Congrats! You now have a very rare piece of apple hardware! I was going to say to lower the price to 40$ as I think that is the golden price before something gets to expensive. I…

see it here http: Click to expand... Yes, and that is most definitely a Mac Plus, so Gene didn't donate his Mac! I always thought that scene was funny, that he has such facili…

Where can I download it (it looks like it's freeware, all I could find is the OS 8 version from Mac Hut)? It would be useful to strip useless PowerPC code from FAT binaries on my L…

Thanks fellas. I went ahead and offered $40 for it, and he accepted. As it turns out, he's a collector too and has a COMPLETE Macintosh TV with original box, remote, documentation…

Oh yeah...I've wondered about the same thing myself. I remember back in the mid 1990's I used to use a program called "I Love Native!" to strip useless PowerPC code from FAT binari…

You know, the one where transparent aluminum was used for critical parts in Macs used by NASA and the US Military. Click to expand... Whaaaa?!?! I've never heard of this!!! 8-…

Why not! But are there ever "definitive" instructions for any specific mod? I mean, when I started the Macminitosh I spent a lot of time on the web looking for similar projects, a…

But I'm definitely not the only one who did this. Look around, you'll find some other similar projects. Click to expand... I'm thinking we should start a list of these on the w…

David Gilmour has the Fender Stratocaster with serial 000001, but it wasn't the first one made.

I was born and raised in Fresno. There was no Apple Computer assembly in my home town, let me tell you. But then again... Perhaps Fresno was the location of Apple's secret facto…

I did, and as JRL said, all the info can be found in the thread he pointed out. And we also talked about it here: http://68kmla.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=11021. The id…

Serial number 0001, the first Macintosh Plus given to Gene Roddenberry? That crafty Apple, getting their product placed in Star Trek IV like that. But which came first, the chicken…

Guess not? Well take a gander at the piccies and decide if it's worth looking into: Here are the unimplemented pads on the DuoDock II MLB: Here is a shot of the Duo MiniDock's …

Oh, well... i knew he would nuke it sometime... ...Which is why I kept a backup!

Because it's easier just to nuke it, rather than weed out what ever's not PD, freeware, or shareware. :-/

It looks like ~tl deleted the "Macintosh Software" wiki page!

I'd grab it. As Mike said, Mac TVs themselves are far from common. Only 10,000 were made, maybe a quarter of which would still exist today, and they were never sold outside of the …

. . . since you've got the 300 Mhz board in the 5400, there's nothing that the 6500 really has to offer that the 5400 doesn't, apart from a tower enclosure, one extra PCI slot, …

Monolingual.app will remove Intel or PPC code as well as unwanted languages. From the terminal, ditto will also remove an architecture. For example to thin iTunes: • cd /Applicat…

I think 9.5.1 added the LBA48 support. It seems to be the minimum one if you want to boot a MDD anyway. Not sure what other fixes the later ROMs had (but I guess the newer the bet…

Just don't try the Griffin Technology's iMic. I already tried and it doesn't work under OS9.x or earlier. There aren't many USB audio interfaces that work with Classic Mac OS ver…

After a long an arduous few hours of almost totally dismantling the 500 just to replace the hard disk and putting it back together it worked. Briefly. The problem now is the scree…

the best way is to look at the thing and get anything written on it

Some of the posts above indicate sources of Mac OS ROM 10.2.1 that I was unaware of, and wouldn't have been accessible when I was trying to get a useful installation of OS 9.2.2 go…
