Folks, First off, sorry if I've put this in the wrong conference, it's late, I'm tired, and running out of options. I'm having trouble getting Macs with Airport cards to talk to non-apple wi-fi routers. Case 1: G4/400 with airport, running Tiger won't talk to the wi-fi router supplied with a...

Less than an hour ago, my first 68K conquest in ages. :D It's an SE/30, not sure of the specs yet, all I was told was that it booted a few years ago. If it's a goer, I'll be happy. I've wanted a working SE/30 in the collection for ages. I'll put it up on the bench tonight and see what...

A few days ago, I got my hands on a Classic II with an allegedly dead hard drive. Replacing the drive was no problem, plenty of spares. Powered the beast. Yaaaaaaa!………No startup chime, stripes with some garbage, it finally settled on a checkerboard. :( So I hit the internets, a google...

Folks, Went to an AUSOM members-only swap meet on the weekend, didn't pick up a much mac stuff, a couple of Pismo CD and DVD drive units, a couple of games, stuff, boxes of stuff, all non apple, but, I did get an iPhone for $5. Yep. A genuine Ericsson iPhone, not the all show no substance...

Christmas came sort of early for me this year, well last year now. I gots my hands on a 17 inch iMac (G4/800), a snow iBook (G3/800), and a Bondi iMac (G3/233). The Bondi's drive is partitioned, two installs of OS9, one English one Japanese, so that's going to be interesting And a deadish...

Went round to a mate's place today who I haven't seen for a couple of years, and he gave me a beige G3. I haven't had a good look at it yet, haven't even dusted it off, but… It has an internal ZIP drive. :) Is has an AV panel on the back :) :) It's has a sticker on it to to with a...

Got a phone call from my Sister this afternoon, and when I was done talking to her, I talked to her other half, and he said he had a wheelie bin worth of computer cables left in his booth at work, many still in original packaging. Was I interested? Was I interested?! HELL YES!! You never...

Okay, so I've gotten through a couple Shadowrun novels recently, good reads. And I was thinking how cool it would be to have a Deck. And then I thought, Hey, I've got a couple of G4 iBooks with video problems out in the shed, what if… What if I removed screen, keyboard, trackpad, and put what...

Latest find, just today. At the Frankston Tip Shop And the more I saw of it, the more excited I got. Price was right. $5 Sapphire slotloader, firewire ports, VGA out. Looked reasonably clean. Even the PC-using friend i was with liked the look of it. Dead as a bloody doornail. ARGH! Nick

The other week, I did the Outlook recycling joint in Mornington. No Macs. But, there are Mac Bits 1x internal floppy drive on sled. 1x internal AppleCD 300 Plus on sled. 6x ADB mice. Just no Mac that they would have come from. Was strange. Oh, and I picked up a copy of Syndicate Wars in...

Got at a local market last saturday. VGC, with cradle and leather carry case. The price seemed right to me, $50 (not a conquest, but…) I'm happy with it, anyway. I figured I'd be able to get along without the software CD, as most hardware vendors tend to have that sort of stuff available...

Picked these up yesterday (Sunday)… One is a Pentium-S (?) running at 150Mhz, 12xCD-ROM, 1.2gig HD, Soundblaster something, 32 megs of RAM. Case is clean, solid build, little wear, 2x5.25 inch bays, I'm thinking a motherboard swap at some point. Might drop a faster CD in, and see if I can get...

Specifically the power requirements. TIA, Nick

Folks, I'm going to be doing some upgrades on a mate's LC 575 at some point. Bit more RAM if it needs it, If I have spares i want to part with, and larger capacity hard drive and a faster CD-ROM drive. But before I plunge in, I thought I'd research… Well, I thought I'd try and research…...

Spewing. Got given some PC stuff a couple of days ago, and in amongst it there was a PC card ethernet adapter, I was quite excited, Mum was mad that I had yet more junk, so in an effort to explain what the thing did, I inserted it into the lower bay on one of my 1400s. And went and hid the...

The other week I went with a mate to a recycling centre, and after a quick look around, headed for the computer section, pretty bare, couple of PCs, and then I saw it, platinum, turned out to be a IIsi, okay, well, I pop the case, and my heart sank, something had happened, something had...

Went to a local school fete before and lib'd an LCII and a PC of some description for $5. Teacher who was on the stall said she also owned an SE, but I couldn't convince her to part with it. She looked and sounded like a nice lady so I offered my services if she ever had problems. I also...
