Except that the network challenged Macs are also often SCSI challenged.

It looks good....but it'd be virtually impossible to get it to work on a Mac, unless you created a specialised version. As for prices..... The FDD Emulators go from approxim…

Down to the last one as of this posting

a fast G4 upgrade Click to expand... Yeah, good luck with that. I've been trying to find a good price on one of these upgrades for months, with no luck at all. They regularly f…

Anybody have any experience with these FDD emulators? Seems like the ideal solution for vintage, networked challenged compact Macs. Manage your disk images on OS X, copy them to a …

My Seele being thus comforted, I shall no longer be tempted to sell the thing.

Whenever I'm taking out screws, I lay them down on a piece of paper in roughly the arrangement they came out, and write and draw around them to make things clearer where they go ba…

Gott im Himmel! It's not worth real money, is it? And mine looks almost new. Click to expand... That seller's pricing policy has attracted comment before. In the new-look comm…

Well I got it to boot once... ...I had a Sonnet Crescendo G3 in there that seemed to be one cause of the problem. I also had to switch between the 2 SCSI connectors on the Logic B…

The II and IIfx do need a working battery. In these old machines, the battery actually closes a relay in the power supply to turn 'em on. A Kensington or other fan will do a lot t…

That Sawtooth is a good solid box. Most of them can be OC'd to 550MHz or more, and with a fast G4 upgrade and a video card upgrade, will do 720p HD video. Check to see which versio…

Does it work with standard HFS or do I need a dedicated "Plus" scsi drive formatted differently? Click to expand... Depends on the drive and the utility that was used to format…

using some of the lower System versions (say, System 3, with which it shipped, I gather) with an external scsi hard drive? Does it work with standard HFS Click to expand... Sin…

I was going to mention the Plus's lack of internal termination, but LCGuy beat me to it. Try to use a short SCSI cable to the first external device and made sure that the device n…

If you're going to use the hard drive with the Plus exclusively, you're best to format it with an interleave of 3:1, which you can do in Hard Disk Toolkit, or I'd imagine most 3rd …

The donor has found the keyboard, which I can collect tomorrow. There is ein Gott im Himmel, evidently.

As reported over on Conquests, I just have acquired my oldest Macintosh yet, a nice-looking Plus. Having (ahem) a plethora of peripherals in the perimeter of the Plus, I think I m…

hard drive: free, 256mb of memory: free, receiving a free computer for setting up a computer for some one: priceless

well today i got a new computer.....its a G4 "SawTooth"!!!!! here are the specs: 450mhz G4 768mb of ram 18gb hd and it will soon be running 9.2.2 or mac os x server :beige:

The very first time I took apart an iBook (also to replace the hard drive) and put it back together, I put one of the long hex screws in the middle, instead of the short one. Cl…

I got it put back together. Only 3 extra screws. That's pretty good for me. :I :I :I :I :I :I :I :I Click to expand... Well done! I had 4 left over after replacing the…

I know, I know, I'm going to hell. But it works. It's also non-permanent, if I have to go in later and fix it for real.
