Also these same PSUs can be used with other PowerBooks (IIRC at least 2400, 3400, original iBook) so if by chance you have one of those you could confirm it works with them.

You can safely test the power adapter voltage by using a bit of heat shrink tubing around the center pin in its connector so that it isolates it from the outer shield when jamming the meter's probes in. I have not had a working PRAM battery in any of these PowerBooks. I do know of a case with...

I can't see it actually stated anywhere (but I can't believe you've not tried it) but I assume you've hit the power button? It's normal for these to behave like the one in your video did, where when you initially connect power to one that has no (main) battery, it powers on with full fans for a...

This is great info, thanks so much!

It certainly matches a Blue and White G3 very well! Here using a SGI Multilink adapter converting to DVI connected to an ATI Radeon 9200LE.

I had no idea these existed until one came up for free near me recently. This one is the SGI variant though, which seems to have been simply a rebadge of the Radius Artica, thus coming full circle? 😄 The front SGI badge is a sticker and you can see how they put a replacement SGI sticker over...

This is great! Looking forward to a newer release so I can give it a go on my stack of LC/Performa 475 and Quadra 605 Macs 😁

I used your build you'd attached in the comments to your video.

I did some testing with this a little while back and didn't run into any issues using a BlueSCSI v2 off the internal SCSI bus. I was able to overclock a Quadra 605 with its stock 25MHz CPU and a LC 475 which had already been HW overclocked to 33MHz. Both ran ok at 40MHz, the highest it’d set...

Hello everyone! Anyone know where I can find schematics for LC475/Quadra 605 variants? Or if they exist in the wild at all? I've used LC III schematics before to do repairs since the systems are "similar" but would much rather have the correct ones Thanks!

Very cool seeing all the packaging for the MacTilt! And yes that's my Mac SE/30 and stands - I totally love these stands, how they look and move. Seems almost like a perfect matching design.

I plan to be there! .. And My Axe!

So great you got it all working, and the reward of that speed!

They've been found, thanks to @Mac84!

Hmm intreaging 🤔
