The minimum system I've ever tried is an unmodified PB140, which produced better-looking video than I'd expected. Click to expand... Given that the 140 meets the 68030 minimums…

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 waited before I replied in case I was wrong, but I am pretty sure that the Disk ][ connects to a set of pins on the back of the ///. See this pic: http://www.digibarn.com/collec…

There is a little bit of info on the Disk III and its use on a III+ here: http://www.vintagemacworld.com/drives.html but as for the Disk II, vintage photos show Apple employees w…

I recall reading a tutorial once about converting a Disk II to use directly on an Apple III, instead of buying the more expensive Disk III mechanism. But in recent Googling, I can …

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…

OK, Thank you! I wanted to have an original monitor for it, but it didn't come with one. Thanks again, agg23

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: - The Macintosh Color Displa…

It would have been an Apple 14" monitor or similar. Maybe even the AudioVision.

Hi all, Did the SE/30 have diferent chimes over time? Mine has the usual "Macintosh II" chime, just as stated in Macracker for that model. But this sounds wrong to my ears, in re…

search http://www.apple-history.org for the Centris 650 you will see a pic of it

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…

Some people view the gas and time spent running around looking for machines is wasted, I think it is part of the fun in collecting. Click to expand... I completely agree. My fi…

I don't collect thinking of profit down the road, and didn't notice the auction had free shipping. Some people view the gas and time spent running around looking for machines is w…

$50 a machine, not exactly the best deal in the world considering shipping charges. I guess if you were local it might be worth it. Click to expand... The auction's listed with…

$50 a machine, not exactly the best deal in the world considering shipping charges. I guess if you were local it might be worth it. For me it is more fun snagging smaller lots and…

Wow. I'd love that.

Huh, how many boxes would that shipment take? Personally, I think one auction with everything ruins the fun of hunting down the desired machine...

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! Click to expand... followe…

8-o

Because it's awesome? Click to expand... more like a shame to waste a mini on an ugly case like that

This single auction will take care of most of it: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130327511233 128K, 512Ke, Plus, SE, SE/30, Classic, Classic II, &a…
