That sucker reminds me too much of HAL with its omnipresent eye... :O

Does it not boot even if you wait a really long time? Is the battery good? You could try zapping the PRAM and disabling the memory test.

What a lovely piece of toxic waste. And I do mean waste. Not only is it a waste of a 512k....but with the molten plastic, damaged CRT and all, having that thing around can't be hea…

You would have done much better (and cash out sooner) buying some Microsoft stock instead of that mac.

i will try to open mine later to actually see its logic board just need to go out and buy a torx screw driver. will post some pictures later or tomorrow.

That's 3 TB of files! 8-o Click to expand... If they're dual-layer DVD-ROMs, factory-pressed, that's 6 TB. Which is also one of these. (They have an 8 TB model now, too, whi…

I found a photo of the 18 disc changer and it does use three cartridges of six. I also found this This one can hold 720 DVD's or DVD ROM's. That's 3 TB of files! 8-o

According to Wolfram|Alpha, the average inflation rate from 1984 to 2008 (the latest year available) was 3.75%. $2495 at 3.75% for 26 years comes to $6500. If this auction goes o…

It also depends on whether on is discussing the inflation adjusted value or not.

There was a refrigerator-size changer that used 2 drives and 48 of those 6-CD magazines at Goodwill last month. 8-o Quite the monster jukebox!

Thank you. I couldn't remember which pin it was which carried the video signal.

Once upon a time it was worth $2495.00. How many years will it take to surpass its new price? Eventually even Model T Fords became worth more than new.

The typical 3-port MIDI adapter (that is 3 MIDI outs on the same 16 channels) is merely a 1 MHz crystal to provide the clock for the Mac's SCC chip to generate 31.25 kilobaud and s…

Yes the analogue board is the same. You need a 400K drive and ribbon cable (it can't use all 800K drive cables), a 512K logicboard with 64K ROMs, and of course a 512K bucket (with …

Well, nice try, but I wouldn't take these theories to the bank just yet. First the 512Ke is not all that common. It replaced the low-end line about 4 months after the identical 51…

I loath the term "rare" simply because the use of it is sadly not rare on EBAY. Put the "rare" label on it and you can deceive more buyers. Seriously. I hate that word. "Rare" …

I have a 200ish CD Rom version made by some other brand. It's the size of a desktop tower and has 2 CD readers build in I think

Because those models are actually ridiculously common. The 512ke is in that strange place where it's definitely not "common", but it's not exactly "rare", either. Or, at least, it…

How does that theory account for all the Pluses, SE's, and Classics that are ALWAYS on ebay?

What a terrible thing to do to a mac xx(

My guess would be that it's lack of rarity is why it's not appearing. Click to expand... Ditto.

Hi The documents arrived. The card must go into slot 7 and the flying lead should plug onto the 3rd pin from the left, on the 4-pin connector shown below.

It's a neat system, and I always loved Symbolics hardware. But that is a ridiculous asking price. They're not THAT rare (though I'd sure like to have one).

Yes, the computer definitely has 32 bit addressing turned off.

Is 32 bit addressing turned off in the memory control panel?
