Figured that since I've been expanding my collection of all-things vintage Macintosh, I might as well keep it all in one place. (click thumbnails for bigger pics)
Here's the latest:
Newton Charging Station for my MP120
Adobe Acrobat 4.0 complete in box:
Shiva NetModem (New...
They made practically a million of them. They were extremely popular in schools. Nowadays, however, they're becoming fairly uncommon. As with all older technology, a lot of it has been thrown away/recycled by now.
The latest facet of my Apple collection. Most of these came from ex-dealers. The last one isn't an official Apple poster, but got it cause I thought it looked cool. Only the 8.5 poster is on the wall, but the rest are framed and ready to be hung.
Just got my first MessagePad, and only my second Newton product (eMate 300 - I wonder where that thing went?!) This particular one caught my eye because it has an early version of UPS TrackPad on it. I work for UPS and have never heard of this software myself. Apparently TrackPad still exists...
*almost* New-In-Box. Some manuals still shrink-wrapped and includes original registration card.
This has got to be the most elegantly-packaged software I have ever seen. Contained in "portfolios".
Burning at the lowest possible speed is key. 1x or 2x as mentioned above. I've had no issues with burned CD's working in older drives when following this method. Keep in mind that many newer burners/media/software can not burn at speeds lower than 8x or so.
This god damn machine is driving me crazy. I got my refurbished PSU back from Uniserver recently. Back in 2013 he also recapped the logic board. No dice. Machine only stays powered on when power button is "locked" or keyboard power is held down. No chime, no video, no hard drive spin up. Green...
Macintosh Color Display.
I actually got this about 2 months ago on eBay but I guess just forgot to post about it. I haven't used it yet, but I did test it and it does work. I was actually really surprised how good of condition it arrived in - not a single crack in it - considering how poorly it...
I was under the impression that all the System 6 utilities only supported the older Disk Copy 4.x format, not the newer 6.x format. Which is very unfortunate, since that what almost all of my images are saved as (as well as ShrinkWrap 3.x).
I'd personally pay big money for someone to write a...
As is true with all the 5x00 and 6x00 machines from the x200 series onward. Also most regular remote controls that are programmed with a Sony code will do the same.
Most office supply stores (OfficeDepot, Staples, etc.) still sell tractor-feed paper. They might not carry it in all stores, but you can certainly buy it from their websites.
