Is it possible to use an external Jaz drive with System 6? Thanks, agg23

What type of model? Slotloader or Trayloader? This makes a huge difference. Technically this should be the price for these iMacs, but their price is so low because they are commodi…

Sure it can! :rambo:

I bought a 6 or 700mhz imac for 20 or so bucks with hd/etc... I'd be firm with an offer of 30 since after all it is 10 bucks more than they are saying the recyclers would give them…

It's going to be given to a friend as an upgrade to an original bondi iMac which I gave him a few years back. He doesn't know that he's getting it though. It's sort of a late-Chris…

Seems a bit steep to me, unless it's in museum condition. The real question is: is it worth it to you? If the $50 won't lead to starvation and the iMac is something you'd get any u…

The campus PC repair shop has a "scrap pile" of old machines, mostly PCs, which are destined for the recycler. In the past year, I have purchased a desktop G3 and a 20" Apple Color…

That's a pretty nice 'Book. I think you'll like it.

I just bought one of these off of another member From what I gather, it's got an Ethernet port, CD-ROM, Zip Drive, Maybe a battery, Active-Matrix screen, 180Mhz CPU, 144MB RAM (Ra…

i got a mac se at a garage sale a little while back, and it was working fine. then one day, i powered it on and it only boots to a [?] . i put in the system floppy, and it booted…

Yeah, I tried that, too. The WaveLAN card can be sort-of forced to fit in a clamshell iBook; and fits with some fiddling in a gumdrop iMac, but not in a PowerMac.

Orinoco Wavelan out of a dead APBS Click to expand... I tried the same in my sawtooth and MDD - one problem you'll consistently run into is the fact that the black plastic anten…

So the HD in the Cube fell over and died, forcing me to upgrade to my new silver tower of G4 awesome. I picked up a 200GB Seagate HD from a friend, made three partitions (X, 9 and…

And among the free stuff I got with, there is three Duo main batteries, a 1xx battery (apparently all dead) Click to expand... Which version of the Duo batteries (i.e., Type I,…

Nice to see that you got your PB100 up and running - nice little machines and so easy to pull apart. I had a similar issue with a PB100 - exactly the same distribution of marks bu…

As I suspect you know, the colour PowerBook Duo screens where marginally thicker than those found on the greyscale models, and so a replacement lid for the original DuoDock was ava…

And as a humorous sidenote, note to self:Unlike what you read everywhere on the web, you *can* put a 2300c in an original DuoDock, and it works just fine. You only need to push a l…

Wow, beachycove, what a complete answer! Thanks a lot to both of you. Actually last night I took some time to test those babies, and it seems like it's Christmas all over again! …

That is a step I plan to try down the road. Right now I plan to try Disk Warrior as it can 'see' the drive but not access it. I ran Disk Utility - First Aid but was stopped by an…

. . . maybe It was murdered by a tootsie roll slinger in the cubicle wars? :scrambled:

I've noticed that when those particular iBook's have a failing hard drive, it's hard to determine, because the clunks are so random, it's not as consecutive as they usually are in …

Congratulations on a very complete Duo starter kit there! I don't think there is much I can add that beachycove hasn't already covered. Except to say that out there somewhere on …

Try smacking the mini and hard drive. It worked for me!
