I've been "running out of room" for 5 years, and I continue to bring in 6 computers for every 1 that I sell.

My current recommendation is to contact Apple and elevate the issue to a supervisor. The supervisor will almost certainly give you a free repair. Capacitor replacement is no longe…

My mom probebly won't let me ("You don't have room...") Click to expand... Well make room for it goddamnit, its a 9500! Surely you've got something that you can get rid of?

OK, i'm up in my grandma's attic imaging all of the old mac floppys i found. here is what I found: Legions (4 disks) Word tales (5 Disks, missing disks 3 and 5) Pac In Time (2 D…

Any good old fashioned TV repair person could do it - you don't necessarily need someone who knows computers, you just need someone handy with a soldering iron and a good collectio…

This is my favorite PPC machine, hands down. I affectionately call mine weirdway. I even used it as a sever for a bit. NetBSD & Linux run like a charm [as does OS9 &amp…

Oh, and how do you get out the harddrive and stuff from it? If I can't keep the whole thing, I might as well strip it.

What is this on this 512k?Its in the second picture over the power button. Looks like SCSI to me. Click to expand... You got it! Since it doesn't appear to be a 512ke, (were t…

Yes that is a common SCSI upgrade to the 512K, designed to replace the battery cover. It required an upgrade to 128K ROMs and most likely has 800K drive upgrade as well. The Plus d…

I'm rather fond of the 9500, despite it's horrible case architecture. (Pretty on the outside, Evil on the inside)

Nice. But why would you probably not be taking it?

heat is actually the main issue with that setup, with the SE case being nearly hermetic, and the Mini's fan having to do all the job. Click to expand... I took another look at …

...and the PM9500/200 boots up to OS 9.1, with lots of expensave software!

And another interesting auction, It comes with dual HD 20s and an Extended beige (read: not platinum plus) keyboard http://cgi.ebay.com/Macintosh-512K-M0001W-Vintage-Computer-Har…

Some more thoughts about the airflow in a SE's case: I built my Macminitosh putting a Mac Mini inside a SE case. And heat is actually the main issue with that setup, with the SE ca…

I had one, nice machine. Heavy as all get out though. The power lead going to the drives stopped working, which basically made it useless unless I used another power supply. Gave i…

I though he said something cropped up and that wasn't offered any more. If I were you guys, I'd still give a shot and see if Apple will bother with it.

Got the G4 upgrade, runs great... It's alot snappier than with the G3.... and I recieved my Apple DVD-R and that works great... just wait ing for my ebay pci wireless card.. it …

Well, no 630CD that i could find. There *is*, however, a PowerMac 9500/200, an AppleDesign keyboard, and an Apple ADB Mouse II Maybe I can get the keyboard & mouse, probeb…

Great point there Mac128 - the plastic dust cover on the later SuperDrives completely slipped my mind.

I had that "tar" in the bottom of my SystemSaver GS. Had to clean it all out, disgusting. xx(

It might also be important to note that most floppy drives do heat up during operation (although probably more so 5.25" than 3.5" drives). Click to expand... I would say defini…

I don't know about that. The pedigree of Apples was basically that everything was backwards compatible. Click to expand... Which was a double-edged sword, IMO, and what ultima…
