Is that actually true? I have always been under the impression that System 7.5.3 fixed all the known bugs in the original release of 7.5, and that the later 7.5.5 was more of a "cosmetic" release. Anyone know for sure? I'm just curious... Bob - Original Message - From: "Liam Pr

Oh, I see what you mean. Could it possibly be that someone had put a real Quadra 605 motherboard in that LCIII case? I think they fit perfectly. In any event, I was always under the impression that the "LCIII+" designation stood for the 33MHz version of the standard 25MHz LCIII, possibly only so

I think those A20 and A21 jumpers have something to do with whether the Mac's ROM is recognized or not. I vaguely recall that there was some talk about a ROM SIMM that was planned to supplement or replace the original LC ROM. Bob - Original Message - From: "J.S. Garrison"

Re: LC II as a server?

Hi Clark, Pins 4 and 11, huh? That's quite interesting. My choice of shorting pins 7 and 10 was from information gleaned from Apple, at: Technical Note HW08:http://developer.apple.com/technotes/hw/hw_08.html Video Pinouts: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=9089 Bo

Re: LC II as a server?

An LC or an LCII makes a great little headless server. To get around the need for a monitor to boot, I made a small "flat-bottomed U-shaped" jumper out of a paperclip, just large enough to short pins #7 and #10 on the monitor connector. That makes it think a 640x480 display is attached. I don't

Re: System 7.5.3 (was: new to the list-LC help needed)

System 7.5.3 (was: new to the list-LC help needed)

Does anyone have a clue as to why Apple finally released 7.5.3 this way? It seems very awkward for most people. I'm just happy I was able to get the update version of 7.5.3 when it was available as 14 disk images, even though it required that 7.5 already be installed. It has come in very handy.

Mark, It is most likely that your LC power supply's leads are color-coded the same as mine all are, so in order: Black (2 of them) = GND Orange = +5v Yellow = +12v Blue = -5v In addition, on the "business end" of the power supply's output plug, the number "1" is lightly stamped at the first
