A dead IIci?

My dear old IIci doesn't start up tonight. It was working fine about a month ago and I didn't do anything with it since that time. The symptoms: 1. I get the normal 'boing' sound when I turn it on. No chimes of death! 2. The screen doesn't light up. 3. The hard drive isn't spinning. 4. Inserting

NetBSD_ROM reports strange problems (and causes another)

Dag jongens, The 1.5.2-version of the Netbsd operating system for 68k Macs contains the cute little program NetBSD_ROM for checking the ROM of the Mac on which you want to install Netbsd. It just lists ROM information. Such a list of ROM-contents could be useful for other purposes as well I thin

serial connection between an old Mac and a Sun IPX

Re: Format a PC IDE Drive

Are you putting an IDE drive in a Vintage Mac that is built for SCSI? An interesting experiment, that's for sure! I was just trying to figure out the size of the hard disk of a Dell PC I found on the street tonight, but I had no plans of using it in one of my Vintage Macs. The FAQ only mentions

All the batteries mentioned in the GURU 2.8 database are of the 3.6v Radio Shack type that you bought. Maxell ER3S is compatible, according to GURU. BTW, does anyone know if the GURU database is still maintained after the decease of Newer.com? I would love to have a version with information about
