Folks, unless you want this merely to say you've added "a Dove board to your collection," you'd be better off with a true Mac Plus. Seriously. Besides, there's a Dove upgrade boa…

Those G4 upgrades are really hard to find. Only the early iMacs with the internal expansion port can be fitted with them. Finding them unused or freed from the confines of the mach…

This also means that the 6100 DOS card will work in an '040 PDS Mac. Click to expand... My 6100 DOS card has a strange connector, it is not a typical Euro-DIN style PDS connect…

Pretty much every desktop Mac from the later Plus to the "beige" G3 should be the same color "Platinum". The earlier Plus and before (including the LISA) should be the brownish-ta…

Perhaps if people could easily edit their posts they could tidy up some of their quotes? Click to expand... I'm feeling a distinct sense of déja vu... Anyway, for those who ar…

Smiley Apple II

Which model PBG3? IIRC, they all used different model battery packs for some of the PBG3s. However, if it's a Lombard or Pismo, they both used the same model PRAM battery. I thi…

The Smiley 950.

Platinumized for your viewing pleasure. Also added a 610/6100, IIci/IIcx. { "lightbox_close": "Close", "lightbox_next": "Next", "lightbox_previous": "Previous"…

Yes, it's a Quadra 700. Should they be Platinum? I couldn't tell from the pictures, and my Macs are certainly yellow.

I just reinstalled the 4 Sonnet sticks that came in the 9600 and split the pile of FPM ram between the 9500 and the 8600/200 and at this point all is well. It wasn't worth the tro…

Fans will do that over time. Dust and dirt accumulates on the vanes of the fan and throw it out of balance which stresses the motor and bearings. Keeping them clean will increase t…

A 68882 will work in place of a 68881. They are pin compatible. The 68882 is a more efficient update to the 68881 that is capable of scaling to higher clock speeds. The instruction…

The Dove board fitted over the existing RAM. I'm not quite sure how, but everything I've seen about it says it snaps into place on top of the existing RAM chips. The Dove upgrade c…

I read that as 2MB of RAM with SCSI from the auction. Was the 512ke able to go that high without a Mac Plus logic board swap?

i dont think it has anything to do with editing, people are just too lazy to read the thread unless its photocopied every single response

Ok I'll try the steel wool. I tried a pencil eraser but it didn't seem to help. The contacts on one seem to be a bit corroded or damaged so that's probably the issue. Tempest

removal of the quote button *rollseyes* Perhaps if people could easily edit their posts they could tidy up some of their quotes?

Here's another vote for the current forum working just peachily on my iPhone.

Couldn't value it at the time so paid the scrap value for the Airport Card, RAM and plastics

That's an unexpected bonus! What was the cost?

Reminds me of that fat german kid on the simpsons after being fed. That might explain why it is so happy.

$400?!? Dang.. He/she should have at least made it open to bidding, and started a little lower. Then he/she would be fairly likely to get that. But with a simple buy-it-now at …

just something to try ...scuffing the contacts lightly with some fine grit steel wool, works better than pencil eraser on mismatched "settled in" parts, but its dust is highly cond…
