Sorry, I didn't mean to make it sound like other Macs or Mac clones couldn't accomplish this feat; As ClassicHasClass mentioned, you can indeed bootstrap OF from a floppy, But I pr…

Not criticizing, just enquiring. I wondered if they had bumped up the CPU or something.

I have had success with NEC-based USB2 cards. But as others have mentioned they only work at USB2 speeds in MacOS X 10.2.8+. The only exception I have had to a working NEC-based …

My only experience with a USB2 card upgrade was in a PM G4. The only one that could be picked up off-the-shelf was a generic PC one with a Via chip. Turned out to be useless. It wa…

Ok, does any one know about this "black screen" problem? or could it just be the sofware? I do know on the g4 Ibooks this problem was dew to the gpu, also how hard is it to open t…

I don't know why you blocked out the Word 5.1 serial number - I reckon we probably all use the same copy by now JB Click to expand... I didn't, that's how it shows up on the…

The innards of that MacPro are gorgeous! I love red PCB's.

If you want newer versions of software (like Safari 4) then you'll need to run 10.4 on it. I don't know about the 466MHz models (they may actually be just fine) Click to expand…

You'll need at least 32MB RAM for OS 9 to even start (even then it hugs virtual memory). Stalling at the same place every time at boot up = (in my experience) a dodgy CD or optica…

No OS X? How can you stand it?! Click to expand... Easily! I've got, literally, over fifteen thousand dollars worth of vertical market CAD/CAM software alone from my sign busin…

Congrats! IIci's are one of the best classic Macs ever IMO. Your IIci seems to be an ex-internal Apple computer, which is even more cool. :O Click to expand... That's what I t…

If it has a Ethernet card, you could run some server programs on it. I made a LC III into a LAN Mail and DNS server. (Both programs were made by Apple.) You could also make it a…

Well... fight now it is kinda a monitor stand...

I have no idea. It originally shipped with *shudders* 16 MB of RAM, but I don't know if the previous owner upgraded it or not. I'd really prefer to run System 7 or OS 8 if possible…

About 10 years ago someone was selling an LC prototype case. It had two floppy drive slots. An LC with two floppies. Click to expand... All original LCs have two floppy drive…

To be fair, my Performa 6100/66 works fairly well for web browsing. I can even use gmail from it, using netscape 4. And it's only 66MHz.

Yea ok I think I may upgrade the hard drive as-well as the ram and if it does not have an air port card I will get one and install it, Does 10.3 have annoying dash bored? I just ne…

Doesn't it have clips on the under-side of the board? (All of the 5x00/6x00 machines I've had do).

The best version of OSX for the clamshell is 10.3.9 for speed and overall usability. If you want newer versions of software (like Safari 4) then you'll need to run 10.4 on it. I …
