Is the ROM card by the speaker? If the ROM is soldered to the board, is it by the batteries? Why does it have two batteries? I am going by 'fuzzy' pictures, so it is hard to tel…

I can't tell from the picture. It could be. I think I saw in one of those articles that a SCSI card would be supported on the Daystar special bus. Click to expand... Looks l…

Here's what it would look like animated:

I admit that I do not own a Mac Classic. Intrigued by the command+option+o+x bootable ROM ability, I peeked inside this ROM. I found this by importing the ROM as a fairly tall ra…

Glad I bought the 7800GT for my BTO quad then.

Also, just missed out on a Lombard that went for 21 pounds (I bid 20). I think it was a Lombard, I spent hours looking at pics and specs trying to find out. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/w…

Bronze colored keyboard and a white Apple at the top of the LCD. Definitely Lombard. Click to expand... Reckon so, that's what I went on to identify it. Never mind, it's gone n…

[edit - oops question posted to wrong thread] To save going over the same ground again, here are previous '060 and Coldfire discussions: viewtopic.php?p=106530#p106530 abo…

Browsing on the 1400 when connecting with an Ethernet card via the PC Card slot is always going to be slow, because it is a 16 bit card cage. I know there is an internal ethernet …

If possible, I'd go for a regular AirPort card and skip the USB dongle. Airport works effortlessly and at least here in the States, they have gotten really cheap over the past yea…

led acid batteries are usually not that picky, but its best to see what the one inside of it is marked as and try to match it up best you can

In the consumer market, the LC III was sold as the Performa 450. It's identical except for the sticker on the front of the case, and some accessories that came bundled with it. L…

The trouble with that however is that the required circuitry which adapts the keyboard to run on the ADB bus is built into the logic board. The only hope that you might have is if …

I can confirm that the LCIII definitely does support 24 bit mode, in fact when an LCIII has a flat PRAM battery, or no PRAM battery, it boots up in 24 bit mode by default. And it d…

If anybody gets around to mapping the key matrix and ribbon cable, I would be interested. If I am not mistaken, Apple still used ADB protocol in old Duos and PowerBooks, so I would…

For that Apple IIe card keep in mind IIRC you need to run that in 24-bit mode. 32-bit mode won't work. So the IIe card in a LC III may not work since I"m not sure you can run t…

I love my PB1400. IMO it is only practical for browsing text-based stuff. It's like my old Performa 6200cd on the web - it was barely acceptable in the late 90s when the net was mo…

For example, this one could be OK? http://search.digikey.com/scripts/DkSearch/dksus.dll?Detail&name=522-1002-ND

It is crazy all this nontroversy about the 4600 Ti card. Yes, it is big. But you can see in the pictures that he has PCI fan on the other side of it anyway. I have this same card a…

Hi all - I have been away for a couple of years, but am back at my old Mac antics. Last week I bought what looks like the fastest PowerBook, a 1GHz Titanium. These machines appear…

Yes, both of my LC III's were from a school. I think the guy I got them from had a trailer full of them. LC's and the AIO LC models must have been very popular with schools and th…

They were pretty popular in schools. I haven't looked for any recently, but schools were littered with them (and LC II's) in the 90's.

The LCIII wasn't quite as common as the LCII, for one thing it cost a bit more than the LCII, but I'd think it was still a bit common. My Dad bought an LCIII back in 1993, and I re…
