If you end up with a spare, working Wallstreet, or one that needs relatively little to become functional again, I would be highly interested in purchasing one! A 12" would be DELIG…

Congratulations. From what I've read, those can be tricky to get spinning again.
(Actually, I've found that HD failure is the most frequent and most annoying problem that plagues …

Maybe if I run into an LC 550 I'll install it into the Colour Classic for fun

Good luck...I've actually never seen a Performa 550 (there was no LC variant, o…
When all is said and done there will be lots left over. Anyone looking for keys, trackpad assembly's, HD mounts, or other case parts let me know. We can work something out with shi…

I suspect that 20MB of RAM in the 2300 is barely enough to run 8.1, let alone 8.6 (8.5 is buggy, and 8.6 is a free upgrade). As Duo RAM is near impossible to find, I would second …
I'm looking forward to my 2300c. Can't wait and it may arrive tomorrow!
On another conquest (to save a new thread) I found a large tote full of Wallstreets...for free!
There are…

I have, however, recently acquired (by sibling proxy and at a distance of a 2 hr drive) a lot of parts which has in it an LC520 logic board

Oh yeah, I heard …

Good luck in your quest to find a 2100! I'd sell you mine, but its not working properly. I still use my MP 2000 all the time. They make great little tools and can definitely tur…

Because the extension improves performance greatly, enabling all the optimizations available. When I boot with my Sonnet G3 400 MHz in an 8500 without any extensions, everything ru…

A Color Classic with a 550 logic board is indeed a thing of beauty (I have one).
I have, however, recently acquired (by sibling proxy and at a distance of a 2 hr drive) a lot of p…

I just remembered that it is possible to overclock these older Sonnet cpu ugrades using a utility called Sonnet Clocker. See http://www.zone6400.com/Sonnet_Clocker.html for more in…
As the owner of a retired 6100 running a NewerTech 330mhz G3 with a Power Computing HPV card, you will definitely notice a big jump in speed. In the 6100, the HPV card does connect…
Not so - it works okay for me. I think the issue is that it's being hosted locally somewhere around here, running an HTTP server off a Newton. I can imagine this would be a little …

They did, it was called the Colour Classic II and was released in Asia and Canada as far as I kn…

You want a 2100 if you actually want to go on the web with it, as the lower RAM of the 2000 limits its usefulness there by way of serving up constant out of memory errors. The two …

The problem with the 2300c running on battery may not be the Duo, but the battery. Type 3 batteries (I don't know about the BTI type 4) are notorious for draining down to the point…
The CF-IDE adapter was the cheapest Chinese one I could find on eBay and the CF card was a good brand but nothing special. Worked first time and without a hitch since.

I haven't been able to check the lone parts LC that I have; sorry.
But maybe the motherboard caps leaked while it was in the box. It's certainly possible, given the age of the …
