Terrible, *TERRIBLE* monitor. They are plagued with all sorts of problems, mostly cold solder connections. There was an Apple Repair Program that expired almost a decade ago. Serio…
I talked to a lady at my local Goodwill today...She said unless the computer is brand new, the hard drive is taken out, the parts are stripped and sold off...So there's really zero…
I have never seen a Clearance Center. They operate "Clothing Stores" and stores called "ComputerWorks" around here, but there may be a large repository of donated items that isn't…

Well, I just had my week made. I was out this evening, when I hadn't planned on being out at all and was kind of not wanting to drive places. I happened to be driving past an old p…

Also as a personal touch for my mommy I modded the glowing apple and made it pink! Looks pretty awesome. Tiger runs on this thing like a champ. Looks brand new now except for 2 …
Thanks Dog Cow,
Yeah, I did some research some time after my post to find out what I needed to know about a Mac Plus, and to my surprise I saw that, as you said, it uses an 800k d…

Congrats on the iBook! Hope yours fairs better than mine did...mine was plagued with problems since the start, and it finally failed a few months ago with the infamous GPU issue.
Hi,And if anyone can offer me any spare 400k floppy drives they may have, internal or external, let me know.

check the jumper settings on the drive... It's been a while since i played with scsi stuff, but there might be more than just the scsi id jumpers? Maybe you need to terminate the …
I've got a partially restored Quadra 700. It came with nothing, no RAM, floppy drive, hard drive, or even internal device cables. It now has all the internal devices, maximum RAM…

I also fixed the KeyBoard by using keys from an old iBook G3 Keyboard. It is now like a hybrid clear and solid keyboard. Very cool. Kinda like Coius's PowerBook Bronze keyboard mod…
The TiBook will be my secondary Laptop, in case my MSI Wind Fails. Also may be my video editing machine if it is 867MHZ or higher. Don't know what model it is.
Another Conquest here! (Sorry in advance since it is not really vintage, Judging by the conquest wars going on...)
Got me an iBook G4 from a family friend! Said he didn't need it …
Hi,
Just bought this as a Buy-It-Now on eBay for a total of $50.00.
The seller includes the keyboard, mouse, and even the owner's guide as well! So overall, I'd say, a great eBa…

I can confirm there is absolutely very little wrong with placing bare electronics on a carpet. Indeed, I have tested motherboards, PSUs, hard drives, etc - yes, basically a whole c…
