Small score: PB100 — #9

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 Click t…

Not bad! I could use one of those in my beige G3, but I'm too cheap. Click to expand... This is the one for the earlier Macs, not the G3 ZIF socket. There was a 1ghz upgrade fo…

Kurzweil K150fs - anybody use a ][ for SMP? — #6

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…

Screen longevity — #14

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

I wish Li-Ion batteries were possible for the 1400...sigh. Click to expand... IIRC they are, but you'd need to hack the 1400 somehow so it wouldn't try to charge them (or just …

Help getting System 7 on to Floppy with Windows — #4

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…
