Looks like your CPU was replaced at one time or another, it does not look like an Apple/Motorola 68K to me (see below). Pins 7 & 8 are the High/Low Data Strobe and Pin 45 i…

you can clean that up with some solder wick.

The 68000 on one of my Mac 512k's seems to have had three pins connected to something at one point.   Curious if folks can guess what device/upgrade might have originally been i…

Im trying to make a somewhat comprehensive list of compact Macs and the many, many variations. I noticed that the Plus normally carries the model M0001A. But I see there is a varia…

Bad solder joints. There's a thread somewhere on here about that problem with some photos of which ones you'll want to freshen up.

Yeah they look like platinum, one is slightly yellowed. Also, one of them I sometimes need to smack a couple of times to get the crt on. Any ideas what the problem is? Just a loose…

Even more impressive is that you got two keyboards and two external hard drives!! Are they both platinum?

Well done! That's what I call a good trade!

haha outstanding!!!! now all you need to do is get over and pick you up a Floppy Emu/HD20 Emu and a 1meg Re-Writeable rom disk kit. http://www.bigmessowires.com/macintosh-floppy…

Indeed! Good job! c

Nice trade.

I traded a PM G5 I had for two full 4MB Mac Plus systems with someone on craigslist. { "lightbox_close": "Close", "lightbox_next": "Next", "lightbox_previous": "Pr…

I still have my Video Spigot card.  It was a very cool thing to have back in the day, being able to run anything on Macintosh screen. Since no adapter seems to exists, looks like …

No. As far as I know, nobody ever made a PDS to dual NuBus adapter, and if someone did, you'd need an extended case, like the one you pictured. If you could run a second NuBus car…

Back in the old day, Macintosh LC had very limited space and was limited to either 2 dlsk drives (original LC) or 1 disk drive and 1 hard drive, no internal CD or other drive optio…

Leopard flies on the G5, but obviously it's useless if you want to run Classic.

Yeah I agree. I have decided quite easily to make this now my main desktop machine and as you can see, cleared the desk for it. I am quite impressed just how easy it is to make thi…

Well, it kinda depends on if you want to run Classic, or just OSX as a "modern" computer.

So its not worth installing 10.5.x on a G5?

Well, since the newest G5s (including the Quads) were released well before Leopard was released, contemporary versions of Tiger ought to work, and indeed, EveryMac says that they s…

Yes - I did find that out last night as well. My G5 came with 10.5.8 installed.

Yes you can but the only supported version of 10.4 on a G5 (at least quad core) is 10.4.11. Anything else crashes and creates panics. Don't waste your Saturday like I did trying to…

You can run Classic Mode in OS X on a G5, correct?

with dual LCDs for $100. I may have been able to find a better deal, maybe I got screwed Click to expand... A pretty good deal, the dual screens are worth the $ 100 anyway
