A less expensive way, if you have access to some cheap PC monitors (or have some good ones on hand), is to get a Mac->VGA adapter box, like the one Omnimac sells. Macvizion has these (macvizion.com). That will let you use your Mac on a lot of PC monitors, but not all of them. I personally can g

The Quadra PDS is a different beast than the IIsi and SE/30 PDS. Same principle though. The slot that looks like a 72 pin SIMM slot is Apple's hedge against the chance they may have screwed up something in the ROM. Apparently they did in the very early IIsi as some shipped with a ROM SIMM. Those

Allow me to redeem myself in the eyes of pickle. :) Ahem. The parts in your IIfx are as follows. The riser card is an adapter board that converts your PDS slot to a NuBUS slot. That's probably where your NuBUS SuperMac card is attached. Those adapters SOMETIMES come with FPUs onboard. The 30-p

Thanks, so far... And peeking inside my Quadra, I see what was meant by the connector being longer. Learn something new every day... Now I'm trying to find out just which SuperMac card I have on here. I'll be replacing the PRAM battery shortly, hopefully that'll help. What would also help (if

Quicktime video plays very well on my IIci, as long as you tune it properly, i.e. turn on the 128k cache, turn off unneccesary extensions, etc. I have a Turbo 040-40, 48mb RAM. Can anyone explain this-- why does my Turbo 040 cause my IIsi or IIci to crash whenever the Cache is on?! -- Deven G

Additionally, if you want to install a NuBUS card in your IIsi, bear in mind that the slot is PDS, or a Processor Direct Slot, not a NuBUS slot. A NuBUS card won't fit. (And even if it did, it wouldn't work. :) ) You'll have to find a PDS->NuBUS adapter. Try to get one with a PDS and NuBUS slot

I really don't know what to tell you about the video, but yes, I'd say it could be damaged. Try cleaning the connector, and see if that helps. As for the Mac losing its settings, find a small black box on the motherboard. Pull off the top, take out the battery, and replace it with another of th
