    Breaking a Classic II One Step at a Time (Help!)

    The "recap it" answer to most similar issues is only a stereotype because it's often true! :) Not slagging on you, @beeblebrox ! I've definitely put a few caps in backwards in my day, and taken a _long_ time to figure it out! The full recap is also just good preventative maintenance for...

    Is this the 1.8 or 1.2 power supply? Will be interested to hear how your Bill of Materials matches up; I need to do this work on my Lisa

    SCSI Floppy Drives

    I know a company (PLI?) make a SCSI 3.5" drive that they sold for NeXT systems, and it seems there was a Mac version as well. https://68kmla.org/bb/index.php?threads/pli-superfloppy-2-8.21468/ http://ana-3.lcs.mit.edu/~jnc/cctalk/2001-May/2066.html

    SCSI Floppy Drives

    In a lot of Sun gear this year I got a 5 1/4" SCSI floppy drive. I've not seen one before. I can fathom how it would/could work in *nix, but anything else might be a crapshoot.

    12" Powerbook G4 - No boot, fast fans

    I've come into a clean PB G4 12" that doesn't boot. On powerup, I hear the HD start, and then I get fast system fans and nothing else. No chime, no activity on the screen. Doing PMU reset doesn't change anything with either battery in or battery out. It does seem to be charging the battery...

    Sparcstation 2 feet

    Through some good fortune, I've recently come into three Sparcstation 2 machines - all with Weitek Powerups :-) My question though, is about the feet. On all three of them, it looks like at one point the glue softened, the feet "slid" around, and now the glue is hardened again. The feel are...

    E-mail delivery issues - appear to be resolved

    During monitoring of our email queues, we found a small number of messages that had not been delivered, primarily for registration confirmation emails. Attempting re-sends manually did not work. Looking deeper, it appears the issue was due to different destination mail hosts not accepting...

    Recommended NeXTStation maintenance

    I don't think these particular adapters will work - the size and type of the NeXT battery is different than the 1/2 AA you get in Macs. Pretty sure it's this one. I'd have to go pull one of mine to double check, but I'm 99% sure this is it...
