Hello, I have an Intel D850GB motherboard with a socket 423 pentium 4 processor. For the life of me, I can't figure out how to install the heat sink. There are two black plastic fittings and it appears that they get screwed into the board. The heat sink then is fastened to the plastic fittings...

Hi everyone I apologize in advance for the long post. I have a Compaq Presario 4122 and I'm trying to run Windows 95 or 98 on it using a CF card. I've done some reading and it looks like not all CF cards are "bootable." I found a program called ATCFWCHG.COM that will supposedly turn a...

Hi everyone, Has anyone heard back from Charles from MacCaps? I saw there was a thread from a month ago regarding Charles and how no one has heard from him. I too sent him an email recently, but never heard back...he usually replies within a matter of hours. Is he okay? I would really...

Hi everyone, I have a Quadra 840 AV board that was working in the past, but no longer works. The board was recapped back when it was fully functional. After not touching it for a few months, I tried turning it on. The first time, it booted up just fine, but when I turned it off and started it...

Hey everyone, I was wondering if any of the powerbooks run on 68k processors? If so, which of these models are considered to be the "best of the best"? I'm new to powerbooks and just wanted to get more of a feel for what they are like and which models are the best.

Hello, I just upgraded a hard drive in my color classic and I have noticed that the hard drive runs very hot. I was looking at some HDD cooling fans on the internet. I found some that are two fans that mount onto the hard drive. They seem like nice compact fans. However, I am a little worried...

Hello, Can anyone tell me how I can discharge a Macintosh Color Classic CRT monitor? I need to gain access to its hard drive and am a little nervous since I only used the computer yesterday. I have seen a lot of people using their own tools to discharge their monitors but I don't trust myself...

Hello, I'm trying to install OS 7.1 on a mystic color classic. The problem is, I don't have to correct enabler to do this. I am using a disk set of OS 7.1 that is used for normal color classics, so it contains the normal CC enabler. I have been able to find enabler 065 ver 1.1 and have...

Hello, I have a Macintosh LC up and running, I wanted to make a backup of the OS so that I can put it on another computer that does not have an OS. Is there an option on the Mac OS that allows you to back up the OS onto multiple floppies? Sorry if I'm not making much sense, its late at night...

Hello everyone, anyone know what this could be due to and how to fix it?

Hello, I have an old mac game that is on a CD, however the macintosh I wanted to install it on only has a floppy drive. The installation CD is only a few megabytes large. So this means that I would have to make it fit on multiple floppies. So I guess my question is, how can I do that on a 68k...

Hello, I was wondering what would most likely be the cause of a "sticky" floppy drive? By that I mean, having to pull the disk out by force after the floppy drive ejects the disk. Do you think it has to do with the "metal slider" on the floppy disk coming loose and grabbing on to something...

Hello, Are there any new alternatives to the old Macintosh LC HDD? I know it is going to give out one of these days, just thought I'd be prepared.

Hello everyone, I am trying to get a Macintosh LC to work with a VGA LCD monitor. I went out and got a DB15 to VGA adaptor, but I cannot figure out what the 10 correct pin setting is on the device? The monitor keeps on saying "incompatible signal". I have here a copy of the pin settings, I was...
