    I don't think the Zip was original, it's a 250MB and according to everymac.com this G4 was only offered with a Zip 100. So quick updates. Both machines work The 400 actually came with 256MB of RAM, added another 128MB. 10GB hard drive works, has fresh 9.2.2 install. Zip drive didn't work at...

    Yeah, so this happened yesterday :ROFLMAO: Pair of G4 AGP's, a 350 on the left and 400 on the right. Both came with 10GB hard drives, the 400 with 64MB of RAM and a Zip 250. Both cases are in great shape. Cleanup and setup to follow.

    Got a Macintosh! Now What?

    @3lectr1cPPC will attest that Josh and Phipli are always trying to get Americans to buy Pismos. As I said before, beware! 😜

    Got a Macintosh! Now What?

    You alright, I learned it by watching you! For those non-US folks, or the younger set, this was a classic 1980's anti-drug PSA that was played over and over (and over) again on TV. I think we can safely substitute Vintage Macs for the drugs. And might as well get it over with...since...

    Got a Macintosh! Now What?

    If you're looking at the SE as the beginning of a hobby, you might consider a later machine to use as a bridge box for the SE. A mid-90s PPC with a floppy, printer port, and RJ-45 Ethernet could be used to download software and transfer over to the SE. I have a PM 7500 for this purpose and use...

    Got a Macintosh! Now What?

    Macquarium's were the big craze at the end of the 1990s/early 2000s when the Compacts were completely obsolete and held no significant monetary value. I can't imagine anyone making one today given even non- functioning Compacts are still considered collectible and worth a few bucks

    Rescued what I thought was a Mac II

    So been a while since there was anything to report on the IIfx's restoration. My friend's father is very skilled at soldering and is up for doing the recap and battery holder replacement on the IIfx. I've identified the following parts, looking for verification from our IIfx experts before I...

    9" Compact Completists?

    That's Super @volvo242gt thanks! Question - the badge on the dual 1.44mb model says "SE Superdrive" but the machine has two drives, so shouldn't it be "SE Superdrives"? :unsure: :p

    9" Compact Completists?

    Yes, a 68-0-CAT is more powerful than an 030, but way more erratic and prone to extended periods of absolutely no activity at all. But boy can they purr :ROFLMAO: And 32 kible-bit bus was brilliant @JC8080
