Very Very nice Conquest there! Those are worthy of MY basement } The Thunder II card with the dsps are very nice in this class of machine as well. With 256megs of ram I bet i…

Well, that certainly makes sense. That would sound like a video card fail in OSX. I really need to install my bigger hd in the b&w and set things up much better to my lik…

Both iCab and Netscape 4.0 will work on DeviantArt. I have accessed it via my LC475 in the past. It ain't pretty and it ain't fast, but it's better than a kick in the nuts. Just…

...I want to save the frame and attaching band in case I find one that doesn't have it... Click to expand... The metal band around the CRT is more than a means to secure the fo…

NICE!

That's ... awesome! I know you've had trouble finding old Macs near you, which makes it doubly awesome. How did you find these?

As quinterro said, you won't be able to start any PowerPC Mac up off that disc, thats for an Intel PC system. You want a version of Linux thats built for use on a PowerPC, which wi…

That's all fine and dandy, but what I want to know is when the second issue is coming out! Perhaps I'll save my review of my Model 100's REX upgrade for the next installme…

The ISO that you downloaded is for Intel processors. It won't work on PPC systems.

Well what are you waiting for?! Get started on your super-computing cluster!

WGS 95 has 48 RAM, Q950 has PPC upgrade 601-100 MHz, full 256 RAM, the other two didn't boot, one had sad bong and other probably PSU problem.

Now days they seem to teach Javascript or some such as a beginning language which is probably more applicable to today's life, but I doubt that it is an easier introduction than Ba…

Under 24 bit addressing there is 1M of address space assigned to each Slot. Does that mean that a video card would be limited to 1 MB of VRAM when using 24 bit addressing? Or i…

Asked in 2004 what Apple should do next, Jef Raskin replied, "Turn out a good interface." Amen, I say. After nearly ten years of using the damn thing daily, I still can't find my w…

Not sure if you're already past this part... The suction cup and red (usually red) cable to the side of the CRT is an integral part of the flyback transformer. If you wish to re…

Any chance you work on IIFX motherboards that the idiot previous owners left to battery decay? I know there is at least one pad gone there and who knows what else. but the boards …

After my initial searches for the classic style Macs, it seems that one model, the SE/30 comes to the forefront because of the 68030 processor and 128meg upgradability for the RAM.…

IIRC 200gb or smaller partitions can only be read by os9 say you have a 600gig drive and it is partitioned in 200gb and 400gb it would boot fine off the 200gb partition but absolut…

I'm sure others who have personal experience with such machines can give you a 'from personal experience' answer, but here's my understanding: OS 9 will only recognize partitions …

Recently I (foolishly?) agreed to take a dual 1.25 Ghz MDD G4 Tower (OS 9-bootable, not FW800) off a coworkers' hands for $50. (I'm not sure why. I think I had this vague idea that…

If it has a picture of a printer on the second 25 pin port, it is a parallel Zip drive. Do NOT connect this drive to a Mac.

Hello all, I am looking into getting a classic Mac to just 'play around' with in terms of games and I/O control. I never had a Mac before and I want something that is small and p…
