    The best way to get it?

    Back in the late nineties, I was randomly speaking to a person at a presentation I was attending and mentioned that I liked to refurbish older computers and give them to people who couldn't afford them. He asked for my number and a week or so later called and asked if I wanted a few Macs. A...

    Vintage Software Liscencing

    I have a legal copy of PageMaker for early Macs. The disks are wonky now. I emailed Adobe (the current owner of the product) and was told there was no way at all to get either disks or support of any kind. Would I be considered a pirate if I could find a site to download copies of what I legally...

    G4 questions

    Another question. I would like to locate a manual for the G4. On all of the sites I have Googled, the manuals linked are for the early version of the G4. I am unable to locate the later versions

    G4 gift

    Yes, it was brand spanking new back then. I later replaced the cache card with a DayStar '040 expansion card and also added an Apple video card. That Mac cost me a bundle back in the day. I still have it in the closet, but alas it will no longer boot. It started booting silent, then went to no...

    I put a message on my local user group site and received a Digital Audio G4 on Saturday past. I need a monitor, keyboard, mouse, system software and a hard drive bracket to get it good to go, but will get there soon. My old PC monitor, keyboard and mouse seem to work, so a hard drive bracket and...

    G4 questions

    As stated in the Conquests forum, I recently came into possession of a 733MHz Digital Audio G4. It had no hard drive, no monitor, no keyboard and no mouse. My PC monitor looks to work fine on it, the PC mouse as well. I have some old IDE drives (30 -40GB) so I should be fine there. What I don't...

    G4 gift

    Recently, my last Mac died (PowerBook 180). That left me without a working Mac for the first time since I purchased a IIci back in the 80's. Can I hear you say withdrawal? :lol: Well, I asked on our local Mac user group site if anyone was disposing of anything, and a great guy offered me a...

    Government auctions are cool!

    If you decide to part them out, is there a hard drive carrier in the blue tower G3? On Saturday past, I was given a 733MHz Digital Audio G4. I got the box only, no monitor, keyboard or mouse. When I looked inside, the hard drive had been removed, but the carrier had not been put back in.....

    PB180 failure

    Thanks for all the suggestions and information. Will to a tear down this weekend and see what is going on inside. I'd really like to resuscitate this baby as everything about it screams brand new.

    See my posts in the 68k PowerBook thread for info on my PB180. It may be fixable, but I have no resources at the moment. @ Concorde1993 It isn't a priority, but I miss having a working Mac.

    PB180 failure

    I'll have a look at those, but if that's the cause then I'm SOL as I have no soldering experience beyond attaching wires to sockets.... BTW, nice collection there!

    Scouting suggestions

    Hello, I am now down to one Mac and it is non-functional. 8-o I live in Ottawa, Canada and would appreciate any suggestions on strategies to locate older Macs before they get trashed. I am currently on a very limited income, so would need to get something free or real cheap. At last check...

    PB180 failure

    Thanks, I'll try the suggestions when I get home tonight. I hope it works, as it is in pristine condition save for the rear door which was missing when I acquired it. EDIT: OK, a friend just gave me his old Fluke 111 digital multimeter! What scale do I use to check out the power brick...

    PB180 failure

    Hello, I have a PB180 that fails to do anything when the power button is pushed. As recently as 2 months ago, it powered up and booted just fine. Is there a "checklist" to go through to troubleshoot this?
