Not sure if anyone else has mentioned this directly, but the early Dual USB iBooks with Rage graphics did not suffer from the GPU problems that the later Radeon models did. In fact…

Congratulations on that iBook G3! The 500 or 600MHz (Rage128) models are the pair of dualUSB iBooks I'll still admit to having wanted when they were new, and I'll also admit I woul…

Well, spanking it, dropping it and tapping it gently with a sledgehammer didn't help. Salvation came in the form of a PB160 with a bad screen that generously donated its hard…

I have two 150's here that have entire sections of the screens dead. They partially work, but those dead areas make it impossible to really use them. Click to expand... I have …

I have a ton of old Thinkpads with great screens from the mid 1990's, yet a few newer with some pink or dead bulbs. If I had to guess I think the older smaller screens had bulbs th…

TjJazer, Try rebooting the SE/30 off of the floppy drive. Then run Disk First Aid or Apple SC HD Setup or some type of equivalent hard drive utility program. We just need to che…

OK my spare SE/30 is having a major problem! I think it's the SCSI chip. Which is not socketted! It will hang on boots and reboot, and after messing with it, SCSI is dead on the…

System Picker you say? Never heard of that before. Tell me more... Click to expand... These two links tell all: LEM "System 6 or 7?" Macintosh Garden System Picker Download…

But there's no need to just worry over it. Just put System 6 and 7 on your machine and switch between them as needed! That's what I do via System Picker. It's easy and convenien…

There were "mainstream and popular games" for System 6 as well as System 7. You will be surprised at what still runs under System 6. For example, Deneba Canvas 3.5 runs wonderful…

Oh and is there any reason to go with System 7 over 6.0.8? I don't know how the compatibility is with games. I know some games need System 7 and I assume some won't work with any…

Bumping my old topic. I may pull out my SE/30 to replace my Classic now. I've noticed that some games play alright on the Classic, but they're slooow. For example, I was play…

We now simply need someone here on 68kMLA to kindly deyellow our poor icon whose ALT text name is "beige smiley": :beige:

is it possible I have a beige Plus? Mine looks like a typical Plus and the back reads "Macintosh Plus, 1 MB." 14th week of 1987 in Fremont, CA. Click to expand... Yes. The 198…

The coating was always the same metallic color. At no point was the inside matte or any other color. The only noticeable change was the peeling. Sanding it down helped, although i…

I think for a while Apple had a plant in India where they churned out LCIIs, near the plant that churned out 1950's Morris Minors long after they were discontinued. Ask any PC sysa…

I think you meant 1986 and 1987. That would be COOL to have a Mac Plus from 1997! Click to expand... Nope. Didn't you know that Apple had a factory in Mexico next to the Volks…

How can they yellow? Click to expand... Only the 1996 Pluses. The entire Apple line switched to corporate Platinum by 1997 Click to expand... I think you meant 1986 and 1987.…

I always recommend a mid wattage iron, the idea goes: With a low wattage iron on larger parts (ie battery cases) the iron can not keep up with the heat sinking ability of the objec…
