You can see in the 2nd photo there is an extra port on the back, looks like parallel/SCSI/something? Not too familiar with these. He thought the memory had been upgraded as well, b…

ill probably slice the circuti trace of pin 3 and 11 away on the geforce the video card is easy to replace ( and i have 4 others ) its not so easy to fish out tiny sl…

Just tried it, the link seems to work ok , here it is, http://themacelite.wikidot.com/ . Good luck and it does make sense since the PC equivalents are so much cheaper.

they were offline when i searched a few hours ago they arent any more QS meet geforce fx 5200 ..play nice

Do a search online for MacElite, you will find all you need to know.

Not bad at all (ps thats a SCSI port)

Just finished cleaning off my latest find: An original Mac, upgraded a bit. This is my first pre-90's Macintosh, and I'm quite happy! Paid $40 for it, though it doesn't come with a…

I have made a boot disk with a minimal system and RamDisk+. I startup from the floppy and run it from the RAM disk. The only thing is the battery will not show though it did (som…

Recieved the Airport compatible PCI card and it works great!!! it's nice to have the wireless now... So my upgrading is done on this... it as far as it will go... but it's a very…

I guess it depends on what you get into. Somebody who doesn't much like compacts won't think a conquest of a dozen SE/30's is a big deal while others would drool over it. Some peop…

Could a bad PRAM be killing it?

For me, a mini-epic would be scoring a sealed box of 10 Apple-brand 400K floppy disks with the Picasso artwork, because they seldom come up for sale. Click to expand... That wo…

Yeah I agree. Yes Nico it was you. I do think a Mac Plus is epic because I don't have a working Compact (yet-- A 512k is on its way to me ) But I found a keyboard and mouse in …

OK, Well you know the IIcis I liberated? All of the Floppies that came with it (Except one- Macintosh Basics) Don't have that extra hole on the side. I have SUM (Symantec Utilit…

Which is why I think you can't really categorize conquests into distinct awesomeness-levels. Click to expand... For other people, that is. For yourself, then yes. I have defini…

LOL, that would've been me you're talking about. I guess the fact you bring this point up already proves that this is a very subjective thing. In my view, the Plus is a pretty com…

It's the ratio of how desirable/rare the item(s) were, compared to how much money was dispensed, multiplied by the total number of items received.

So I've been thinking. What is an EPIC OMG ELEVENTY Conquest, and what is a small conquest. How do we categorize these conquests? I read a thread about a Mac Plus conquest with …

It may not be quite the only alternative. 1. You could presumably run it from an external SCSI hard drive. 2. You might, with a little ingenuity, manage to configure and run it t…

Is there some way that I can run my Powerbook 540c without a HD? All three of my scsi drives will not work, so the only alternative I have is running off a floppy. Does anyone kn…

Thanks you all. I know a Mac Plus isn't the most remarkable of conquests, but I thought it'd be fun to document it like this for a change. And I came to the conclusion that I shou…

recently i got my hands on a 2001 QS 733 with a vile ati rage 128 pro card with a piddly 16 mb ram and the rage 128 just decided to die ...typical as it happens i…

And then after reaching that number, the counter overflows and goes back to zero automatically. It's the same problem the Unix timestamp will face in 2038 on 32-bit computers.

Formatting a high-density 1.44M floppy as a single- or double-density 400k/800k floppy works well enough, but you won't be able to reformat it back to 1.44M if you ever need to. Yo…
