The recycler in question wasn't this company, was it? http://www.recycleapc.com/ Parent company homepage here Looks like they host collection events... and actually, never mind,…

Regardless of SCSI IDs, I still get a grey screen. I'd like to try SCSIProbe, but the problem is that if I connect ANY external SCSI device, I get a grey screen, and the floppy dri…

"go to places like Japan or Nigeria" Click to expand... Yes, I've noticed that the Wall St Journal always puts Japan and Nigeria in the same bracket. Perhaps the bloke should h…

What would be a method to figure out whether it was the recycling company or apple who made the decision? As the guy obviously hadn't cataloged the donated computers yet (all of t…

Could it be possible that the SCSI port is bad? Thanks! Click to expand... It's always possible. Have you gone though all the options, with/without termination, check ids, wit…

The issue here is not apple. It was most likely a lie. And that is going to just end up in china and be burned. Its the recyclers wanting MONEY per pound of "Junk".

Archived version of the same page Works fine for me.

So on my original Macintosh LC (the one I just rebuilt) it refuses to play nice with any external SCSI device. The weird thing is that internal SCSI works fine, and it boots off a…

I doubt Steve gives a crap about 20 year old computers (that were built when he wasn't even at Apple at the time).

Gentlemen, it seems this war has another enemy. Apple. They are making our mission harder. I think we should campaign. Email Sjobs@apple.com and DEMAND that the old macs be saved a…

Hey, does anyone have the procedure to overclock the 6200 motherboard from 37.5mhz bus to 40mhz? Takashi's 6xxx overclocking site hasn't been around for awhile( http://www.bekkoam…

If you had another system with native IDE support, why didn't you just format it with that system in the first place? Click to expand... maybe because I have not thought about …

1: No, I'm pretty sure that Microdocks never had SCSI. However, if you're talking about a Minidock, then everyone of those had SCSI, and they are not rare. 2: All Duo docks (regul…

HEY EVERYBODY! MY NAME IS RICHARD, AND THE REASON I AM MAKING THIS POST IS THAT I WAS WONDERING SOMETHING ABOUT SCSI "MICRODOCKS" FOR POWERBOOK DUOS. MY QUESTION IS ARE THEY RARE? …

FWB is the still not so free formating utility, right? To use this a few times a year, I'm not sure it is worth it! I used Lido for a while and it has been working fine. I heard a…

Oh, man... I'd love the IIgs. Too bad I'm on the Left Coast.

I'm on installing OS 8 on this machine. The HD utility in OS 8 does not recognize the HD as an Apple drive, so I used Lido again. Strangely Lido detects the drive as 78 gig, while …

Please go pick this up now! I'd gladly reimburse for a couple 57X's next time I'm over there. Also a $5 IIgs, some early PMacs ... good day for vintage computer buffs!

There could be a less-sinister explanation: Some recyclers were actually just shipping off old computers to poorer countries, and it was an environmental nightmare. And it sounds l…

Have thick gloves handy in case the dents have damaged safety devices and the battery gets hot and you want to remove it. See Table 8.0.1 in http://www.duracell.com/OEM/Pdf/others…

For every recycling company that might have a contract with Apple, I'm sure that 10 others don't. I only purchase regularly from one recycler, but I could probably get stuff from …

Well, yeah, those too. xD You can run System 7.5+ if you really need to for networking purposes, but you should at least run it with upgraded RAM.

So before I came here, my Macintosh LC (my original one) had to be parted out because there was only a grey screen on startup and the floppy drive was totally dead. (it wouldn't re…
