Just a note man, if you don't have any prior experience to physical hardware hacking, it wouldn't be a good idea. Click to expand... For 6 bucks, I would buy one off eBay. I ca…

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…

Pictures, Pictures, PICTURES!

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…

OK, Well I don't have an Oscilloscope... Has anyone ever done this? I am not going to take the Mac Apart. Would a Semi-Dead ADB Mouse work? Does anyone have instructions for a part…

The 6100 requires a matched pair of RAM SIMMs

VideoSpigot for $16 shipped on eBay (BIN). That's not such a good deal, right? :-/ Click to expand... 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 dunno, I bet grape, lime and tangerine are less common. We have a strawberry 333 here as well.

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…

Definitely go back and move some wood. I would scavenge around in the the rusted Macs for parts, although if they got moist, then don't bother. Click to expand... They look lik…

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…

I was considering that, but I was worried that brake fluid would damage the "Macintosh IIci" text.

DOT 3-type automobile brake fluid works good as a plastic-safe paint stripper. DOT 4 is silicone-based and doesn't work.

I think this is one of the more uncommon colours from the flavour era. Don't quote me on that though. Great find!

Yesterday I received an email regarding a large amount of macs free. Today I went out to see what I could pick up. Well this place was quite a sight. Front of the house loaded w…
