    Best source for SCSI to SD for my IIcx

    I purchased a CF AztecMonster from Artmix on eBay but I'm fairly certain I won't receive it.  He hasn't shipped mine and I purchased it quite a while ago and he's also received some feedback that mirrors my experience with him.  Not here to bash him, just stating.  I've looked at his products...

    eBay'ed a PowerBook 180. What to do next?

    I parted ways with $100 for a PowerBook 180 that came in the mail Saturday. I know it sounds like a lot for an old PowerBook but I wanted the 180b specifically and this one looked pristine. I didn't want a clunker - and I was thankful to not get a clunker. This is my first "retro" Power Book...

    Radius Monochrome Pivot NEW!

    It wasn't a sealed box but the packing around the monitor was sealed. It looks perfect! It's a model 0361. I just acquired a Quadra 700 and the NUBUS card came with the monitor (as well as all cables, software and documentation). BUT I'm wondering if the color Radius Pivot card for the SE/30...

    Mac SE Superdrive boots to a sad Mac

    Hello all, I've looked over the error codes on other websites but to be honest I'm still not sure what my error code means. I've got an SE Superdrive running 6.0.8, my daily machine, that at times boots to a Sad Mac with the 00000004 00000040 error code. Other times it boots to a checkerboard...

    Networking without ethernet via AppleTalk

    I'm full of questions this week... I wasn't getting enough 68k Mac time lately so I packed up my SE/30 and cleared off a spot on my desk for it at work. So far, mission accomplished. I've been using it on my lunch breaks and before and after work. I now have a networking dilemma, however. I...

    Keyspan 28X A Drivers

    I've been able to find the Keyspan 28XG drivers but my 28X A doesn't like them. Maybe I'm just missing them but I don't see a driver for it. It's the USB twin serial adapter, I'm trying to network my clamshell running 9.2 with my SE running 7.1. Thanks in advance!

    LaserWriter Plus

    I've been rooting around for a while now trying to get a LaserWriter for my Mac Plus. I happened to find a LaserWriter Plus about a month ago on Craigslist but it wasn't local. The seller told me if someone local didn't claim it they would then consider shipping it. Eventually someone claimed...

    SE/30 won't boot, grey screen.

    I'm wondering if I'm out of luck on this SE/30. It's a liberation that I knew didn't work but I thought I'd try my luck anyway. The great SE/30 repair reference (http://www.biwa.ne.jp/~shamada/fullmac/repairEng.html#SimasiMac) points to the "network filter" but says it's hard to find a...

    Really weird/crazy eBay Ad

    No, it isn't my listing but I got a chuckle out of it. http://cgi.ebay.com/RARE-Apple-Prototype-Pizzamac-LC-Think-Toppings_W0QQitemZ270339109694QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item270339109694&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=66%3A2%7C65%3A10%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318

    Where in the World is ... a good PRAM battery?

    I've got a dead Duo 270c and I suspect the PRAM battery. An on-line source calls it a 6 volt battery but that seems kinda high. Has anyone bought one, preferable in the States? If so, where from?

    QuickTake 150!

    My QuickTake 150 came in the mail today complete with box, booster pack for the lithium batteries and QuickTake Travel Case as well as the leather camera grip, all in good shape. Disks, wall charger and manual were also in the mix! All in nice working order. Here's the thing. I have an SE/30...

    Awesome liberation, or at least I think so!

    http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3120/2742454903_fa24d8659d_b.jpg If receiving my really sweet 300dpi AppleScanner in original box with manual weren't enough to send my overloaded sensors into outer space, this haul certainly was. A Craigslist headline labeled "Antique Macintosh" peaked my...

    Move into MacStation!

    I got a huge stack of old computing magazines through a Freecycle conquest a while back and have slowly been going through them. As I went through the December 1984 issue of A+, I noticed a few cool peripherals as well as MacStation. Check it out...

    I got hosed.

    My favorite G4 of all time is the MDD and I've never owned one, until now. I shopped around looking to replace my G4 GE and found an auction for a dual MDD 1GHz for $360 shipped (the $60 was for shipping). It was coming out of Georgia which enticed me more since I'm in Tennessee. One state...

    Mac Plus with video problem

    My Plus with HyperDrive 20 had some flicker going on. I wouldn't mind so much but it's my nicest Plus so I thought I would ask you guys what you thought may be wrong with it so I could replace it with one of my spares. http://www.flickr.com/photos/jeffjackson/2659377731/

    Would anyone be interested in recapping two SE/30's for me?

    The SE/30 I keep out and working 24/7 has very faint sound and I just acquired another SE/30 board but it gives the death chime. I'm going to test this board further but would anyone be willing to recap them for me? If so, how much?

    Networking a Mac Plus using info from mac128.com

    Okay, I've got a nice Plus setting on a HD20 that I'd like to network with my G4 tower. I really like this site (www.mac128.com) and started following their outline to getting this Plus networked. I bought an entire computer to get the DB-9 to 8 pin DIN connector because prices for these new...

    My new conquest sounds like it's shearing sheep!

    I nabbed this "MaxPlus" off eBay a few weeks ago. When the doorbell rang this afternoon I knew it would be my new Mac. I've just recently had a Mac Plus but have had an SE and an SE/30 for a long time, so that's what I'm used to. http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3241/2302537130_28360c7b5d.jpg...

    G4 Gigabit Ethernet - Power Supply Questions

    After much deliberation, I've purchased a badly needed video card upgrade for my G4 GE. I bought a 128mb Radeon 9800 Pro PC edition. It isn't here yet but it's on the way. I've also got a few cards in the machine: Slot B: SCSI Card Slot C: 4-Port USB Card Slot D: SeriTek ATA Card It's...

    No Text, or showing up as white!

    Hey all, I've got a fellow having problems viewing text on his iMac. I've included a few screen shots to let you know what I'm talking about. I've searched preferences and tried to make the same thing happen in my own Mac but have had no luck. Has anyone else run into this problem, but with a...
