So I pulled the iMac to bits today and did some rummaging around inside, and put in the 80GB drive from my tray loader, as well as a fresh PRAM battery.
I haven't actually gone in…
512ke ...model number on those is M0001E, so there is a way to distinguish them from M0001W 512k machines.

Of course there is. We've all said as much in rece…
Hey, I saw something about the 512ke today that said the model number on those is M0001E, so there is a way to distinguish them from M0001W 512k machines.

That noise is a dying capacitor tied to the speaker, same noise I heard on a used unit that died (same board I recapped and works fine I have as a spare). Asuming nothing else is w…

Before you leave him negative feedback, I'd try and get onto him first, yes the board was sold "as-is", but you were told that it is a sealed, brand new part, and it is not.
Austin's Goodwill Compter Works is excellent, and there are several other computer recycle / resale operations, as you'd expect in a university town.

Stop using that word "RARE"! :beige:
My recommendation is not to use that RAM upgrade board. It looks like the PSU is the intact original first generation as well. It still has…
I must be the unluckiest guy when it comes to LCs.
Man did I get burned on this motherboard. It was not new. It was not sealed. It does not work. >
Looks like it…

I like the trackball better, too. Apple was inconsistent in where they silk screened the model number. 210s-270s usually had it on the bottom of the LCD panel, 280s & 2300s…
Your Mac shows 512K because it has the original 64K ROMs most likely. You actually have 1.5MB of RAM installed, it looks like. The mobo RAM chips have probably been replaced upgrad…
Apple never really wanted to release the PowerDuo, but they'd promised all Duo owners a PPC upgrade path. I've got a lot of Duo parts, some of the, presumably, upgrade decks have s…
Someone has obviously popped the top plastics from the earlier series on it, either because the 2300c's plastics were bad, the trackpad broken, or because the whole PowerBook track…

My 8600/300s (two) are a bit odd in that they will refuse to reboot to the order of the three finger salute. You have to manually shut down if it crashes by pressing the green powe…

I go to the Salvation Army store to look for computers. I haven't found anything interesting enough to buy yet, but I still look. Goodwill never has computers in the stores but the…

Where do you get that 512Ke discontinued date?
It all depends on which schools you're talking about. Jobs made education sales a priority, especially after the first 6 months when…
They're owned by the city/regional councils, who run the garbage tips. They're actually at the garbage tip.
Anyway, that Goodwill sounds great...you'd never see anything like that…
I was going to guess that a "tip shop" was like a thrift store, but this sounds a bit different. Are they actually owned by the garbage companies?
As far as Goodwill, if you want …

jt: a "tip shop" is a shop at the garbage tip (or dump) where they sell stuff that they think is saleable. Things like electrical items, books, CDs/DVDs/videos/cassettes, furniture…
