My dad noticed this in an attic he was cleaning out at his old workplace. He called me and asked if it was worth anything to me, of course I said yes so he grabbed it and I just got it tonight. It had been sitting there for maybe 6 years. It would have been tossed out with the rest of the...

So I've been looking for a copy of the old shareware program for System 6, Mac Talker, by James Joaquin. This page is the only one I can find that's supposed to have it, but the link is dead: http://www.jagshouse.com/system_6.html ftp://ftp.jagshouse.com/pub/mactalker.sit.hqx (dead) Anyone...

I just saw an old ad for this thing, the Mac Charlie by Dayna, from 1984/85. Whatever happened to this thing? It was expected to be released in '85 for ~$1,200 but I can't find out if it ever saw the light of day. Was supposed to give Macs IBM compatibility, and IBM PCs the Mac GUI and mouse...

Had an amazing haul at Goodwill yesterday, best in ages! - 12 PC and Macintosh games, 5 of them boxed (some good SSI stuff) and Microsoft Bob! Caesar, Robosport, Rainbox Six for Mac - ADB Trackball Pro boxed - Radius Mac 512/SE Accelerator card boxed - DOS on Power Mac 8100's card by...

First a bit of back story - Skip ahead if you want to get to the goods :D I did some work for a local church years back involving restoring a few older computers (Pentium IIs and such) for use in a tutoring program they were doing for children. Mainly to teach typing and such. They...

Newly acquired Mac 128k sitting beside me, no way to get software to it. Now, here's my dilemma. The next oldest Mac I have is an LC575. It runs system 7.6.1 currently, which does not write 400k disks properly from what I've read. Even using DiskCopy 4.2 it does not seem to do so. I have 800k...

Just finished cleaning off my latest find: An original Mac, upgraded a bit. This is my first pre-90's Macintosh, and I'm quite happy! Paid $40 for it, though it doesn't come with a keyboard or mouse (so I'm looking for those, if anyone has one - see trading post!) Looks quite clean, very little...

Well, I just had my week made. I was out this evening, when I hadn't planned on being out at all and was kind of not wanting to drive places. I happened to be driving past an old pawn shop I hadn't visited in ages, so I figured why not, I had found a $20 bill on the floor earlier so why not? I...

(just noticed this may be in the wrong forum, sorry...) I just grabbed a cheap 6400/180 (see post in conquests), came with an M2943 multiple scan monitor. All seems to work well, but on starting up the red colors disappear. Sometimes they come back on then they leave again, making the screen...

Anyone ever heard of this offshoot of Goodwill, called the Goodwill Clearance Center? There's one now right behind the "Super" Goodwill where I am, near Asheville NC (it's like a Goodwill Wal-Mart, it's huge) Essentially, it's where the last 30 years go to die. It's a large warehouse basically...

I just got a SimplyTV card by eMachines for my LC 575. It works fine through S-video, which is what I wanted. However, is there a way to get it to display only one monitor/screen at a time? I know I can't do both monitors at once, since I only have 1MB of video RAM. But for some reason it only...

I have an LC575 with 7.5.5 and here is my question: is there someway to output video from the machine? Either through hardware or software. I do gaming reviews and want to do some classic Mac titles, but have no way to record them. I don't want to just point a camera at it and I would like to...

My Blueberry G3's sound is entirely too loud, even on the lowest volume setting. Any way to get it quieter? I have to turn the sound down on each program, which is annoying, and any OS sounds are freaking overkill.

I'm looking to archive some disks and files, and possibly CDs, is there a good recommended accessible program for OS 7.5.5 to compress to SIT? It seems DropStuff does this, but can only find some shareware versions which I've not tried. Never really tried to do this, only decompressed before, so...

Okay, so I actually relatively regularly find Macintosh stuff at Goodwill stores in my area (around Asheville North Carolina), but today was particularly good, and had to share. Here's the stuff, mostly software: Starcraft Starcraft Brood Wars Diablo Warcraft Warcraft II Warcraft II...

I have a few Macintosh games laying around and got to looking at their system requirements... many have lists of supported systems for colour and black & white. On several games (SimAnt, Lemmings come to mind), the SE/30 is listed as a colour system. I thought the SE/30 was a b&w...

Coming to you from my "new" LC575 here :beige: ... and I see in the System Profiler that I have a 68LC040 and I was wondering if all it would take to move to a full '040 is a CPU swap? That seems to be the concensus online, but just wanted to make sure it was that simple. Also, "thousands of...

A local pawn shop has an iBook G3 laptop for $150, looks great, runs fine. Was wondering what the value of one these would be, is this anywhere near a decent deal on one? I don't trust eBay at all for judging this. Thanks.

This is more of a question as to what I just found, not sure which forum this should go in... Just found some varied Mac games and what looks to be a nice condition monitor from Goodwill for a few bucks. It's a Magnavox Computer Monitor 80. It has audio in as well as video in, which I found...
