    Possible NeXT conquest....

    I am so pumped! I found a complete NeXT setup sans the monitor cable for $20. I am second in line to buy it. I am hoping the first buyer falls through... Wish me luck!

    OS 9.2.2 Update?

    Anyone know where I can find the 9.2.2 update legally? Software Update in 9.2.1 no longer works, and everything on Apple's site leads to a dead end.

    iMac G4 - ethernet port dead

    Ok, so I bought the iMac knowing that the ethernet port wasn't working. I looked at the pins and all of them are fine. I've already reset the PMU and the NVRAM with no luck. I did a Google search, and some people got lucky when they reset their PMU and NVRAM. Me? Not so lucky. Any help would be...

    ID'ing iMac G4?

    So... I will be getting an iMac G4 within the next few days. It's an 800MHz model. Problem is, I am not sure if it's an OS 9 capable model. I was told by someone that if it has the "iMac" font like this (Which the one I am getting does), that it's OS 9 capable -...

    For those that need USB 2.0 in their G4 Tower...

    This is a excellent solution... and it's CHEAP! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170697718494#ht_2836wt_952 It may take a while to get from China, but it works great, and it has the NEC chip that OS X recognizes. Not sure if it will work on 9, though. Works great in my...

    Maxpowr G3 card help.

    So my Power Mac 7600 has a 300MHz Newertech Maxpowr G3 card installed. Problem is....I can't find an owner's manual online anywhere to set the DIP switch settings. They are all set as on or off... I can't remember, and it shows up in the system profiler as a 335MHz card. Here's the main...

    Stupid but very important question!

    I was just taking apart my SE/30 because my repaired board will be here today. Problem is, I found a very small jumper laying inside of the computer... is this the HD's jumper, or are there any jumpers on the analog board that could have came off? Just wanting to know before I power it up...

    I am happy to report.....

    ....That my 5500/250 is alive and well! The transplant was a success. Big thanks to johnklos for the 6500/275 logic board! Pic - (Cell phone... can't find my camera) Yes, the time is wrong. I still need to get a battery, but the little box ones are expensive.

    My new (to me) SE/30!

    Here she is! I am so excited to finally have an SE/30. Not only that, but I got it at a great price. I've been wanting one since I first used one in 1997 in 3rd grade to play various games at recess. At the time, I thought it was cool because it was small and that it had a black and white...

    Memory steal!

    Picked these up on eBay - 8 x 4MB Viking brand (Motorola chips) modules.....got them for a nice price with free shipping. Should make a nice amount of memory for the SE/30.

    Crazy iMac conquest!

    So earlier I'm driving down the road, and I see something blue laying in a ditch. I drive by and then realize, HEY! Wait a minute.... that's an iMac! So I back up to where it was. Sure enough, a 233 Revision B iMac laying in a ditch, busted all to heck. So I picked it up and tossed it in the...

    Virtual PC 7 not recognizing XP CD?

    So this is driving me nuts. I bought a new in box copy of Virtual PC 7 at the flea market for $10! Problem is, I can't get the dang eMac to pick up the XP Professional CD. I followed the instructions it gave me, and it says "OS not found. "Install an OS on this hard drive" and Reboot and select...

    Aluminum PowerBook feet?

    So... this is driving me nuts. When I got my 12" AL, I noticed that the feet were worn down to the point to where the whole bottom of the computer was touching any surface I put it on. I tried using some generic stick on feet as a temporary solution, but the adhesive broke down and is making a...

    Conquest - PB 520

    I'm excited! Just won a PowerBook 520 on eBay for a whopping $8.01 plus shipping! Only bad thing is it has no power adapter. Hopefully I'll come across one soon. Will update this topic as I progress.

    Woo! MDD is back online!

    Finally... after nearly a month. Long story short... my Corsair RAM failed.... one of the contacts fell off a module, while the other was acting up. I sent them in, waited 3.5 weeks, and finally got the replacements today! I'm so excited.... I felt so lost without this computer.... Windows was...

    Before I install Leopard on my PB...

    I'll ask this.... How does Leopard perform on a 867MHz PowerBook with 1152 megs of RAM? Is it worth doing it, or should I keep Tiger?

    I HATE waiting! (Aluminum G4)

    I hate waiting for something I know will be here today. I won a 867MHz 12" Aluminum PowerBook on eBay the other day for a whopping $66. The problem? The superdrive doesn't work and the seller said it runs extremely slow. I think it's either because it was running Tiger with 128MB RAM, or the...
