It's the ratio of how desirable/rare the item(s) were, compared to how much money was dispensed, multiplied by the total number of items received.

So I've been thinking. What is an EPIC OMG ELEVENTY Conquest, and what is a small conquest. How do we categorize these conquests? I read a thread about a Mac Plus conquest with …

It may not be quite the only alternative. 1. You could presumably run it from an external SCSI hard drive. 2. You might, with a little ingenuity, manage to configure and run it t…

Is there some way that I can run my Powerbook 540c without a HD? All three of my scsi drives will not work, so the only alternative I have is running off a floppy. Does anyone kn…

Thanks you all. I know a Mac Plus isn't the most remarkable of conquests, but I thought it'd be fun to document it like this for a change. And I came to the conclusion that I shou…

recently i got my hands on a 2001 QS 733 with a vile ati rage 128 pro card with a piddly 16 mb ram and the rage 128 just decided to die ...typical as it happens i…

Note that I wrote all that from the top of my head, so I might have gotten a few details wrong or maybe even forgotten a step somewhere. I also left a couple of things open for you…

And then after reaching that number, the counter overflows and goes back to zero automatically. It's the same problem the Unix timestamp will face in 2038 on 32-bit computers.

Formatting a high-density 1.44M floppy as a single- or double-density 400k/800k floppy works well enough, but you won't be able to reformat it back to 1.44M if you ever need to. Yo…

What version of the system is it? A IIci needs at least 6.0.4 to run. It could be that the startup disk was made for a particular Mac model. If you made it for, say, a Plus, it wi…

Speaking of Usenet, where is comp.sys.mac.vintage or the equivalent? I've already got comp.sys.apple2. :-* Click to expand... It's actually quite amazing how CSA2 manages to …

With the tape trick, I just had to get a whole bunch of 1.4 disks and eventually I found one that worked as 800k when taped. Good luck.

Hi, I am looking for the where abouts of Kris Kirk. He was mention a few times in the Hard Core Computist. He was also friends with the Sysop there as well. I just checked with …

I just got a 575 a couple of weeks ago from AnalogKid. I love it, the screen is crisp and it with After Dark running it has been a great distraction for my new kitten. :lol:

In my book, the Color Classic or G3 AIO wins the "fugly" contest. Click to expand... I like the CC. I just wish it could do 640x480 standard. The "Mystic" CC with VGA hack is…

I always thought that the 575's were the fugliest macs ever. Click to expand... In my book, the Color Classic or G3 AIO wins the "fugly" contest.

Sweet deal! I used LC 5xxs at school often.

I always thought that the 575's were the fugliest macs ever. But I really would not mind owning one and especially at that price! The Price is right!

I have loads of 1.4mb floppies. I'll try Taping the whole. formatting as 800k, then formatting as 400k Probably will not work. But lets see.

So the floppy drive on my IIci is acting up. When I insert a good boot disk, it just sits there with the "?". No X, no "This installer will not work with this Macintosh", etc. Wha…

8. EBAY LINKS. I feel we should not post eBay links at all since it often leads to discussions about the seller and even it doesn't, it will often lead to something negative about …

I've always thought the LC575 is the best looking AIO...there's just something about it thats....just so right.

My LC 575 (well, Performa 578 if you want to get technical) gets daily use. As beachycove said, it's practically silent. I love it! From an aesthetic point of view, it's one of my …

I think they were great machines. Some do not like them from an aesthetic point of view, but in the flesh (plastic?), they actually look a great deal like the Color Classic. The sc…

If it works anything like the Amiga you can format a 1.4mb to 800k (and maybe 400k too). Just tape over the hole so it behaves like a double-density disk. Years ago I did that all …
