LUCKY! :O :O The Goodwill here has few computer-related things most of the time, but there was one time where I went there, and they had probably 20-30 computers in total. Onl…

I always thought it would be interesting to have a Blue Dalmation or FlowerPower iMac. I have not seen one in person but I would pick it up if I saw it. On the same topic. I pic…

I always wanted a jewel tone iMac, ruby or sage. But I got a graphite much like that one because when it was time to buy it my other choices were (ew) blue dalmatian and (ick) flow…

I love the speakers in those very much, it's just a shame that at lowest volume, I can't use them at night when I had one of those. Man, now I want a G3 iMac again....

Good lord, I hadn't even thought about that. I'm having a hell of a time getting my Duo to recognize larger drives (by which I mean a 2GB and a 6GB that should be ATA-3 and ATA-5 r…

Some random thoughts from a Duo fan: 1. A 2300c should be able to run 8.1 well enough, though Dan Palka over on system7today swears by 7.6.1 on these machines. 2. For various rea…

Sound and an external Graphics Output System, TTL or CGA, would make a world of sense Click to expand... Why sound though? If it were specifically for an external graphics disp…

Thanks for the info. Two of the sticks I got are 64MB, 5v, FPM, 60ns, as far as I can tell. After installing those two, in A4/B4 slots, the 9600 gets most of the way through the …

You'll be delighted with the 2300c, I'm sure. It's quite a capable little machine - or at least, mine would be if it wasn't riddled with issues. Feel free to shoot me a PM if you h…

It is located in the same province and that saves a lot of money in shipping. I do plan to use both as a system. The only other duo I own is a 230 but the passive screen is prett…

Cool - thank you. It's good to have a link like that which people can find easily. I'd also like to remind people here that NetBSD for m68040s with no FPU (no matter which mask) c…

I had a thought about this in the shower yesterday! My buddies at Tekserve got their start in Macs by building the (Mac controlled) Directory Systems for the Rockefeller Center (y…

74hct161 Click to expand... binary counter, counting is very important when fabricating a video signal from a computer

Keep in mind that most of these batteries are very old by now, and almost all of them are dead or very near it. I don't have the links on me right now - I'll post them when I get h…

There are close to 40 ICs on that board. An NTSC or PAL conversion board typically has three logic chips. There's a bank of eight pc74hct161p (MOSFETs?) and an unidentified bank of…

Wow, I sure do wish Chiefs-Trading-Post shipped internationally. =( I could use a NewerTechnology Floppy adapter or two to cannibalize for evil. And by evil, I mean WiFi.

I was considering bidding on that 2300c - I could really use a bunch of junk out of it. I'm glad you picked it up, though, if you're going to use it as a system. I hate pulling par…

Here you'll find a floppy-driven Macintosh Portable web server with a how-to, in case it's of interest to you!

Cool for you! If you get that Turbo running, it will be like having OS X 0.1. Click to expand... Oh, it does run just fine! A clean NeXTSTEP 3.3 install was done by the selle…

Congrats! I've always wanted a NeXT machine but the shipping costs would kill me.

Cool for you! If you get that Turbo running, it will be like having OS X 0.1.

For those who don't read Japanese, the procedure is pretty simple. I had taken off the floppy drive cover, but I didn't need to. I just needed to unscrew it so that I could fit it…

Holy crap I found some more pictures. http://square.umin.ac.jp/~itoh/dual_fdd_2.html This guy is seriously awesome.

Holy crap I finally found some pictures. http://square.umin.ac.jp/~itoh/dual_fdd_1.html That guy seems to be a serious Macintosh Portable nut. I wish I had found his page sooner.…

For the Ram gurus here, a question. What happens if you mix FPM and EDO Ram in an 8600/9600? Machine gets flakey, won't boot at all, smoke and flames, or?? Also, I just picked u…
