The original SE (4 SIMMs are angled) doesn't have much clearance for the motherboard, a SE30 with the 8 SIMM slots (that stick straight out) will not fit. The difference between a …

I would like to have a 1.44 MB floppy, but I think I read somewhere that it would require a logic board upgrade, and then I wouldn't be able to use a second built-in floppy. Can an…

Very nice! There's just something about these compact Macs that you can't describe until you use one. You could get addicted to them. I like how the external fits nicely under the …

I spotted that auction! Great job on the conquest!

I have that same Rodime drive on my Plus... it is indeed quite loud.

Yesterday I saw that they still had an LCIII, WGS 6150, LC, Color Classic, and SE on sale for $10 a pop in the back. Go Austin Computer Works! Click to expand... OMG, ARE YOU O…

I went back today. I think you confused the Classic for a Color Classic. Everything else listed is still there. I would like a classic mac, but I want one I can add ethernet to. I…

If they have a color classic, I think I will make space for that. Actually I have a use for it. I may swing by this afternoon and see if it is still there.

@Redjack: Wait, you walked away from a $10 Colour Classic? :O 8-o :?:

I didn't see the Color Classic when I was there; maybe they brought it out after I cleared the shelf. I remember a couple years ago I saw a Color Classic set there for the bargain…

I was there yesterday and two weeks ago (visited my bro)! Last time, I got a IIci but decided against the IIsi and the LCIII, glad they went to good homes. When I was there Yesterd…

Mostly it is because I have too much clutter in the house and I don't have a good place to set it up. I figured I would let another collector give it a good home, instead of just …

I picked them up on Sunday. Someone should go and get the LC II, LC, WGS 6150, Classic, and SE that I didn't have room for; I'm lucky my girlfriend isn't shunning me as it is, and…

Hey when were you there? I was there on Saturday and saw those items. I thought about picking up the Atari ST, but decided against it.

If we could only get Houston ComputerWorks to do the same thing. I'm always seeing at least one old Mac in the back due to get chopped.

You guys are probably right. I was pretty much certain my memories were wrong, but anyway. I hadn't seen a SE/30 since that one when I got mine a couple of weeks ago, so I thought …

Minutes after posting I found this, and thought it would fit on topic…

Oh, okay. Guess I was wrong about the C1 being replaced. Since it didn't look like the other capacitors, I just assumed it was a replacement made by some other company...oh well.…

If MacPlayMate is simply a runtime engine for Comic Works or Video Works or whatever, there's an opportunity for fun. Click to expand... It is, for VideoWorks. And it is fun… …

That C1 is the same exact C1 cap used in some of my newer "stock condition" analog boards, all with factory hot-glue applied: 630-0102-E 661-0462 And here is an unmodif…

really the main point of hot glue is to hold the larger / top heavy components in place as they scurry down a convener belt during assembly Secondary it provides a little bit of p…

Under 18s: please move on. Mike Saenz wrote the ever entertaining MacPlayMate and Wikipedia associates him with authorship of Comic Works. My twenty year old recollection of MacPl…

Using hot glue is advised if the computer is going to experience a lot of vibration. In an ordinary home desktop environment, it's unlikely that you'll need to use glue. I have a f…
