I had a Quadra 700 in 2007 I got from the high school I was in at the time. It had a Farallon 10baseT transceiver like one of the ones mentioned here. Had Mac OS 8.1 with Apple Bui…

I know it wouldn't be authentic but, unlike the keyboard (which would need key caps), the Apple teardrop ADB mouse comes apart and paints up real easy with black for-plastic paint.…

I have a spare black mouse. I dont need it, but not sure if I could part with it on the cheap.

Bought mine from someone who had imported one from the US. So that's at least two in Australia!

Love the Mac TV, nice one. I have a spare black mouse, but I'm in Australia... Also, there are at least two of us here in Australia that have imported a Mac TV now but not sur…

I think the jury is out.

Juror22 - any luck on this?

I think you got it spot on, Gorgonops. With a stuck bit counter, it would not access the ROM properly.

I worked admin years ago.  FreeBSD from the command line.  Then linux from the command prompt.  No GUI yet.   Every time I updated apache, sendmail, you name it, I would break the …

If you haven't already bought a TiBook, don't. They're very pretty, but they're a pain to take apart and maintain and they're quite physically unreliable. I also never found them t…

47Hz: which makes sense, in order to bring the line frequency back into the correct range, you have to lower the refresh rate. Higher refresh rates require a faster beam to scan th…

uniserver said: the one thing i do not like about the 640x480 mod, is the 47HZ refresh rate... i mean 60hz is bad enough. seems when i get mystified A/B's in the caps are ex…

techknight said: the guy who figured out the 640x480 mod, I have no idea how he figured it out. Maybe it came from an internal apple employee, or repair guy. Hard to say.  …

It's OK. Pin 1 on most ROMs (up to 64K) is either ground or +5v, and about 24 pins. 128K, 256K and 512K ROMs Pin 1 is usually an address pin, depending the ROM size. They are to up…

I would think that IF a platinum face plate exists from the original design it would be an ED model sold in Europe. Seems education models had the most variants over there. I almos…

Would a standard PC mini-USB drive work if I used a mini-USB to 2 USB ports cable? Edit: Would a powered hub help? I can't find the cable. Edit 2: The model I'm getting has USB 2…

It doesn't. The USB SuperDrive requires a modern Mac without an internal SuperDrive, it takes more power from the USB ports. MacBook Pro with Retina display MacBook Air iMac (lat…

OK! Edit: Total: US$75-ish. Can probably be offset by selling some stuff (like my iBook G3). Also, does Apple's USB SuperDrive/MacBook Air SuperDrive work with OS X Leopard on a …

Do 2 if you plan to run Leopard.

Plans have changed. I am not going with a TiBook, but an Aluminium PowerBook G4 1.5 GHz. I am getting an 80GB hard drive for it. (Total: US$60) Is 1GB RAM sufficient or should I g…

@Elfen, oh I'm very sorry, I was talking about pins on the ROM, not the Mega II. Sorry again for the confusion.

Fair enough, I've never seen reference to a platinum original face plate or bezel and (sorry) am not convinced it exists, would love to be proved wrong (gives me another variant to…

Only in rumor and conjecture does an original face-plate design exist in platinum. Same for the original keyboard (without numeric pad). That is not to say they do not exist, just …

If you can get your hands on a polarized light source and the right optics, under polarized light conditions, a corroded trace should look different than a normal trace, even if th…
