So, I got this about a year ago for a steal - $125 with box and a pro keyboard. Anyway, when I got it, of course, it would not boot. I then read about the whole bad capacitor thing. So, I disassembled it, inspected the motherboard, and could not find one single capacitor on the motherboard that...

So, after getting sad after the LCD broke on my last pismo, I caught the itch to aquire another one. This is actually my 3rd, they are just too nice machines to pass up. I came across this ebay auction with one with the original packaging. I have seen the box before, but never one with the...

I saw an add on my local craigslist for someone who had 4 vintage macs, a Macintosh Plus (a real one), a Classic II, a Performa 575, and a LC I. I replied, hoping to get all of the macs, but he replied saying the compact macs were called for, and I already have a plus and a Classic I, so I...

Hey guys. I have both these fine machines. The 180 got roughed up real bad in the move, and the case is coming apart at the seams. One of the feet broke, there is a crack in the back of the display, it has no door or hinges for it anymore, and a few other problems. The 165 is in immaculate...

Just picked this up from Dan Knight yesterday. Paid $15 for it. Included the video cable. Cabinet is pretty yellowed, not nearly the same shade as my Iigs. It's a bass ackward monitor, too. Where most monitors I have handled have an integrated video cable, and a removable power cord, this one...

I discovered this card in my pile of cards, and popped it in my 6500. It's an Apple part number 820-0549-A, with copyright 1994. It has 1 coaxial port on it. I plugged it in, and put 8.6 on the 6500. When I press the TV/Mac button on the remote, it launches Apple Video Player. There is only one...

So, I got another email from my contact in the school district. They said they have more stuff that is going to be chucked, but I can have it. Some good stuff in the preceding email: Can a B&W G3 power supply be used in a quicksilver? I know the connector is similar, the apple proprietary...

Ok, so not very exciting. But my power adapter died, so a hop, skip and jump to the apple store later, and I have a brand new one. Works well enough. Anyways, I made an unboxing video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_F-DJOlGfs enjoy.

Hi all. I was wondering how I should have the disk drives hooked up to my IIgs, and how many I can have. I have 3 5.25" drives, a 800k drive, and a external FDHD, which I tested and it works. What order should I connect these? It seems the 3rd 5.25" drive does not work in this config (though it...

Anyone have this archived anywhere? I have an original of this, on 3.5" floppy. If anyone wants it, I can upload it. I also have a bunch of of other stuff from Quality Computers here in Michigan. Now that I have ADTPro working on my IIgs, I can backup my 3.5" disks. Most of the other software...

Hi guys. I have my pride and joy, 300mhz 14" wallstreet PDQ, and I figure it's time to resurrect it to see if I can. IIRC, it has a problem with the fan staying on, from the time I hit the power button, to the time I shut it down. From what I remember, I even tried taking the PRAM battery out...

Hi guys. With all the talk about archiving old VHS tapes, I decided to set up a machine dedicated to this task. I chose my beige G3 MT, because I have the personality card with the RCA jacks on it, from a G3 AIO. I installed Mac OS 9.2.2, and it works great. As a test, I set up my PS2 into it...

So, I have a choice. Sadly, I don't have enough for all 3, sadly. There is a Power Macintosh G3 233mhz desktop form factor. I don't see any other specs than CPU speed, but I have a MT already, and I had a AIO. Nice machines with interchangeable motherboards. I think it would be kind of...

watch this space, I just got this email in my inbox, and I quote: I am going to swing by later today, or tomorrow and check it out. Wish me luck. Hopefully I won't scrap most of it like I did last time. -digital ;)

Hey all. My new pet project is getting my workgrkroup server 8550/132 set up as a server. Not sure what I want it to do yet, probably hook up the color stylewriter 2500 and have it be another printer for all the machines in my house, or as a file server for part of my files. I will figure that...

Hi guys. I just picked up this beaut for less than 10% it's original price. It came with the system, power adapter (brick on a leash), monitor IIc, RF modulator, power cable for monitor, stand for monitor, Disk //c, and even an apple serial cable (labeled with a printer icon, but I assume I...

hey guys, I am trying to get my beloved eMate 300 synced to my desktop. I recently bought a USB to DB-9 serial adapter with mac drivers. It works flawlessly with my Apple II, so I figured I would try connecting something 25x as powerful. Since the connector on the serial adapter is DB-9 and not...

I finally got this working!! For anyone who is curious as to what it looks like, I made a video of it on youtube. It's running on my Platinum //e. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XuRpcEbY2h0 Enjoy. -digital ;)

Hey guys. I my recent conquest, I found a Nvidia Geforce 2 MX 200 PCI. I thought this would be the perfect upgrade to my ATI Rage 128, and hoped I could finally get quartz extreme running. However, I know you have to flash it first, so I searched around and found this that I thought had...

You know that guy I got the Compaq LTE 5300 a while back? He said he had more stuff for me a few weeks back, and today he delivered. Highlights include: A Belkin 7 port stackable hub, the modular one. It has the box, and AC adapter as far as I can tell. It says it works with the mac. Not sure...
