Great finds. See if you can get a G3 for the 1400 -- it makes it a totally different animal. Although my 1400+G3/333 still feels slower than my 300MHz blueberryBook, it still runs …

Chances are that PB170 has a poorly-seated CPU daughtercard; reseating it (or shimming it slightly to enable a better fit) usually gives it life. Either that, or pull the battery …

Thanks! I'm pretty sure I know what's wrong with the 520c.

Not bad, best of luck getting the nonfunctional machines up!

I mentioned this conquest earlier, but it turns out that I got some more stuff along with everything else. 1: PowerBook 180c Dead HD (I have a spare); came with system disks and …

You type PR#1 at the BAISC (]) prompt to output anything typed. As per paper they can use tractor feed or normal loose leaf depending on what mode you have it in.

Wait what paper does it use as well?

I don't have applesoft or anything else! Just the command line after doing Control-Reset and playing with it.

Also almost every dotmatrix printer ever can self test. With my model, you can either hold down TOF/QUIET while you turn it on or hold down line feed while you turn it on. The Imag…

You can test the printer by typing PR#1 at the Applesoft prompt (assuming the printer card is in slot 1)... after that all output should be redirected to the printer. Type somethin…

I Have an OkiData printer as well! It came in a bundle with my ][e! I am not sure if it works as I have no way of testing it, because my ][e has no software. Mine is Okidata Microl…

Found this at a salvation army today, had no sticker on it so the guy said I could have it for $3.50. Came with two manuals and a somewhat dry but still decent ribbon. Self tests j…

That's an amazing haul! Especially with all the packaging. Congrats :approve:

info on your mac from the early mac serial number decoder site: Your Macintosh 512e (M0001E), with serial number F6403GUM0001E, was the 4040th manufactured during the 40th week of…

Amazing! I'm not much of a pre-SE guy either, but I recognize a beautiful find when I see one. The boxes look like they're in remarkably good condition. Better condition than my Ma…

That is amazing. especially to me in Australia, we just simply don't get hauls like that. those boxes are in brilliant nick too. hang on to all that original packaging. I for on…

Well I'm a genius. Putting one of my spare SE 800k drives in the case works like a charm. I think the original drive is just gunked up, it doesn't look physically damaged and is sl…

Incredible! :O

According to the box, it (The Macintosh Support Package) originally included the following: - Flip 'n' File /Micro 10 Diskette Storage Box - 3M Clean 'n' Safe screen cleaner - 3…

Very nice! :O I wonder what the "Macintosh Support Package" is?

Thanks! Another update - The imagewriter works grandly, completes self test and loads tractorfeed happily. Not surprisingly, both ribbons are mostly dried up, so tomorrow morning …

WOW! 8-o :O What a great find! Nice setup you have got there and you can't beat the price.

Quit update time: it works beautifully, I just booted the guided tour floppy and am having waaay too much fun! Why can't new computers be this awesome!?

I'll make this first post brief 'cause I know all you nuts are just in it for the pictures. Normally I'm not to interested in pre-SE macs, but when I was given an offer for a 512k…
