This is the kind of software I'm now seeking. My finds: Keep It Up: site is down. Google apparently knows nothing about it. Wayback Machine = also nothing. (Rem…
I don't post about everything I get but this find was kind of cool for me. As some of you know I collect boxed mac software, mostly from the 68k era and I like …
I just got my first PowerPC ever, a cute little PB53000cs. All my life I've been a Windows user, and the past few months I've been collecting 68k compacts so I'…
Alright, this might not really be a conquest (since it was a trade and all), but WorkgroupServer and I had a trade. I received: Mac SE power supply Mac SE analo…
Okay, well, it's conquest time once again, guys. This time at the same college that I've scored: -2x Blue and White G3s (November 2008) -3 various PCs, Athlon p…
Where is the CUDA button on the Power Macintosh 8500? And how do you get to it? I got the outer case off, but I have no clue how to get the motherboard out. I d…
Well, we all do stupid things. And I've done a stupid thing. I decided to wash my LC III logicboard, nothing wrong with that. Once it was dry, I reassembled my …
Okay! My Color Classic is finally running for a long period of time, and was able to turn on after I shut it down and installed a PDS ethernet card. My question…
Does anyone know of a good, free HTML editor for OS 7-9? I looked on Pure-Mac and couldn't really find anything. Better yet: Is there a way to type HTML into Si…
I have found a pristine (though untested, as yet) Apple 12" RGB monitor at a local computer shop, along with an assortment of other old Apple items (two rather …

Hello everyone, I have a ton of SCSI 160 and 320 cards and HDDs from dell servers. Would the cards work in my G4 tower? If so OS 9.2 work or would i need OS X? …

Hi Folks, About two weeks ago I made this thread: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=10005 asking for help with my Color Classic, which finally, for two days, worked p…
Just won an eBay auction for this for $8 shipped. The nice thing about this is it's accelerated and seems to have never been used.
I have a Power Macintosh 9500 that worked fine up until yesterday. I no longer get a boot chime, but the computer still functions and boots. I checked all cable…
So I'm back home from uni, and have therefore been playing around with my old Macs for the last few days. After the Freecycle haul I got back in April, I now ha…
I have a G4 Powerbook that prints to an Appletalk printer (well, an Appleshare 4 print server, actually) via Airport Extreme, with no problem. Connection is thr…
So, is it just me or has the retrochallenge BBS gone down? I hope it comes back soon.
I noticed that whenever using Desktop Pictures in OS 8.1, the picture doesn't overlay the pattern until the desktop is loaded. Is it possible to save an image a…

Could anybody give me a quick link to download this? Gamba's site has this, but I've had some strange issues opening the .bin file and CNET has this too, but it…
Hello Everyone, Okay, my Mac Plus caught fire and nearly burned down the house (godaweful smell too). So, for Christmas this past year my husband bought me a re…
For members who frequent the IRC channel, you've probably heard me babbling on about this endlessly already. Due to my absence from these forums I wasn't able t…
I've got a PowerBook 165c that, except for the case, functions reasonably well. I purchased a battery for it a few years ago and it gets about an hour on a full…
I've been offered a PowerBook 100, but neither of us knows how much it was worth. I've been scavenging Low End Mac and m68kmla but haven't found any good price …
I got a free IceBook today. It is in okay condition. It is covered in tiny scratches if you hold it up to a light. Also, a little bit of the metal lining to the…
I have had for a few years a 20" ColorSync monitor from c. 1997 in which the included ADB ports do not work. On a ColorSync, a failed ADB port is worse than it …
As the title says: these. If anyone needs ISOs of any of the discs, then please let me know and I shall provide them. The older MacTest Pro discs are indeed use…
Can I put a NuBus processor upgrade in my Dock II for use with my 2300c? Is that even possible?
I come bearing hard drive questions. I need to put a new HD in my 3400c, but I recall hearing once that some ATA-6 drives don't work with that series, does anyo…
An interesting tidbit that turned up here today is that a Samsung SCX-4828FN appears as a Laserwriter on an Appletalk network. I thought this worth archiving fo…
I reloaded my G3 and now I wish I hadn't. I cannot find a driver for my Radeon 9200 to save my life...anybody have a link? ATI/AMD has been no help whatsoever.
I don't know if they were just using crap parts at the time, but so far, ever Portable and every Classic II that I've encountered has had capacitor issues, and …
Found a 1ghz, 768MB RAM, 80GB hard drive lampshade iMac G4 (not the USB 2.0 model unfortunately) for $100. Picked up today, got it home but found the optical dr…

I tried to use Yahoo Instant Messenger V2.5.3 tonight and I got an unexpected announcement. "This older version is no longer supported. Please upgrade...yada ya…
. . . were any ever made? . . . or were USB cards made for a PB with ADB already on it? I'll admit to getting lazier w/age, but I topped out on the 1400c &a…
Some success was reported in using a CompactFlash card in combination with a Stratos CF PowerMonster and a PowerBook 180. For an old 32 MB CF card the patched A…
