Congrats on the IIfx; they're great old machines. I've had mine for 20 years and it's still going strong. As for SCSI HD's, virtually any 50 pin drive should work straight out of…

You're going to need to check your voltages first. Definitely don't use it until you confirm the power distribution. Once you have done that, if the behavior continues, you are mos…

I'd still knife an old lady to get my hands on one. Click to expand... I feel the same way about the Apple Portrait Display, another 13W3 monitor. There's one on eBay now for …

I wonder what a 13W3 hookup looks like? I've never even heard of that one. Click to expand... Google is your friend, as always. Here's a nice picture on Wikipedia. Almost any …

I put in the new 160GB HDD, and it's a breath of fresh air. I can't say that it's faster, but I can say I feel better looking at my system and having close to 122GB Free (which wil…

An analog board issue would be my best guess.

Hi Board. I have a Color Classic that recently started to behave weird. When I boot the unit sometimes a weird sound occours (kind of like a fizzling sound) lasting a couple of …

Hi all - I've just picked up a Mac IIfx - which I am very pleased with. I will have a number of "newbie" type questions over the next few weeks - just as a word of warning! With …

I saw these on eBay and was wondering if anyone had ordered from the seller before: http://cgi.ebay.com/Battery-APPLE-PowerBook-140-145-150-160-170-180-NEW-/390194376131?cmd=ViewI…

No, of course you're right. Windex wipes is what I meant. Less harsh. Best, John

I'd still knife an old lady to get my hands on one.

Clorox wipes? Won't that damage or discolor just about any plastic? I've seen clorox wipes damage lower grades of stainless steel.

Received a PB180 today in exchange for $25. I was impressed by how nice it was. Hardly any apparent use at all from the look of the keys. No plastic degradation or anything. Wh…

Yea, I seen those before. I think they were one of the last CRTs SONY made and sold them to video editing people, $2000? Very heavy, wide, and deep.

Sounds like an HDTV picture tube.

That is some sweet stuff. I'm a CRTophile myself, I've only accepted fixed resolution monitors as a necessary evil. I wonder what a 13W3 hookup looks like? I've never even heard o…

I've got the combo drive model of the 1.5GHz 12" Powerbook. Originally I had an 867MHz model and loved it so much, I went for the new one. Its remarkably better and 1.5GHz is sti…

I'm negotiating with someone for a 24" Sun (Sony tube) widescreen CRT monitor. This thing is awesome, and totally weird because I've never even heard of a widescreen CRT monitor. …

That's a good score. Yeah, you can't go wrong with a 12" PB (I'm posting from one!). Mine has performed great since I got it in '04. Biggest two ordeals I had were an HD swap and a…

Very nice The 12" were always my favorite powerbook models, the 17" comes to a close second.

Nice find! Good price too! You could use different disks for different versions of O.S. 6/O.S.7.

There are no stupid question, just stupid mistakes made by not asking enough questions!

My, that's pretty.

I recently brought out my PowerBook Duo 2300c (running MacOS 7.6) out of storage after a few years of having not used it and I'm still surprised at the number of late 1990s/early 2…
