1500.00? WOW!!! I didn't think it would be that much... I posted it up on craigslist for 800.00 then lowered it to 600.00 and I got no-shows. Then I was looking at it and I'm like …

When you install Leopard on a PPC Mac, does it even install any x86 code? And vice-versa? I know the Applications folder will have Universal apps, but what about the actual OS guts…

The best native video card you can get for it is the 7800GT 256MB. I believe this was only ever sold as a BTO option on a new dual core G5 so they're quite hard to find. You can f…

OK, it does sound like the drive has a problem. Do you have a cleaning disk? Do you have a working external floppy drive or one you can borrow to test the motherboard interface? Do…

The two major issues with compacts is capacitors dying and screen burn/focus problems. I find it odd how Apple went from expandable SE/SE30's to a Classic 2 with no expansion what…

The Classic II is a great little unit. Very sleek looking for a basic box. Very usable for a lot of writing jobs. Adding a newer harddrive will speed things along. When you d…

The original 128 and 512 could do very little animation because of the lack of memory. About the only option was MacroMind's VideoWorks, which allowed animating a small software sp…

The original SE (4 SIMMs are angled) doesn't have much clearance for the motherboard, a SE30 with the 8 SIMM slots (that stick straight out) will not fit. The difference between a …

Well, I'VE got a PB100 trick up MY SLEEVE too! It seems, in their infinite idiocy, that Epson left out support for the 68000 when they wrote the drivers for the original Epson Sty…

My 13" 292Mhz Wallstreet acts up once every few months for a second and thats it (video), it is probably the fastest stock Wallstreet made because of the 83Mhz bus speed. The secon…

serial port/modem port Click to expand... Yep. I was just looking at that port the other day thinking "Now what am I going to use *that* for?" Click to expand... There are …

Does your Rev. 2 B&W still have the good old fashioned serial port/modem port Click to expand... Yep. I was just looking at that port the other day thinking "Now what a…

I would like to have a 1.44 MB floppy, but I think I read somewhere that it would require a logic board upgrade, and then I wouldn't be able to use a second built-in floppy. Can an…

Very nice! There's just something about these compact Macs that you can't describe until you use one. You could get addicted to them. I like how the external fits nicely under the …

Washing them? Interesting. When I get it opened I'll take some pictures of the board and caps and let you guys see what they look like. Yep the casing is in great condition (bar t…

I spotted that auction! Great job on the conquest!

I have that same Rodime drive on my Plus... it is indeed quite loud.

Some of us think washing the little buggers a viable (if temporary) alternative to The Full re-capping Monty, but YMMV. What version of 7 was on there? 7.0 should be snappy enough…

Urk so that's why I see so much re-capping talk. One more thing to look at when I get it opened then.

One problem I'm noticing is that the speaker will start crackling after a while. Volume goes down lower and eventually you can't even hear the startup chime. Loose wire maybe? C…

Not to mention putting the 68030 on a 16-bit bus. I created a 6.0.8L disk set, initialized the hard disk and put on a lean install (Classic II System Software only, no printers) a…

I hate you post. }

1.) Why is the Classic II second class? 2.) To which Mac is it second class? Click to expand... Apple Purposley hampered the RAM. And it is second only to the venerable SE/30…

$20 working MDD's? You could make a little money flipping them on eBay, if you enjoy that kind of thing.

I got my G5 a few weeks back, but I had to wait for the monitor to clear customs... finally, I have it all put together. Now I have a dual 2.0 with 2 gigs and a 22" Cinema Display…
