If you must have PPC and more then 3 Nubus slots a 950 with a Daystar upgrade is the easier to get (then you get 4 free Nubus slots). I did this for my AVID systems. A 9150 would b…

I made it up into the attic a few weeks ago, and there are, indeed, three 91xxs in there. One of them seems to have some broken bits to the casing as the side panel doesn't want …

How long since you lasted boot the 8100? I ask because the problem could be that the heat sink grease between the CPU and the heat sink has dried out and is no longer doing its j…

my goal is to make a SCSI system like they did back then with 128K ROM. but i am going to code an Atmega128 to emulate the 5380 SCSI controller and the SCSI drive interface, so i c…

Your system can only use 32 meg SIMMs as two banks of 16 meg. Since 64 meg SIMMs are a single bank, you're just seeing memory in one of the two banks, hence 16 megs. Click to ex…

Holy heck dude :O I feel for ya buddy - I tend to have the opposite reaction - the crazier life gets, the more I show up here for my daily dose of (relative) sanity. Glad to h…

Whaaaat. Jealous - nice score on the SE and SE/30. I really want an SE for some stupid reason. You had better hack the poop out of them.

Remember System 7 was the first users had to pay for too, so many Classic users opted out. Click to expand... Actually 7.1 was the first release where Apple actually began char…

Hey guys! Another conquest, a few days old, but still fresh enough imo. First the pictures, then some of the stuff that didn't make it through the photography. - BBEdit 4.5 (I'd…

Oh yeah, I can't believe I forgot about that - the keyboard. Thats another thing I love about the 1400...it has one of the best laptop keyboards I've ever typed on, out of the hund…

Aaaarrrggghhh! So I completely tore down the system and re-assembled it, even managing to put in a few screws I had missed on the first go around. The system booted up jus…

Well, crap. After careful disassembly and reassembly, the iBook will not power on. { "lightbox_close": "Close", "lightbox_next": "Next", "lightbox_previous": "Pre…

Yea, that entry level config also didn't have any hard drive built-in and was simply to replace the Plus period at a lower price ...There was a better more expensive config with th…

Sorry about posting the history lesson. I was trying to show that despite the Classic I and II being the successor to the Plus, SE/SE FDHD and SE/30, the latter isn't as stripped …

Err, again, my Tiger install discs are CDs - a set of four.

However, it left a gaping hole where the SE was, and I believe it actually ran slower than the older technology. Click to expand... I think it ran at the same speed at the SE, …

don't buy the 1.4MB drive as an upgrade feature, it had been around for 2 years at that point, and actually saved them money not to have buy obsolete 800K drives, or support them. …

It also shipped with only 1MB RAM. Anybody who tried to get by with that small amount too long for the entry price, found themselves out of luck if they needed to upgrade since it …

And on the original Classic, it was to finally replace the Plus from 1986 Click to expand... Yes, and on that front it was absolutely a step up. However, it left a gaping hole …

There is enough interest in the 660/840av models to not recycle a working one. Somebody will gladly trade you a CPU for one. You would be surprised how ugly dirty cases with some …

And on the original Classic, it was to finally replace the Plus from 1986, which was the last Mac still produced that still use the 800K floppy and the old keyboard/mouse interface…

Halfway through the clone process, my Sawtooth kernel panics. :O Well tonight I am going to tear down the iBook. I will be replacing it's CD-ROM with a DVD/CD-RW drive pulled …

GAH! Don't discard an AV. There are plenty of people who would take that off your hands, even sans CPU! It can always be used to capture 320x240 video from a VCR. Whenever I di…

Just picked up a Quadra 660AV. I was going to pop the CPU out of it to drop into a Quadra 605 I have. I thought I would play with it for a few minutes. It looked very dusty an…

you can put the ibook into target disk mode, and use the sawtooth to clone from the sawtooth's HD
