    Finally got a Macintosh II!

    Oh nice! I'd gladly pay that for one if I could find it.

    Finally got a Macintosh II!

    That definitely makes sense! As @Juror22 pointed out later in this thread, I have the original Apple HMMU, not the 68851 PMMU. Yeah I do see a lot of battery-bombed IIfx machines and boards. Very sad! Thanks! Yeah the Mac II was definitely a massive change for the Macintosh platform! Man, $5...

    Finally got a Macintosh II!

    Oh man, that's super cool! I'd love to find a new FDHD kit for my main SE (which is an early 1987 version). Yeah it may be because it's an '020. But there's still so much cool stuff you can do with it! But the original LC is also an '020 and seems to get far more love than the Mac II so I don't...

    Finally got a Macintosh II!

    Yeah, the original Mac II doesn't seem to get much love compared to the later machines, which I think is unfortunate. But, that means they are still quite affordable today, so that's a plus! Oh man I'd love to have that poster today! So cool you got to use a Mac II back in the day! I wasn't...

    Finally got a Macintosh II!

    Completely forgot to mention the software I'm running on here! System 7.1 with the update 3.0 of course. Runs very good on here! I'm used to 7.1 on an SE so this thing feels blazing fast to me! And, I'm using my external BlueSCSI with WiFi currently for network access! I want to get a proper...

    Finally got a Macintosh II!

    Thanks! Darn, I swear I had more close-ups of the board, but I can't find them! I'll check it again next time I'm in there for the part number. Thank you! The FDHD upgrade is so handy to have. I mean, I could live without it but it sure makes things more convenient being able to copy small...

    I got an original Mac II and I felt it deserved its own thread! https://68kmla.org/bb/index.php?threads/finally-got-a-macintosh-ii.50395/

    Finally got a Macintosh II!

    I have been thinking about getting one for several years now and I finally decided it was time, I bought myself an original Mac II! Should have done it years ago, I LOVE this thing! Here's a pic of the Mac II right after I had gotten it fully working but before I cleaned it. You may notice...

    I was born in 2001, but man I sure do love 1980s computers! I wish I could go back in time for just a little while and see these machines in their heyday. :cool:

    With an Overdrive chip, I suppose that does technically count as a 486 with a Pentium, but that’s still kind of a confusing way to word it. “386 Enchanted mode” is a good one. I was absolutely ecstatic when I found this “computer stupidities” page, some of this stuff left me almost hurting I...

    WHAT!? That is INSANE! Great work. I love seeing newly-made accelerators for pre-SE/30 compacts.

    Finally got the WiFi Dayna port emulation setup on my external BlueSCSI with my Mac SE so I can now browse the web! It decently fast too thanks to the MacEffects accelerator I have in here! This is the SE setup I always dreamed of, and it's now possible at a very reasonable price thanks to these...

    Can’t put everything I want to say in one comment… but yes I agree they are fun pieces of history, I just wanted my main SE to have a quieter fan. I will probably put this one into my secondary SE, which is also an early 1987 model, because it’s in better shape than the one currently in that...

    Hah, yeah this is the fan from my main SE, which is an early 1987 unit. I switched it out last year for a Pico Ace fan from a later SE which is much quieter and doesn’t cause screen jitter like this one did. I find it so funny because this fan is made by Hosiden, the same company that made the...
