Wow. I'd love that.

Congrats! Very well written. Hope you enjoy that compact!

Copied across from MacTalk Australia forums, written by myself, Michael aka. iMac600. Unlike over there you all probably remember my 512k with the fatal "FLUP" noise, and the defec…

Hoorah! Its here and its beautiful. I will post pictures tomorrow. It looks like it was never used, except for the fact it is missing the rear port door. The mouse clickers still f…

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 thought that we didn't have rules on what a conquest is & I thought it's best this way.... If we are a 68k liberation army then any 68k machine that we liberate... I ju…

OK, I'll downgrade My IIcis fDD rarely formats my FD's correctly. It just says "Initialization failed" or "Initialaziton Failed because the disk is defective." HopeFully System 6…

sys7 wont work. it has a differant format window you might have to try a bunch of disks fefore it works.

i forget if it will work with system 6 or not. i'll check.

Would 7.5.1 work or not. Probably not. I'll have to downgrade my IIci to 6.0.4 that came with it.
