Freecycle liberation! — #16

It can't be indigo and a 266. The indigo was a slot load in speeds ranging from 350-500mhz. If it's a 266 it has to be a revision C blueberry. Click to expand... I never said i…

early iMacs are a bit finicky about 256MB SO-DIMMs, in that with some, they will only address the first 128MB of the SO-DIMM. Click to expand... The trick is to get ones with c…

Damn! $200 is way underpriced for even a 1.6 single.

Really, Panther would be the better option, being more optimized than 10.2 and stuff. The only reason i'm still running Jag is because i don't have a copy of Panther.

Macintosh SE SuperDrive and SCSI Zip 100 Drive — #2

How much do ZIP disks sell for these days? Do they even make and sell them anymore? Probably would have been cheaper to buy a bigger hard drive for your Quadra 700. Nice SE!
