DM’ing you!Oh that’s neat! Yeah if you’re willing to part with it the manual would be neat to have.

That's gorgeous.. I love my 8100/110 but this is on another level of coolIt came! A little worse for shipping but I think overall I’m quite please haven’t done anything with it yet but I’m super excited to have it!
Yes it is, other than the video out connector which is DB15 on the radius. I’m a huge fan of the 8100 but I have been on the hunt for a Radius just because the case is so much tougher and well built and it doesn’t make me worry as much playing with it. I’ve got a super nice tricked out 8100 though here they are side by side for comparison.Got me thinking, …is the logic board in the Radius 81/110 identical to the one in an Apple PM 8100/110?
Yes! Another 8100 lover! They get such a bad rap but are such great machines, I personally love the look I know some folks hate it.That's gorgeous.. I love my 8100/110 but this is on another level of cool

I like how the Radius 81/110 has a normal video connector compared to the 8100's.
While the radius may be built better, I’ve gotta admit that I prefer the look of the 8100. But they are a real pain aren’t they. Radius is probably the safer investment!Yes it is, other than the video out connector which is DB15 on the radius.

I'll agree that it does have a lot of screws to take the case apart, but it's so much sturdier I'm not afraid to tinker with it and worry about breaking it. On the Radius the PS doesn't actually need to be removed it doesn't block anything important, the entire board/chasis will slide out with the PSU still attached and you can access everything, although it's still plenty of screws.The 81/110 needs the PS removed to get to a lot of stuff and isn't that fun to unscrew actually. The case is painted metal except for the front faceplate (cosmetic with removable metal backing), so it won't fall apart anytime soon.
That is a really nice condition G3 for $50, well done.Just picked up this little gem. https://www.ebay.com/itm/225638790655 Did I need it? Not at all, but the seller basically forced me to buy it, I threw him a ridiculous offer of $50 which he should have refused given it was already so cheap, but he didn't so I had no choice. I'm the victim here.
So far I've not retrobrited anything. The shades of yellow don't bother me so much as when you can't find a matching hue part to use. I dunno it just hasn't ever seemed worth the trouble to retrobrite things. Whether it makes it worse or not why take the chance? Also seems like a very messy involved process when I've looked into it.I dare you to retrobrite those.
It would actually be a nice experiment, since you have so many. See if it actually affects the brittleness or not, like many people argue about.

Aha so you’re the one hoarding all the black keyboards!I do have plenty of machines that are quite yellow, but yeah I dunno. If I ever get everything working and the only thing left is cosmetics then maybe I’ll mess with it.
But given the size of the pile I don’t think that will ever happen!

Lol! That’s a good eye! I do have a stash of them. Really need to go through them and figure out what I want to keep.Aha so you’re the one hoarding all the black keyboards!
