few tries, but did come on.  All seemed well, so I 
turned it off and added drives (1 FD and a 5" 60 meg HD.  Turned this 
on, and when the drive started to spin up, a resister, labeled L4 (near 
power connector for HD) became red, smoldered, and went *snap* as I 
quickly unplugged the power.  Is this the drive's fault?  It seems to 
be in the region of the hard drive power connector.


Another, side issue I noticed was some brown gunk coming from the 
processor region.  What is this?  There aren't any capacitors near 
there that could have leaked...


Thanks for any help.

Hi everyone - been browsing the list for a while and decided to subscribe. 
Visiting my parents house a couple of weeks ago I saw our old Macs sitting on 
the shelf in the storage room, and thought it would be interesting to see if I 
could start to get them running again. I did some looking online regarding what 
people are doing with them and was astounded! I've got a 512k, SE, and IIcx 
currently. 
My first project is to get the IIcx up and running. I'm running by a friends 
house this afternoon to pick up his Apple 14" monitor to use with it (I've read 
it won't work with just a simple adaptor to a VGA+ monitor) and then I'll start 
the process of restoring the IIcx to a running state.
One thing I've done so far without a monitor connected, is to plug the IIcx in 
and turn it on, I get a power light and the drive spins up, however I don't 
hear a boot chime and no HD activity light. I'll open it up and check the 
connections tonight. I also tried to boot from a floppy and no go. I've been 
reading it could possibly be a bad PRAM battery? Does anyone have any insight 
on this? Can I find a replacement at Radio Shack, and are they clipped or 
soldered onto the motherboard? 
Thanks everyone and looking forward to using my vintage macs again!
