I'd either hang onto it or sell it, definitely don't recycle it...I don't think StarMax's are all that common (well at least they're not here in Australia anyway, none of the clone…

Don't the Sonnet upgrades automatically increase in speed depending on the bus speed? The 7600/120 has a 40 MHz bus, while the 7600/132 has a 44 MHz bus, so I think the upgrade is…

So you have the tower version... Nice. Yes, it's nice to have the ability to use standard, easy to find drives yet still have access to SCSI stuff (like my DDS tape drive). It'll …

603e processor is soldered to the logic board. It is a very odd beast, something like a 4400, but with five PCI slots (in a riser card), an SVGA port, both ADB and PS/2 keyboard c…

Lucky you.

Do these use CPU cards or are they soldered to the motherboard?

I have one I found in the trash in NYC in the late 1990s. I installed NetBSD on it and now it does NAT / IPv6 tunneling / DNS / NFS / NTP stratum 1 time / DDS-3 tape backups and ot…

When I first bought them, they were around $150. For a while they weren't available for less than $200, but it seems the price is a little more reasonable now, back to what I paid:…

I've always wanted a Starmax.

Ought I to keep the StarMax 3000/200 clone I recently acquired, or offer it up to the recycling gods? Alternatively, is there anyone here who wants it for a clone collection? It's…

The base reference is a 5400 RPM 300 gig Hitachi HTS54323 2.5" SATA drive connected via an Acard ARS-2000SU SATA to UltraSCSI adapter / case. Click to expand... Hello! That's e…

I have two LCIIIs, none of them have any wires or anything whatsoever, however they are fairly late model LCIIIs, both manual-inject models, and both with October 1993 build dates.

All I can find is a black stamp that probably reads "9B", a bar code and serial number of sorts "*B13020Q5EN6B* SINGAPORE VAIL", and printed on the logic board PCB "APPLE COMPUTER …

Looking at your pic, it seems clear that the vent holes are not at the highest part of the case, when the Mac is mounted at that angle. Would propping it forward such that the vent…

Check the Developer Notes for each machine, they all have a rough logic diagram, listing the interconnections between the various ASICS, the CPU, what is connected to the Fast and …

I don't even think you can - I don't think the Apple PC 5.25" drive has a port for daisy chaining, does it? Click to expand... The Mac II has lots of NuBus slots, so I was talk…

I got a used G3/375 Sonnet upgrade a few days ago and put it in my 7600/132 today and system profiler is reporting a G3 at 417mhz! I didn't know these could be overclocked.

Yep, you're correct. The max number of drives you can get on a Mac is three. Two internal (SE only?) and one external. Click to expand... Pardon my vague memory, but does any…

You forgot the part about how a disgruntled Steve Jobs formed a rogue startup called NeXT that created the OS that blew both Windows and Mac OS away. What's even more amazing is t…

we used to take 409 and pour it in a new spray bottle with about 25% rubbing alcohol in it back when I worked at a compaq refurb house ... anyway kills the foaming action that happ…

If you really wanted to go nuts, you could go for a Macintosh LC with two internal floppies, plus an Apple IIe card connected to two external floppies... But I think the best you …

I don't even think you can - I don't think the Apple PC 5.25" drive has a port for daisy chaining, does it?

Sounds good to me. Thanks for your input.

AFAIK, they've been a certified Apple reseller since the beginning.
