Just love those photos. They remind one of just how futuristic the 500 series looked when they came out compared to the 100 series PowerBooks

Yep this will work just fine. For pretty much any inkjet cartridge actually. Used to do it on my Canon A3 photo printer which took 8 (count em!) separate cartridges. Or was it 6. A lot anyway

Some of you will have seen this before but any excuse to post the pic

Fantastic work. Any chance of a photo of one next to a normal platinum one so we can perceive the colour better?

Absolutely superb, one of my all-time favourite bits of Apple kit. As others have said, the blue-black is so beautiful and hints at a whole world of alternative Apple colourways that could have happened if they hadn't gone down the B&W route

I have a working B&W 15" TFT (no height stand, just the tripod leg so it does stand up) which I would be open to swapping for the right kit. Looking for 68k powerbooks and ethernet cards for IIci and SE/30

Yes it does. And 1024x768 is a decent real estate for 9. God knows how I got it to install though... took many hours of messing around with OF and hours reading macos9lives.com. If asked to repeat it... I simply couldn't

They are great. I have 3. The 867 runs Mac OS 9 which really flies with that horsepower and an SSD

Surprisingly easy to do yourself with some Q-tips, some lithium grease and a few tools. Start here: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=macintosh+floppy+drive+repair

That is fantastic. Great work and the 16" display is such a nice piece of design. The only thing is I might have been tempted to put a really hi res panel in there, but I suppose 1024x768 is pretty high res for the classic mac OS!

Found a pic of my grey Quadra 700

Fantastic work Reminds me of when I did a PowerBook grey Quadra 700

One of the few macs I've never owned... the PowerBook Duo This one comes with a 040LC processor and an active matrix colour screen, and 28MB of RAM upgrade. Will be good for playing Hellcats if nothing else! Paid £150 on UK ebay

That maybe many things but a beauty it is not! :-) Can just imagine Jobs cancelling them with gusto when he came back. Or did clones end before that? They can be very useful macs though. My dad kept a UMAX desktop going for years as it was the only mac in the whole studio that could talk...

What's the newest OS X that a system 6/7 machine can see and share to? Is this all documented on the Applefool site?
