OK, i'm up in my grandma's attic imaging all of the old mac floppys i found. here is what I found: Legions (4 disks) Word tales (5 Disks, missing disks 3 and 5) Pac In Time (2 D…

I can't remember the name of it... but I remember seeing someone's home-brew video compression scheme for some type of 8-bit computer (can't remember if it was the Apple II, C64, e…

Now that's going to be *very* useful! Thanks for the tip.

Oh, and how do you get out the harddrive and stuff from it? If I can't keep the whole thing, I might as well strip it.

My mom probebly won't let me ("You don't have room...")

That's a good backup option. Click to expand... And if you end up doing that, which I think you will have to, even with Quicktime due to the 1-bit dithering, you might want to …

You can forget mpeg or anything else that requires decompression on the fly. Uncompressed 1 bit 512x384 stills shouldn't take too much space - just store them as a sequence of ima…

So I've come up with some animation software from the Plus era. It's called Hayden VideoWorks and seemed to have been pretty popular and well reviewed. There were several others as…

What is this on this 512k?Its in the second picture over the power button. Looks like SCSI to me. Click to expand... You got it! Since it doesn't appear to be a 512ke, (were t…

Yes that is a common SCSI upgrade to the 512K, designed to replace the battery cover. It required an upgrade to 128K ROMs and most likely has 800K drive upgrade as well. The Plus d…

I'm rather fond of the 9500, despite it's horrible case architecture. (Pretty on the outside, Evil on the inside)

Nice. But why would you probably not be taking it?

...and the PM9500/200 boots up to OS 9.1, with lots of expensave software!

And another interesting auction, It comes with dual HD 20s and an Extended beige (read: not platinum plus) keyboard http://cgi.ebay.com/Macintosh-512K-M0001W-Vintage-Computer-Har…

Now just for shits, grins and giggles wouldn't it be interesting to take the empty Mac Mini case and see if the Disk II innards would fit in it to turn that into an Apple II drive?…

Because it's awesome?

Well, no 630CD that i could find. There *is*, however, a PowerMac 9500/200, an AppleDesign keyboard, and an Apple ADB Mouse II Maybe I can get the keyboard & mouse, probeb…

What are the best (if any) options for fullscreen video playback on a bare bones Plus/Classic? Click to expand... No problem, just by-pass the Macintosh motherboard and use the…

As Mac128 said, it might be possible if you use some kind of animation software or whatever, but you can forget about anything that uses QuickTime - even QuickTime 1 requires a 680…

I love this (and I don't know why): http://technabob.com/blog/2009/02/21/apple-ii-disk-drive-mac-mini-casemod/

My first reaction was to laugh. I mean the first requirement is to dither your video source down to 1-bit color. But there may be some application. I seem to recall some animation …
