Hi, Friend!
I've just inherited this Tangerine iMac, with 64MB of Ram from a
friend, who
needs her old hard drive back. My old Rev B 233, with two 256 sticks
of RAM
inside, has died.
I'd like to do brain surgery on the two of them, and replace the
Tangerine's
64MB of RAM and the hard drive which I need to return with the RAM and
hard
drive from my Rev B.
First, is this feasible? Will the RAM which works (they only show up as
128MB each on the Rev B) in my old iMac work in the Tangerine?
The Version B iMac uses a different type of memory. It will not fit
into the DIMM slots in the Tangerine.
Where can I find step-by-step disassembly & re-assembly instructions
for the
two machines, specifically for accessing the RAM and the hard drive
for each
of these two machines.
Have you tried apple.com ? Try the support tab. Apple is good at
giving specs for their products. I wish IBM was so good.
Also, once I install the Rev B hard drive in the Tangerine, which is
faster,
newer and has a DVD drive, should I reinstall the system software on
each of
the partitions, so that the installer will correct any differences in
machine needs to meet the requirements of the new home for the hard
drive in
the Tangerine? The 40GB hard drive I'm bringing over now has OS X
v10.2.8
and OS 9.2.1 on the first partition of 5.75GB; OS 8.6 on the second
partition of 991.7MB; and OS 9.1 on the third partition, also of
991.7MB.
The fourth partition has no OS. I have a copy of OS 10.3 to install.
Should
I try it?
I would reinstall all operating systems. Do you have a Macintosh 8.6
CD? That seems rare.
