Yeah I agree. Yes Nico it was you. I do think a Mac Plus is epic because I don't have a working Compact (yet-- A 512k is on its way to me ) But I found a keyboard and mouse in …

OK, Well you know the IIcis I liberated? All of the Floppies that came with it (Except one- Macintosh Basics) Don't have that extra hole on the side. I have SUM (Symantec Utilit…

Which is why I think you can't really categorize conquests into distinct awesomeness-levels. Click to expand... For other people, that is. For yourself, then yes. I have defini…

LOL, that would've been me you're talking about. I guess the fact you bring this point up already proves that this is a very subjective thing. In my view, the Plus is a pretty com…

It's the ratio of how desirable/rare the item(s) were, compared to how much money was dispensed, multiplied by the total number of items received.

So I've been thinking. What is an EPIC OMG ELEVENTY Conquest, and what is a small conquest. How do we categorize these conquests? I read a thread about a Mac Plus conquest with …

Formatting a high-density 1.44M floppy as a single- or double-density 400k/800k floppy works well enough, but you won't be able to reformat it back to 1.44M if you ever need to. Yo…

With the tape trick, I just had to get a whole bunch of 1.4 disks and eventually I found one that worked as 800k when taped. Good luck.

I just got a 575 a couple of weeks ago from AnalogKid. I love it, the screen is crisp and it with After Dark running it has been a great distraction for my new kitten. :lol:

In my book, the Color Classic or G3 AIO wins the "fugly" contest. Click to expand... I like the CC. I just wish it could do 640x480 standard. The "Mystic" CC with VGA hack is…

I always thought that the 575's were the fugliest macs ever. Click to expand... In my book, the Color Classic or G3 AIO wins the "fugly" contest.

Sweet deal! I used LC 5xxs at school often.

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!

I have loads of 1.4mb floppies. I'll try Taping the whole. formatting as 800k, then formatting as 400k Probably will not work. But lets see.

I've always thought the LC575 is the best looking AIO...there's just something about it thats....just so right.

My LC 575 (well, Performa 578 if you want to get technical) gets daily use. As beachycove said, it's practically silent. I love it! From an aesthetic point of view, it's one of my …

I think they were great machines. Some do not like them from an aesthetic point of view, but in the flesh (plastic?), they actually look a great deal like the Color Classic. The sc…

If it works anything like the Amiga you can format a 1.4mb to 800k (and maybe 400k too). Just tape over the hole so it behaves like a double-density disk. Years ago I did that all …

Purchased from AG Wolf on these forums, I have a Macintosh 512k coming my way!!! It works nicely, nice physical condition. Will get to see it either tomorrow or the day after. I ha…

How big of a room would a Macintosh 128k fill if you expanded every single microchip so that each circuit path is the width of a thin piece of wire? My estimate would be that each…

Ahh, fond memories. My first Mac was an LC 575... paid $250 or so for it, used. That was back in 4th grade. Have fun with those! :beige:

Oh, that's the "glowstick IIci"! Good luck with it.

If you've managed to scrape the paint off, I'd love to see an "after" picture!

My room doesn't smell like old pizza! But I think one of my cats coughed up a big, nasty hairball in my closet, and another peed on some stuff in my closet... And I don't hav…
