presently, 1 for 2, for hardware resuscitation this week.
- got my new motherboard for my gaming rig, which had decided to quit POSTing after I tried to FIX THE CLOCK IN BIOS. That machine is now running again, perfectly.
- also got a disk cleaning kit for my Sony Mavica FD-73. unfortunately this model does not like to use cleaning disks, it spins for only a split second before spitting out a drive error. so getting it to read disks again is going to mean taking it apart. sighhhhh
there's a third thing coming in the mail today, an Apple 5x IDE DVD-ROM drive, which will hopefully be in enough working order to correctly respect boot preferences in my G3 blue-and-white and get OS X 10.2 installed on it. we shall, of course, see whether that brings the score up to 2 for 3, or whether i'll have yet another useless IDE optical drive in the collection
