Very nice! :O Sounds like a good score....I'd quite happily pay $56 for such a beast.

Hi all, picked up a Mac on eBay I've never seen in the flesh before: a Quadra 950, lovely condition and should come up well with a strip down and blast with my air compressor. Co…

The IIx has been called a SE/30 stuck in a mac II case.

Why on Earth they would have soldered the ROMs in place on any machine is beyond me Click to expand... It's cheaper lord knows by that time they had gotten enough ROMs w…

I think that there is some confusion here....Note the four socketed DIPs next to the SIMM sockets. We can assume that the IIx layout is similar, because the ROMs were sold as an of…

I think that there is some confusion here. The early Mac models have ROMs that are in a DIP package. Examples: 128K/512K, 512Ke/Plus, SE and SE FD/HD. Later Macs (SE/30 and IIfx) …

course a buck at radio shack and you could have just replaced the jack properly

Yay! It's fixed! Well, except for the fact that I must now manually switch to enable either internal speakers or headphones. : Okay, so here's what I did. Once the Pismo wa…

you could do something like Code: site:68kmla.org +f=1 plus which would search for "plus" in forum 1.

you also need System 6.0.2 or higher lest the Macintosh II still mistake the high-density drive as an 800kB mechanism. Click to expand... Yes I read that and was surprised cons…

And I know this is even more tangential to the whole thing but I can't believe people would claim FR or Dragonlance as being the best of gaming literature. Wow. Click to expand.…

Yeah, as a part of the Mac II FDHD upgrade you do need IIx ROMs. I don't think the SWIM controller will fully function without it, as the Mac II ROMs most likely don't have the rig…

Screen Spanning Doctor simply removes Apple's artificial limitations on the true dual-head capability of various video cards in the iBook and iMac lines. Unfortunately, the limitat…

$2,184.89 as the winning bid. Just over two and a half grand AUD. Wow!

I believe the SE/30, and IIx ROMs are identical. Since the Mac II can be upgraded to FDHD, does that also upgrade it to the IIx ROM? I know the SE/30 can use a IIfx and IIsi ROM.…

I've got a headless 867MHz model that I'm turning into a TV box. It seems to be alright for most things, so far. Too bad there isn't a lightweight, modern video player for OS 9, li…
