NICE!

That's ... awesome! I know you've had trouble finding old Macs near you, which makes it doubly awesome. How did you find these?

Well what are you waiting for?! Get started on your super-computing cluster!

WGS 95 has 48 RAM, Q950 has PPC upgrade 601-100 MHz, full 256 RAM, the other two didn't boot, one had sad bong and other probably PSU problem.

Under 24 bit addressing there is 1M of address space assigned to each Slot. Does that mean that a video card would be limited to 1 MB of VRAM when using 24 bit addressing? Or i…

Not sure if you're already past this part... The suction cup and red (usually red) cable to the side of the CRT is an integral part of the flyback transformer. If you wish to re…

Any chance you work on IIFX motherboards that the idiot previous owners left to battery decay? I know there is at least one pad gone there and who knows what else. but the boards …

If it has a picture of a printer on the second 25 pin port, it is a parallel Zip drive. Do NOT connect this drive to a Mac.

First things first, you must use a SCSI Zip drive on that Mac. Parallel port Zip drives require a parallel port, which is only found on PCs, if you connect a parallel port device t…

The 8GB limitation was only for Beige G3s and Tray load iMacs. AFAIK the B&W G3 can have a partition of any size for a startup volume, and in any location on the drive. (th…

Who can tell me how to hook an external Zip drive to my Performer 630CD? I have access to a Zip 250 external drive but don't know how to hook it to my Mac? Are Zip drives made scu…

Any chance you OS 9.x partition is the first partition set? You might be up against the OSX 8 Gig startup volume limitation... Try repartitioning, and installing OS 9 on to a par…

For some reason I can only boot into OS9, if I select OSX in startup disk the mac will chime and it will not output video. Don't know why...

My Quicksilver is currently using a PCI card since it gave up its AGP GeForce2 MX for my Cube. (16MB Rage, but that machine is in server duty and only used over screen sharing,…

I've never dealt with an AGP Mac before, but I know for a fact that a PC with an AGP slot will quite happily run with only a PCI video card, so I can't see how a Mac would be any d…

Via a local kijiji seller: a 400MHz G4 AGP Graphics with 1GB RAM and a nice, quiet 20GB hard drive. It was filthy (smoker and dust) so it was disassembled and washed and is drying …

There were a handful of external monitor adapters for the SE but they were nothing like the ones made for the SE/30. One was by Radius for use with their portrait monitor. There wa…

Alright, got a high-quality picture of it running, using my good camera: (Click for larger.) I dismantled the external floppy, and got the mechanism to move, but it's still in …

Do not remove the band -- there's no non-destructive way to do it, and no real non-destructive way to reuse it, unfortunately.

Does your replacement CRT lack a band or something? Click to expand... I don't have a replacement CRT but I want to save the frame and attaching band in case I find one that do…

Nice score. I always like finding the vintage items still in their boxes.

I went to a junk store today, they collect a lot of stuff from people. I found an Apple LaserWriter Select 360 in the box! (Box in great condition) and an ImageWriter II (Just lik…

Does your replacement CRT lack a band or something?

All I can say after watching this thread is that I hope I never have to remove a crt from any of my compact macs. Learned a lot though! Thanks guys.

Going down the list looking at the different models and their conditions I don't think that lot is worth dropping $350 on even if you lived next door to him. You've got 5 MDD's the…
