Seeing how the SE/30 is basically a Mac IIx stuffed in a compact case, I don't think it's likely there have ever been SE/30's with the classic chime. More likely you didn't make an…
Every SE/30 I've worked with has used the Mac II chime. Also, the Classic II uses the LC chime. The only Macs that use the standard compact Mac chime are the 128K, 512K, 512Ke, Plu…
The minimum system I've ever tried is an unmodified PB140, which produced better-looking video than I'd expected.

That "8088 Corruption" hack is pretty impressive, indeed! I admire the twisted mind(s) that conceived of, and executed, its development.
Given that it evidently uses a VQ-based co…
I always love to know the story behind machines. This may sound weird, but when I get computers off of FreeCycle I ask the person who is giving it away the story of the machine. It…
The 650, like the other Quadras, didn't actually come with a monitor, you had to provide one yourself. Typical monitors that were used on it included:

Mine has the usual "Macintosh II" chime, just as stated in Macracker for that model. But this sounds wrong to my ears, in re…

What would the Centris 650 original monitor look like? If it didn't come with one, what would the monitors for that time look like? I would answer this myself, but Archive.org ha…

Lovely machine, especially when you add a full '040, 1MB video and lots of RAM. Plays DOOM-era games and of course great performance with apps. Speakers are going iffy on mine thou…
I'd always wanted a 575! When I was quite young I was begging my parents for a Performa AIO but all we found on sale was the 550, we bought it for $990, REFURBED. It did the trick …
I always thought that the 575's were the fugliest macs ever. But I really would not mind owning one and especially at that price! The Price is right!
