This is essential reading for anyone that has a classic macintosh - download now!

Just noticed, its the same part number that's sold by applemacparts - so should fit :)

They're a reputable seller, I've bought case parts for my 6100 from them before. If I can have a part number for the panel, I'll do some more digging.

Stickying this!

I really need to build one of these - before Atmel discontinue the ATF series!

@wottle yes, get a desoldering gun, remove them, clean the holes, and then use these: https://www.peconnectors.com/sockets-pga-cpu-and-memory/hws9229/ They're a direct fit.

@Zane Kaminski from Garrett's Workshop might be able to help you with a set of 4x1MB SIMM's :) Or there's Keystron, MemoryMasters etc

I think i need to get one of these for my Poewr Macintosh 475...i'd be interested to see how much i can squeeze out of it!

I guess its the same issue as the other *nix/BSD distro's - the driver for the Rage is far too old to really work with the newer kernels. I'd be tempted to see how it works with older versions of certain distro's - say, from around 2008 or so.

I didn't replace the chips myself but @dosdude1 and @HrutkayMods have done similar before - just remove the old chips, install the new ones (in this case, iirc the cache chips might have also been replaced), then set the jumper resistors correctly. MO drives are usually plug and play, i have a...

I'd actually say, check the serial side of things. We discovered a minor bug with the SE Reloaded when trying system 7, @max1zzz figured out we were missing grounds to the SCC chip. System 7 implemented a test for working serial, it seems.

Well, i finally managed to get hold of the dual CPU heatsink, and i've managed to, with the help of @Zane Kaminski , purchased two Dual 800MHz CPU cards for a quicksilver. These have also been further modified with a pair of G4 7455's, and overclocked to 1.2GHz running cool as a cucumber. I have...

Hmm - there's an errata here: https://ask.adaptec.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/2212/~/what-operating-systems-are-supported-with-the-usb2connect-products%3F The USB2connect products will function properly using the following operating systems: 1) Mac OS 9.x (if installing on a Power Macintosh...

Oh christ no! :o

The LVDS cable probably is fine, its more likely the LVDS connector on the logic board side of things. The backlight driver is an LP8550 - commonly available these days, and pretty easy to replace with even a basic hot air station - flood the chip with flux, heat it, remove it, clean the pads...

Water damage won't be the display, it'll be the LVDS connector, or the backlight driver IC.
