    Nabbed a 6500/300 with a few differences

    There was an edition of the 6500 called the "Creative Studio Edition" which featured the AVID card connected to the Apple AV-in card. That's what this configuration looks like. But that rear label looks very prototype-like doesn't it. The CSII card is a dialup modem card I believe.

    An impromptu live recapping of a IIvi

    I'm a big fan of Bruce's work and his excellent videos. Not to gloat but I feel like I've met a famous person as that's my IIvi board in this video  :)

    Apple Imagewriter II Restoration

    *waves* I've come across a lot of collectors of Apple stuff but never another Apple collector interested in Apple printers. Which I always think is odd, because an Apple printer will make a retro setup complete IMO. I also collect Apple scanners. Printers and scanners just seem to be a...

    Apple Imagewriter II Restoration

    My secondary Apple collection obsession is Apple printers so this thread interests me. I had recently been considering the possibility these printers would need re-capping to be functional again, and here we are. I have ImageWriters, StyleWriters and LaserWriters of various models, but I would...

    Schmeaux's present stuff and future conquests...

    I reckon I would have got my Colour Classic in 2000 too. Picked it up for free from my local library when they upgraded to a Windows PC for the 'word processing' room, haha. Mine came with all the manuals, discs and stickers. My goodness, those were the days! I guess that's why we collect and...

    Schmeaux's present stuff and future conquests...

    Cool thread, I'll be keeping an eye on this one every now and then. I like the idea of keeping a running 'conquest' thread. Add to it as you inherit/purchase or otherwise discover things. Might do one myself. Quite jealous of the Colour Classics. I have a couple myself but they all need some...

    Since everyone else is....

    Love the Mac TV, nice one. I have a spare black mouse, but I'm in Australia... Also, there are at least two of us here in Australia that have imported a Mac TV now :) but not sure I'd do it again, was pretty pricey 5 years ago when I brought mine in, would cost double now.

    The Ultimate List of Compact Mac Variations

    Fair enough, I've never seen reference to a platinum original face plate or bezel and (sorry) am not convinced it exists, would love to be proved wrong (gives me another variant to chase haha). I completely understand what you're saying re: yellowing. Put a yellowed platinum Mac next to a good...

    The Ultimate List of Compact Mac Variations

    I think I can already answer this question BUT here goes. In my collection I have a Colour Classic and a Color Classic. As far as I know, same model numbers too but I will double check. I don't know if you'd want to include this variation or leave it off (especially if they share the same model...

    The Ultimate List of Compact Mac Variations

    Does anyone have any photographic evidence of the existence of this one: M0001D Macintosh 512ke (platinum color, original style face, no stamping on front) I can't say I have ever seen an 'original style face' in Platinum. I've certainly seen M0001D's and certainly seen 512k's in Platinum but...

    The Ultimate List of Compact Mac Variations

    As I said, I've got a couple of Mac Pluses with the model number M0001AP. For interests sake, I also have a couple with the model number M0001A, yet they all have 240v PSU's (which as we all know the "P" designates the international power supply). Another interesting point, the M0001AP's...

    The Ultimate List of Compact Mac Variations

    I've had a couple of M0001AP's, they are Mac Pluses with 240v PSU's. I can take a photo if you would like? Also, there is a Macintosh Classic with a different model number which has no hard drive installed as standard. I have one of those too and can take a photo if needed. I can't remember off...

    Change line fuse on an Asante Maccon daughter card

    To me that looks like a fuse in a soldered-on fuse holder. But it appears you'd need to desolder at least one end of the fuse holder in order to release the fuse from between the two fuse holding end cap thingos.

    iBook G3/800 12" (02) Rescued

    That iBook G3 looks in wonderful condition. Even with all the little rubber feet! Nice save.

    Apple/Bose Roommate speakers

    Seems everyone agrees they're not much to listen to! I recently scored myself a set (wanted some for a while). But mine have the Apple logo, instead of the bars/box...? Weird. I can't vouch for the sound of them (unfortunately) as they're 110v. A slight oversight by myself. And no, I didn't...

    Apple/Bose Roommate speakers

    Who has a set? What's the sound quality like? As far as I know, they were originally intended to compliment the Apple IIGS... Were they ever sold outside the US? Also, going through photos, some have an Apple rainbow logo and others have an Apple rainbow square...? Any ideas?

    Original macintosh?

    I'm not sure the mouse-button thing to eject was around back then. System 1 you should be able to eject the boot floppy, certainly. As previously mentioned that is how you'd swap in another application floppy...? If it doesn't even sound like it's trying to eject, then it might have either...
