The interesting thing about the HyperDrive was that it was one of the few third party mods that did not void warranty. Apple mentioned it in their service manuals at the time.

You can see my HyperDrive 20 photos here. For the sake of comparison, I would love to see some photos of the inside of your Hyperdrive kit, especially the hard drive mechanism. Y…

Thanks Quadraman, I'll do that. I had plans for the machine. Nick

Check the RAM. The checkerboard is different from the lines that you get with simasimac. Cleaning the connections with a pencil eraser and reseating the memory sometimes makes the …

Pictures it is. Also, I think it might be 64k. When hitting the interrupt button, it either acts weird until I let go of the button, or it shows a sad mac. That, and the borders, a…

Should a 'Macintosh' show a green light in the drive bay?

I wouldn't mind doing that, but no this came from some dumpster diving.

"floor plans for some hospitals in Washington" Are you one of those people who goes adventuring in abandoned hospitals in the middle of the night? :lol:

The HyperDrive was an internal hard drive sold by General Computer that was added to many early systems. Apple didn't include any hard drives internally until 1987 in the Mac SE mo…

So.... I found more stuff. IIsi (my first computer ever), LC 475 (nothin special), and Performa 6320CD (my first PPC Mac). I also see a Mac Plus but I can't reach it yet. I also fo…

Amiga......4000.....Gaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!!!!!!!! Please tell me it doesn't have a video toaster, too. xx(

JDW, that's if you have a boot floppy present. Just looking at the machine, assuming it doesn't power up, or don't have access to power. If it does power up and you don't have a 40…

My friend uses an Indigo iMac to control a small DMX light board for a small chapel. It's pretty wicked.

Awww, man. That Goodwill maintains a museum. Guess where all the really good vintage stuff goes. Click to expand... Yeh, but they have more S-100 and pre-1980 stuff than they c…

My choice on the G3 iMacs would be: Slotloaders: OSX TrayLoaders: 9

I have a 400MHz iMac (in Indigo) and run OS 9.1 on it. Of course, I don't do any web surfing on it, and am content to use it with iMovie 2 (got it mainly to do smaller video jobs a…

You'll need an Apple II to read the 5.25" diskette. The drive you have will plug into the back of the IIc, IIc+, and IIGS, and will work on a II, II+, or IIe with the proper floppy…

I like the trackball better, too. Apple was inconsistent in where they silk screened the model number. 210s-270s usually had it on the bottom of the LCD panel, 280s & 2300s…

I forgot another telltale sign--the sound of the floppy drive. Listen to the drives in the two videos and you'll hear a HUGE difference between the 400K and 800K drive.

Graphic Converter has a handy "Save for web..." menu item under File. It opens a dialog where you can resize, set the image format, and various other parameters.

A very nice score there tyrannis. The last and best of the Duos - upgraded with the superior pointing technology!

Pictures?

Well scored there LCGuy! Getting the machine over 512MB will make a big difference in OS X - but it should still run adequately. And they make great DVD players, especially with …

Is it not possible to confirm what the machine is what based on the boot dialog? If you want to confirm if a given compact Mac is an original 128k or 512k with 64k ROMs versus a 5…
