reported the bug and the workaround to Epson. To no avail Click to expand... This was last year, right?

I have often heard the claim that the Apple /// was intentionally crippled, usually for marketing reasons and always with the implication that it did not have to be done. But is t…

Is it a case of the firmware not wanting to boot from the DVD? Typically firmware updates can be done from MacOS 9. What has 10.5 got to do with the issue?

I have the installer dvd for a g4, 10.4 server It will not pot or mount, unless i stick the disk in after os 9 has loaded, the only way i think i could install it is to install 10…

you need the server verson to do that, not the client, but for 10.5 server is hard to find,I would just get a cheap mini g4 or intell and slap on 10.5 server or get a intell mini a…

Apple used to brag at the time that the /// was a 16-bit machine because there was a state machine appended to the 6502 to handle 16-bit words and the data buss fetched 16 bits at …

In about 10-15 years time they'll probably be making their own processors and video cards. Take that Hackintosh!

[i'll make a scan of it. Click to expand... May you live to be a thousand years old, sir!

I second this - hopefully we can find someone with enough spare time to scan the entire book. Click to expand... "Macintosh Hacker's Bible" is apparently available from a libr…

This is the cheapest G5 I could find that didn't say Parts or Repair on it: http://cgi.ebay.com/power-pc-g5_W0QQitemZ250494997439QQcmdZViewItemQQptZApple_Desktops?hash=item3a52aa5…

It's like a used car. Someone may replace the engine and all major support parts costing the person 5 grand in parts. But the car's only worth maybe 3 grand. This happens all the t…

to a realist it is, to mac fanatic its not, funny things about mac's I guess whats going to be interesting is when these mactels start hitting vintage, that should even out the pl…

You'd be lucky to get $700. Honestly, you're insane to think you'll get more, or the buyer is a sucker. They're almost vintage. You never get your investment back with upgrades, an…

well it isn't vintage yet... it is still a very capable machine and the difference from 2.0GHZ to 2.3 is not much, only 300MHZ anyways... and with 16 gb ram this thing doesn't stut…

As for dates, Apple sent us a prototype a few months before release. There were other developers who were seeded with prototypes much earlier. Click to expand... PICTURES

I guess I'll have to dig the old Mac out of the closet and put the 64K ROMs back in it. I was under the impression that the 1.4 drives only worked with the SWIM chips, and didn't r…

It's been a while so my memory may be fuzzy, but I got my first Mac at work in Nov '83, and bought my own Mac in May '84. A bit later Apple came out with the first 3.5" Apple][ dri…

What if one person wants to pay $500 and another person offers $1500? Is the machine worth $500 or $1500? Click to expand... Obviously, it's worth two different prices to two d…

The memory alone costs about $250 new on Dealram. He also said "1.4 TB HDD's" which I assume means two of them (and probably 1.5 TB as I've never seen 1.4 TB). Those are over $100 …

A system, or any item, is worth however much someone wants to pay for it. If someone pays $1500, then it is worth $1500. If someone would only pay $500, then it is worth $500. It i…

The original Classic was released as part of a line-up which also included the LC and the IIsi. All three of the machines were intended for the low-budget market: Classic as the ch…

I find it odd how Apple went from expandable SE/SE30's to a Classic 2 with no expansion whatsoever. Click to expand... Maybe stupid, but not odd. There's a simple explanation w…
