3 pizzas with the lot! Lovely scores.

When you think about it, it would make perfect business sense for Apple to back the crushing of older Macs. The fewer used Macs out there on the market, the higher the price, and …

I can't really advise. The question is whether the internal cells are damaged or not. Unlike Lithium cells, they're not likely to burst into flames, but I wouldn't know what the …

System 7.1 Click to expand... And about 7.1.1 and 7.1.2 non-Pro?

Nice score on some great gear! I've always had a special place for the case styling of the 81/8500 series of computers. A nice looking mini-tower, with power under the hood. I ha…

I've always liked the pizza box styled LC475's. I used to own one and man, it was a wonderful little computer.

Sounds like BS to me. Apple doesn't care. These "recycler" jerks just want the money they get from selling the scrap metal. It drives me insane how they can have these "drives" lik…

I think it would have to do with them having a contract with Apple - Apple is very serious about recycling these days, and if I'm correct they actually have contracts with a lot of…

Can't offer him a bribe? If the books did not list them and no employees remembered seeing them... Then Apple would never know.

I think it has something to do with Steve Jobs return back in the day. I believe I heard that he had staff clear out all the old macs they had sitting around their offices. This …

Dearest comrades in the quest to liberate 68k Macintosh computers, Today there was an electronics recycling drive in my town (Lexington, MA) and I brought a CRT and some old cell …

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 …

I thought this was interesting also. Click to expand... China would be an Apple collectors dream. Free keyboards and shiz. Inb4 environmentalists, think of the children, etc.…

Eh, don't feel that way. As long as the HD's not a Conner, it should be perfectly fine. In fact, these drives pop up on eBay sometimes. I even saw a lot of 14 2.5 SCSI hard drives…

I thought this was interesting also.

Well... I mean... if you're gonna leave stuff out on the curb (i.e. trash) what do you expect is gonna happen? If you really "cared" about it you wouldn't have trashed it, imo. …

I dont think its a matter of caring or not, its a matter of now there is broken toxic glass n plastic smashed all over the front drive, non assholes would have just taken off with …

This look interesting as well: http://dreher.net/?s=projects/CFforAppleII&c=projects/CFforAppleII/main.php I've contacted the guy about the pricing and availability.

Is the 40 MB 2.5 SCSI HD a Conner? If so, then those weren't very reliable and had a tendency to die, so I'm pretty sure the HD's toast. The reason why it has no SCSI power connec…

8MB 0f physical RAM is not a bad complement, and implies that you have a 4MB daughter-card in place already. There is built-in VRAM enough to support mirroring on a CRT (two disti…

A 2.5" only needs +5VDC so that should be easy enough. You can get pinouts of drives at http://pinouts.ru/pin_HD.shtml I was just looking online and there are adapters available. …

Nice score, especially the 6100!
