I have a 400MHz iMac (in Indigo) and run OS 9.1 on it. Of course, I don't do any web surfing on it, and am content to use it with iMovie 2 (got it mainly to do smaller video jobs a…

You'll need an Apple II to read the 5.25" diskette. The drive you have will plug into the back of the IIc, IIc+, and IIGS, and will work on a II, II+, or IIe with the proper floppy…

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…

I forgot another telltale sign--the sound of the floppy drive. Listen to the drives in the two videos and you'll hear a HUGE difference between the 400K and 800K drive.

Graphic Converter has a handy "Save for web..." menu item under File. It opens a dialog where you can resize, set the image format, and various other parameters.

A very nice score there tyrannis. The last and best of the Duos - upgraded with the superior pointing technology!

Pictures?

Well scored there LCGuy! Getting the machine over 512MB will make a big difference in OS X - but it should still run adequately. And they make great DVD players, especially with …

Is it not possible to confirm what the machine is what based on the boot dialog? If you want to confirm if a given compact Mac is an original 128k or 512k with 64k ROMs versus a 5…

I have 10.2.8 on my 700mhz Snow model and the speed is good but the lack of support for newer software keeps me from using it much. I only have 256mb in it, so until I can scrape u…

Bolle You probably have to find any incompatible extensions and control panels and remove or replace them.

That's not exactly what Scott wrote: The only surefire ways to know if it's enhanced (originally or not) are to look at the serial number (anything made in April 1986 or lat…

Here's where I am: I have the IIe running; I can get to the IIe profile page. I disassembled and cleaned the Apple 5.25" drive including the read head an re-assembled it. The LCIII…

From just the description it sounds to me like RAM for a Powerbook 1400 where you can stack RAM for higher capacities.

In a box labelled "old PowerBook RAM" that I recently obtained, I have a variety of small Wallstreet RAM chips, a 32MB Duo chip, and some other bits and pieces, all of which I can …

Really? I was thinking Tiger would run fairly alright...compared to the tray loader, the exact same Panther install runs a lot faster on the slot load. You know, its funny...back …

And with 512MB of RAM, I should even be able to run Tiger fairly decently on here. Click to expand... Tiger is slow(Just as slow as Panther) even on my 600MHz iMac w/ 512MB and…

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…

i did run 9 on my 650 with apple 66mhz 601 card... its just as simple as getting 8.5 and 8.6 to work. it was a bit crashy tho but did run.

Good thing I just bought a bunch of PRAM batteries then. So many projects, so little time and bench space. |)

Scott Baret said there are no distinguishing markings other than the build date encoded in the serial number.

512ke ...model number on those is M0001E, so there is a way to distinguish them from M0001W 512k machines. Click to expand... Of course there is. We've all said as much in rece…

They could end up like a C64 then, many people want one but so many were made that they are worth little.

Now for the question. Who has a copy of the Sonnet Presto PPC install disk? That seems like a logical place to go first.

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.
