I just realized this is my first post. I've been following the forums for a couple years now. My latest acquisitions are for my fairly stock Colour Classic. Whe…
While browsing the local Craigslists this weekend, I happened upon an SE/30 that someone was ready to throw out: Free for the taking! I promptly picked it up, b…
When it comes to Powerbooks and System Enablers, what exactly does the System Enabler do? If I put a Powerbook 550c processor into a 540c, would I need to run t…
Sorry for bad photos. LC III was in storage for about 15 years, and yes it had the darned Maxell battery installed, which went bad and sprayed all the toxic gut…
I just got my two boards back from Uni today (thx). I got a SE/30 and CC recapped. Now I finally have my SE/30 working without the weird SCSI problems it's had …
So does anyone know at what speed a single G3 begins to outperform the dual 604e's on this card?
I have an Apple IIe I'm prepping to sell. It has the failed Retr0Brite on it, so I'm going to go ahead and prime it, then give it a light paint of Pantone 453. …
Well the 80 pin drive I bought is not compatible. But I think I may have another option. A friend has a bunch of old 68pin SCSI stuff, in it is a IDC 50pin male…

Having been asked on Google+ for a list of the capacitors I used for my recap, I thought it would be useful to share it here too. Here is a Mouser cart for the …
I see this pop up every now and then, but is there a dual PDS adapter so you can have bot the Turbo 040 and a cache card?
Maybe this should go in the PCI Powermacs section, and if so move it there, but this is about a G3 CPU upgrade so maybe this fits. I've got a 9600/200 and I'm t…
I'm pretty sure this is the correct subforum to post this in-- I need to track down the Mac OS 9 Audio Update version 1.3, in probably the worst way. I have no …
This was a high end card back in the day that went toe to toe against Number Nine's Imagine 128 for Mac. It wasn't as good as an ATi Rage for gaming, since it o…
Hi all I need to get a new PSU for my Performa 475 (or, at least, I suspect that I do). I have an LCIII. Are the PSUs between the two interchangeable? The value…
Has anyone here done the hacks to get later versions of mac os to run ppc upgraded 68ks. If so what was thw performance like?
With help with from Uniserver, I decided to recap my SE/30 PSU as he determined and evidence shows that is where the Humongus Fish Smell is coming from. And on …
Just as the title says. What's a reasonable price for a HyperDrive 20? Just wondering. I know some of you have gotten really lucky with some $50 machines. Thank…
I just thought I'd start a post detailing a very cheap PRAM battery modification I've done to my Macintosh SE, using a CR2032 battery. This is an original, 800K…
With the Mac Plus I got external Microtech HD enclouser with Maxtor drive, I deleted the partion and reinstalled the drive with modified HD SC Setup 7.3.5 so it…
Hello! This is my first post, so forgive me if I'm in the wrong place etc. Having grown up with the classics - the first computer I ever used was a Plus - I've …
