I'm surprised Dana hasn't chimed in yet about the Q605. Personally, they're not my cup of tea. I prefer the larger Quadras with more expansion possibilities. I think I would feel c…

I just scored the first Mac I ever used! My best friends Quadra 605, that he received for Christmas 1993. Neither he or I have seen or used the computer in over 12 years. Long stor…
I do remember seeing somewhere a mention of a Mac Plus without a "Macintosh" label. Could you get a "closer-up" shot of the D?And yes, check the inside for upgrades, you may have s…

A bit about the Sun...
The video connector is called a 13W3, adapters easily found on ebay. The keyboard is a sun-specific interface and the mouse plugs into the keyboard. BTW, the…
I have an old Macintosh Classic II computer. Lately, instead of booting normally, it has been flashing a disk icon with a question mark on it.
I need to boot it from a floppy. Unf…

There's no lettering on the front, just a "Nike Swoop" and a rectangle, could be a "D" or something else. I've never seen a pic of one like this.

With ROM, it skips the "real" A0 and A1. This is because each address on the address bus is sent to all 4 ROM chips. Because there are 4 8-bit ROM chips, each address requested f…

Not ALL that amazing, AFAIK, but I got some pretty neat stuff, I'm a very happy camper! :rambo:
Here's all the new IRS Funded Goodies arranged on the MacCoffeeTable™ I've ment…

Here we go. According to my notes, I have a PM9100/120 S/N XB51800V4US, a WGS9150/120 and a WGS9150/80 S/N XC44405V36R in the attic. I kind of wonder if the first two listings …
UPDATE:
Today I solved the problem with my Mac IIci. It is fully-functional off of Built-In ROM. Address Line 16 was damaged UNDERNEATH the battery holder. A battery had explode…
I have an 80MHz version. It was crashing at random intervals, but I applied some new thermal paste to its 601 and now runs like a champ. I also put a PDS AV card in it, which reall…

Thanks! Definitely a lot of good memories associated with this computer. It was a year before I was able to get a computer of my own, so I was at my friends just about every day! …
I don't have a 5300cs but I believe the 190cs has the same screen and I have found the refresh rate is poor for games. The screen is poor for darks and the screen has poor refresh…
Congratulations!
It really is a fun feeling to recover a computer that has memories associated with it.
Plus, The Quadra 605 is a nice machine. Good luck restoring it to working …

I don't like the screen on mine. It looks really "bubbly" (pixels seem to float from the bottom of the screen to the top, like bubbles in a fish tank) and the movement kind of dist…

I don't have a 1400cs and so cannot really answer your question for sure, but I do have a 5300cs. What I can say is that once the screen resolution and colour depth are factored ou…
