Thanks for that Mac 128, I guess it's time to crack open the compacts again.

With the help of Byrd, I recently did a successful ROM switch from my 'dead analogue board Mac Plus' to my 'dead ROM Mac Plus'. Of course one mac had to lose, now I have a vegetable on my hands. I'm now considering doing another procedure on my 512k, which would be replacing the broken floppy...

Very nice score! That thing sounds like quite the beast. Especially with the DVD-ROM ;) . Replace the HDD and add another 256mb of RAM and you're flying. The pismos are great performers - I once stuck Panther on one of them for a friend and it ran wonderfully (he used it for light web stuff...

Damn! You really did get those G4s for a steal. I've never seen one go for under $90 in my life :( . They're one of my favourite Ive designs - the floating screen is just spectacular. With the IIci, have you tried a monitor that supports sync-on-green. I had a similar issue with my IIfx until...

Definitely. I left a Dell Optiplex (covered in black plastic) in the back of the car for about 2 days (in the middle of summer, in Melbourne...) and when I went to collect it it was little more than a warped mass of black and grey plastic. Another issue is that with the older macs, moving them...

Thanks Cory! I have tried IE5, but as you said it had quite a few issues displaying many web pages. I actually use it for the lighter stuff, but if I'm doing any forum browsing or gmail checking then iCab is really best for it. In my experience classilla is especially demanding on all areas of...

Thanks mars, I'm now trying web browsing on the 6500 using iCab. It's working pretty well (I'm writing this message on it) apart from iCab crashing every 10 minutes xx(

The great thing about the 6500 is that you can plug in an external set of speakers and then still make use of the sub-woofer. I'm running a pair of old 1994 apple speakers (came with a quadra) with my 6500 and the sound is wonderful. The iMac slot-loaders were a great leap from the tray loader...

First off, I would just like to say that the 6500/300 is one of my favourite PPC macs - probably because of the great audio (subwoofer!), relatively powerful CPU and the great case design. Maybe also the fact that it's the only non-road apple in the 6x00 series :p . A few days ago I purchased...

Nice score! I got my original beige plus from a Lyons club (junk) store a while back. $5 with a keyboard and mouse. Even though it's power unit has since failed, it's still being the parts donor to my pet Platinum plus ;) . I remember seeing a 500mhz indigo the same shop once for 15 bucks. I...

Very slick machine. I recently dismantled ours after 9 years of sterling service - flyback transformers xx( ... I'm hoping to win a 500mhz Indigo off ebay, then it's to the chop shop for a nice motherboard transplant and maybe even a case replacement (depends how ambitious I'm feeling)... Up...
