I'm just having a hell of a time getting Tiger onto my clamshell iBook at the moment... My external USB DVD drive *WILL* boot the Tiger DVD, but of course a stock Tiger DVD will r…
running linux on my 8500 I needed to boot into a console, edit the window manager config file and hope for the best while using my (bad) apple monitor
since X plays somewhat by th…
I know I've run Panther on a 640x480; but I don't know about Tiger. It could just be that Tiger really does need more than that, and Tiger may ignore the old fashioned Mac sense l…
So I sat down and fixed this thing, those mysterious green sips are house branded IC's which meant if they were toast the machines functionality would be lost without becoming a pa…
H3NRY's suggestion was right on the money. After a bit of fiddling, Akane the Portable comes right up. The magic numbers were 9V and 3A. Hard disk was initially recalcitrant, but s…
Yes, it's a monitor support (absolutely necessary : ) intended to do both, they date back to the Mac II and are intended for TPDs, which are notoriously heavy and meant to sit …
Nice chart, I've got basically the same one in a book. The one on the webpage you mention is slightly better explained though. They didn't put in the XXXX after the class code so i…
phreakout, thanks for the history lesson, but I'm not sure I understand why you posted it. It's also wrong. The Classic and Classic II overlapped by one full year, the Classic II d…

RAM failure is not common in a stock 128K, but it is v…
I've taken the topcase of an old G3 iBook without damaging it by shimming the plastic carefully with toothpicks. Mind you, you'll lose a few toothpicks this way, but they'll break…
Yeah, I paid something like $500 for the privilege of owning a 2c FPD and I think within an hour or two, I had already yanked off the clear plastic lens which made it a bit worse. …
The Radius GS TPD looks fantastic sittin' next to an SE, almost was attractive as the Radius FPD (the early ones w/o the tilt-swivel base) does. I've got some old Radius Brochures …
Nice find! I believe the error is memory related.
It's not possible to boot the Macintosh without its full complement of memory, if I recall correctly, so your best bet would poss…
That's an Asante FriendlyNet II.
I have the transceiver that goes with it in my hands as we speak. The transceiver, for some odd reason, has a second LED in addition to activity -…
heya Temetka!
Yes, I got an SE FDHD and SE/30 on Thursday, which will get a seperate thread when I'm done with squeeing about having them. I'm going to build an uber-SE if I can. …
Great score on the CC.
I myself have an SEFD so I can understand the compact lust.
Minus the 2300 that I would love to have and possible a 660AV, the CC is on my top 5 list of ma…
God I miss my Pismo.
I traded it to Cory in a fit stupidity. Probably brought on by a large amount of alcohol and weed, but that is a discussion for..well...not here anyway.
