Hi Everyone,
I been kinda busy with my 9600. I found a couple of folks from Texas Instruments, that were cerimoniously pink slipped, who remembered the chips that I was looking to change to affect the things I wanted to do to the motherboard. I also got hold of a couple of developement 9600 motherboards with no boot roms and it made things easier. But with my attention span the size of a nats naval I quickly jumped on powerbooks and ibooks and started messing with them to find out what could really be done to them. My FrankenMac 9600 is purrin along but I have to work out some more bugs in order to make it compatable with all of Mac OS. Learning all this software is a real pain
I can think of a lot of things I'd rather be doing. This is however nessesary in order to get a real good upgraded machine. I took the advise of Kelly, I beleive, and joined ADC and have been tracking alot of developement stuff. I have also been beseiged with requests for impossible repairs for folks in last ditch efferts to save their comps. Had very very good results for just about everything from motherboard repairs to inverter board repairs for flat panels. I am getting ready to spend some serious bucks for a soldering station with all the impliments to do serioous surgery not for the faint of heart. I have to keep up with Mac OS X.x.x.x?? bugs and fixes too, because just when you think you got something figured out, bang!,
a bug gets you and it is back to square one, or is it the drawing board? Ahh whatever! By4now.
