It’s just Decor. It might be the version on the garden, or the version that came with the Marathon collection, I can’t remember. I did a pseudo retrobright using the sun for mine.

No, it's just a default install. The 2002 models, like this one, are old enough to actually boot it natively. They also use non-extreme airport cards, which I can't find locally, and SDRAM

Well, $20 later and I have this cute little guy in my collection. All 800MHz are trying their hardest to make the speakers sound good.

So the building I used to work in is being decommissioned in order to build some apartments, and there’s tons of forgotten about crannies with forgotten about boxes from 20 years ago. And in a box hidden on a shelf were two nice cards. Awesome, I can finally take the AV out of my 7100/80AV and...

I can now take a G3 iMac off the list. If only it didn’t crack a bit.

Thank you for the advice, I ended up just giving the drive away to a coworker who has a late PCI Mac that can just use it. Prices for the adapters I saw just made a scsi to flash solution look less expensive.

Okay, thanks.

How do I find an adapter that has that feature? I’m currently using a mono price adapter, which doesn’t specify.

As per the title, I’m trying to figure out why this 4.5GB SCSI drive doesn’t like showing up to any of my pre-G3 hardware. I’m using a passive adapter, and I’ve tried multiple different configurations for the jumpers, but nothing seems to work when 50 pins are involved.

After just over a month, the SE/30 is in its mostly final form. It's got my SCSI2SD, the ram is sitting stable at 32MB, and the ROMinator II has let me install Mac OS 8.1 on a secondary SD card. Now to eventually find a new storage solution for my 7100/80AV, since it seems to hate the IBM SCSI...

For whatever reason, serial just refuses to work with multiple cards when I’m trying to use the system. I also would need to spend money on an XT-IDE to fix the BIOS 503MB bug, and various other annoyances that are just making it not fun.

After a few days of messing around with my SCSI2SD, and cannibalizing some ram from the 486 build that I am giving up on, I have a nicely set up SE/30 now. I'm probably going to be using the system as a writing device at some point in the near future.

And after some harrowing soldering that was less than professional, we have an SE/30 with sound. And 20MB.

Well, I’m a happy little man thanks to a coworker. Sure it’s as beige as an early Commodore 64, but outside of it needing a recap to restore sound, it works. It’s still weird to consider this having two adb ports, and that it’s arguably more powerful than my LCII.

I'm used to small production trinitrons, so I have never really noticed them. Thanks for making me aware

The monitor is in good condition, outside of a taking a bit too long to switch resolutions, seemingly randomly and rarely restarting, and two horizontal lines that might be Burnin, though I am unsure of what would cause burn in that would be completely from side to side aligned with a scanline

While technically not an Apple Computer, it very much is something designed around a PowerPC Macintosh. I managed to find a working Diamondtron CRT styled after the Graphite G4.

Small update: After some good scrubbing and magical erasing, the floppy drives are looking amazing as well. I can also confirm that the port on the back, and at least the 5.25 drive, works without issue. I don't have any 800k floppies, and what 3.5 floppies I do own are currently states away...

As I seem to be finding more and more interesting apple machines as time goes on, a guess I’ll just make an overarching thread. And, well, at least I have a literally white whale to show off this time. Yes, I finally managed to find an Apple IIGS, and in obscenely good condition. It doesn’t...
