This is HUGE! Probably the first web browser that has ever supported 10.3 in over a decade.

The Mac ROM for the X1950 XT is a bit weird, it doesn't have some stuff that linux wants. The Quadro FX 4500 is a good option too but under linux it will struggle due to lack of proprietary drivers. Usually if you are just running linux or are dual booting with Mac OS X the best option is to get...

ohhh, right. i mean, a dead PRAM battery in a wallstreet powerbook is kinda painful. the system will start for a moment and then shut off, then it will turn on after it takes its time to do the memory test of course. i would check your soldering joints of course, and perhaps clean up the jack...

i think somewhere someone had a similar issue with the pdq's charging board and it was fixed by replacing a ceramic/mlcc capacitor: https://tvc-16.science/wallstreet-pram-replacement.html perhaps this might need a replacement

thats odd that they didnt have any HDI45 adapters, lmao. you'd expect to have at least a few with that many 6100s, given that no one really bought the audiovision monitors very much.

oooooo lovely! are you going to have some of the machines for sale? curious. i'd be interested in a couple of 6100s

i love fun projects like this where there's not much practical use, but it works. a lot of people generally dismiss the fun stuff... ugh! very nice work, would love to see it open sourced if possible.

Nearly a couple months back, I won an auction on YAJP for a Macintosh Performa 5210 with a keyboard, mouse, and its original sofware discs it came with. Problem? With sendico, I had to use FedEx to ship it as I didn't have other viable options at the time, and I was told surface mail was not...

I'm glad someone pointed this out. I was kinda skeptical about these eBay 40MHz chips... I sold a fellow member a genuine 33MHz 68040 not too long ago.

G5s have their batteries leak? Oh, I never knew that...

Thank you. I know the last 3 eMac revs like the back of my hand... lol

eMacs unfortunately do suffer from these quite often, and usually the through-hole ones are affected. I have never come across a unit with bad surface-mount caps. My first soldering job was a recap of a Macintosh Classic motherboard, in which I used a power dead eMac motherboard for surface...

I hate when people cut cables off of nicer CRTs. Sure, it's a Packard Bell, but it's free. The evolution of technology has made it a little harder to find CRT monitors in some cases.

They're better than what people think they are, and it would be a fun project! Sure, they may be somewhat failure prone but the first 3 models make great OS 9 machines. Certain models do need a patch, though. The 2005 eMac can be overclocked to 1.92GHz which makes it wicked fast, yet also...
