I have a 400MHz iMac (in Indigo) and run OS 9.1 on it. Of course, I don't do any web surfing on it, and am content to use it with iMovie 2 (got it mainly to do smaller video jobs a…

You'll need an Apple II to read the 5.25" diskette. The drive you have will plug into the back of the IIc, IIc+, and IIGS, and will work on a II, II+, or IIe with the proper floppy…

I like the trackball better, too. Apple was inconsistent in where they silk screened the model number. 210s-270s usually had it on the bottom of the LCD panel, 280s & 2300s…

I forgot another telltale sign--the sound of the floppy drive. Listen to the drives in the two videos and you'll hear a HUGE difference between the 400K and 800K drive.

Graphic Converter has a handy "Save for web..." menu item under File. It opens a dialog where you can resize, set the image format, and various other parameters.

A very nice score there tyrannis. The last and best of the Duos - upgraded with the superior pointing technology!

Well scored there LCGuy! Getting the machine over 512MB will make a big difference in OS X - but it should still run adequately. And they make great DVD players, especially with …

Is it not possible to confirm what the machine is what based on the boot dialog? If you want to confirm if a given compact Mac is an original 128k or 512k with 64k ROMs versus a 5…

I have 10.2.8 on my 700mhz Snow model and the speed is good but the lack of support for newer software keeps me from using it much. I only have 256mb in it, so until I can scrape u…

That's not exactly what Scott wrote: The only surefire ways to know if it's enhanced (originally or not) are to look at the serial number (anything made in April 1986 or lat…

Here's where I am: I have the IIe running; I can get to the IIe profile page. I disassembled and cleaned the Apple 5.25" drive including the read head an re-assembled it. The LCIII…

Really? I was thinking Tiger would run fairly alright...compared to the tray loader, the exact same Panther install runs a lot faster on the slot load. You know, its funny...back …

And with 512MB of RAM, I should even be able to run Tiger fairly decently on here. Click to expand... Tiger is slow(Just as slow as Panther) even on my 600MHz iMac w/ 512MB and…

So I pulled the iMac to bits today and did some rummaging around inside, and put in the 80GB drive from my tray loader, as well as a fresh PRAM battery. I haven't actually gone in…

Good thing I just bought a bunch of PRAM batteries then. So many projects, so little time and bench space. |)

Scott Baret said there are no distinguishing markings other than the build date encoded in the serial number.

512ke ...model number on those is M0001E, so there is a way to distinguish them from M0001W 512k machines. Click to expand... Of course there is. We've all said as much in rece…

Hey, I saw something about the 512ke today that said the model number on those is M0001E, so there is a way to distinguish them from M0001W 512k machines.

Awww, man. That Goodwill maintains a museum. Guess where all the really good vintage stuff goes. :'(

That noise is a dying capacitor tied to the speaker, same noise I heard on a used unit that died (same board I recapped and works fine I have as a spare). Asuming nothing else is w…

Before you leave him negative feedback, I'd try and get onto him first, yes the board was sold "as-is", but you were told that it is a sealed, brand new part, and it is not.

Austin's Goodwill Compter Works is excellent, and there are several other computer recycle / resale operations, as you'd expect in a university town. http://www.austincomputerwork…

Leave him negative feedback. The item is not as described. As-is is something different than the description.

Stop using that word "RARE"! :beige: My recommendation is not to use that RAM upgrade board. It looks like the PSU is the intact original first generation as well. It still has…

I must be the unluckiest guy when it comes to LCs. Man did I get burned on this motherboard. It was not new. It was not sealed. It does not work. > Looks like it…
