Extreme Systems Extender 030 - 33MHz upgrade for Mac LC

Someone had a bid sniper running and drove it up to 16 bucks at the last second.. But I still won it. It'll be cool to see what it can do for my CC

Anyone know about these.. Im curious to get it into the machine

Never seen that particular one. I have one from Applied Engineering. Yours looks cooler.

Yeah it looks neat.. Should make an interesting upgrade for it.. Hopefully itll make system 7 snappier

My Presto 040 upgrade (which is compatible with my Color Classic) has an issue where it doesn't boot with 4MB VRAM on the Color Classic. Hopefully yours won't have any silly incompatibilities like that.

I dont have the full VRAM in mine.. I should get some for it

... and you think this will work in a CC why?

CC Logicboard is the same thing as an LC II architecture wise. There would be no reason for a PDS accelerator not to work.

You entered a contract by winning the item and unless it's written there in the description it means nothing. Payment to be received within 15 minutes of auction ending was NOT in that description.

Sounds to me like he changed his mind selling it - keep an eye out incase it gets re listed, bet it doesn't!

In which case, is there an option for you as a buyer to report him to ebay or make some sort of formal complaint?

5 feedback and 75%, no wonder the seller didn't want to deal with you.

Whatever you say sport.

The reason the feedback on this account is low is because Its an account I havent used in years, and as far as the one negative on there.. The buyer who bought the nintendo made threats of violence if it wasnt shipped immedately.. I reported him to eBay and the transaction got cancelled and his money refunded

eBay sucks but its the only place you can find vintage mac stuff.. Otherwise its a 2 hour drive to ohio for me to get stuff

Everybody has excuses for everything, I was just making a comment on what the seller was probably thinking (low feedback bidder, not 100% positive).

As far as traveling 2 hours to get macs, well there are tons of macs in Michigan, no reason to hit Ohio (unless the locals don't like dealing with you either).

Not much around my neck of the woods.. Genesee and Saginaw County is pretty much a dry area.. I found a nice electronics recycler in ohio thats good priced, and I can hit it when I visit my family in the detroit area..

Detroit seems to have quite a few Macs, there is also a seller in the area dumping Quicksilers and MDD machines pretty cheap (on LEMswap).

Yeah, I'm looking forward to that myself.

I believe thats Richard Martin From Ann Arbor.. Ive sent alot of people to him.. His prices are reasonable and I hear nothing but great things about him. U of M Surplus used to be pretty good, I snagged a Dayna E/Z there once for 2 dollars.. Lately its gotten really crappy, Prices through the roof.. MSU Surplus in lansing was decent for a while too.. Havent been in a few years..
