    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?

    512k to Mac Plus upgrade...

    So we all know that a LOT of 512k Macs were upgraded to Mac Plus during the mid to late 80's, via "upgrade kits" that Apple released... That means, you still find an odd hybrid Mac that consists of a 512k front bezel (+CRT and analogue board) with a Mac Plus rear bucket and logic board. I have...

    Last weekend

    Had a wanted advert locally for an M0001ED (Platinum) and had a phone call. Usual deal - "I've got one but you must take the lot." Turned out the M0001ED was actually beige (damn) but he had some other interesting bits so we haggled and struck a deal. The stash: Macintosh 512k (M0001E) -...

    Evening conquest

    Well, none of it is particularly inspiring however it's a conquest none the less... On my way around to my Sisters house (visit for her B'day) and spotted a lonely Mac SE on the curb side. Pulled over and jumped out and there was also a pair of 6100's, a pair of 7100's and a Performa 6360 so...

    too much for one weekend!

    Loaded up my panelvan with a whole stash of Apple gear Saturday, only just finished sorting through it and packing it into shelves in my shed before it got dark. As these larger conquests tend to be, it was all free. The guy used to own an Apple repair centre locally. Parts: stack of logic...

    Macintosh 512k ED

    Over the weekend I picked up a Macintosh 512k ED which has been gutted and unfortunately had the handle chopped out as it had previously been converted to be used as a Macquarium!!! :O Anyway, I still bought it (read: saved it) for $65 8-o which is obviously a lot of cash for a very dead...

    Performa 200!

    Hey folks, I'd like to say a public "thank you" to a fellow 68KMLA'er (TheNixer) for my latest conquest. I've got myself a Performa 200! I realise it's "just a re-badged Classic II" but I had to have one in my collection. Another terrible photo, I know.

    latest conquest - Macintosh ED

    Finally got my hands on a Platinum Macintosh ED (512k). Powers on to the over-voltage crowbar. Hopefully it's repairable, I'll have a look sometime though I'm not overly worried, just glad I've finally found one. A quick cleanup reveals it's in good cosmetic condition other than a few small...

    Ok so I know there's a fair amount of info on the net and on 68kmla regarding decoding the Sad Mac error codes however, I'm stuck... I've a Mac 512k here which is in fairly average cosmetic condition and it starts up without chime and shows a Sad Mac with the number 02A000. Any ideas what this...

    Performa 200 on ebay

    I have a couple of early Macintosh 128k's (with just "Macintosh" on the back). However they all have International analogue boards pn: 630-0108 with red PRAM battery compartments. Anyone know why these particular Macs have red battery holders? I've not seen any others like this, all my other...

    PowerBook G4 Titanium

    Picked up a cosmetically immaculate 400MHz Titanium PowerBook G4 last week, wasn't powering on and needed CD drive replacement. Had a spare 500MHz one at home, working but with a smashed screen - made one out of the two. New specs are 500MHz, 768MB RAM, 20 GB HD, DVD-ROM, Airport - not bad for...
