While you have it apart, why not shoot for 225MHz? That would make it the fastest non-G3/G4 Powerbook ever

That Epson is win. Welcome to the retro netbook club

The very early sawtooth used the same psu as the B&W. Most sawtooths had two more pins on the connector.

The Gateway probably wins, hands-down, for combination of oldest and "netbook"; although it wasn't really possible to use it as a "netbook" when it was new. The roughly same age, …

I suppose it's just speaking the obvious to point out it'd probably be a bad idea to put that G4 module into your beige machine, unless you're willing to take the risk that it'll m…

congrats, it sounds like its a cool conquest, and a ton of fun, but... your going to have to go back abit further for "netbooks" http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Libret…

At this point, I'm at a bit of a loss about what to do. My two choices seem to be either to try and grab a cheap releacement motherboard (preferably a rev2 to replace the current r…

I can't see why not - it was never an official upgrade, but all the other parts should be the same.

Well I think I just found the answer, it is definitely due to size. These things are absolute barrels for the capacitance that we need. http://www.parts-express.com/wizards/searc…

My sincere apologies to you all if I haven't been getting back to you in a timely manner about shipping costs for sending work to me. Things are, as usual, hectic yet not too busy…

I use tape all the time for the vintage gear (archives).

Radius Rocks! I've been using their products since '87 and the one I love most is my 81/110 with the Radius VideoVision Studio Setup. I liked its design so much that I snagged a N…

I like the 81/110 Radius, and I own one. Still the tape drive in the WGS 8150 is nice, but I have externals so backup is not a problem.

The Radius is the greater rarity. WGServers are no different than ordinary Macs of the day, though both (?) machines likely have an extra large L2 cache. If it's 1MB, the chip alo…

I put the new 128MB module into my LC 575 and it registered fine, so I'll post the link if anyone else is interested. It's a darn good price, but there are only three left: http:/…

(I waited to post this until after I got back from vacation and could do some troubleshooting.) Just before leaving for CA, I received the G4, installed it in the B&W, and…

Any ideas on the spontaneous bootup and the lack of "influence" via the ADB? Could the power supply also have issues? I do have a spare but it is about the exact age as the other…

Oh, the WGS is the 'hub' of my new testbench. I have an AAUI-to-10BaseT adapter that has a built-in 3 port hub connected (so I don't need a dedicated hub on the testbench,) and ha…

Haven't noticed anything like that with my two 7300s. They see regular use, however (one is always running and the other is used a lot), so I don't know if that has anything to do …

That's one I've never heard of before

Really nice. The 605 is my favorite Quadra. I had one a while back as well as its cousin the LC 475.

I'd say your assessment is correct, but that the cleaning (which had to happen) not only helped establish that, but also helped establish that the machine may otherwise be just fin…

I actually spotted that auction on eBay! Nice conquest. :O

My motherboard looks absolutely beautiful and after waiting some extra days as advised I decided to go for it. I reassembled the IIci and it immediately booted up (spontaneously)…

I've tried three floppy drives. 2 are from LCs, 1 from a IIci. They all do the same thing even with different cables. I do have my broken motherboard. Is there a way I can iden…
