Yep, Scott was kind enough to sell me the Macintosh IIci that he conquested a bit back. It is indeed a horrible paint job, but it scrapes off easily. Works great too!

so really then, we have a bunch of oldies ( i generalize) who understand the community aspect and a bunch of newbies who 'dont get it' ? would that be a better way of framing it?…

Water can be perniciously persistent and penetrative. It can soak in under and between components and remain trapped in there for days until driven out by heat or dry air. When y…

You've got two choices - "Classic Networking" (using MacTCP) and Open Transport. Personally I'd use Open Transport, its newer, and far more easy to configure.

Wild, foot-stomping applause @ Mike and Trash80 above.

I know it sucks but clean up your room, theres 1 con to 2 pro's con: you have to clean up your room pro 1: you can have another mac pro 2: your room wont smell like old pizza, a…

I've changed the "View New Posts" link at the top of the page to exclude the Lounge Click to expand... Seems like a good idea to me, although after all the years of my coming t…

she means the giant trash bags.

I think you people are missing the point, what keeps the 68kmla going is the people who have knowledge of 68k and early ppc macs who come to talk about them, and then maybe some ot…

Well just use small bags?

Removing The Lounge is like saying you can't discuss anything except Macs at a Mac swap meet. Mike: Yeah, those new MacBook Pros are awesome. Joe: They're pretty great. Mike: So…

The two HDs in the Dual enclosure that IS openable are: ST39173LC IntarWebs tells me that they are 9gbs.

Two LC 575s for $5/each. Average condition...stickers, some yellowing, some sticker removal ghosts - but no cracks or missing plastics. Best, they both have network cards. Got t…

Can you make a list of the cards and if you are keepig them all? if there is a capture board (now missing its breakout box) it is kind of useless to you, but I might need it. Cl…

There are no Intel mac forums here yet. Click to expand... Hence why that gets discussed in the Lounge.

And here she is: She's a little yellowed, though not as badly as these photos seem to make out. It's a little dirty in places, but overall it looks to be in very good shape. No…

Well, first my grandma has to make sure it isn't needed, then... "You'll have to get *at least* 2 bags of trash out of your room before I let you get *another* computer" : I o…

I have some used PAV boards if you're interested. I have fixed an iMac before by replacing this board.

No boot. I powered it on. Its getting power, because when I remove the cord it does like a zip sound. HD and CD Drive both work. I plugged in an external Molex thing and they both…

A half-height drive might fit the vertical constraint, but the Mac mini case is not deep enough, IIRC.
