So I finally decided to risk this upgrade, FAQ in hand I've gathered the pieces together. The only problem is that I haven't been able to find anyone who's even heard of thermal tape/glue (which is what the FAQ recommends for attaching the heat sink) I am just tempted to use duct tape here.... anyone hae any ideas fo...

Hello I recently accelerated my Mac Plus (MicroMac 25MHz accelerator) and now I can't get my Mac to boot off of the hard disk. It boots fine from a floppy, and I can mount the hard disk using SCSI probe, but I cannot get it to boot from the hard drive. I installed a new driver, so I don't think that is the probl...

Wrong, the CD300 (external) is just a plain ol' SCSI device. No, multisession capability and double speed are two different thing. Its just that the newer CD ROM drives have both capability. Multisession means that when you put more pictures on a photo CD after the first session, the drive can read and displ...

In light of the 100 letter over "What was the LISA" I thought I'd start a new one. What was the IIvx? I hear it was some machine that predated the main 040 line by about 6 mos, but used obsolete tech. Rumor has it that several were sold....

You are quite correct in your understanding. The filtering is not interpolation, as that would distort the frequency content of the signal you are listening to. Generally, these players run the samples thru an all-pass filter network. I have done this for ECG waveforms from a person's heart, and the effect is rath...

Larger drives tend to have multipule platters which can allow adjacent bits to be read in parallel resulting in higher throughput. They also have higher spindle speeds which leads to both increased throughput and reduced seek times (due to reduction of rotational latency.)

No. I recently bought an LC II with a 14" monitor. The monitor comes with the type of power cable that plugs into the switched outlet on the back of most larger Macs. Since the LC II doesn't have one of these outlets, there was an extra standard power cable included with the computer for use with the monitor. But ...

Close, but no cigar. The LISA was introduced in January, 1983 (at the same time as the Apple //e). I'll have to check to see if the Hard Drive came bundled for the $10K. The floppy drives were 5.25" initially (the infamous "twiggy" drives)

The first step is to make sure that there is no DC component, intentional or not, on the audio lines to be switched. If neither the output or input presents an unintentional DC level (let's say they're capacitively coupled), then putting a 22 K resistor from each input to ground, and from the output to ground is a goo...

Oh, yeah. This is a fine place. We haven't had the "why does concrete kill lead-acid batteries" thread in at least six months. The concrete simply sucks all the electrons out of the battery and drains them into the ground. Another explanation, implausible as it is, is that the lead-acid battery needs to be perio...
