Wow! Great Conquest, the SuperDrive versions are SUUPPPPERR rare! They were called FDHD's before.

Cool thanks for the info Byrd! Will these ever dry? Or should I just scrape it all off?

4 meg of memory and a 40 meg HD!! I guess that would make it an SE 4/40? It's a little slow for System 7, but it runs. The small screen is sharp and bright. Eric :beige:

but it's just so bizzare cos the computer will see the cd rom, but not the hard drives... Click to expand... Get "SCSI Probe" onto the case. It will tell you exactly what the c…

I got the 840av working and had two hard drives... a faithfull 4.3 gig and a 1.2 Gb. But the smaller drive kept on being there one time, but then not being seen the next. So I ass…

My PowerBook has done this for a loooong time now, but only tonight have I managed to snap some clear shots of this phenomena occuring. Wake the machine from sleep sometimes and ev…

Nice score, if anything the passive matrix screen in PB150's isn't bad. The "melting plastic" would be what's left of the worn out case feet I've come across a few PBs with th…

Not that I've ever seen a Mac in Calvin and Hobbes.

It sounds like you have a SCSI ID issue (assuming I've interpreted what you said properly). If that's the case, you can usually fix it by changing 3 jumpers on the back of the har…

I got an 840av... swapped bits from an old one and got it working... But now it's not working, well it mostly is... I seem to have upset the scsi gods. It was using the hard dri…

I'm not sure. But it seemed fitting at the time.

Uh, Christopher, what does that have to do with PowerBooks running in "lid closed" mode?

After getting some replies for old iMacs (Which I have no use for. Feel free to take them, post to FreeCycle NYC) I finally got an interesting reply. A Woman asked if I took lap…

Many of the PPC PowerBooks has "lid closed mode" officially supported. The consumer-oriented iBooks did not officially support it; but the entire Intel line of MacBooks does.

Well, I've ran my Pismo like this for the entire week so far and no problems have come up. I can use OS9 and OSX Tiger without a glitch and no overheat issues, either. I have an …

Also to add, it is a good idea to "bless" the System Folder, once the disk image is copied to a floppy disk. It's real simple to do; just open and close the System Folder itself i…

With all the issues they had, even back when they were new, I'd imagine that a working 1710 series display would be rather hard to find nowadays.

I'm a little confused as to the advice being given here ... First, what kind is your hard drive and what is it attached to presently? To use the 1.0 disk image, you need a Mac th…

Those dates indicated System 1.1g (the May 1984) Indeed, there is a "cleaner" .img file out there which has all of the original dates.

Oh man... I had that monitor for years until it went *pop* one day and never worked again. It was a BEAST to move around for LAN parties & whatnot, but I LOVED that monitor…

Now I just gotta get room for it all. Click to expand... If you say so. Nice little conquest, it's like the broken eMac I picked up just for the combo drive in it.

I picked up a broken quick silver yesterday for the handles I needed for my quick silver inside the qs was a superdrive, zip drive and a ati rage card got that for 10 bucks then th…

So it's just the individual files. You need a Mac with an 800k drive, select single sided when you format the disks. I have no idea how you "bless" the system file. The floppies …

This guy seems to be selling copies of system 1.1 on blank 400k disks. I don't trust this though. floppies
