Definitely try the PRAM battery. That thing may be storing the speed settings you choose in the software in the Mac's PRAM. If so, the setting would be lost without a PRAM batt…
JackHammer. Fast and Wide SCSI. Once you've got a network and fast video and maybe a CPU upgrade, the limiting factor in the IIci is the disk access.
The JackHammer (or the SE…
I like the idea of having one of those adapters, but the G3 cost $50 and the display wouldn't be much more. It just doesn't seem right to pay more for an adapter than you do for th…
eriously though, wood must be moved. Who knows what's trapped behind there, some potential gems. The Macs damaged by moisture, well it's surprising just how much they can withstand…

What kind of SCSI card was available for the G3 Power Mac? I think it was 68 pin, but I don't know whether it is an HD-68 or a VHDCI-68? I want to be sure before I buy an adapter. …

VideoSpigot for $16 shipped on eBay (BIN). That's not such a good deal, right? :-/

That's a great deal IMHO - if you want video input.
AFAIR, the only othe…
I think I remember hearing back in the day that Blueberry and Strawberry were the highest selling flavours, being trailed by Grape and Lime. Tangerine was the worst selling flavour…
I'd have a field day at that place... it's like the battleground of the 68k Macintosh Liberation Army troops, those that could be saved have been air lifted to safety and are now i…

The SE's ethernet card probably has the AUI connector and the regular rj45 connecter. Either connector will work to provide the same 10Mb/sec ethernet connectivity, so you won't ev…

Just try to take everything you can.
Also, the Macintosh LC 475 with no video most likely has a dead PRAM battery. Just turn it on, then quickly flip it off and on again.
