I thought the 550 was Japan-only?

I opened the box and it does not have any "FDHD" or "SuperDrive" silkscreen. I'll have to plug it in tomorrow and check the light but from the sounds of it, the LED should be amber. It's pretty cool to open a brand-new, vintage item. I think this was a first for me.

I touched bases with my friend today and brought home a IIx, a IIfx, a Platinum Mac Plus (with the box, manuals, inserts, software, etc), a boxed Ethernet CS card, a new, sealed external Apple SuperDrive floppy drive, System 7.0.1 floppies, stickers, etc. I guess with the SuperDrive being...

Somewhere around here there is a thread about the differences between a production TAM logic board and a 6500. Macdrone and I posted pics. EDIT: Here it is: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=20293&p=194421#p194421

In Andy Hertzfeld's words -

I think you're way too odd, OOM. It's like you're grasping for some geeky hipster title where you only use 68k Macs.

I would worry about speed issues with older CF cards.

Been having a hard time scoring anything recently. I broke the dry spell with a 12" PowerBook G4 in the box with all the stuffings for $25. It works but is missing a battery and in fairly dirty shape. I also managed to get a PowerMac 6500/250 from a guy I know. It is in fairly good snap with a...

And installing and using Ubuntu these days is about as easy as Windows is.

It is a ke so it should have Plus ROMs and an 800K drive.

Very sweet, Jorma. That kind of thing is right up max1zzz's alley too.

He's even got an Apple golf bag! 8-o haha, VERY nice setup, Hap. You need to find someone that wants to donate some retail space so you can charge a little admission!

There are a number of different solutions using other SCSI drives with adapters. That's what uniserver's had offered. Unless you are going for original authenticity, a newer drive is probably a better choice.

Until you see what smaller, 50-pin drives sell for on the open market. Then it will seem like a bargain.

You can see the speakers here: http://www.applefool.com/applefool/Power_Mac_G4_Cube.html#17

I think that's a long shot as audio through the headphone jack is also faint. It's also probably worth suggesting that you inspect the headphone jack for debris or corrosion fooling the computer into turning off the speaker output.

The first step should be to double check your work and go hunting for rotten traces around where the capacitors' electrolyte leaked.

Is it a personal, non-profit site? If so, send me a PM.

Once the Plus came with SIMMs, these companies had to start doing processor upgrades. That was a market that went strong all the way up until the Intel switch. What's funny is that I haven't given much thought to where the Sonnets, NewerTechs, etc have gone until just now.
