I've got a GigE/Mystic dual G4 now (thanks, coius!) and stuck in a couple 256MiB PC133 sticks I had. I run NetBSD on this machine, and while it sees these, it doesn't use them. T…

Very nice! I think you should just pop a new HD in it. It may cost too much to get that board.

Without seeing what was on the drive? Where's the fun in that?…
I got an email from a person in my area who asked if I wanted an old "Performa type" computer, with large B&W office printer. He was located only 2 blocks from me, so of co…
Two iMac G3/500MHz DVSE Snow machines are the only Macs (amongst 40+ left after a recent change of house) in this house that were bought new. Always-on for 6+ years, with their re…
I remember back in the day thinking that the Snow iMac was profoundly ugly, and that being completely devoid of any colour, it was almost like a beige iMac.
Now, I think they look…
Alright, I just hit it up with some googone-ish stuff (just a solvent) and a plastic scraper and now it's basically 10/10 condition, no scuffs or cracks or anything. Just a pretty …
To run 7.1 on an LC III you need a system enabler that's probably not on the installer disk but *is* on the disk tools disk.

After my LC III sat unused for a few months, which had/has bad caps. So I removed the ROM's and washed the board. I probably screwed something up by putting the ROM's in the wrong …
Thanks all. Yeah - I'm pretty pleased with the situation.
I upped it to 512MB RAM and have installed and am currently updating Jaguar. I have tiger discs around somewhere but cons…
That's wicked awesome!
I've always liked those machines, but their speakers were never good enough to be in a bedroom, meaning, they couldn't get quiet enough for late night use.

I'm typically not a huge fan of AIO machines. Back in 2001 my father decided he wanted to get a new mac, and decided on an iMac G3/600, which came in Snow and Graphite. I voted for…
I don't know if it's a case of too many contestants or too few voters, but we seem to have ended up with no less than five RetroChallengers in the top three slots! Without further …
It was very common to see Lisa 2s sold with an external 5MB ProFile instead of an internal drive. As I recall Apple marketed the Lisa 2 in three configurations: base, 5MB external,…

I fancied a trip to a semi-local used bookstore the other day (Sunday) and rescued 8 used Mac books.
They are:
Power Macintosh 8600 Users' Manual
The Power Mac Book!
Fully Powe…
Got a iMac G4 800MHz 17", local pickup from eBay for just £84. In the UK these are worth about £200, so it might be sold for a profit. Needs a clean inside and out, and a replaceme…
Update: I used MacADT to transfer the disks, but only managed to get the same 11 which I had originally made into .shk archives. I have now uploaded the whole package to asimov. So…
Sounds like a great conquest, and it's always fun to be able to combine two machines into one.
I always liked the way tibooks looked, but they way they were built leaves a lot to …
