Some of my items have the original boxes, in various states, that I'd like to store, but don't want them to be destroyed. I like to use my vintage Macs, so the items are not stored in the boxes, but I also need to make room in my bonus room for actual living, and was going to move the boxes to...

From my understanding, this mod will work with the Takky mod, although I wonder if the additional strain on the analog board from the VGA mod, combined with the additional power needs for the PowerPC chip will shorten the life of the analog board. Also, with the Takky mod, you're already...

You can reach the iMac G3 battery through the opening meant for installing RAM or Airport Cards. It's not super easy, but not too hard to get it out.

Appreciate the reminder. I was looking at my collection and couldn’t remember if I had taken the battery out of my TAM. I get kind of lazy with my PowerMacs because they have the 4.5v box batteries that I’ve seen fewer horror stories from. Popped open the back and sure enough, I still had the...

I'm not sure. I bet @Kay K.M.Mods would know, though.

Any idea if you can get a new edge connector for the Color Classic / Performa 575 logic board? I got aboard from a non-working Color Classic only to find it was due to a broken pin, I was able to solder a little bit of metal to replace it. And the machine worked, but it looks terrible and I'm...

(Edit: adding disclaimer: I should make it clear this is not due to lack of information on JDW's video. He covered it at 7:15 of the video, but I'm an idiot and even though I watched the whole video when it first came out, I skipped ahead to the action when I went to go watch the steps today...

It's likely an issue with my printer. My supports didn't come off cleanly and there was some left over supports on the bottom which pushed the board up as a slight angle. and there may have been some left over supports on the bottom edge of the top of the opening. So the card was rubbing...

Really love this design. Is there a reason you didn't make the opening a bit larger for the microSD card? Maybe my printer is printing a bit small. but I need to use pliers to get the SD car because it's so tight of a fit. I like the look, but it feels like the SD card opening could be twice...

If anyone runs into this, I may have some suggestions that could help. I ended up removing the CRT, then disconnecting the plastic frame that holds the analog and logic boards from the front face of the case by depressing the two tabs on each side where it joins to the front of the case...

Anyone else have extreme difficulty removing the Color Classic analog board after all cables have been removed. I watched @Branchus' video on the removal and his slides right out. Is it possible the edge connectors are fused somehow. I've used a good amount of force and cannot get it to...

What about Previous for NextStep? https://previous.unixdude.net/about.html

Unfortunately, I have the IIc Plus, otherwise, I'd be in for this!

Not my work table, but this was my setup a while back. Ended up being a little too crowded, so I've narrowed it down to just 4 machines up top, ready for use. Planning on swapping the SE for my Mystic Color Classic once I finish the upgrades (so far I've recapped the 575 logic board, added a...

As for the security slot idea, I can confirm that a microSD card extension cable like the one @Kai Robinson linked to can be inserted through the security port. I wanted access to the SD in my Classic II, which doesn't have the expansion slot of the SE or SE/30. So rather than damage the case...

Yeah, I tried removing everything not necessary when I first started troubleshooting. No change. So, I finally decided to avoid the inevitable and took the CPU / water cooling assembly off and confirmed what I suspected (but was hoping I was wrong). The cooling system was leaking, but not...

Yeah, I've done the air cooled ones and it's not bad. Just never the liquid cooled ones. I have a Torx driver that worked to get past the heatsinks on the air cooled ones. Hopefully it will work to get the liquid cooling system out. While I do that, I'm probably going to redo the liquid...

So, I've been distracted with other things, but I've been unable to get it to boot successfully from the AHT / ASD disk while also putting out video. I'll try getting into Open Firmware if I can get video out again. And also try booting in verbose mode. It's inconsistent in how far into the...

Let me know if you build a capacitor list when you do it. Just picked up an older eMac and will add it to my backlog of machines to recap.

So, I did try to "broken" AGP card in my working G5 and it worked fine. I also tried throwing an additional PCI graphics card in there (it only had VGA out) and I didn't get vide out on either the DVI from the AGP card(s) or the VGA out on the PCI card. However, I just removed the AGP card...
