I think of the Lombard as being the ultimate 'book suitable for use with old and new Macs - the inclusion of SCSI a big plus. I'm pretty sure the G4 upgrades are for Pismos only B…

Yeah. After looking at the specs on Lowendmac, I'm wondering how well I scored here. only one PC Card slot, and no ADB port. Although the 333 MHz Lombard has a faster clock…

Nice score B! Our luck seems to be high this week, I scored a PB Ti 867 = $0. Given to me as "dead motherboard", two minutes later with my iBook adapter = 100% working Mac. It's…

Just picked up a Lombard 333 Powerbook and a Tangerine iBook 300 = $0. The Lombard has 128MB/4G/CD -no DVD decoder- and the iBook 64MB/6G. Both in perfect working order. I've gi…

Duo Keyboards are notoriously crap. I've owned 3 Duo's (270, 280, 2300) and the keyboards were crap on all of them. My 2300, the only Duo I still have, has the wrist rest from an …

Hi Bunsen, Hey Macd: what did "a little persistence" consist of? Just lots of pounding, or the whole strip down and clean routine? Click to expand... A bit of both. Mo…

Bottom case and hard drive from a 280Logic board from a 230 keyboard and display from a 210 Click to expand... Give my creation .... LIFE!!! {insert thunder crack} Hey Macd: …

Sorry to hear about your bad experience. ...and the keyboard is the worst example of a Duo I've ever used. It's never a good thing when one must pound or continually press t…

With the purchase of this curiosity, I feel that it may be time to re-think the whole eBay thing. This machine was advertised as a Duo 280. I figured cool, I don't have one of tho…

Wow.... Wanna give one now? No, really, I'll come get it

Snagged a Q950 this morning for free, 90MB RAM, 3 HDs but the largest is only 1GB. The unit is in very good condition. Also snagged a Supermac GDM-1950 STD 9790 Trinitron 19" Colo…

Its been working fine for a few days now. I don't know what happened.

A "local" guy (meaning: within 24 hours drive, and in the same country...) has made me an offer I can't refuse for my non-working A4000. So I have a couple $ to spend upgrading my…

The green screen is fairly logical, as Amiga's won't start without ChipRAM The 4000 doesn't need a battery to work, mine's never had one (I got the guy I bought it off to remov…

Grumble. No luck getting any life out of this thing (despite all the helpful guys here and on other forums). She's parts I'm afraid. I'll just have to stick with my 1200 for the ti…

damn thats a big one

Well done for the Mac liberation. I don't live in the US tho so Lc 580 and Lc 575 are quite rare here [:O] ]'>

There's been a recount. We are now at over 35 Macs. Of the 30 I have, here's the breakdown: 5260/120 - 10 5500/225 - 3 LC 580 - 9 5200/75 LC - 4 LC 575 - 3 5400/120 - 1

Dangit, I'd love to take that IIe off your hands for you.

Thank you for being a hero!

Ooo, a 575. Great donor if you have a CC sitting about. My uni had a lab of CCs back in the day. I wish I'd stayed in touch with people there...I wonder if they had an auction w…

One of the 5200s has the TV input, tested it earlier. Works pretty well! A few have A/V in and/or out, some have ethernet. It's a good variety. Nothing was wiped, so they have all …

I always wanted a 5500. They make great TVs. I even have the TV tuner kit for them in my storage. I don't live in the US tho so I can't have yours

i would be killed for that, but thts just awesome!

Holy liberation batman! While I would be killed instantly by the SO for doing something like that, I must congratulate you. Very nice. /golf clap
