I really like my Quadra 650.  Probably my favorite 68k.....

I get into this hobby intermittently. The biggest issue that makes me want to just put it all on eBay is these damned floppy drives.  They all just stop reading or writing. I've had half a dozen fail after only limited use and even after cleaning don't seem to want to cooperate.  

What can go wrong?

After looking at those pics I'm still unclear where the  zero-track sensor is.  Is it that thing marked 222?

Not sure.  I bought it off eBay years ago and tested it in known good IIsi, which I use as a floppy test platform.  IIRC, it also does it on a ci......

That is correct, it controls the position of the head.

Hi all, awhile back I received a Sony FMD-75W-01G that has a problem I cannot find information on.  When you stick a disk in, the motor that pushes/pulls the head just keeps going until the back of it runs into the front of the metal plate behind it and continues to click as the needle taps in...

Native Resolution is 1024 x 768 and I am running it at that @256 colors on the Quadra.   Text is a little soft, but colors are very bright.  looks great!  

I am still working on the IIci, but thanks to Trash80's scans I got the NEC going on the Quadra 650.  It looks really nice. Thanks

I would certainly appreciate the scan if you are able.  I cannot seem to find it through google Also, what does "N. J, O" mean?

Does anyone have a link to a manual on the Liberty adapter?

I have a NEC 1700V and a KDS/Radius RAD-5 I have a couple adapters, one with ten switches and one with nine switches and a wheel.   I am trying to use the internal video and an Apple Display Card 670. Anyone know of good combinations to try?   one question I have is, when the right...

hello, quick question I have an Apple IIe and when I use the "init" command to try to initialize a disk, I get a syntax error. Is there a good reference for commands on the Apple 2 out there? thanks

Well even as a one-off there's something to be considered: a second bidder was willing to pay US $555.00 for that Quadra.

Just spotted this as sold on eBay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Apple-Macintosh-Quadra-950-Ethernet-Card-Works-Great-Excelent-Condition-/140618140783?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item20bd7e8c6f I last checked on this several months ago, and they were selling for slightly over $200 there. It...

I purchased this from a member of the Arstechnica boards for what I deem a very good deal. It is the 1.3Ghz model running Tiger and maxed at 1.5gig ram and a 40gig HD. Also incuded were older iWork and iLife media. A 512mb Shuffle was thrown in too. I recieved this about a month ago and have...

I would argue that the G3 iMac will eventually become a valuable item because of the following: It was iconic, yet has now become a complete white elephant. they are readily available because no one wants them and like you said, are very inefficient to store. They'll eventually find there way...

You know, I think I have two 660av's sitting in my basement right now. Never booted them after collecting them a few years back. One I was told does not boot, but IIRC, it could be a dead pram battery....

I've taken the topcase of an old G3 iBook without damaging it by shimming the plastic carefully with toothpicks. Mind you, you'll lose a few toothpicks this way, but they'll break before the plastic does.

Here's what's getting rediculous for me. That machine is getting pretty close in spec to my main machine I use everyday: An AthlonXP 2500+ I need something new. :(
