• Updated 2023-07-12: Hello, Guest! Welcome back, and be sure to check out this follow-up post about our outage a week or so ago.

Just scored a Performa 6400/200

After buying a 6100/60, I found a 6400/200 with a keyboard and mouse for $50.

Complete and supposedly boots.

My oldest and I are cleaning it now and will do a refurb while waiting for the 6100 to show up.

Super simple 840 clock battery replacement. 2032 battery in some adhesive lined heat shrink. Positive and negative leads are just coiled and the heat shrink keeps them attached. Verified voltage (3.26V) and stuck on the old velcro.

Once you get the 6100 you'll need to play Marathon networked, and Super Maze Wars. Also F/A-18 Hornet.

To network them, all you need is a single standard Apple serial cable, long enough to reach :)
 
Burned a OS 8.6 install disk and it sounds like it boots to the CD. The Apple video to VGA adapter should be here tomorrow. Here's to hoping the adapter actually works. I haven't had a non-Intel Mac in the house since my iBook G4 died 10 years ago.
 
Pulled the cooler, repasted it. While looking at overclocking the 6100, I noticed somewhere it said a 40mm fan fits in the heat sink. I think it was kan.org. 40mm happens to be the same size used for the Ender3 3D printer hot end. Ran a couple jumpers down to +12v and ground.

Got the VGA and ATA-SD adapters today. Burned a new coy and installed 8.6. Going to install 7.5+ and 9, just because. I can verify everything works. I’m pretty damn happy.

I did this myself, it runs super cool with that fan in there! Even if the PCI card is above it kinda muffling the fan, it still cools the CPU well enough.
