Any chance of selling the TiBook cheap? I have been wanting a TiBook for a while...

Well, that was a productive bit of archaeology!

Alright, in my cleaning effort, (nearly) all of my PowerBooks have been dug out. I have found the following: Macintosh Portable, Backlit: Dead. Documented in my sale thread. (A…

Woah! Nice collection there alk!

Apart from the LCD, what's "souped up"? Click to expand... The LCD is nice, sure. The PowerBook Mustang is somewhere between a 5300 and a 1400. (Interestingly, my copy of "Ap…

One issue with even introducing PPC G1-era Macs is that because they have so much more capability, there could be a tendency for them to dominate retrochallenge. Considering I keep…

the old ones are pretty easy to develop for, so instead of killing people all day you could make math blaster for intellivision or maybe a telnet client on a atari 2600

games system wise - what would people be doing with them? playing space invaders for a month instead of call of duty?

I would say anything pre 3d

I dunno- I think that's pushing it. Pre-Pentium sounds about right to me. As for game systems, make the cutoff be by bit count on the main processor. 8 bit, say. That would keep th…

Christmas came sort of early for me this year, well last year now. I gots my hands on a 17 inch iMac (G4/800), a snow iBook (G3/800), and a Bondi iMac (G3/233). The Bondi's drive…

M6498 I suspect it may have been opened up before, an upgrade prior to delivery to the original owner? As it has 512 Megs of RAM, 256/256. Course I want to take it to the maximu…

The takeapart is really not too bad. You're right about the PSU in them though, they can be a little meagre. Which model of iMac do you have?

Finally a look at the tools we should actually have.

These are very nice machines. I got given one a few weeks ago. A mate was having a clean out and I got lucky. My machine has issues though, the pro speakers won't work for some …

Here is a link of some pictures, that I took when I overhauled one of my 7100's. Although the pictures don't give you step by step instructions, they should give you an idea what…

The rule regarding games/pdas is the result of sheer laziness and ignorance on my part... there just isn't a convenient cut-off as there is with computers. If anyone has any ideas …

Beats me, mate. I don't write the song, I just sing it Still, if the 6100/66av were allowed, I'd resurrect mine in a heartbeat!

PPC ist verboten. Click to expand... If 10-year-old game systems make the cut, why not a 15-year-old computer? (Heck, a Quadra 840 may very well be faster for many tasks than …

PPC ist verboten, mein freund: 2. In order to qualify, computer systems must use a pre-pentium processor... in general, this means 486 or below, 680x0 and pretty much everyt…
