Just finished resurrecting/rebuilding a G5 PowerMac, so now to move from old, back to retro(ish).
Resurrect WallStreet, and replace dead HDD with SDHC->IDE adapter, install from original disks, then install QuickTake software and connect up my "brand new" QT150 camera.
Just received a QT150 in box, with camera case, battery extender, original software, external power supply, but missing manual and serial cable. Manual as PDF no problem, but I'll have dig though my box of cables looking for a serial cable.
Interesting thing is, this camera, and 2 others (cameras only) I've aquired, show that they have photos in memory, which is interesting, as all came without batteries, one supposedly non-working, which was just a faulty/sticky power switch.
It'll be interesting if I can retrieve these photos, and somehow identify when they were taken, to see how long they've been lingering in the unpowered memory, as I doubt there'll be any exif data with the photos.
None of the sellers were original owners, so tracking down the original taker(s) of the photos will be an exercise and a half in itself.
