Here is a really nice Macintosh LC II with max RAM/VRAM and a Sonnet Presto Plus w/ethernet and FPU. Fair price for what you're getting too.

Yep, just water from the basement drain backing up (ground water from around the house).
I think it was under water less than 10 hours - not sure since I wasn't home when it happe…

Apple is semi unique in the fact that they do control their own market (in a royal pita 1980's way) but I often wonder about "the man" and his choices
Imagine a world in which app…
I'm curious about this Silenx fan. I've seen SEs with various fans (DC Pico Ace, Elina Fan, the notorious "rat cage") but have never seen one of these in a stock SE. Of those three…

Just water from the storm drain backing up? How long was it under water? Can you take a picture?
I would gut it and wash it to get rid of anything the water carried and then dry i…
I remember watching the video of Steve Jobs saying that they had to eliminate all the clones to get back to business.
But that hasn't stopped me :0
I Hackintoshed my MSI Wind.
If it was flood-water, chances are that the water wasn't clean. That means trouble.
I would suggest pulling the whole thing apart. Pull out the socketed chips too, just record w…
Yep, I kept my Mac II going great for years, temporarily had it on my basement floor and it flooded. Completely submerged the Mac II and likely some of the monitor as well. Cables …
I started the restoration of the Macintosh SE today. It had been sitting with its cover off for a week, and had been sitting for a week before that. Today I made my CRT discharge t…
For some reason I was under the impression the LC 2 also could do dual floppies. Anyway in that case I can see a LC 1 being interesting just for dual floppies and you should skip …
I am decent at soldering, but I would rather keep it original looking, but thanks for that info and I guess the LC III would be a better system to go for looking at them the only c…
Only problem is that in stock form, there was never a dual floppy version of the LCII, only the original LC. However, if you're good with soldering, the LCII does have solder pads …
I would let it be known you are looking for a LCII and see what turns up over time.
Both my LC3's were free ex school computers somebody hoarded and got rid of later. Most people …
For a good condition LCII with a working display, keyboard and mouse, you'd probably expect to pay about US$30 tops. I'd probably look for one thats in the best condition as possib…
Hey, the first mac I ever had was an apple iic it pains me that I do not know what happened to it as it came with that and about 200 floppys or so with tons of non pirated software…
