So I have gotten the Powerbook G4 running properly. Found out it has the 1.5 GHz processor and 1.5 GB of ram, I have to say that this was a pretty good deal for $10 even though it didn't come with a power adapter. @JustG thanks again for the information on the deal for a new power adapter...

Hi guys, I have my Apple Powermac G4 Quicksilver setup and I was trying to setup the email program and had no luck with setting it up with my Hotmail/Outlook email account. Is the old Apple Mail program a no go or is there something I am not doing? Also if this is a no go, is there software that...

I'm looking at ordering a set of capacitors for my Macintosh IIci.  I found the reference picture to find all the capacitors, but I'm not sure about the SMD capacitors, I've only really worked on the more common types of capacitors. Anyone have a list for these capacitors for what I need? Side...

I might ditch the Beige G3 anyways because I have a Power Macintosh 7200/90 which seems to be a very similar machine anyways. Thanks for the information, I wasn't sure about the LC III with the empty socket, by the way, what it is the purpose of the FPU?

These machines will not be free as the center sells items on eBay. So I do not have a reference point to work with, but I'm hoping to negotiate due to the fact they haven't been really looked at and are really dirty. Recaps are not a problem for me, just did the analog board for a Macintosh SE...

So at the local e-waste recycling center, I found the following: Beige PowerMac G3 (Non-tower) Macintosh Performa 550 Macintosh LC III (Seems to be missing a chip that would go in the square socket, FPU Chip?) Are any of these worth getting? What should I expect in regards to problems? What...

Are you talking about something like this: https://www.ebay.com/itm/16MHz-020-Accelerator-upgrade-CPU-FPU-card-for-Apple-Macintosh-SE-68020/254227173389?hash=item3b311ed00d:g:proAAOSwfiZc1eyp&frcectupt=true

So, now that I have a mouse to work with, I can finally explore my Macintosh SE FDHD.  I understand that the hard drive is probably functioning on borrowed time, I was wondering how I could migrate the contents of the old hard drive to a new hard drive or SCSI2SD setup, it still has a bunch of...

What is the expansion slot on the logic board for my Macintosh SE FDHD? What can I put in there?

Thank you for the information, I wasn't quite sure. I'm looking at picking it up tomorrow with the anticipation of having to fix the power switch.

Thank you. Also thank you for the information, I will look at it soon.

So today, was a pretty good haul, picked up a Powermac G4 Quicksilver Dual 800MHz Processor, 1.25GB of ram, that I paid $30 for which included a 17" Apple Studio Monitor but no hard drive, but that wasn't an issue since I have spares to work with. Specifications: Power Mac G4 PowerMac3,5...

Well I found a keyboard for $15, cheapest solution I've found so far, it's an AppleDesign Keyboard M2980, so it'll be decent, now I just need a mouse.

So... I found a local electronics recycling company and found out after I left that they do indeed have a monitor that might work: Model: Apple Color Plus 14" Display Model No: M1787 The guy that contacted me tells me that the monitor has been tested and works, however, the power switch is...

Interesting, what model monitor are you using?  I have a couple of older Dell LCD monitors that I can use. Do you have just a factory IIci or have you done anything to it?

Thanks for this information, this looks like a great idea!

I'll look into those keyboards, also drakware has an adapter to allow you to use an ADB keyboard on a USB system, drakware doesn't have the other way around, unless I missed it.

I'm starting to look for an ADB keyboard and mouse for my Macintosh SE FDHD. It seems like there are several variants out there. My preference is to have the keypad or extended keyboard. Are there models that are recommended over others? Are there adapters to use more common interface such as...

So... I already have an DELL LCD with a VGA connection, I'll take a look at the adapter.
