As a kid in school in the early 90's Sierra was the stuff. I agree though, the adventure games were downright hard. If you weren't getting what the programmers wanted you to get you were just plain stuck. The whole King's Quest series, Gold Rush, Police Quest and Space Quest...all classics...

Do they have developers notes or a service manual for a Mac Plus or SE? I'm sure there's no schematic lying around. Gee, it'd be great if we had a SAMS on them. In fact, I intended to bring along Tom Lee's PDF. I don't know them personally but I wonder if they'd laugh at me? I thought about...

Skel, you should see my CC today. I know it's got a good working analog board. I'm a bit sick with all my video issues lately. I'm down to my Plus and an SE/30. :'( I'm seriously considering taking all my classics to the local TV repair shop and seeing if they can help me. I don't even...

Well, that is good to know. Most of my other cameras have branded batteries that only work with that camera, like my Canon XT. But my Hassy 553 takes AA, so I've always got them with me.

The manual speaks evil things against using regular alkaline AA batteries. I hunted down lithium batteries just to go by the book. I didn't want my camera to smoke the first time I turned it on! I'm hoping to use the 150 with the Powerbook, it won't install on my SE/30 for some reason. The...

Tom, care to help me for another round? Here's what I get: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3280/2800260590_48b3aed090_o.jpg

I don't know how to make .img files but I did make the disk images using .dmg in OS X. If this will work for you PM me your e-mail address and I'll send them along. If you need .img point me to a nice how-to (if there is one) and I'll make those too. The .dmg files work in Mini vMac but I...

My QuickTake 150 came in the mail today complete with box, booster pack for the lithium batteries and QuickTake Travel Case as well as the leather camera grip, all in good shape. Disks, wall charger and manual were also in the mix! All in nice working order. Here's the thing. I have an SE/30...

Yep, that's a pretty epic conquest. And the trade meant you got rid of a PC, making it super-epic.

I wanted to resurrect this old(ish) conquest just to say the buyer didn't work with me - except to help me somewhat with the UPS claim, which was denied. But, aside from that - my friend Dave helped solder the capacitor back to the board. The long story of it all is that the power button on...

Did the website say sold out when you ordered or did you buy them out? On the Mac side I know I can install several different versions of Word without it being a problem.

Hmmm, thought I was watching this topic for replies. Yeah, I've been into film photography for several years now. I don't have the luxury of printing from my negatives in house like you do though! I develop my own B&W and hand off my slide film to be processed. I go Canon as well - my...

Ha ha, nice! A re-conquest!

I think because it was an all original unmolested 128k. Oddly enough he did allow me to have the 400k drive that came with it as well as the manual. Just not the machine itself.

Ha ha ha!

Wow, really sweet! I've got an old Beseler enlarger and trays and such - just no good place to make some prints. What cameras do you like to shoot with? If you've got some photos on flickr (or elsewhere) you should link them. It's always fun to run into a film user! Nice score, and for free!

I paid $40 but not everything is pictured. Craigslist prices just don't correlate to eBay prices...I would have paid $40 in shipping alone. I'm convinced more and more to stay off eBay and just be patient with my local area coughing up the classic Macs for me. My area isn't rich with them...

No problem! I love these old ads.

You know, come to think of it you're right. I still find it crazy they changed the whole back of the computer when they did an upgrade but it should say 512k if it was one. I guess this could be an upgraded 128k.
