Well, it depends on your definition of 'conquest', first. To me, there are three categories: 1. Something you purchased. For any price. I'd call these "a conquest", because you…

I was considering that myself, but that would leave a rather unsightly hole I would assume... I'd much rather have it all-original Click to expand... Well, you could always nic…

I would almost advise you to remove those upgrades and bring it back to its original state, just out of principle. Click to expand... Click to expand... I was considering th…

You can see in the 2nd photo there is an extra port on the back, looks like parallel/SCSI/something? Not too familiar with these. He thought the memory had been upgraded as well, b…

Not bad at all (ps thats a SCSI port)

Just finished cleaning off my latest find: An original Mac, upgraded a bit. This is my first pre-90's Macintosh, and I'm quite happy! Paid $40 for it, though it doesn't come with a…

I guess it depends on what you get into. Somebody who doesn't much like compacts won't think a conquest of a dozen SE/30's is a big deal while others would drool over it. Some peop…

For me, a mini-epic would be scoring a sealed box of 10 Apple-brand 400K floppy disks with the Picasso artwork, because they seldom come up for sale. Click to expand... That wo…

Yeah I agree. Yes Nico it was you. I do think a Mac Plus is epic because I don't have a working Compact (yet-- A 512k is on its way to me ) But I found a keyboard and mouse in …

OK, Well you know the IIcis I liberated? All of the Floppies that came with it (Except one- Macintosh Basics) Don't have that extra hole on the side. I have SUM (Symantec Utilit…

Which is why I think you can't really categorize conquests into distinct awesomeness-levels. Click to expand... For other people, that is. For yourself, then yes. I have defini…

LOL, that would've been me you're talking about. I guess the fact you bring this point up already proves that this is a very subjective thing. In my view, the Plus is a pretty com…

It's the ratio of how desirable/rare the item(s) were, compared to how much money was dispensed, multiplied by the total number of items received.

So I've been thinking. What is an EPIC OMG ELEVENTY Conquest, and what is a small conquest. How do we categorize these conquests? I read a thread about a Mac Plus conquest with …

Formatting a high-density 1.44M floppy as a single- or double-density 400k/800k floppy works well enough, but you won't be able to reformat it back to 1.44M if you ever need to. Yo…

With the tape trick, I just had to get a whole bunch of 1.4 disks and eventually I found one that worked as 800k when taped. Good luck.

I have loads of 1.4mb floppies. I'll try Taping the whole. formatting as 800k, then formatting as 400k Probably will not work. But lets see.

If it works anything like the Amiga you can format a 1.4mb to 800k (and maybe 400k too). Just tape over the hole so it behaves like a double-density disk. Years ago I did that all …

Purchased from AG Wolf on these forums, I have a Macintosh 512k coming my way!!! It works nicely, nice physical condition. Will get to see it either tomorrow or the day after. I ha…

"Lonely Mac Syndrome" was a phrase I coined, tongue-in-cheek, to describe this machine's odd behavior (also in initial post). Essentially, as long as I was working in a program, e…

Oh, that's the "glowstick IIci"! Good luck with it.

Oops! It just "burped" at me - a short, low (not bong) beep, and the cursor locked up, so still a problem with "Lonely Mac" syndrome. Maybe memory as Phreakout suggested earlier? …

If you've managed to scrape the paint off, I'd love to see an "after" picture!

My room doesn't smell like old pizza! But I think one of my cats coughed up a big, nasty hairball in my closet, and another peed on some stuff in my closet... And I don't hav…
