They are surprisingly durable machines, particularly the ones that went through the Apple refurbishing program to fix the power jack, etc. One thing - years ago, I purchased after…

I have a Sonnet G3 PCI card that i removed from my 8500. Could i use that card in my Performa 6360 ? Click to expand... The Performa doesn't have a CPU slot. In order to upgrad…

I just picked up a PowerBook 5300cs off of eBay. It just arrived today along with the manual. It is in near perfect condition and it is still running 7.5.2 and it had img files of …

I can make one, but have no idea where to upload it.

Do the ATI OS 9 drivers properly support the 9700? I thought the 9200 (RV250) was the last card officially supported by ATI for OS 9, but I would be delighted to be wrong. Click…

As far as I know Macs never got the 9700 and the ones flashed were flashed with modded 9800 ROMs. Macs did get the 9600 but it did not go well with OS 9 either.

the fact that its been taken out of the box means that its no longer worth as much as it would have been NIB Click to expand... I don't think it would matter, or affect the pri…

There's a bid on it now at $130 + 45 ship, so looks like he's going to get his price...wow.

The video card arrived today. It turns out to be a PrecisionColor Pro 24XK. http://lowendmac.com/video/radiuspro24xk.html It's not bad, not the fastest nubus accelerator or the h…

which Apple already did with Mac OS X Click to expand... You know that´s not true Keith Stattenfield and his team did a lot of work at OS 9 already, until Steve Jobs forced …

I don't know if it is "properly" supported, but it works for me. All resolutions and color depths are available, and 2D seems pretty fast. I don't run 3D games, so I can't say whet…

I am seeing more and more barebones LCDs on eBay that include the D/A board (the expensive part.) Many are 640x480. You'd have to build your own enclosure for it. They're also a…

I disagree. You don't need to constantly upgrade a machine to have a longer useful lifespan Click to expand... well the examples you gave for what is still working for you is a…

I would not switch to a Mac mini:- slower, more expensive hard drive and more expensive optical drive (if you ever want to replace it) - only one HD and one optical drive - non-u…

Sounds like it was a slightly used/upgraded system and the seller found a mint box to stuff it in. If I was going to flip a shrinkwrapped item I would not open it.

Yes, shame he opened it to take the photos, but I guess he felt he had to, to post it. I would have just used a stock 1400 photo, I guess. Interesting that there's a wireless card…

Ahh I wish it was cheaper and shipped to Canada. I'd love to get my hands on the complete unit. I have a few 1400s but none came with any of the original packaging...just the com…

Yep, you're right - no matter what you do, Mac OS 9 and below simply cannot address any more than 1.5GB of RAM, its a limitation built into the OS, and short of rewriting the Mac O…

I have the exact same machine as that (1400c/166), and mine came new in box as well. Of course though, that was back in December 1997, when PowerBook 1400s were still being manufa…

16 Meg 30-pin SIMMs are still listed at OWC (Item # OWC30PS16MB) for $9.97. If you need 'em, grab 'em while they're available and max out that SE30 or Q950.

I presume the 1.5GB RAM limit in OS9 is why my Sawtooth (AGP graphics G4) with 2GB RAM installed shows Built-in Memory 1.99GB; VM Off; Largest Unused Block 1.45GB; and MacOS using …
