    Macintosh LC III with FPU and PDS Ethernet card

    @Fizzbinn The card I have is the Apple 10base-T. I've not had the chance to test the card without the FPU present yet. I'll give that a try before I install the Farallon card that I ordered. I'll report back once I know more.

    Macintosh LC III with FPU and PDS Ethernet card

    Thanks, two data points (for such an old Mac with the same configuration) makes me feel confident enough to pull the trigger on getting the Farallon. I've also overclocked mine. So mine is an LC III+ with FPU, 768K VRAM, 36MB of RAM. I may try pulling the FPU and seeing what happens with the...

    Macintosh LC III with FPU and PDS Ethernet card

    I should have said that I did purchase a PLCC extractor after I concluded that I would most likely break something if I tried to remove it that way, but at the time I figured I couldn't have it both ways and would rather have the FPU to give that old 68030 the most power it could possibly have...

    Macintosh LC III with FPU and PDS Ethernet card

    Like many here, I maxed out my childhood Mac. It's an LC III where I purchased all the upgrades that didn't cost an arm and a leg. Cut to a month ago and I finally got around to recapping the mother board and PSU. That went successfully. When testing I added one thing at a time to ensure I...

    Internal chassis replacement for Macintosh Performa 6116CD

    @phunguss In regards to splitting the print up into smaller parts, that's what I was thinking too! Also, I'll reach out to wottle, thanks for the suggestion. However, it still sounds like I need to get to work with modeling a 3D represntation of the internal chassis, it'll be a fun learning...

    Macintosh LC III with BlueSCSI not booting unless I reset the PRAM

    Thanks, the weird thing is that it was working on HD1, but that's before I installed the MacBatt. I wonder if once the PRAM is reset, the Mac does more probing for a boot drive. I don't know why it then wouldn't have retained that information since it could now.

    Internal chassis replacement for Macintosh Performa 6116CD

    Hello! I've been searching for it, but I'm unable to find anyone who has a replacement Performa 6116CD internal chassis. Years ago, I purchased the machine from eBay and it came from a seller who packaged it really well, but there's really nothing they could have done for the internal chassis...

    Macintosh LC III with BlueSCSI not booting unless I reset the PRAM

    Yes, I should have included that. Both the motherboard and PSU have been recapped. I have also modded it to be an LC III+ running at 33Mhz. UPDATE: I kept picking at it. I even used Snooper to test the PRAM--no problems found. Something about the SCSI Bus numbering bothered me. I saw where...

    Macintosh LC III with BlueSCSI not booting unless I reset the PRAM

    I am unable to find anyone with this issue. I recently got a MacBatt, popped it in, everything seemed fine, the BlueSCSI and LC III are working great, but ever time I powercycle or reboot, I get the question mark on a floppy icon. After much troubleshooting, I am able to get the LC III to...
