yeah, I have one of these beasts. I upgraded the RAM heavily, and put in a large 20gb HD. For the longest time it was booting with no video, but something told me to give it another go. It works. For anyone with one of these: the long thin grey cable with the black connector is the one for...

This is a subject that has been picking at me for some time. I have noticed very little "free" software for my newtons, most of it is shareware. What is worse is the limitations they impose, and since the newton is no longer as popular platform as it once was, it is near impossible to register...

Alright, I had a chance to figure out how to take the WGS apart, so I did. Not the easiest machine in the world to disassembe. I found out it has an Apple branded 10/100 PCI card in it, just like the G3 AIO I got before. Never seen these cards before. The machine also has a tape drive in it, and...

yeah, I actually forgot to grab one of those. Last time I was there I ripped the hard drives out of all but one, and I got a box og logic boards and cards for them. There is still one under a cart. I think the 5260 got taken, since all that were left were 100mhz 5200s. I also forgot to grab the...

I am working on pics. I already got a pic of the emate and it's brother, my NMP 2000 side by side. oh, and the WGS is a 132mhz model. I am debating on weather to leave the server software on it, or wipe it and use it as a system 7 machine. Oh, more goodies: IN the bag with the 165 were a SCSI...

Well guys, I am back. Total freakin score. Here are some of the things I got: -A 3rd Apple IIgs, not a woz edition, hopefully a ROM 03. No cards, all backplates present. -A Workgroup Server 8550 it's running appleshare server, and came with a monitor. -A Quicktake 150 with a "low voltage...

right I will then. Guess I will have to learn to love. I do remember the science teachers in high school running 5500s, those were some sweet machines. Nice and fast, and a TV tuner!! He also said he might have some emacs after school is out, but since it is the end of the year, I will see what...

ew, no stay away from the 5200s. WORST MACS EVER!! This school has a number of them too, and as much as I hate to see them go to a landfill, they are not worthy. There is one 5260 which is a much better machine, I plan on grabbing that one. -digital ;)

yeah, I have a feeling I going to be spending the summer sorting it all out. I just got my digital camera fixed, so I will be documenting it all, I just need a place to host it all. I was thinking applefritter of course, or flickr, but I decided on the retromaccast social networking site...

I will be heading back to Trenton tomorrow to pick up the rest of the macs from school. I talked to the guy in charge, he said he has more macs, most have processor upgrades. He also has a Powerbook 165, and a "mac camera", which could either be a connectix quickcam, or a Apple Quicktake. I hope...

nice. I have one of these, a 1995 model. the cord even coiled is about 8 feet long. It's got a couple pins missing though, so it will throw an error on this old dell that refuses to boot and beeps loudly when there is no keyboard, but it works just fine, and I have used it with a USB to PS/2...

actually, I stuck a 64mb PC66 stick in it, it booted right up, but it beeped with an error saying it expected PC100 and can not work with this, system halted. Here is what it says on the chip: MT8LSDT3264HG-10EB1 PC100-222-620 256mb, synch, 100mhz, CL2 it works just fine in my pismo. I...

Alright, I got it today. I unpacked it, and it fired right up to windows 98 SE. It was in portrait mode, I could not figure out how to change it. I took the hard drive out, swapped in the one with 2k installer, and it fired right into the installer. It's finishing up now as I type. going PDQ...

ah yes, I do remember reading about your acquisition of one. I was only following this site, which tells me to do that. I don't know how many sectors this hard drive has, but if it's more than 63, I am screwed. Are you sure the 3500 has the same geometry problems as the 3400? I seem to remember...

Ok, so it's not a shiny new modbook, or even one of those shiny HP tc2000s (me wantie!! ), but it will do for the application I need it for. I have actually been thinking of doing this for a couple years now, but never had the ambition until now. I plan on building a carputer out of this...

not bad. The fastest x86 box I have around here is a 1.8ghz dead celeron toshiba satellite laptop. The fastest WORKING machine I have is my 200mhz (overclocked from 166mhz), 64mb, 2gb windows 2000 machine. Ouch!! I need to get a cheap ATX power supply for this athlon box if it's not going to be...

I thought 72 pin sims stopped at 32mb for some reason. my crappy old dell, which takes 4x72s has a max of 128mb. I have half that in there right now. congrats on maxing it out, I have only one of my macs maxed out, but I plan on doing the same to my pismo as soon as I can aquire another 512mb...

Here is the listing. I was interested in the sparcstations, until I realized how old they are. I am just gonna help myself to the ANS, since I have AIX for it already. and deuwix, it would be great if you could post here a bit more. Just saying. -digital ;) [/url]

Oh yay, good news!! He responded!! He said my offer is not enough, but he wants to do a trade, so if I can get it for 2 or 3 of my macs, then that's great. But the best part, he asked if I was a member of the 68kmla, so I think he may be on here. If you are, go ahead and post, my fellow...

yeah I have had that happen before on many occasions. That's why this forum is littered with many of my failed possible conquest threads. Hope the admins don't mind if we post about possible conquests, weather or not they happen. -digital ;)
