Rodime were one of the worst makes of drive back in the day. I believe an early edition of The Macintosh Bible mentions Rodime as an unreliable drive. A simple Google search reveal…

That is indeed a very respectable first conquest. Well done, soldier!

Yeah, the SE FDHD upgrade involved replacing the IWM chip with a SWIM chip, as you said, as well as replacement ROMs.

The original 128 and 512 could do very little animation because of the lack of memory. About the only option was MacroMind's VideoWorks, which allowed animating a small software sp…

The original SE (4 SIMMs are angled) doesn't have much clearance for the motherboard, a SE30 with the 8 SIMM slots (that stick straight out) will not fit. The difference between a …

I would like to have a 1.44 MB floppy, but I think I read somewhere that it would require a logic board upgrade, and then I wouldn't be able to use a second built-in floppy. Can an…

Very nice! There's just something about these compact Macs that you can't describe until you use one. You could get addicted to them. I like how the external fits nicely under the …

I spotted that auction! Great job on the conquest!

I have that same Rodime drive on my Plus... it is indeed quite loud.

I bought this on eBay a few weeks ago and it arrived yesterday. It's an SE dual 800k (sticker on back says 1MB RAM, but it actually has 4 or 5), that came with a Rodime 20 Plus ext…

Yesterday I saw that they still had an LCIII, WGS 6150, LC, Color Classic, and SE on sale for $10 a pop in the back. Go Austin Computer Works! Click to expand... OMG, ARE YOU O…

I went back today. I think you confused the Classic for a Color Classic. Everything else listed is still there. I would like a classic mac, but I want one I can add ethernet to. I…

If they have a color classic, I think I will make space for that. Actually I have a use for it. I may swing by this afternoon and see if it is still there.

@Redjack: Wait, you walked away from a $10 Colour Classic? :O 8-o :?:

I didn't see the Color Classic when I was there; maybe they brought it out after I cleared the shelf. I remember a couple years ago I saw a Color Classic set there for the bargain…

I was there yesterday and two weeks ago (visited my bro)! Last time, I got a IIci but decided against the IIsi and the LCIII, glad they went to good homes. When I was there Yesterd…

Mostly it is because I have too much clutter in the house and I don't have a good place to set it up. I figured I would let another collector give it a good home, instead of just …

I picked them up on Sunday. Someone should go and get the LC II, LC, WGS 6150, Classic, and SE that I didn't have room for; I'm lucky my girlfriend isn't shunning me as it is, and…

Hey when were you there? I was there on Saturday and saw those items. I thought about picking up the Atari ST, but decided against it.

If we could only get Houston ComputerWorks to do the same thing. I'm always seeing at least one old Mac in the back due to get chopped.

Goodwill ComputerWorks - Austin decided to resume selling older hardware. The result was an afternoon of 68k conquest: Quadra 605 LC III IIsi Atari 1040 STE unused - CIB Atar…

You guys are probably right. I was pretty much certain my memories were wrong, but anyway. I hadn't seen a SE/30 since that one when I got mine a couple of weeks ago, so I thought …

Minutes after posting I found this, and thought it would fit on topic…
