Although I have tinkered with macs in recent years it has been ages since I actually purchased one. Today @ my local auction picked up a good looking Powerbook 150. I know it s not the best model but at least it uses IDE. For 8 euro I couldn't resist. No psu but I had one laying around from my...

My quicksilver just got replaced by a pentium 4 as my main system (yeah I'm modern). Since I also own a cube (it was my dad and I'm keeping it for nostalgic/recipe computer in the kitchen) I was thinking of transplanting some parts. Ram,GFX card and HD. And I was thinking is it possible to...

I was on a fleamarket in our capital (Brussels) this morning and saw a powerbook lying around. I asked the price and the guy said 20 euro. I was able to haggle it down to 6 euro! Cosmetically it looks great but I doubt it will work (I've heard the horror stories about failing hd's and screens...

Hiya all, Sometime ago I bought a Sonnet G3 from Strimkind on here, but I don't have the actual software to make it work. On these forums I found Sonnet Crescendo EnablerV31. But it doesn't work, it freezes upon loading the extension. The Powermac works fine with extensions off. I also googled...

Soo... I just installed WC3 on my cube which runs 9.2.2. All is well, until I want to play a network game. It starts running the software updater first. No sweat. After the restart I notice that the actual application is gone!It is replaced by a program Warcraft3.app so I guess it is replaced...

I have a SE with a borked mobo and a 6400 with half a tower. I would love to combine the two but could use some pointers. How do I connect the motherboard to the SE monitor for example. Tips and tricks are welcome!

My girlfriend and I just bought a house. Since there was a lot of trash inside and we broke out so stuff. We did several recycle park trips. But everytime I come home with something new for the skip. First it was a pcmcia to CF adaptor. Then a Wallstreet battery + AC DC. Yesterday I found a...

I don't know if this is known or not but I found this file in my SE's hard drive. Altough the idea is completely obsolete(IBM vs Apple,when were they last direct competitors?),it still puts a smile on my face.P ut it in your system folder and reboot :) .I have tested it on a powermac with...

A guy whom I bought my first 68k mac from almost a year a good sent me an email that he had some stuff I could pick up for free. Needless to say I got on my moped with a very big back pack and went on my way. The score: a Macintosh SE: the hard drive seems to be borked and the floppy is...

This guy is selling a plus for 35 euro. I find that a lot+it is very far from me. But look at this picture is there some sort of card installed or did they just remove the pannel?

Thanks to djcommie overhere I obtained a LC PIVOT INTERFACE. I was hoping it would give my LC II a much needed graphics boost. Sadly I doesn't seem able to do higher resolutions then the standard 640X480. There are a lot of cool functions but you need a pivot monitor for that. This pivot...

Hi, I got this videocard cheap it is a HIS Radeon 9250 for PCI. I tried to follow all the tips on Mac elite, but the flasher program wont even start. it always says that the rom files are bigger then the actual rom. (I also tried the reduced file sizes.)The card does get recognised as a VGA...

I just installed OS 9.22 on my QS 867Mhz with 1.5 gig ram. I'm loving Classila and all the speed but one thing that annoys me is the lack of some decent drivers for USB. It won't recognise much. USB 2.0 PCI Card? not much responce... Scrolling on a pc mouse doesn't work. mass storage device...

Today started a bit boring with not knowing what I would do to keep myself busy. After having lost twice with Warcraft III multiplayer, done the dishes and fed the plants, I decided I should finally work out my plan of turning my PowerMac 6500/275 (the fastest -G4 computer I own.)into a...
