Very nice! I had been casually picking up Apple II items in hopes of stumbling across a IIe PDS card. So I have the Unidisk 5.25, the Apple 5.25 Drive, a Laser (VTech Laser 128 clone) 3.5" floppy, and a pair of Apple branded game paddles. My IIe looks to have the controller card for both the...

Thanks for the additional info. Good to know incase replacing the 74125 doesn't solve the issue.

Wanted to spice up my G4 build. Did some plastics swap between a Blue & White G3 and the G4 Graphite case. Head over to this thread in the Lounge and tell me which you like best. PowerMac G4 "Blue & Silver" vs. "Graphite & White"

thanks!

SSDs can have a whine/hum when active. Maybe your issue? https://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=ssd+access+sound&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8

Agreed. Worth the drive, even with gas prices. The IIe was a former education computer and from the look of it, saw light use. Person I picked it up from got it directly from the school storage. He had some fun with it for a few months and put it on Facebook. It has a couple issues: RIFA cap...

The Apple IIe was $200 for the CPU, monitor, 2x Disc II and various installed cards. The Mitsubishi audio component system was $40 The iKey keyboard was $18 Compaq FS 7600 17" CRT was $10 Books were $2-3 each Visicalc VHS was $1 The rest was free (friends getting rid of extras)

For a guy who tells people he's downsizing his collection, I sure came back with a lot of stuff this weekend! Saw an ad post on the Eugene, Oregon Craigslist for an Apple IIe system. Made arrangements and headed north on Friday and broke up the 630+ mile round-trip with an overnight layover to...

Original Voodoo vibes on that graphic card setup.

Update: My Nvidia GeForce 4 MX ADC/VGA card is apparently dead. That would have been a solid graphics choice. Currently back to the ATI Rage 128. Trying to find another GeForce 4 or a Radeon 9000 with ADC & VGA that won't break the bank. The SCSI RAID is a dead end. Decided to stick with...

Subscribed! I add in an isopropyl alcohol rinse for circuit boards and electronics after the wash and rinse. Helps release the water. Also use an electronics rate air blower to flush liquid out, but not strictly necessary. And lube switches.

Subscribed! All of this, plus I rinse everything again with isopropyl alcohol (and also use an electronics grade blower to dry everything out). And lube the switches after washing!

AAAAAAAAAH HECK! Already pimping it out! Even being sold for the education market, it’s obviously upgradable as any Beige G3, so in a way maxing it out makes it a bit of a sleeper. LOL-ing a little bit thinking about the screaming performance of Putt-Putt and Fredi Fish titles running under...

Okay, thanks. Yeah, I use my Mighty Mouse as well. Was hoping to find something else out there potentially usable on others from the plastics/acrylic era like G3 / G4 towers and CRT iMacs.

I had a grey-market Apus 2240 destined for Asian markets, complete with Japanese characters on the key caps. Bought two of them new-in-box from a guy who had a stack of them in a warehouse in Union City (between Berkeley and San Jose in the SF Bay Area). Really nifty little Mac clone. I think I...

Is that an optical mouse? And does is it 2-button? What’s the model number on it? Looking for an 2-button optical mouse that matches the G4 iMac.

OrangePC cards are strictly a MacOS 9 affair (no OS X support), correct? Could they be run in the 9.2.2 Classic Environment under OS X (PPC 10.4 Tiger would be the target OS)?

Per a user over at macos9lives, there is no hardware based SCSI RAID solution for OS 9 and OS 9 cannot boot from software raid (which makes sense). Looks like that takes the wind out of that sail. Still, that single Atlas 10,000 RPM SCSI drive is pretty fast, and makes an enjoyable racket, so...

Ha! 550mhz is a 10% bump and 600mhz is the 20%. And yeah, running a bunch of benchmarks and intensive photoshop tasks was the plan for vetting the overclock.

Nice score! The Aptus is just a rebranded Umax, correct?
