I remember reading a long time ago that on the snow iBooks the GPU tended to break down over time but I wondered what other things aside from long dead batteries could come up. Other thoughts: Is it possible to have the GPU professionally resoldered? Are the batteries able to be rebuilt? Could...

PSU Needs to be reworked, IIRC it can be coaxed up using a variac but booted with a standard AT PSU as well. Top cover is missing and I could not locate it :( Comes with: VGA card FDD/HDD controller 3.5in floppy drive 2 5.25in floppy drives (I think these were the ones it came with, I haven't...

I've been fiddling with this off and on for a bit now and I cannot get the slip interface on the pi to transmit anything. Rx bytes come in when the vintage PC runs ping from mtcp but it times out and ifconfig shows no transmitted packets. I have verified that the two are communicating properly...

Okay so I have to seveeerely cut down on my part count and even though I just built this setup I'm not gonna have the space for it. Specs are: ASUS P3V4X Slot-1 motherboard (Tualatin P3 microcode added to bios) Modified Intel Pentium III-S 1.4GHz processor on a Socket 370 to Slot 1 converter...

Hay. So I bought a nice copper cooler for my 1.4GHz Tualatin P3 and I'm still reading an in-bios temp of ~50c, no different than the stock cooler I had :( I reapplied the thermal paste and got the same result so I'm assuming here isn't enough pressure pushing the heatsink onto the processor...

Appears to be an ESDI card. The floppy part works but my only ESDI drive is toast so I can't tell if that part works. Pics: Front Back Eh... 10 Bucks plus shipping from Canada?

Comes with: 486 DX-33 8MB 30 Pin memory (Memtest OK: 7 Passes) 256K L2 Cache The barrel battery is gone so you'll need to supply your own CMOS battery. I can include my little home made coin cell one if you want, it's just a few inches long though. Pics: Full board CPU and memory Cache Model...

Hi. I'm finally getting around to testing my old parts and my combo of an Ultrastor ULTRA12F24 and Micropolis 1558 is no longer working. I'm currently testing it in a ISA/VLB 486 board and all it does is give me a C: drive error on boot. I had previously tested it working on either my IBM 5162...

I tested these up to them mounting on the desktop, can't do much beyond that because I don't have any more classic macs kicking around. Looking for $15CDN, PM me if you're interested and I'll get you a shipping quote.

I just dragged it out from collecting dust and did a bit of work on it but the HDD caddy is nowhere to be found. Honestly I'm not big on buying a new one because I need to sell this Mac to claim some space. Any thoughts on some kind of hack? I'm not a stickler for quality either, hell, just...

Yeah. There are no diagrams showing the correct orientation and assuming it should face the same way as the other ISA cards is a bad idea. Something somewhere released the magic smoke. Not that it's a huge deal because the motherboard wasn't working to begin with but I hope it's the card that...

http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=261286469859 It's been collecting dust so I'd rather it go to someone who'd actually use it. Also I need the money lol. :P

I bought a ds1225ad nvsram chip a few months back and I cannot get it to work. I installed it in a SMC 8013WC card, set the jumpers to software, and configured the ROM in various ways. One attempt I set the base address to D000 and the size to 64k but debug shows FFs for that area and nothing...

I wondered why my iPod was making my music sound terrible, seems like the internal parts are a bit flimsy... Or, I'm just clumsy as ****. Headphone jack cable assembly: I followed the directions I found but I guess that tiny connector really doesn't like being moved around. Too bad I just...

Bah. I'm not sure what to do with it, the hard drive is seized up and was making horrific noises until I disconnected it and it looks like the floppy is toast. I've read about fixing the floppies in some cases but that's way beyond my skill level, is it just best to throw it up as-is or...

So I've opened up my IBM Model 30 and this card was sitting there with a lovely open ROM socket just waiting to be used, but unfortunately I think it needs configuration software to be enabled. Does anyone know where I can get it? Google comes up empty.

Along with the other inane things I'm up to, trying to run Win98SE without a hard disk is giving me the most difficulty. So far all I've found was booting using memdisk, which is fine, and I even found a way to sync it back to the virtual machine hosting the image. However, there seems to be...

Of course I could buy a programmer, but IIRC decent ones are pretty expensive. I just wondered if there is a cheap, easy way to program a 28-pin ROM. Despite days of trying, you cannot simply embed them into the BIOS and expect it to be run. :(

Bonus if it's listed here: http://www.oocities.org/_lunchbox/tualeron_success_table.html The things I have: 486 ISA/VLB Motherboard with 66MHz CPU, 8MB 30pin memory, and I believe it has real cache! 486 M919 ISA/PCI/VLB Motherboard with no cache. Poke me and I can pair it up with 16MB memory...

I've been trying to build one for the past 2 days but I'm beginning to think it's impossible. Of all my attempts it either: Instantly reboots Hangs at a blinking cursor Hangs at "Booting the kernel" I built a uClibc based userspace which runs fine under Qemu at least, but it's all moot if I...
