i have in the past added macs to existing networks but never created one from scratch, here are the things that i get to work with:

Has anyone seen this before? I bought a Plus on eBay for $10 and it has a daughtercard with an 030 (and FPU). I bought the Plus just to get a working analog board, so wasn't expe…
I plugged the power cord into the SE the whole way, completely fine. It would not turn on. I wiggled it. It made electrical sparky noises, and I flipped the power switch on again. …
My recently-acquired IIfx (with Mac II top cover) came to me in an excessively grimy condition. Oddly enough, because it cleaned up so well, the layer of dirt may have actually pre…

A 7100
An 8100
A Dot Matrix Printer

I remember reading about PowerTools in MacAddict back in the day...from memory they sold their machines in kit form, with no RAM, hard drive, video card or peripherals. Thats the f…
