Don't believe everything you read on the internet - the Classic is awesome, no matter what anyone says. Make sure you're using system 6 and not 7 for a speedy and enjoyable experi…

Greetings, long time listener, first time caller here. Well, I've been lurking for several months now and I finally have a compelling reason to register and post. I've been a Mac u…

Picked it up from a friend since I am working on this project (Quadra 840AV, follow link to see the rest) Works great. It looks like a good pic believe it or not, despite having …

What you really want is an old, but undeveloped design. Well, at least that's what I want, what I really, really want … to make out of the spare parts I have from a plastics-chall…

Hi! I've been thinking. The only real way to make sure we still have powerbook 5XX machines that aren't in a million pieces for any meaningful amount of time is to make a new enclo…

Also - will the machine be upset when I remove sys enabler 401 out while the system is runnig? Click to expand... The best thing to do would be to remove System Enabler 401, th…

Good Luck! Let us know how it goes!

Thanks for the responses. I had seen a bunch of those webpages when searching myself, but it is a comfort to be redirected to them by people who know more and still trust the webs…

A little tip - if you're going to keep it running System 7.1 after you install the LC575 logic board, make sure that you've placed a copy of the System Enabler 065 into the System …

Somehow I'm pretty sure I managed to score a working LC575 motherboard with an ethernet card onboard, and it is supposed to arrive in the mail later this week! It has been a dream …

I like them both, personally. As for the "Teardrop" mice (Apple Desktop Bus Mouse II), I find that the older ones have a better click to them...probably because the newer ones have…

I hated those mice, so uncomfortable. Give me a tear drop mouse any day of the week. Click to expand... My opinion on that is of the complete opposite - the feel of the button …

Good work. Must feel nice to use it.

Good to see another LC back up and going. The case looks to be in very good condition.

Nice work. Looks good on your desk. I hated those mice, so uncomfortable. Give me a tear drop mouse any day of the week.

This one should have been relatively easy. I have to admit though, it took a few hours to make it work properly. I liberated this machine ages ago in a non-working state, but only …

Alright, I'm sure that I can use the caddy in a IIcx now. Thanks everybody!

Olde-mac-milt usually carries HDD cradles for the IIci/IIcx/Q700, which he groups together. I have one of each of those Macs, and can verify that they use a common (with minor var…

The IIci and IIcx do use the same kind of mount, 700 should also since it is in a IIcx type of case.

Alright, thanks. I really want to secure the hard drive so I can run the Macintosh IIcx sideways without worries.

Probably so. They're not needed, in any case, unless you just like having the hard drive secured.
