Can it work? I have a Reply card in my Q800's PDS slot and I am seeing Orange DOS card on eBay (nubus) that will fit in my Mac.  Can 2 or more DOS card work together?

I just got it in today and I've looked over the motherboard and parts.  The battery hasn't exploded but it was dead (blue label Inorganic brand) I replaced it with a good purple battery. Removed the extra memory, the only Nubus card (ethernet but has 15 pin connector and old base-2, guess...

After missing out that free Q700 by minutes, I decided to check other sources and picked up a cheap Q800. I'm planning to put the PPC upgrade and Video Spigot card in along with a video card if I can find one that is better than onboard video (with 1MB upgraded VRAM) It's too bad IIe card...

My Mac Plus is stored at my parent's place and I don't have any plan to make a 400-ish miles trip just to get the Mac Plus. I did find the 20MB hard drive with the disk drive cable.  Currently I have a Powerbook Duo 280 and floppy dock which takes a square powerbook style connector, a Wallstreet...

I have a bunch of memory sticks and I wanted to kick up my Centris to max 68MB but something isn't working right.  A 16MB SIMM shows up as 8. A 32MB SIMM shows up as 8.  I put in 2x32MB, it shows a grand total of 20MB (4MB onboard plus 2x8MB)  I tried mixing and matching and I tried one at a...

I was looking at some pictures of Apple Display cards and noticed some has 512k soldered onboard + 2 slots for 2x256k upgrade, and some has 1MB onboard and no slot. Can this display card be hacked to have full 1MB onboard and have 2x512k VRAM simms installed for 2MB total?

251653134885 on eBay, not mine.  Starting at cheap 99 cents bid so no price bashing please! Seller says it is a Color Classic II but when I took a closer look, the word Color is missing from the front.  Also is that a very yellowed screen filter on front?  Almost made it look like a separate...

My Centris 610 still has the stock 80MB hard drive and it's now 21 years old so I should do something. But i don't want to replace or change OS so it will still be running System 7.1  IIRC there's limitation, was it 2GB max without HFS+ support or something? A CF adapter won't benefit from...

It ran on my PowerMac 7100 with OS 8.something (it died long ago), and I'm pretty sure it's a screensaver. I think it had something like 3D Enabled in the name, it had music and when it starts it shows the program's logo and cluster of sparking stars that were moving around. Then the screen...

Back in the old day, Macintosh LC had very limited space and was limited to either 2 dlsk drives (original LC) or 1 disk drive and 1 hard drive, no internal CD or other drive option.  And only 1 PDS slot.  MicroMac offered an option to expand the LC to add many more upgrade options. (I believe...

First up, I was reading about DOS card for the 6100 and how it could also be used in Quadra because without the 6100 angled adapter, it uses Quadra style PDS slot. The adapter however won't fit either the 610 because the slot is different. The PPC upgrade I have for Quadra also uses PDS style...

For lack of better term, I've had a Duo 230 suffer from small pink blob and I've seen a few other like this. For some reason it seems I've seen this only in Powerbook B&W LCD?  Maybe I hadn't seen it elsewhere because non-Mac laptops were often thrown in the trash before it gets old enough...

My 610 is my original "new" first Mac, not used or second hand but brand new and it has served me although it's pretty much used for gaming these days. I'd like to keep it for many more years so the obvious issues are caps. Is there a list of caps I need so I can rebuild my Centris? I'm getting...

Scored this almost new box of powerPC upgrade. The box is distressed and has markers "$10.00" and "Do not open" plus some water stain. But inside is quite nice with books, papers, the PowerPC card and the 610 adapter plus a few dead bugs. The only thing that seems to be missing is the System...

Typical IDE (both 3.5 and 2.5") hard drives and connector has one blocked pin. The CF adapter I got has all 44 pins and won't fit in the connector that has one blocked hole.  Which pin is the right one to snip?  The CF adapter doesn't have pin numbering so I can't even tell where pin 1 for...
