My Latest ...

lol and you got a prototype AIX disk…… man…

ANS 700: 200 MHz 604e, 512 MB RAM, dual PSU, CD-ROM, DAT, 2x HDD

EDIT: maybe someone can answer this but I read everywhere that AIX 4.1.5 is the last OS. He gave me an AIX 4.1.6 for ANS install disc. What's with that?

ClassicHasClass is the expert on the ANS and AIX running on it. I would shoot him a PM. He's friendly. If that is a proto-disk or unreleased version of AIX, he will probably turn cartwheels.

Oh, and what's the version number or checksum on your ANS ROM? There are several versions floating around, I think.

The front panel says ROM v1.1.22. I'll get a hold of CHC to chat about the AIX version.

Thanks!

Amazing !!!

If you remember, report back. I'm curious about that AIX version now.

Dylan,

Not a problem. Hope your kid is doing ok.

Cool on the other scores...

I almost missed this guy at the bottom of a box!

:b&w:

because mcdermd just buffed its rear with pledge and a rag, Now its all shinny.

I was able to pick up a few peripherals from a nice older guy today:

Someone needs a title of Senior Deputy Collector...

Have you been able to spot a spare LCII case? The HDD and FDD caddy is missing on mine, and I've got an LCII inside an LC case, which doesn't work.

Another thing I would take would be a mini-VGA to VGA adapter for the igloo project...

BTW, that prototype 500 is trick.

If the Portrait is DOA . . . [] ]'>

Then I'll fix it!

I need to go through my mess of video cables and see if I have the 13W3 cable for it.

I figured as much, is it your first? If you ever find a DOA specimen or a really fugly one you don't need, I need a case. [] ]'>

It is my first. I've narrowly missed a couple before and picked up a few Rafius Mono Pivots but this is the first Macintosh Portrait I've landed.

Great catch, but that first printer on the left, is not SilenType printer (1979).

I think you ment Apple Scribe Printer (1984).

Oh man, Apple II color monitor! :approve:

Ah yes! Thank you for the correction.

I thought there was a platinum-colored Apple II Color monitor there too but it was a Performa Plus Display:

Thanks to Cosmo, I went and picked up a free batch of 14 Plusses, 512ks and SEs with accessories. It felt like 2002 again.

Thanks Cosmo.

Seriously that is a healthy load of macs man.

Several ZFP boxen as well, NICE. WTDickens is that monitor with the chin-guard? :?:

Is the Portrait up and running yet?

I'm holding out on getting an Apple Portrait card with the 13w3 connection. There's one up on eBay now I've been eyeing. Then I need to find a good box to feature it with - the IIfx or maybe I'll find a IIci sometime soon.

The "chin guard" is the "Performa Plus" display - a cheap, shadow mask thing that Spindler unleashed on the world.

WOW Dylan, glad you were able to pick those up. They went in a good home for sure. Now you can build your own "wall-of-macs" when you get them working.

Those were advertised at retromaccast site yesterday.

I inspected the three 512k Macs from the lot. One is an unmolested 512k with original ROMs and 400k drive. One is an unmolested 512ke. The third is an original 512k but has been upgraded with an 800k drive, Plus ROMs, a 1.5 MB Dove MacSnap board (for a total of 2 MB) and a Dove MacSnap SCSI board. I noticed it had an unpopulated header for a 50-pin connection so I soldered one onto the SCSI card. It works fine but to use an internal drive, I'll still need to plumb power from the analog board.

Grabbed a freebie 6100 DOS Compatible



... and eagerly awaiting a 540c from uniserver. Add those to the nice 180c I got as a gift last week and it's pretty much one of the best kinds of Mac months.

sent out fedex tonight. you are getting (2) 540c

The nicest one worked fine last time a put it on the shelf.

well it still works/boots up, except the LCD only gives a all white screen. /w external monitor it displays all and works fine.

So this is why i threw in my other nicer powerbook 540c this one the Display works just as it should.

This one all is fine except the hinge is going, and you gotta give it a wrap on the side for the HD to start and boot the machine.

and the keyboard is missing its screws that hold it all the way down.

So I am pretty sure you will be able to take 2 and make one that does everything properly.

it still blows me away with this vintage mac stuff, you can shelf it fully working, come back and try it some odd amounts of time later,

and sure enough now you get a new surprise, something is (now) no longer working.

180c, nice! going to get one of those someday

I likes the DOS Compatible... got one of them in my Wall of Mac but yet to make use of it's DOS capabilities.

A 540c?!

I've been looking for one of those! And you got two! Nice find!!

Good luck with those, mcdermd!

I've got the 540c prototype too.
