My apologies for tagging along, but there seems to be a few people
who know about these PPC beasts.
I've got an old Performa 6100/60 (the first Power Mac if I read my
Apple history right0. It boots and seems to run just fine, but
there's no sound--nothing, not even the power-on chimes. Control
panel says that nothing's muted and the volume is up full.
The PRAM battery is new; I was able to check that the speaker and
audio amplifier work by injecting a small signal into its input.
Beyond that, it seems to be Apple proprietary VLSI or custom chips
from other manufacturers.
Does anyone have a clue? I'd refer to my 6100 schematics and chip
datasheets, but of course, there are none. Apple's "if it doesn'''t
work, buy a new one" philosophy, I guess.
