Was it the "Macintosh - The Inside Story" poster that has the LC II and AppleCD 300 with the covers off? I have that very poster! (back in QLD...thank GOD our place survived the floods!)

To be honest, I love the 17" ASD CRT...if anything i think it looks much cooler than the LCD. But they're huge and heavy, and difficult to ship, and they take up a ton of space. :( These days I live in a place in Sydney thats about the size of a shoebox, therefore the few displays I have are...

Oh man...the original SimCity! Nice! :D (for the record, I have two boxed copies of Sim City 2000 Special Edition, one for Mac (which I got for my 12th birthday), and one for DOS, but this is still more awesome)

Very, very, very nice. The G4 Cube alone is worth much more than that. :O Is the monitor a Studio Display?

All Performas came with At Ease, but only Performas. (and the Power Mac 5500/6500, which were Performas in every way apart from the name) I've never heard of At Ease being bundled with OS installation media. LCs never came with it either, only Performas.

Password Security was a part of the OS, but is ONLY for PowerBooks, it will not work on ANY desktop Mac. (unless you consider a docked Duo as a desktop) At Ease is completely different, not even remotely related: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/At_Ease

I remember reading about those in a magazine, many many years ago. Unfortunately, another disadvantage is that SmartMedia itself is an obsolete format, and IIRC it maxes out at 128MB, correct? (in comparison, my LC III came with a 80MB HDD back in the day, and many older Macs came with 160+MB...

System 7.5.0, and I think 7.5.1 displayed the Picasso boot screen during the entire boot process, and displayed a progress bar as the extensions loaded. System 7.5.2 (I think), 7.5.3 and 7.5.5 displayed the Picasso boot screen when the machine first starts booting, before switching to the Mac...

Indeed it did. In fact ADB almost did as well, however in the end they found MiniDIN-4 to be a much more reliable connector.

Just be aware that if you install a Classic II board, you'll have to install 6.0.8L, rather than the regular 6.0.8.

One day, though I really have nowhere to set it up as an actual computer, and my TV screen is bigger than the internal display, so yeah.

Actually it was a TravelMate 6410, from memory, from late 2006 (I assume, because it was "Designed for Windows XP/Windows Vista Capable" :lol: ) The SATA bus on it was completely fried. Once I stripped it of any useful parts (CPU, RAM, HDD, DVD drive, WiFi card), it was scrapped. The iMac's...

Bit over a month ago I was walking back from the bus stop after finishing up at work. We'd just had a bulky goods pickup day, all that was left was the old CRT TVs and things that the council doesn't collect. I thought all the excitement was over...or was it? Walking along, minding my own...

That mostly has to do with just how unfindable actual Classic II FPU upgrade boards are. (read: very)

I've used OS 8.1 at 512x384...while 640x480 is a heck of a lot nicer, much like System 7 it is perfectly usable at that resolution, apart from apps that require 640x480 or higher.

Probably still nowhere near as much as my original one was back when it was boxed. :lol: (in 1993) I seem to recall Dad paying somewhere around the $800 mark for it.

Not yet...though as of January it still didn't need it.

Generally, you need to modify either the cage, or the cards. There was a mod that someone (I think it was PowerBookMedic?) used to do in the late 90's/early 00's that basically replaced the cage with a full CardBus compatible cage.

As some of you will probably remember, I've been after an AppleCD 300 (caddy loading) for quite some time. And today I got one: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/181044159003?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 Cost me a bit...but I'm really quite happy about this, mine died about...

I wouldn't count on it - I have never heard of an 802.11b/g/draft-n chipset with Mac OS 9 drivers. Furthermore thats a CardBus card, meaning that even if there were drivers for it, you'd need to do the 3400 CardBus modification.
