Hi all, long time no see! :) I always felt I should share my personal collection with you, but I could never find the time to take proper pictures of it. Well, as a matter of fact I still haven't, but I figured I could just start the topic and progressively add more items! So I'd like to...

Hi everybody! While I still haven't had time to fix my 128k, I managed to grab a Color Classic the other day. The opportunity was too good to pass up, because these things don't show up that often in Italy.  To the point: the machine was sold as non-working because the owner didn't actually...

Hello everybody, I'm back again with another conquest of mine! This time luck has brought me nothing less than a Macintosh 128k, which I obtained from a guy in Italy. Now, the story of this poor guy is an unhappy one, unfortunately. The guy who sold me this one said it was in working order and...

Hi folks, it's me again! My usual "luck" has brought me a PowerBook 190 in mint condition that was supposed to be working, but actually it isn't. Let me explain. I found this PowerBook on eBay Germany a couple of weeks ago, the pictures showed it was working and it was cheap enough that I...

I was surfing the web earlier this morning when I happened to find this.  Now there's some *serious* hacking involved! A few things he's done: 1) He's got an ARM-based computer running off the original power supply, if I'm not mistaken 2) He created his own PCB and video driver to drive the...

Hi there! The title says it all - I've recently acquired a Macintosh Portable "demo unit" (much alike the one who was being sold on ebay a couple of weeks ago) that was selling for a pretty low price and I'd be interested in getting it back to work. The unit has multiple problems, including a...

Hello guys! While still trying to get my two Pluses working, last week I've bought a nice Macintosh SE (the FDHD model) for about 60 euros including shipping (the shipping actually cost more than the computer itself!). This poor guy was advertised as working, but there are a few problems that...

Hello guys! I've been given a not-recapped Macintosh LC that's behaving strangely.  It powers up and chimes very happily (though the volume is low, so it's in need for a recap soon), it boots without an issue from an external SCSI drive, it recognizes internally connected SCSI drives (though...

Hello! :) As this is my first post here, let me say that I'm very delighted to have found such a wonderful community of people who still cares about our beloved, ancient Macs. I think it's a really helpful place, it has already saved me quite a lot of time! Next, I'll move on to the problem...
