If it's DOS 3.3 based, you may be better off picking up an ImageWriter II and a SuperSerial card to print the data off, then scan it into a more modern system. If the disk is ProDOS formatted, you can use Copy II Plus and copy it to an 800K floppy, which then can be inserted into any originally...

Mine originally was a 4,1 but the processor tray in it came from an actual 5,1 machine, so I wound up replacing the logic board with a 5,1 board. No longer runs the fans in MDD G4 mode. @treellama locate the Firefox Dynasty 145.0 dmg and use that with your 6,1 for when you need to get online...

Have my mid-2012 A1286 set up to triple boot Catalina, High Sierra, and Mavericks. I probably would update the Mavericks install to 10.10, 10.11, or 10.12, but I don't want to potentially break my working copy of Photoshop CS4 that I originally installed on the mid-2010 A1286 I got from mcdermd...

My A1289 is my daily driver... With the Dynasty build of Firefox, it works with 99% of websites currently online, even though I'm still using 10.9.5 as the main OS.

Or, the gif image showing the kid who needs to pee badly with "Loading..." underneath.

There are some still out there... Might need to check Farcebook Marketplace and CL, though. @Phipli I bet you could adapt the guts of a 7600 to a beige G3 desktop case... Might have a hole where the personality card was located, but the ports should line up and the PS should drop in place.

I would also look at the logic board on both machines, if other cards are not showing up either. The 74ALS240 that's next to C16 controls the Nubus slots. If that capacitor has leaked, it will corrode the pins on the chip, turning the computer into essentially a LC III that can run System 6...

The SE is a 68000 powered SE/30. One that can have two floppy drives, a floppy and a SCSI hard drive, or two floppy drives and a SCSI hard drive. You can take an SE/30 board and run it in an SE. So, the architecture is the same. If you want a similar experience to an SE/30, the IIsi is a...

Might be able to get that by installing the TrueType INIT and some TrueType monospaced fonts...

Yup. Agreed there.

The ADK would be more palatible if they'd used the Mitsumi switches from the M0487 keyboards. Some are tolerable as I mentioned earlier, others are as bad as a M7803. The DataDesk keyboards, while decent for typing were ugly as sin. An IBM model M looks nicer. My chemistry instructor in...

IIcx with a Q650 or Q800 board swapped in. Q700 style with an extra Nubus slot, and 136MB memory ceiling.

What brand battery did that damage, @joshc? Max-hell, Tadiran, Saft?

I wonder if the reset/nmi functionality can be added by using an iMac keyboard or an ADB keyboard with one of the USB-ADB adapters on the market. Those have the power key on them. Which is functional even on a Mac Pro (at least with the iMac 'board). Even the old Apple //e...

Maybe combine the 700 and 800, by taking a dead IIcx and a Q650 board. Have the Q700 form factor with three Nubus slots, 72 pin SIMMs, then, instead of a 40 MHz overclock, the 50MHz Quad Doubler, but maybe running at 66.
