Hey all, Recently got an 8500 for 25 bucks shipped on ebay. It came with a 300MHz G3 upgrade, ~384MB ram. I put 8.6 on it, and it's working beautifully. Unfortunately, It seems as if there is something wrong with the floppy drive in this machine. It can format a floppy and (seemingly) write to...

Awesome! That was the information I needed. I got that SCSI adapter on ebay for 10 shipped. :) I figure that 10 dollars for some extra speed is probably worth it! @Spiceyokooko, if I can't get this to work, or I decide to buy another one, I'll certainly get in contact with you for the Serial...

Hey all, I just purchased a Visioneer PaperPort Vx off of ebay for super cheap. It comes with the AC adapter and a serial cable. (RS232) I've got all the drivers and PaperPort installed and running under OS 8.6, on my Performa 6116CD. Everything I can see in the control panel deals with SCSI...

Brought home the 640 this morning, and installed 7.6.1 on it. I'm happy to report that it streams internet radio with MPEGdec without a hiccup. I'm downloading the software to install windows on this machine as we speak. I have found that it does have the 486DX2 in it. I never really knew how...

Okay, So I pulled out my PowerBook 1400cs, and installed mpegdec, it works absolutely wonderfully streaming shoutcast stations. now we've gotta try for the 68k! I'm going to bring the performa home tomorrow, and do a fresh install of 7.6. I shall report back then! I have no experience with the...

Hey all! I've got a Performa 640CD sitting here, and was wondering what i could to with it to give it some good use. It currently has 8.1 on it, but I'd like to put 7.6 on it. I'm wondering, though, can I use this machine with internet radio of any sort? Thanks, Blake.

Hey all! I ran across a Performa 640CD a couple days ago at the local Habitat! I have a few questions though, with the dos card installed in this computer, would i still be able to install an Ethernet card in it? did they make Comm Slot Ethernet cards? The machine currently has the original...

If you decide to get a Liquid Cooled G5, try to inspect it before you purchase it. There are two different models of Liquid Cooling pumps in the G5's. The Delphi version is the most common, and also has the most leaks. The Panasonic version is not as common, but it's certainly out there, and...

Hm, I believe that it was supposed to run on 7.5, The computer that I had it on was a Performa 6320CD. thanks! Blake.

I'm looking for Mangia! It's a recipe software for older mac's, Does anyone know where I can find this thing? I've looked high and low, and it's nowhere to be found! I believe that it was made by Upstill Software! I'd be willing to buy it from someone, if they have it, and i believe it might be...

Hey all! I recently acquired a Duo 2300c with a dock, microdock, floppy drive, and a SuperMac NuBus video card inside the DuoDock II. I also acquired a 230 from an eBay auction. I have a few questions about these units. My 2300c has 20 megs of ram in it, yet somehow feels slower than the 230...

the MDD has absolutely no problems at all running large IDE hard drives; In fact, I believe that the MDD came in a server configuration with a set of large hard disks in it at some point. If you do want to run OS 9 in it, you could always put OS X on the large drive and then put a second drive...

It also sounds like you could have a bad down converter in it. Put the drive in another computer and see if it spins up. If the down converter is going bad, the drive could just be pulling too much power and bringing the whole system down. I've seen this problem a couple of times, and have...

Hey man, I'd take having a Hassie or a Rollei over having a darkroom, They're great cameras, and i love the square format! I just wish i could find a good quality medium format camera for cheap. (not a holga though) you have a gorgeous gallery! Keep up the great work! Blake.

I had put up a wanted ad on freecycle about two months ago stating that i was looking for darkroom equipment. I got a reply back a couple days later stating that someone had some darkroom stuff for me, I went and got that, it was a few trays and a couple stainless steel film reels and some...
