I'm not going to criticise System7's farewell thread because I think it includes a valuable piece of advice. I see collecting as having two negative consequences. It reduces the …

1. I'm living on campus. I have limited SPACE, and even if I had the space, the only computers I have that have video input (a Performa 5260 and an LC630) are at home, about 200 mi…

Why not just clean it then store it properly? Click to expand... cause you can buy a billion of them for 10 dollars

Why not just clean it then store it properly? Click to expand... Because it is blank.

I personally am thinking of bidding on the PowerBook 100 one. The only trouble is that I'm living on campus at uni, and while I have access to high speed Internet here, I don't hav…

"But why should i throw out that Cd-R with bacteria colonies growing on it? I might need it sometime..." Click to expand... That you can throw out.

Um... "But why should i throw out that Cd-R with bacteria colonies growing on it? I might need it sometime..."

My thoughts are, "Meh, I have it, might as well keep it in case I need it. It'll be a PITA to find another one if I throw it out." Hence things tend to pile up quickly.

The Macintosh IIfx relies on both batteries to start up unfortunately. Mike Richardson (forum member here) sells them for cheap though and ships internationally. Check out his…

Good luck, but I'm sure you'll be back. I'm a bit of a hoarder myself, (lots of "useless" spare parts) but I'm trying to find the space to have all my systems set up and functionin…

Goodbye. Though I don't see any point in completely disappearing. I remember one user that disappeared but came back. coughimac600cough. I do relate to the hoarding issue. For a wh…

What does the other battery do? Couldn't I just switch the working battery with the not working one? Just to check if the machine still works... BTW, I live in Norway. They never …

Well, the seller does say "most likely NTSC". You might want to ask him why he thinks that. /ETA/ I have a broadcast quality VHS PAL (and possibly NTSC) dubbing deck here. If y…

BTW, the batteries can be found at eBay or any electronics store.

No it will not, one of the batteries is used to turn the machine on and that is the one that dies first. I have a pair of IIfx and a pair of IIx machines so I know. Make sure you …

Hehe I know it's Nubus I'm not used to write Nubus, hehe So you won't worry? A IIfx won't boot without good batteries?

The dead battery needs replace or the unit will not turn on, nothing to worry about (except you said you removed PCI cards from a Nubus machine).

I had bought some new equipment for my IIfx for connecting it to internet. I hadn't used it for about two years and it worked perfectly then, and now it won't start No boot soun…

Goodbye, I guess. To be honest, I'm not a fan of the goodbye threads...Seems really attention-whoreish, in my opinion. I'm probably the only one that feels this way, though. Cli…

Shred, were your tapes NTSC or PAL? If Apple shipped PAL tapes to Australia (the prudent choice), then I have no business bidding on this. I really don't want to dig up the old P…
