The powersupply is in another box. But it is down there too! I am hoping to keep everything looking almost normal on the Sawtooth case. Will get all the parts together over the holiday and see how they might fit together. I like the modern features of the emacs G4 mother board. There is...

I have a dead 500mhz Sawtooth. It has been sitting for awhile down in the basement. It quit one day , after a few attempts to revive it, it went to the basement. A motherboard from a 2005 Emac ended up in a box beside the sawtooth. Its the 1.42ghz model with the 167mhz bus. I do like the...

I dropped by the Free Mac Pile again. It was bigger than last time?? This guy has lots of stuff. I really am getting short on storage space too... This time I picked up a PB540c, a Duo230, a 6500/225 and another DuoDock with the ethernet plug in. Also took a n.i.b. powerbook battery...

There was an add on our local Kijiji site. "Giveaway of very old Mac computers and acc. Come and get them". It gave the address. It happened to be near the school my son goes to. So I stopped by. There was at least 50 Macs. Keyboards, mice, printers, monitors, boxes of parts. Also mac...

It's nice to have two! Then you can cross check all sorts of things. Best thing is if you do need something, chances are it is on the other one!

I now have a little collection of tray loaders! The Strawberry(pink) Imac is working well, I bumped the ram to 256mb, I use it on the net for a few days and then hitch up the Lime Imac for a few days and then swap in the Grape Imac. All of them are 333mhz models with 256mb of ram. They...

The Classic II is a great little unit. Very sleek looking for a basic box. Very usable for a lot of writing jobs. Adding a newer harddrive will speed things along. When you do open it up, vacuming the air intake screen helps keep things cool. I have seen the screens 90% plugged with lint...

You were right! I unplugged the pram battery and it booted right up!! It has 256mb of ram and is 500mhz!! The harddrive I put in is 20gb with O.S.9.2. I will get a new pram battery off ebay along with more ram and then I would like to install O.S.10.? Thanks for the helpful post!

Just picked up a very nice looking pismo. The first one I have had! No hardrive. Plugged it in. Nothing. Checked and reset the ram, added a hardrive. Checked all the cables under the keyboard. Left it plugged in for a couple of hours. Tried again. Nothing. Checked the battery and it shows...

Dropped into a yardsale and spotted a sad looking Strawberry Imac sitting with a bunch of monitors. I asked the lady how much for the Imac. The price was the same for all of them, $5.00. Sitting on top of the Imac was a matching keyboard and two matching mice!! Once home I cleaned off the...

Always nice to have some reference books when you get into the vintage Macs. Lots of information when these machines were the best there was. Good find!!

Maby you could try the going with the ide adapter route with a compact flash card. I used one in my PB1400, the PB150 uses the same type of drive. Totally quiet and uses less power. It would be faster than any of the old harddrives. Might be an option .

Two Imacs in one weekend! First one is a 333mhz tray loader. Grape in colour! O.S. 9.2 with a 6gb harddrive and 160mb of ram. Works fine. I may use it to fix up another grape Imac I have that is missing some of its plastics. The second Imac is 500mhz slot loader, white in colour. It had no...

With a 200mb hardrive you have lots of room for vintage programs. Also that would be a newer hardrive than the original and would make the SE feel faster. Since you have a few of them you can link them together and try some networking too!!

I was able to get the video working on the 6100. Just did the quick on and off of the power switch. It booted up fine. It is running O.S. 7.5.5 with a total of 16mb of ram. There is also a 16mb strip of ram on the DOS card. The floppy drive works fine. This one does not have a cd drive. But...

I have the cable that goes to the odd video port on the 6100 then to a regular early Mac monitor plug in. But I was using another adapter on the cable to use a LCD monitor. I will dig out a Mac crt monitor and try again. I will get another pram battery too. There is a plug in on the DOS...

Just saved this PowerMac from going to the dump. Turns out to be a 6100/66 DOS Compatible. I have never actual seen one of these before. I cleaned off the snow and dried it off. Lots of snow and ice here! I plugged it in, it chimed nicely, but no video output. It has a 500mb SCSI...

You could use an external floppy drive and share it between the two classics as needed. Any hardrive that you put into the classic will be faster than the original one. Nice job of cleaning it up and getting it going!

A newer hardrive will make a big difference in how fast your computer will feel. It needs a 50 pin scsi drive. I used to get these drives out of scrapped PowerMacs (250-500mb) and put the drives into my collection of Compact Macs. Works fine. I have a Performa 520 that I have upped the ram and...

Just picked this up off of FreeCycle. The Apple Multiscan 15"av Display is very crisp. The speakers work well. The 7300/180 has O.S.7.5.5 installed. A 1.9gb hardrive and 32mb of ram. Floppy and cd drives are good. It came with the manuals for the display and computer. It is completely...
