Glad to have ya! The first computer I bought with my OWN money in college was my trusty Quadra 630 - Nice sum of 1200.00 used from a Chinese lady on campus. That was 1992-1993 I …

My name is Timothy. I am 23 years old. For the past year, I have been struggling with a medical condition known as balanitis. It has been a difficult journey, but I have a friend t…

They win a Retro Challenge Mouse Pad, an original first-edition copy of 300 Baud Magazine, and... a CD of tunes made on the Apple II.

What do the winners win?

Considering how few of this year's two dozen entrants actually completed a project, it was surprisingly difficult to pick a top three – and that's only partially down to laziness a…

Not without major, major modification. Do a google search for "Takky" or "Power Colour Classic". Definitely not for the faint of heart.

Can't you also put a 5200/6200 motherboard in those?

Wow nice score! Wanna sell it???? Click to expand... I think I'll keep it for the moment. ;^) So, upon trying the "boot to OS 9" experiment, when I boot a system file dragged …

Wow nice score! Wanna sell it????

the 1.42x2MDD I briefly had was very very snappy. Even my 1X2G4 QS was a very snappy machine. In all fairness I was using an 800mhz ibook g3 as my other osx machine at the time, bu…

So, I picked up the machine yesterday afternoon. The complete inventory of stuff in it was as follows: 2x 1.25Ghz CPU 2 GB RAM Airport 250 GB HD 1x Radeon 9000 Pro AGP with DV…

the MDD has absolutely no problems at all running large IDE hard drives; In fact, I believe that the MDD came in a server configuration with a set of large hard disks in it at some…

OS 9 can work with large drives up to 2TB if you find a copy of MacOS ROM version 9.5 or later. The ROM file that came on the MDD's CD or an iMac/iBook G4 or other late version of …

IIRC 200gb or smaller partitions can only be read by os9 say you have a 600gig drive and it is partitioned in 200gb and 400gb it would boot fine off the 200gb partition but absolut…

I'm sure others who have personal experience with such machines can give you a 'from personal experience' answer, but here's my understanding: OS 9 will only recognize partitions …

Recently I (foolishly?) agreed to take a dual 1.25 Ghz MDD G4 Tower (OS 9-bootable, not FW800) off a coworkers' hands for $50. (I'm not sure why. I think I had this vague idea that…

Whee! My 2-3X Panasonic DVD-RAM discs (4.7 GB, no cartridge,) work just fine in OS X Tiger. Disk Utility formats them no problem. Disc is recognized in 8.6, but won't format, no…

It needs to have the DVD Extension and Disc Authoring though. Click to expand... Are you sure? ISTR reading that once the disk is formatted (HFS or HFS+) it can be mounted rea…

Oh, good catch. I didn't know that. I've upgraded my Color Classic to an LC 575. It's pretty darn sweet.

Yeah...basically, an LC/Performa 550 or 575 board will just slot straight in, and will allow you to use virtually any RAM or LC PDS cards you currently have fitted to the 520. The …

and a fairly decent understanding of electronics. Click to expand... Not this guy here. Thanks for the detailed/informative info because it really helps me. When i bought the L…

You can't use an LC580 board on an LC520 without performing some major major surgery - the LC520 (and LC550/575, and Colour Classic/Colour Classic II) use a different motherboard e…

Are you saying that i can install the LC580 board into my LC520 ?
