Basically when state entities such as universities, schools, offices, etc get finished with things like desks, chairs, projectors, computers, and so on they enter the surplus syste…

I just got a Classic II and it seems I might need to replace the caps too. I haven't the tools to open it yet so I don't know what's inside. What capacitors (type and quantity) wou…

It did not expand the lower resolutions to fit the display, it just displayed the resolutions using only one real pixel per one visible pixel and had massive black borders around t…

The memory alone costs about $250 new on Dealram. He also said "1.4 TB HDD's" which I assume means two of them (and probably 1.5 TB as I've never seen 1.4 TB). Those are over $100…

That is indeed a very respectable first conquest. Well done, soldier!

Ditto } What is this "surplus" of which you speak?

A 128 can read & write to an 800K external drive. A 1.4 drive won't work. When I got my Mac in 1984, one of the first upgrades I made was to stick an 800K mechanism from an…

Yeah, I remember back in 1999 I went to an Apple Roadshow event they had here, where they used to demo the new stuff that had recently come out (in this case, it was the slot load …

The second generation Wallstreets were the ones that could drop video down to 640x480 and 800x600 if needed (a bit blocky at 640x480). Click to expand... It did not expand the …

$1000+ for a dual 2.0GHz model?? You guys must be joking right? I've seen QUAD core models selling under $1000 since BEFORE 10.6 came out. Just this past summer I watched a quad…

Yeah, the SE FDHD upgrade involved replacing the IWM chip with a SWIM chip, as you said, as well as replacement ROMs.

1500.00? WOW!!! I didn't think it would be that much... I posted it up on craigslist for 800.00 then lowered it to 600.00 and I got no-shows. Then I was looking at it and I'm like …

When you install Leopard on a PPC Mac, does it even install any x86 code? And vice-versa? I know the Applications folder will have Universal apps, but what about the actual OS guts…

The best native video card you can get for it is the 7800GT 256MB. I believe this was only ever sold as a BTO option on a new dual core G5 so they're quite hard to find. You can f…

OK, it does sound like the drive has a problem. Do you have a cleaning disk? Do you have a working external floppy drive or one you can borrow to test the motherboard interface? Do…

The two major issues with compacts is capacitors dying and screen burn/focus problems. I find it odd how Apple went from expandable SE/SE30's to a Classic 2 with no expansion what…

The Classic II is a great little unit. Very sleek looking for a basic box. Very usable for a lot of writing jobs. Adding a newer harddrive will speed things along. When you d…

The original 128 and 512 could do very little animation because of the lack of memory. About the only option was MacroMind's VideoWorks, which allowed animating a small software sp…

The original SE (4 SIMMs are angled) doesn't have much clearance for the motherboard, a SE30 with the 8 SIMM slots (that stick straight out) will not fit. The difference between a …

Well, I'VE got a PB100 trick up MY SLEEVE too! It seems, in their infinite idiocy, that Epson left out support for the 68000 when they wrote the drivers for the original Epson Sty…

My 13" 292Mhz Wallstreet acts up once every few months for a second and thats it (video), it is probably the fastest stock Wallstreet made because of the 83Mhz bus speed. The secon…

Does your Rev. 2 B&W still have the good old fashioned serial port/modem port Click to expand... Yep. I was just looking at that port the other day thinking "Now what a…

I would like to have a 1.44 MB floppy, but I think I read somewhere that it would require a logic board upgrade, and then I wouldn't be able to use a second built-in floppy. Can an…
