Congrats! I like the 9500 tower just because it's slimmer but wow do I prefer working on the 9600s. The 9500s are just vile, vile machines. Pretty sure I have scars from a few!

I have been looking for a 6 slot PCI Powermac for what seems like years now (they are too pricey to ship usually) and yesterday I snagged 2 of them from a local recycler. One unit …

I had to look em up: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iomega_Bernoulli_Box Like an early zip disk pretty much.

It was one of the removable storage systems that were all the rage at the time. Back around 1993 there were two main competitors: SyQuest, with their 44 and 88MB disks and drives, …

Yeah, I REALLY don't want to read his files. I'll probably just wipe the HDs With the installers that came with them. Also, Whats a Bernoulli Drive?

Wow, nice. :O I'm still struggling to get my Macintosh IIci motherboard working lolz.

Nice score. Just please, whatever you do, make sure you do end up erasing his old files, without reading them. There's no need to give us vintage Mac enthusiasts a bad name (and…

Soon, I will test them each for one day as my computer, pitting them to massive stresses. Which one that works properly, gets chosen as top Nubus PPC from the last 2 I have not got…

Whats wrong with it? Those are actually easy to open unlike a the bloody eMac...

Hey guys! A guy on Freecycle is shipping this to me. -- 2 Mac IIci's -- both have the motherboards, cache card, hard drive, internal 3.5" drive ... but I moved all the RAM, the b…

Darn, I didn't think of that. It worked! Although I don't remember having to use an enabler in the past. :-/

To run 7.1 on an LC III you need a system enabler that's probably not on the installer disk but *is* on the disk tools disk. http://support.apple.com/kb/TA47341?viewlocale=en_US

After my LC III sat unused for a few months, which had/has bad caps. So I removed the ROM's and washed the board. I probably screwed something up by putting the ROM's in the wrong …

Give it a week. My gigabit G4 did that and it's currently running software update for some iLife 06 apps I just installed.

G'day Bunsen, Dunno about legendary, but you do get the odd good score. And I don't just mean Mac hardware. Nah, it's not run by Outlook but I think if it was, the prices would …

Nice one. Good luck with the resurrection. I've heard the Frankston tip shop is a bit legendary. Is it run by Outlook Environmental, like the one in Reservoir?

What's wrong with it? Do you know? } Is it plugged in? Does your house have power? :lol:

Latest find, just today. At the Frankston Tip Shop And the more I saw of it, the more excited I got. Price was right. $5 Sapphire slotloader, firewire ports, VGA out. Looked …

I don't know if it's a case of too many contestants or too few voters, but we seem to have ended up with no less than five RetroChallengers in the top three slots! Without further …

My TAM arrived today - was quicker than I thought it'd be! First thing I did when I pulled it out of the box was switch over the voltage on the base unit, set it up then took an i…

It was very common to see Lisa 2s sold with an external 5MB ProFile instead of an internal drive. As I recall Apple marketed the Lisa 2 in three configurations: base, 5MB external,…

I tried equill's configuration (x4 1 MB in the first bank, x4 2 MB in the second) but with no change. I will try the Apple Color Plus '14 next since I think Macintosh IIcis will w…

… The IIci uses DRAM for video and maps it to Bank A. Contrary to other Macintosh models, always install the lowest density SIMMs in Bank A for best performance. Click to expand…

Its a shame I let the RAM I had go along with the IIci board I sold a little while back.

6100 / 1mb cache module Click to expand... You can't use motherboard cache if you have a G3 fitted. Besides, they have cache on them.
