The 780 sounds like it may be your best bet. The 745 is known to have lots of capacitor plague issues, so it isn't ideal. The 780 appears to be known for bad power supplies though. Anything of that age is going to have some known problem though. Other issue though is that a computer that new...

Doesn’t look like you’re message came through - just the quote.

Fixed mine with a logic board recap. I had an intermittent and sometimes broken chime and no boot/video. Works fine now after recapping the LB.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/166227307143 Looks like one of iClamVideo’s iBooks just hit eBay - their custom pink blueberry model. Doesn’t look like it’s got the XGA though. Also not the original seller.

What fix would that be? I’m curious to know.

Excellent find! If the LCD ends up defective, correct replacement part numbers should be: Sharp LQ12S11 or Samsung LT121S4-105. I'm unsure as to whether you would need a different LCD cable to switch between the two manufacturers. In older models you did, and I believe the later iBook Clamshells...

Alright. I think instead I’m going to give the IIsi the hard drive that’s currently in the 7100, and my 7100 will get the BlueSCSI. That probably makes more sense anyway as the 7100 is the more powerful computer.

I bought a fixer upper IIsi from the VCF East swap meet in June. Had been recapped already but was missing any RAM expansion, the floppy drive is dead, and it had no hard drive. I’ve since maxed out the RAM, bought and assembled a BlueSCSI V2 for it, and verified the BlueSCSI worked on my 7100...

Presumably if the one you have now is running Windows 98, and you got it a couple decades ago, you got it when it wasn’t that old. Nowadays, picking up a 20 year old system isn’t going to yield the same reliability as one would have when it was just 5 or so years old. Components in all of them...

Really like this one. I should start one of these myself! What did you use as a container?

Are you aware of what is wrong with your current computer? Like even just a general description of what makes you think it's dying. Also, what model is it? Or is it a custom build? It's possible or even likely that repairing it could be as simple as swapping out the power supply inside of it, or...

Thanks! It appears my hosting enabled all the unneeded security stuff at some point so I’ve got to figure out how to turn that all off :)

Whoops forgot to update here. I put the same thread out on 68kMLA and the feedback was largely what you two have said and I agree - here's the updated version. I'm really happy with it now, what do y'all think? As for the width of everything - I want to prioritize usability for the majority of...

I had a burst of inspiration this evening and spent a few hours putting both my novice web design and novice photoshop skills to work on a whole styling facelift for my website, and this was the result: https://macdat.net/index_test.html I personally think it turned out really well for the...

The way I do things is using a PiSCSI device: https://github.com/PiSCSI/piscsi It's basically a BlueSCSI with a web interface and a whole lot more functionality (with a couple major caveats). It reduces the "bridge machine shuffle" to a simple process: Download a piece of software in .sit...

Thanks for the values. I knew they were there but didn’t know the values to add to my site - will get that up soon!

I figured out what was causing it, the bodge I soldered was right next to a ground pin on the controller IC and it was bridging intermittently. All good now, not the switch at fault in the end :)

Just watched it. It was great! A bit of embellishment on what actually went down back in the day no doubt, but it’s a fun watch.

Man, if only we could get in contact with 'iClamVideos". That would help a lot!
