    PPC740 G3 CPU on a machine that came with a 603e

    I'm not sure if the OP hangs out here, but just spotted this over on one of the FB Apple groups... In the comments, he also got Tiger running! @max1zzz - this sounds like something up your street? 😀

    Anyone know what this NuBUS card might be?

    In a moment of weekend madness... I've won an auction for a Mac II with a couple of interesting NuBUS cards. Two I can identify, but the third has me stumped. It'll be a while before I have hands on it - it's on the other side of the planet from me - but here's a (blurry) pic from the listing...

    Dirty Macs - post your pics of the filthy ones

    Hi all, I thought I'd start a new thread on this... @Mods, feel free to move this to The Lounge or elsewhere if you prefer... To start things off - here are a couple pics of the logic board from a PM8100/80 I acquired for parts (PSU dead). Not sure I'm going to try to resuscitate this...

    PM 8600 shuts down unexpectedly

    Hi all, hoping someone has seen this before. I picked up a PM 8600/200 a while back, and today dragged it out to sort through a pile of 168pin DIMMs that have been piling up.

    As mentioned in the "Cloning the MicroMac MMXL99 LC-LCII-CC" thread... I have just picked up one of these little beauties, which seems to have one of the more crack-able GALs: There's not much info out there on the 'web about it... @max1zzz, @Bolle, have either of you looked into cloning...

The //c will boot from a FloppyEMU in 5.25" mode when directly connected to the internal floppy connector. Does anyone have any experience repairing one of these - or a...

    Total Systems Mercury 030 in a Plus

    I recently acquired a Total Systems Mercury 030 accelerator from another MLA'r... it had the default configuration and works perfectly in my SE - now SE/030! :-D I'd like to try it out in my Plus, which I know it supports.  However, I can't find any documentation on how to set the jumpers and...

    Should a 400k drive work in a Mac II or other non-compact Mac?

    I recently acquired a 512k Mac with an additional external drive.  Both drives were totally jammed, but thanks to the advice here and elsewhere, I have them freed up and accepting / ejecting disks.  I don't have the 512k recommissioned yet, so have tried them in my Mac II.  It sees the drives...
