Well, I just had my week made. I was out this evening, when I hadn't planned on being out at all and was kind of not wanting to drive places. I happened to be driving past an old p…

Thanks Dog Cow, Yeah, I did some research some time after my post to find out what I needed to know about a Mac Plus, and to my surprise I saw that, as you said, it uses an 800k d…

Hi,And if anyone can offer me any spare 400k floppy drives they may have, internal or external, let me know. A spare floppy drive or two would certainly come in handy now that…

Hi, Just bought this as a Buy-It-Now on eBay for a total of $50.00. The seller includes the keyboard, mouse, and even the owner's guide as well! So overall, I'd say, a great eBa…

Nice paneling!

Just thought I'd share :beige: { "lightbox_close": "Close", "lightbox_next": "Next", "lightbox_previous": "Previous", "lightbox_error": "The requested conte…

Macgeek417, Try updating the drivers for the hard disk drive. See if OS 9.x will install from there. If it installs, then download Firmware Update version 4.1.9f4 (under OS 9.x'…

It's also interesting how he prices everything for the insane Apple collecting freak. Fortunately for me, most all of what he sells, I already possess. I live, more or less, relati…

Here's another auction by danapplemacman with his usual collection of fantastic photos. An obviously fantastic example of an operational 128K for any collector, as usual lovingly r…

I have never seen a Clearance Center. They operate "Clothing Stores" and stores called "ComputerWorks" around here, but there may be a large repository of donated items that isn't…

I can only assume that the drive doesn't have the Mac OS 9 drivers installed (usually an option when installing OS X on a drive or preparing it through DU). Have you tried zapping…

the cd/dvd drive works fine. when i boot from 9.0.4, it doesn't boot and just starts X

Does your DVD/CD Drive work in OS X? That may have bit the bucket, or your install media.

When you try to boot from the 9.0.4 CD, do you get the blinky, or an error message saying the disk is not compatible? I suspect that series needs a slightly higher version.

OK, my iMac had been running OS X for quite a while, but when I went to start up in OS 9 i just get a blinky ? floppy disk and a cursur. it used to like OS 9 but now it won't even …

Man thats a sweet deal, I'd love to get a saturn at that price haha.

The local Goodwill used to have the main store (standard botique setup, albeit larger), something called "Buy the Pound" (which sounds like your clearance centre), and an electroni…

Anyone ever heard of this offshoot of Goodwill, called the Goodwill Clearance Center? There's one now right behind the "Super" Goodwill where I am, near Asheville NC (it's like a G…

Hey all, just joined up. Glad to find this forum. Anyway, I'm trying to locate an old ad from the mid to late 80's that featured a Compact Mac (Plus or SE) sitting on a desk i…

MC Price Breakers is stilling selling a card that will hold a small 2.5 SCSI Hard for the IIgs. It appears the card will power the HD. Just a thought since I just ran across it lo…

They came today, now if only I had an old Mac here to put them in! (for those who aren't in the know, I'm living on campus at uni, all my computers apart from the MacBook and th…
