I liberated a Quadra475 for 90€ incl shipping in Germany yesterday. Got it on Ebay: https://www.ebay.de/itm/375247703789 The seller says it looks clean from the inside, but doesn't do anything when turned on. I guess caps have leaked on the logic board and PSU, as is tradition. I'll deliver...

Before i order 2x 512kb VRAM for my Quadra 650: Is there any information i need to know in regards to latency of the chips and a 40MHz overclock? Is it possible to use 2x 1MB VRAM? The documentation i have found says 2x 512 is all that's possible.

So i pulled the board out of my Quadra 650 to overclock it from 33 to 40MHz. Wanted a socket for the oscillator too, in case i want to try 44MHz some day. Enjoy my journey! Mind you, i am half blind. 😅 The idea was simple, unsolder the old oscillator, solder in a socket and plug in the new...

I just ordered a handmade, italian linen cover for my SE/30 and keyboard on Ebay (search 275298261159). :love: We like nice things, don't we?

These are great, 5ms random seek time and almost no noise at all. To put them into anything with a 50 pin SCSI cable, you need an SCA 80 pin to 50 pin adapter. The search i use at Ebay: IBM 2.5 10k U320 -sas There is one in the UK for an acceptable price: The adapter search: sca scsi adapter...

A CD Rom, a hard disk and two tape drives, also 4 new 12GB tapes. The hard disk is tested and works with a SE/30. I replaced the 5 1/2 inch Sun disk with a 3 1/4 inch IBM disk, which according to Lido not only seeks faster, but is also a lot less noisy. I think i'll keep this and sell my Rodime...

After looking for almost two decades, i found a SE/30. No upgrades, 8MB ram, 40MB harddisk, fair appearance, works fine. Didn't open it yet. Sadly, i had to fork over 225€, dude was cold as stone and thought he could easily get 700€ because he saw it on Ebay. :cry: Anyway, my 68k collection is...

Cheers. I got two G4 Power Macs, one 667MHz, one 750 Quicksilver, payed 40€ together. Both have very loud and slow IDE drives. Thought i update them with some old Sata SSDs i have. Should i get a special 40pin IDE to Sata adapter or are the 8€ ones from china ok?

So, i was just looking into that old and beaten Classic i had in a box for what seems like years. Caps are leaked, green muck on the traces, it still starts, but without sound. The hardware is pretty much the usual, memory expansion to 4 MB and a hard disk. And i found this: The...

I'm not sure it's the right place, maybe it should be moved to the Lounge. I just found this comparison between an Applea nd a china knockoff Ehternet-to-USB converter. Kind of interesting: http://projectgus.com/2013/03/anatomy-of-a-cheap-usb-ethernet-adapter/

Yes, there is some yellowing in the first gen iMac already. I have three. One has a good picture, but yellowed case, another has a good case, but bad picture, so i swapped. Here is what i learned: The case is made of two layers, the outer see-through layer, which is good plastic, not brittle...

Someone next town sells a broken iMac. I placed a bid. Even if it's broken beyond repair, some parts should be salvageable. :lol: The seller says it's a M5521 in green. The seller hasn't answered my questions for a couple of days. It seems to me it's a third gen iMac with the new HK-speakers...

Is there some special secret why they all are broken? Maybe something i can fix? And if not, what model do i get for replacement?

I have no experience with newer Macs whatsoever. I have a Rev A iMac, but believe it's not enough to play modern, games that where available for the Mac OS 9. So here is my wishlist: should be as silent as possible should be able to play all games that came out, even later ones, within reason...

While feeding my demons and searching for p0rn of insects getting drunk on rotten fruit (i'm a complicated man, don't ask), i came across this page: http://www.ikasu.net/lombard/hdd/scsi/ It seems this particular gentleman was, some 11 years ago, highly interested in benchmarking of harddisks...

Gents, would this do the trick? http://www.ebay.de/itm/4MB-SGRAM-Video-SODIMM-Memory-Upgrade-/350213344883 He lists all sorts of iMacs, but not the 233 MHz Model i have. :?:

I liberated quite a bit of small stuff recently: 1 CD-Caddy. Finally i can listen to music on my C610! (1 Euro) 1 Net Talk Connector kit from Apple, new, still in the box, never used (2 Euros) 6 Net Talk Connectors and some cables, they look good, but not as good as the new one (6 Euros) 1...

Do you guys know wich brand is reliable and still freshly fabricated? I thought it is time to copy all my old 3,5 floppys to new material. Any advice?

First, excuse me for dragging that LC in here, but it's basically a Centris 605. I have, at a friends house, a nubus adapter for my IIsi. As far as i know one can pop in a math processor like this into the adapter, thus giving the IIsi a FPU. Right? http://www.ebay.de/itm/220846013303 I also...

I believe it's time i update my Quadra 650 to it'S full potential. You know, the works: a cdrom, new caps, larger disk, max VRAM. Ram is maxed out, so there isn't anything to do there. The most unobtainable piece of the puzzle is the cdrom bezel. Do you guys know any source where i can score...
