... and it came through just now, nice! All good 💪

Same 😅 I don't know how long it should take

All right! I've had a good half hour to do some "work" with Markette this afternoon (writing up a campaign setting for my D&D group 😄) and here's some notes! First up - this rules! The featureset is really well balanced and I can easily "zone in" and focus on getting the stuff down. I...

This is Rad As Hell on a portrait display! Haven't had the chance to do actual work with it yet, but seems great so far 😆 Quadra 650 (in a Q700 case) running System 7.1

Here's a video that gives a little LCII history and gives a rundown of a full refurbish - the logic board gets handled at around 11m 30s I also use the twist method he describes to remove caps, works great for me!

Hey congratulations! The LC family are super fun machines to work on and don't take up much space, so they are great machines to get your feet wet 😆 It is going to be a bit difficult to figure things out without a monitor - you can usually find a DB-15 to VGA adapter fairly cheaply, or someone...

It should fit with the extra VRAM - there is juuust enough clearance above the crown heatsink for the PPC601. I keep the SCSI ribbon for the hard drive on top of the mounting bracket and the case seems to close ok. I have dremeled off the "hook" on the top case plastic tabs so I don't snap them 😆

I have a 6100 with the "passthrough" G3 PDS accelerator and an HPV from a 7100 connected to that. The HPV has the extra VRAM chips and fits just fine! It's an awesome machine, the ultimate "family pizza" 😆 I think the 8100 HPV is exactly the same dimensions, only difference is the VRAM (I no...

This looks super cool! I was just thinking about what kind of software to put on a 6.0.8-based "workstation" computer (eg a IIcx or IIci running Wingz, WordPerfect, SuperPaint, etc.), going to add it in next time I have it set up!

That's a ton of great projects right there 😄 If the Q840 is unsalvageable you can at least take the 040 and plop in the LC475. And a 7100 board in a IIc_ case makes for a great sleeper minitower 💪

Mine's running Batocera for console emulation in our living room. It's loaded up with vaporwave music! I call it my "Bintendo Gametube"

I jumped on a eBay listing about a month ago and it just arrived. I feel I really lucked out, there's all kinds of fun stuff in here! I'm planning to juice up my 6200s with some board swaps etc. but looks like I got 2 PCI PC cards, Y cables, a bunch of GIMO jank, way more COM lot modems than I...

Ah the 8.2 should be without the 256kB L2 cache @Snial , whereas 9.0 is with. I also got a 1MB cache but it's on loan to Bolle! I'm getting a big pile of 630-compatible boards in a few weeks, and I also realized I have a 601 accelerator I can stick in a Quadra 700 for the slowest Quake...

This looks great - congratulations! I also have a dead IIci with the good metal clips, and a happy but plasticy SE/30, maybe I should do the old switcheroo 😄

I'm really excited for you, using a compact mac is such a cool experience and the SE is a great one 😄 The #1 quality of life improvement you can invest in is some kind of SD based hard drive solution - it completely solves the problem of "how to get stuff on to your mac". You can then use an...
