I have two laptops sitting in a box. Both need a hardrive, which I just picked up. One is a 1400cs and the other is a 5300 also with the low end screen. Both need some reassembly and some screws. But out of the two I can get one working. Any thoughts which might be the better one to work...

The two floppy drives are in there original holder. The new harddrive slips into the space along side them. I used a thin strip of rubber to keep it snug and reduce any vibration. The newer harddrive was slimmer than some of the older hardrives, so it was an easy fit. I would not turn the...

I finally got my hands on a Daystar Powercache 50mhz. 030 accelerator card. I checked the speed of the IIci unit with Apple Diagnostics before I installed the Daystar. I was surprized when I checked the IIci after installation. It showed it was actually slower in all but two tests?? The...

GREAT FIND !!!

Looking at the posts made me rethink how I will do this. I picked up the dual floppy case(swapped him 2 100mb zip disks for it!) But I will look for a scruffy SE superdrive, add another 1.4 floppy drive and a newer hardrive, to the mix, then install everything into the other case. Put all...

The quaudra 610 was the first mac I ever owned! I also bought it at a yard sale for $5.00. I swapped the harddrive and cpu into a Quadra 605. But I still have the rest of the 610 tucked away in the basement for future considerations!!

I just finished dropping a 1.2gb Quauntum Fireball hardrive into my dual floppy SE. I thought it was going to really tight inside the case,but there is lots of room in there! It is running O.S. 6.0.7, with 4mb of ram. It all works well with a really crisp screen, no burn in at all. But...

Thanks for the tips. I think I will leave the 800k floppy drives alone and concentrate on putting in a harddrive. I will keep an eye on ebay to pick up an upgrade for a little added speed!!

I have a SE with dual 800k floppy drives. Would it be possible to slip a 2.5 hardrive from an early powerbook with an adaptor to fit the 3.5 hardrive plug, into a dual floppy case? Also, to change the 800k's to 1.4, will there have to be any other mods to make the 1.4's work? I was surprised...

Picked up a box of old Mac stuff from Freecycle. Lots of odds and ends. The big stuff is 3 external 5 1/4 floppy drives, 3 external 800k drives(?), a joystick for a llGS, 3 internal 1.4 floppy drives. Some cards from an apple lle and two ethernet cards for a llsi/SE30. Also a bunch of...

I picked one of those VHS tapes up at a book sale a couple of years ago. It is really cool to see the early Mac line as they were in there prime. Business really did run on (now) vintage Macs. The SE/30 was for the intensive business ventures!!! You should be able to transfer the tape to...

Picked up the pair with keyboards and one mouse for $5.00! One is running O.S. 9 and the other 9.2. The lady said they were old and slow? One has 96mb of ram and the other 48mb. I think that may have been why they seem a bit slow. I will up the ram soon and clean up the harddrives. Both...

Nice find! They are very cool looking units.

Pulled up to a yard sale this morning, and sitting right out front on the lawn, in the hot SUN was the Se SuperDrive. I paid out what the lady wanted, $3.00! Just the computer and matching keyboard. Last time it had been used was in 2001. I put it into the trunk out of the sunlight and...

I had an earlier model that had dual pentium 133's. It also had dual hardrives made by Connor. I overclocked it to run at 166mhz! It was my first dual cpu computer. It had a sony cd drive in it too. Same as what was in the early PowerMacs. You should be able to bump the cpu's to 233mhz.

Picked up an Apple llgs today at a yard sale. The fellow said everything still works fine. It has all the original manuals, a box of software floppys, an external 3.5 floppy drive, an external 5.25 floppy drive, original keyboard, mouse, monitor and a Image Writer printer. It has the memory...

Nice find! For a vintage mac user they are great to have. Most are getting recycled, keep them safe!! :)

I will give my vote to the Classic ll as the second best compact mac. Last of the line of black and white compact macs. The clean modern look is easy on the eyes. With the 1.44 floppy it is more usable than the early 400-800 floppy drives. The 16mhz cpu works at comfortable pace...
