Oh yes! The Daystar Genesis is the Holy Grail of PPC Mac clones IMO. I'd likely kill for one of those... (OK, maybe just a few mosquitoes but nothing more... )

Thanks for all the advice. I think I'm gong to try replacing the batteries in the II and see if that does the trick. I know the IIx is a slightly better machine, but the II was m…

Back in the day, both the Mac II and Mac IIx machines were exceptionally reliable - in my experience, anyway. The only common problems were the PRAM batteries going flat (and then…

bittorrent machine?

Nice score Byrd. As for the "really quiet 40GB HDDs"...I'm assuming they're Seagate U series drives? (the ones with the rubber covering around them) I've got a couple of those, …

I have a PowerTower Pro 200 and a PowerCenter 150 (minitower model). I only got the PowerCenter recently (as in within the last few years) from 4seasonphoto. I overclocked the bu…

I was afraid the speed might be an issue.

a battery holder is not a bad idea, batteries are sometimes hard to solder, even if your a self proclaimed expert (like me) and once heat starts to actually soak into the battery t…

If you don't prefer one machine over the other: Get the battery holder and battery for the Mac II, and fix up that one. Don't bother trying to solder a new battery on. Not only …

I've soldiered before, but never delicate electronics... Click to expand... So you weren't in the Corps of Signals or Engineers? Depends what you want to do with it, with the …

I don't have a II but I have a couple IIx systems and a spare IIx motherboard and all needed the aluminum can capacitors replaced. Other then that the big box II's seems reliable (…

just the basics of the 2 technologies suggest that an active matrix would use more power, but that doesnt mean that they didnt find a way around that (and according to the post ab…

ahaha, who in their right mind would turn down a maxxboxx? Click to expand... People who have no use and don't like one I would guess. I turned down a free local Apple II+ beca…

ahaha, who in their right mind would turn down a maxxboxx?. I've always had a special place in my heart for one. If it ever gets filled, I guess we'll find out. If anyone here has …

Further digging in the "PowerBook" sections of my ever-useful old copies of The Macintosh Bible and Macintosh and Power Macintosh Secrets has revealed that the commentators du jour…

I have an 81/110 Radius unit and it is built like a tank (and has a normal mac video connection unlike the 8100).

My 200 MHz Motorola StarMax 4000 MT was great. Very clean design (even if it did look like a PC), something I've always liked in a case. Also, it was pretty well upgradeable, eve…

I wonder how many on this forum actually ever had one? I know that I felt it was the best decision at the time, coming out of The Dark Times right before the second coming of Mr. J…

I had a radius for a few weeks, hated it power pc with nubus, cpu soldered to the logic board, and every single peice of it was rivited to the case so you could not change hard dr…

Quad-CPU MaxxBoxx! Oh, I'd like to have one!

First, I snagged an "Apple 3.5 Drive" in very good (physical) condition. I believe this is one of the drives that could be used with either an Apple IIGS or an early Macintosh - i…

that could be connected through the serial (printer or modem) port Click to expand... We need those drivers ...

Hi, Sent you a PM.
