Here's a few pics of some of my older conquests. I've included a few pics of the basement double tier area... Feel free to guess at what some of the stuff is. …

Learn something new everyday! Thanks a lot for the feedback! After doing that screwdriver trick to over 200 macs back in the day, I still don't like that moment right before cont…

For the most part I collect primarily Apple II, IIgs (Still my favorite), and Mac equipment. However I go through phases where I get onto other things. The last 6 years or so has…

I was under the impression that usb 2 will not run under os 9.x so you are stuck with usb 1.1 speeds. I do own a sonnet tempo 133 card so this is starting to sound like the best …

Was randomly surfing for parts and found a place selling 1gb memory sticks for this machine cheap. I have 2 of them on the way for $37 shipped so I'll have the full 2gb of DDR2 533…

Thanks for trying this out on your SE/30. What about when you get info on the System Suitcase? It looks like we got some conflicting data and the mothership does not acknowledge …

ZOMG Apple /// ! ZOMG Apple Bose speakers ! ZOMG Shiva Fastpath and two Gatorboxes !

Just saw this on CL, for comparison. Click to expand... You can't really compare bulk lots to singles. Bulk lots are always cheaper because the seller is offloading the hassle…

Yeah, with the RAM, shipping and all those accessories, that seems pretty fair.

taerG boJ!

That's like awesome. Great job.

There was no system 7.1.3 ever, that is only Finder version, like there is 7.1.4 too. System and Finder never shared the same release number except from 7.0 to 7.1 See here: http:…

Good question. Dunno right now - maybe I'll sell it or pass it on to a friend. Cinema Display works - I'm using it now. There's one column of stuck pixels (ie a 1 pixel wide ver…

Yes, it's doing a basic RAM test. You can't do it on all Macs, but you can likely disable the startup memory test by holding down option + command (I think) when you double-click …

Do you snag mostly mac/apple II stuff or do you have other brands you seek out?

There is no need to perform the CRT discharge ritual if you are not going to remove the HV lead from the CRT. Yes, it's standard advice from the manufacturer, but following it make…

Alright. The installer for my PowerBook 500-series installer has two options at the top of the list: "System for PowerBook 500 series" and "Min System for PowerBook 500 series". …

Awesome. LOL I needed that quote tonight. I THINK those came from one of my old friends that used to run a local Apple II repair business. He was going to dumpster them (they w…

When archaeologists discover the ruins of your house, they'll be like "WTF did he have so many Disk ][ drives?!"

Is that right? OR does the automatic discharge of the crt only happen on the SE line?? I worked on LOT'S of the 128, 512, Plus models in college, and we ALWAYS screwdriver discha…

This site requires turning off stylesheets when viewed with Classilla 9.0 (View->Use Style->None), each time the link is opened in a fresh window/tab. It's somewhat i…

Hello all! I have some pictures of the bag plus a few other goodies I'll post over in the conquests section I suppose. Here ya go the FULLAPPLE bag in all it's glory! ppuskari …

Update on the Mini. I was asked to pull some files off the drive, which diskwarrior allowed me to do even though it could not repair the error. I just finished wiping the drive a…

I agree with the other posts that $50 is way too much for most G3 iMacs. I couldn't get $20 for the slot load 350MHz one I had; ended up giving it to a small non-profit.

Personally, I couldn't be bothered with an iMac under 600MHz. If you don't even plan on doing anything with it, then pass entirely. Click to expand... As I mentioned in my sec…
