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...
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".
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...
Kinda went nuts on eBay the past couple weeks...

But each book was only about $3 each. Every once in a while I go thru a phase where I'm totally completely obsessed with vintage Mac technical stuff. This is one of those phases.
And inside one of the books, stuck between...

First time I've ever seen one of these. Seller claims it's a Multiple Scan 15 (M2978). The model number doesn't match the standard Multiple Scan 15 display. Perhaps an early revision? Anyone know anything about this monitor? I'm fascinated.
Havent posted much in the last couple years. Been busy and haven't been playing with old Mac stuff until just recently. Picked this one up on eBay from a seller thats actually only about 20 minutes away from me. Included all original documentation and disks. This particular printer has...
Picked this one up on eBay. Was particularly interested because it had all the manuals. It looks like it has never been used. I didn't realize when I bought it that it also came in the original box! Only thing missing is the StarCommand software. Hoping someone here might be able to help me with...

Just wondering if anyone has used this service (or one similar to it) to restore their older PowerBook/iBook batteries. I recently purchased a Clamshell iBook G3 that has a dead battery and would like to avoid replacing it with a cheapo Chinese/eBay...
A few weeks ago I obtained a Macintosh IIcx. While it boots (as indicated by the HDD activity light), there is no sound or video. Removing the motherboard revealed numerous leaking capacitors. I don't know much about this kind of stuff, I'm not sure whether any of the traces are damaged. Perhaps...
Hey guys. It's been a while since I've done anything with vintage Macs, but I need some advice regarding linux and hardware.
I have 2 hard disk drives from an SGI/IRIX machine that I want to image/clone. The drives are ultra-wide SCSI with an SCA connector. The only logical way to do this, that...
Hey guys!
I've been out of the Mac scene for a while now. Lots going on, and I've run out of room for my collection (most of my macs are now in a storage unit). However I recently picked up some new items and it has rekindled my vintage Mac interests.
The first is a Mac SE Superdrive which I...
I've tried to connect a System 6 machine (both an SE and an LC) to an AppleShare server (technically Windows Server 2003) and can log into the server fine, but when I select the volume to mount, I get a bomb message with an error that says "Divide by zero".
What the hell does that mean?
If I...
Got this on eBay last week for just $5 shipped. Original box included. I've wanted one for quite some time. I prefer the iPrint over the AsanteTalk for a few reasons. It has a PhoneNet port as opposed to a serial port, so I can plug it right into the wall jack with a phone cord. Also, it will...
I'm wondering if anyone has done any experimenting with using Airport-shared disks on pre-OS X machines. So far, I've attempt to connect to the base station via AFP in the Mac OS 9 chooser, but an error comes up saying the AFP version is not compatible. I'm wondering if there is a work-around...
Wasn't sure whether to post this in the Peripherals or the G3/G4/G5 forum.
I recently acquired a Power Mac G4 466Mhz (Digital Audio) computer, which I purchased an AirPort card for. I installed OS 10.4 w/ updates on it, and it was able to see my wireless network in the Airport menu. When I...
Would anyone happen to have the ROM updater for the Global Village Teleport 56kflex modems? I believe there are 2 versions, dated July 1998 and December 1998. I am looking for either one. Global Village has a download on their site (probably hasn't been updated in 10 years) but it points to...
I opened my SE 4MB dual 800k today for the first time. I'm still terrified of CRT's, so I could not touch anything. However, I noticed that there is a DE-9 port in the expansion port, though the expansion cover on the back case was covering it. There is a wire going from this port, to a card in...
