What I've received as of late...

Just got a bunch of stuff from @Mk.558 this evening. Another Quadra 650, which will be replacing the damaged Quadra 650, since this one works and doesn't need more than just swapping the extra RAM, the larger hard drive, auto-inject floppy, and other goodies I'd tossed at the damaged machine into it. There's also a Power Macintosh G3 (Gossamer beige minitower in the G3 Server configuration), a Q610 DOS compatible, some extra RAM for a post-NuBus PowerMac, a bunch of cards, some networking software and manuals, a couple 800K external drives, and another M1212 monitor that doesn't smell moldy, unlike the one I have attached to the IIfx currently.


Testing the Q650. Boots up and works correctly. Was surprised to discover that it has a properly working Quantum LP80S hard drive in it.

Conquesting an A1289 Mac Pro, finally. Picking that up on Saturday.

Good score. I’ve been wanting one since this issue of Macworld landed in my mailbox 20 years ago:

That is terrific! Very capable machines.

There is one for $100 on offerup right now. Just the machine itself, of course. It's in Tacoma. Seller says it needs a hard drive. I probably will have a spare SATA 3.5" drive available. Sent you a DM with the link.

Agreed. Had that early 2008 8-core 2.8 GHz A1186 for a long time. Was my daily driver until I moved the Radeon HD 5770 video card up a slot and somehow caused the heatsink for the PCI bus chip to come loose. Became rather unstable at the time. Switched to the mid-2010 A1286 I owned at the time as my daily driver. Will be nice to have a Mac Pro again for my daily driver duties.
