    A couple of IIci's...one from Buyee, and one for free(complete with original monitor)!

    So I recently won a IIci from Buyee...which in and of itself, isn't a big deal. But it had a Daystar Powercache 68030 card in it as well as a network card! The card is the 40Mhz version and doesn't have a 68882, but for the price that I got it all for, I think I did pretty good. However...

    ImageWriter Ribbon Cartridge Problems

    I have a few ImageWriter II's and I finally decided to get around to getting one of them up and running for a project I'm working on. The ImageWriter itself is in good shape, but of course, the cartridge that was in it didn't seem to be working. So I decided to swap it out for a new old stock...

    An old Techworks Accelerator ad

    I found this old ad from 1992 wedged into one of the manuals for a Daystar accelerator I recently acquired. I wonder just how many forgotten Mac Classics are still sitting on someone's shelves like in this ad......

    Daystar Powercache 50Mhz with all the trimmings

    I picked up this Daystar 68030 powercache accelerator with a Macintosh II adapter off of eBay. Added bonus was that it came with a whole bunch of documentation....even still has the warranty card! And it came in the original box too. Only thing that it didn't come with was a 68882 math...

    Does anyone know what this card is/goes to?

    I got this off of Ebay a while back in a lot of Mac parts. Judging by the chips that it has I think that it is a video card, but I'm not sure. Does anyone have any idea what this card might go to? Maybe it doesn't even go to a Mac at all!

    Macintosh SE/30 with a VDR-2a video card!

    I picked this up off of Buyee/yahoo Japan a few days ago. I put a sniper bid on it, expecting not to win....but by some miracle I did. Like most of us that look for SE/30's, what drew my eye to this machine was the fact that it had a video connector sticking out the back. Of course you...

    MICRON Xceed Grey Scale video card with the works for sale on Buyee! I wonder how much this one will go for?

    Another Micron Xceed grey scale video card for the SE/30 for sale, possibly a MacroColor 30? I'm sure the final selling price will be way over my budget! Looks like everything is there, including the neck board and the harness...

    Questions about Mac Handwriter: Does anyone have drivers for it? Has anyone here ever used one?

    Hello All! I bought this on Buyee Japan a little while back. As you can see, it's basically a Wacom tablet for your classic Macintosh. I've been trying to get it to work with either one of my SE's or SE/30's, but with no luck. The good news is that it did come with driver disks...

    Interware VDR-1A Cable Pinout Needed

    Hey everyone! I recently won an Interware VDR-1A video card. Unfortunately, it didn't come with the video out cable that attaches to the card. Does anybody have a pinout diagram of the cable, or just a picture of one so that I can make a cable for this card? Thanks!

    Micron Xceed MacroColor 30 original instruction manual

    So a few weeks back I bid on and won an Interware VDR-1A video card from Buyee. But the real interesting thing.....at least to me-is that it came in an original Micron Xceed box, and came with all of the supporting documentation for a Micron Xceed MacroColor 30 card! This includes the original...

    Yahoo Japan/Buyee major score- SE/30 with extras

    So the other week I bid on an SE/30 from Yahoo Japan. I new that it had a video card in it, but I didn't know what it was. It just came today; and not only does it have an Interware VDR-2j video card in it, but it also has an Interware 68030 50Mhz pass-through accelerator! I don't think the...

    Drive gear needed for an AppleCD SC

    Hello everyone! I've been working on restoring an AppleCD SC external scsi drive and I've hit a snag. Long and short of it, the eject/drive intake does not work. And the reason is that the drive gear on the eject/intake motor is cracked. It is a small, 4.4mm 12 tooth nylon gear. I've...

    Interware Booster 30-50F

    So I've been browsing/buying Mac stuff on Yahoo Japan for over a year now, and I have to say it is amazing how much old Mac stuff is routinely for sale on it!  My latest item that I bought is this:  an Interware 68030 accelerator, with the original box.....for only $100!  Well, at least that was...

    More Video Card probems-Micron Xceed 306

    Hello everyone,     As I sit here in my electronics room/Zoom office, I figured I'd ask a question.  I have a Micron Xceed 306 video card that I bought off of eBay about a month ago.  The good news is that it somewhat works; but that's the bad news as well!       Half of the displayed video...

    Interware VDR-2a video card for Macintosh SE/30

    I bid on this at the last minute about two weeks ago and was kind of shocked when I won!  Especially for what I paid for it; at $80, it feels like I practically stole this card.  It displays up to millions of colors at 640x480, and has pretty cool looking splash screen to boot: The cool splash...

    RasterOps Clear Vue GS30 for me SE/30 died...any ideas why?

    Hello all,      A few weeks ago I had the good fortune to pick up a few SE/30's with video cards, including one with a RasterOps Clear Vue GS30.  So I put it into my main SE/30 to test it out.  It worked well for about a week, having the ability to display 256 shades of grey at 1024 x 768.  And...

    A few SE/30's I found on eBay

         Last week while I was on eBay looking for old macs I came across an auction with 20 different old Macintosh computers, most of them compact macs- and a few of them SE/30's.  The total for the auction was $640 and you had to go to Iowa to pick them all up!       Long and short of it nobody...
