Yep, Scott was kind enough to sell me the Macintosh IIci that he conquested a bit back. It is indeed a horrible paint job, but it scrapes off easily. Works great too!

I know it sucks but clean up your room, theres 1 con to 2 pro's con: you have to clean up your room pro 1: you can have another mac pro 2: your room wont smell like old pizza, a…

she means the giant trash bags.

Well just use small bags?

Well, first my grandma has to make sure it isn't needed, then... "You'll have to get *at least* 2 bags of trash out of your room before I let you get *another* computer" : I o…

That is a really nice 9500. I agree, room must be found! Best of luck. Perhaps making or sourcing some new storage shelves and tidying up the existing collection would help it a…

Very powerful

Thank you for the replies. I'm glad to hear they are easy to work on. I am currently procrastinating from replacing a 2400c HD as I understand they are anything but user friendly. …

They are very easy to work on. Some of em use IDE HDs, And yes 7.5 is best for that. My Powerbook 150 ran 7.5.3 like greased soap. Click to expand... Only one of them does; the…

...looking at me through my PowerBook screen with a big sad title, "FOR PARTS." I am of course talking about a mint PowerBook 180 in unknown condition because of the ever-present …

using an external drive. I have considered that, but doing so would partly take away the "all-in-one," compact nature of the machine - one of its attractions to me...But you did pi…

I've been "running out of room" for 5 years, and I continue to bring in 6 computers for every 1 that I sell.

My mom probebly won't let me ("You don't have room...") Click to expand... Well make room for it goddamnit, its a 9500! Surely you've got something that you can get rid of?

Thanks for the tips on hard drives in the SE, Mac128. I guess that it hadn't occurred to me that they were the first with internal hard drives. Makes sense that it probably require…

Oh, and how do you get out the harddrive and stuff from it? If I can't keep the whole thing, I might as well strip it.

What is this on this 512k?Its in the second picture over the power button. Looks like SCSI to me. Click to expand... You got it! Since it doesn't appear to be a 512ke, (were t…

Yes that is a common SCSI upgrade to the 512K, designed to replace the battery cover. It required an upgrade to 128K ROMs and most likely has 800K drive upgrade as well. The Plus d…
