Dude, I would highly recommend the Retr0brite. Its awesome!! All my Classic Macs are white now! Get Clairol Pro 40 cream developer and a brush. Clean the case well with Simple…
I'd like to clean the case on my classic II, what is the recommended procedure for doing so?
It's mostly just grimy, but it does have 4 distinct areas where apparently old Apple s…
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 also noticed there is a dealer selling new G3 500 upgrades for the 7500 et al Macs for $199.95. That's kinda stupid since Sonnet still has stock of those for $50. 8-o

Not bad! I could use one of those in my beige G3, but I'm too cheap.

This is the one for the earlier Macs, not the G3 ZIF socket. There was a 1ghz upgrade fo…
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.

I don't know if an emulator might work. Hal said he thought it wouldn't wouldn't. A few years back I did try two of the more popular emulators with no success. And I have been told…
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…

I would be worried about the machines bouncing around in the trunk waiting for you to sneak them in the house.

They tend not to bounce when they're packed so…

Another thing is the heat as well...not such a problem in Winter, but in the middle of Summer it gets bloody hot in a car boot...my Dad leaves his work laptop in the boot of his ca…
Ok, I received the AUI to RJ-45 adapter yesterday. Tonight I put my Dayna ethernet card in my SE/30, spent some time through the web to find a working image of the Dayna drivers fl…

I wish Li-Ion batteries were possible for the 1400...sigh.

IIRC they are, but you'd need to hack the 1400 somehow so it wouldn't try to charge them (or just …

I have the wireless cards...you can text surf (using WannaBe) and pull up the low-demand BBC website, that's about all I can do without pulling my hair out. But it was fun to get w…

I saw in an older thread that you worked with Gamba on the IIfx also.

All I recall is discussing the IIfx ROM with him. It's possible I've forgotten, but as…
Does that one SE have a SuperDrive floppy or is it 800K? If it's SuperDrive, then you will save yourself half the battle; 800K floppies can be done, but you'll run into many brick…
I'm not sure which "look" I prefer. I mostly used Apple with monochrome monitors, so I recall the spacing. However, when using Apple2Forever, the large gaps detract some from the…
