Yaaay, I have always wanted one of these. I have a question though. I am hesitant to put this in my IIsi. Last time I added an accelerator card to a IIsi, I fried it. I vaguely remember there being some difference between the IIsi and other II's that prevented you from using certain cards...

So I hit the North Shore last night and grabbed some stuff. Nothing too crazy: 6100/60 max ram, no hard drive, dirty case 6100/60 ? ram no hard drive, dirty case, yellowed, missing tab on back 6100/60AV with HPV card and Some form of Sonnet accelerator, maybe g3, max ram, slightly yellowed...

You guys may have heard of this dude before, Herb Johnson? Apparently he has a bunch of cool and semi rare stuff for sale, including 6100 Nubus Adaptors, which I just asked about ordering from him: http://www.retrotechnology.com/herbs_stuff/m_nubus.html

There is a broken SE/30 for sale near me for $10. It has a Micron xCeed greyscale card in it (according to the seller) and he does not seem to know these are rare or valuable. I called him and he informed me that the machine is already spoken for, but if the guy backs out he will call me. I...

Though this might interest some people....it's basically how virtual memory was first implemented on the early macs. US Patent 5063499

I noticed that in some Macs, there is a long slot behind the last NUBUS slot. It is visible in a IIx (but not a II) a IIvx, and the IIci. Now I know that in a IIci, it should be the slot for the cache card, which checks out, given that I have seen these installed in IIci's. However, evidently...

I liberated a IIci this weekend, with 32k cache card and 32 MB ram, 80MB HDD. The machine was almost brand new. It was owned by some rich dude who never used it, it had a few word processing docs on it and that's it. It's been in a box unused since 1993. It came with a set of system 7.5...

So I found an interesting score, a replacement motherboard for my beloved IIsi. My current motherboard is a recent one (Late 1992 date codes on the chips) but the SCSI/SCC controller chip has a LOT of green oxidation and corrosion on the pins. Anywayyy, so I bought a board of this guy and lo...

Hi guys, hopefully someone can help me out here. A friend of mine working on their Mac II in MacsBug, debugging the sound for a game they wrote, is noticing that something keeps stealing interrupts. Like an interrupt will occur but stepping through it and trying to RTE from the interrupt will...

I Liberated a B&W G3 yesterday. Except for some outer case dust, it is flawless....it looks like it came out of the box. G3 300, 512MB of PC133, 80+14GB Hard drives, and a 16 MB Rage pro. Anyone have suggestions for a CPU upgrade or a video card upgrade? I'd like to play Unreal...

Hello all. New user here. I have been a huge fan of Macs since before they were sold, I've been using them in one form or another since 1983 (Yes they existed before they shipped in 1984 ;) ) I started out with a Lisa, and moved to a Mac Plus for many years. I started hacking on that...
