I've taken the topcase of an old G3 iBook without damaging it by shimming the plastic carefully with toothpicks. Mind you, you'll lose a few toothpicks this way, but they'll break…

Yeah, I paid something like $500 for the privilege of owning a 2c FPD and I think within an hour or two, I had already yanked off the clear plastic lens which made it a bit worse. …

The Radius GS TPD looks fantastic sittin' next to an SE, almost was attractive as the Radius FPD (the early ones w/o the tilt-swivel base) does. I've got some old Radius Brochures …

Nice find! I believe the error is memory related. It's not possible to boot the Macintosh without its full complement of memory, if I recall correctly, so your best bet would poss…

That's an Asante FriendlyNet II. I have the transceiver that goes with it in my hands as we speak. The transceiver, for some odd reason, has a second LED in addition to activity -…

heya Temetka! Yes, I got an SE FDHD and SE/30 on Thursday, which will get a seperate thread when I'm done with squeeing about having them. I'm going to build an uber-SE if I can. …

Great score on the CC. I myself have an SEFD so I can understand the compact lust. Minus the 2300 that I would love to have and possible a 660AV, the CC is on my top 5 list of ma…

Two 660AV's? Damn you to hell. }

It's no Genesis tower but it should do in a pinch. Kidding, it's a great machine. May it serve you well.

God I miss my Pismo. I traded it to Cory in a fit stupidity. Probably brought on by a large amount of alcohol and weed, but that is a discussion for..well...not here anyway. …

The outer case to me looks perhaps a little yellowed but overall not that bad. They were beige from the factory (Pantone 453) so it's probably not that far off. Maybe just needs a …

I find that my 170's LCD looks just as good as my Portable's. (Well, they did three years ago, anyway; the last time my 170 was out of storage, and the last time my Portable worke…

Supposedly that's the industry's first active matrix LCD. It certainly beats the B&W LCDs Apple shipped in the early PowerBooks. It also represented half the cost of the ma…

The reason Apple built the Classic line of Macintoshes was to corner the market on computers costing less than $1,500 USD. The problem with doing that is you end up releasing hard…

The only thing special about the SE/30 PDS video cards is that I happen to have three of them; odds are that one of them must still work. I also have a 20" Radius greyscale monitor…

But if you attach them to the back of the card, then the pinout is going to be in the wrong order ... Click to expand... The "flip counter-clockwise to match the Gamba drawings…

If it occurs at start-up, I'm guessing it's a hardware error. Looking at my book it seems that all the hardware errors are memory errors? Gonna guess at some problematic/dead memor…

Crickett, yes, I have powered every Compact Mac with every other compact Mac. Never for long periods, but simple mods in the power connectors allowed them to power on and function…

Lucky find, an original Mac.

I have no experience putting holes in plastic in a professional way. Click to expand... You need a Dremel tool. It's a relatively easy thing to do. A starter kit should be enou…

yuhong, I meant it's stunted in the sense that it did not improve on the SE/30, or the SE. Both Classics lowered the bar of what was expected from a Compact Mac. Crickett, yes, I …

Just found this little charmer. Yellowed as can be, and gives a "043420" error code when turned on. What I found interesting, though, was the "Maccessories Swivel" mounted to the…

I have at least one of these in my shed of random bits (pretty sure it is an Asante, definitely only has AAUI). I guess the theory could have been you only needed to buy a new tra…
