    Ditto here currently. I saw the pics before though.

    lucky conquest...well sort of

    Never underestimate the stupidity and desperateness of some people. If they had taken the whole thing and sold it as-is (before damaging it) on eBay they'd have made way more than whatever copper they got from it. That would have required intelligence, which is something copper thieves often...

    Self-Liberation

    Small update, been busy. Both SE/30s boot to a blinking question mark. Their startup chimes sound louder than the working SE/30 I got from a friend and posted about here. They didn't want to boot from the burned 7.5.3 CD I burnt. I used a burnt CD with the other one, maybe it likes the other...

    lucky conquest...well sort of

    Well, just gotta look at is for what it is and not what it could have been. You got some good parts between the boards and the drives. Plus maybe that hole can be neatened up a bit and the case can be turned into something interesting? if nothing else maybe chop off the front, leaving about...

    Self-Liberation

    Well, I made a trip to my storage room today and brought back some goodies. The only thing I haven't found yet is my box of IIe LC-PDS cards. I now suspect they may be in my own basement somewhere... I know of one installed in an LC which will end up going to, appropriately enough, to LCGuy. I...

    My very first liberation...

    Sounds like you got some cool stuff, including the house! The phone geek in me has to ask about the 60s phone. What's is say on the bottom and what color is it? If it isn't already modular I can help you connect it. If it's rotary you can answer calls on a VoIP line, but not place them. Most...

    Vintage Apple pictures, some T-shirts and software

    I too would love to see the pictures. The slides sound interesting too, but would probably be harder to get on the computer. Good score all around. I think I might have that "Power of X" shirt somewhere. I have a white promo shirt I got when OS X first came out somewhere, night say something...

    Quadra 800 and stuff

    He must have meant to say least easiest to work on but messed up on his line. :lol: :-D I mean even the compacts are easier once you get it open, which is only a matter of the proper tools. Considering only Macs produced to date, there's plenty of easier ones. The the cover on the LC style...

    My biggest conquest so far

    I'm glad you mentioned that...I had forgotten that fact! I'm going to grab my big 'ol II when I visit my storage room and see if that's the issue! 8-) (And pray not to find an acid-eaten mess...)

    Powerbook 145

    I don't have a power adapter to offer you, but this Apple KB article will tell you what model Apple power adapters work. It doesn't get into deep specific specs like you were asking about but someone else will come along with that info I'm sure. Of course there are aftermarket ones made that...

    My biggest conquest so far

    Whoa! That's quite the haul! Reminds me of the days when schools would let me haul off carloads on the cheap! I'm jealous of the II and IIx big box Macs. I've got one II kicking around in storage but it doesn't boot and I never troubleshot it. I had one member here make me a good offer on a...

    The current plan is to visit my Treasure Trove on Monday. 8-)

    bought 76 sticks of 1mb 30 pin simms ebay

    I think it's a good deal, and they don't take up much space. Probably more than you'll ever need (unless you get a lot of the old machines that could be maxed out with them as mentioned before), but they sound like a good thing to hold onto for future trades or sales. Then again, I've got...

    Stupid but very important question!

    There's some good clarification. The LEM article threw me off a bit speaking of using all eight banks when Apple and Mactracker said groups of four. So more RAM seems to be the answer! 8-)

    Mac Plus

    eBay USA has them. I searched "Apple M0100":http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p5197.m570.l1313&_nkw=apple+m0100&_sacat=See-All-Categories. There's probably more listed under different names. That search turned up listings costing less than a new mouse from The Apple...

    Stupid but very important question!

    I believe your issue can be solved by checking out this article on upgrading RAM in your SE/30. I've never personally upgraded RAM in an SE/30. The specs say groups of four, and the LEM article says to populate all slots with identical SIMMs. Were there eight identical SIMMs to begin with? Hope...

    Apple CD 300 External =)

    $22 plus shipping is a good deal. The flat rate boxes are $14.65 for a large, $10.85 for a medium, $5.15 for a small...those are the online prices, slightly more at the post office. I'm guessing it's a large (it certainly isn't a small :p ), if that's the case they charged you actual cost...

    Powerbook G4

    That is true Gorgonops, I should have mentioned that as well. I've certainly seen these machines with this issue. My own fortunately did not. (Yet, I still have it and would like to replace the hard drive and find a use for it one of these days...) Luckily Apple is usually pretty good at...

    Oz ebay: Mac Plus for $AU10

    Showing a picture of it dirty, outside, on electronics, next to another stack of electronics, next to a mystery box sitting in uncut grass is certainly suspicious... 8-o Like you said the price is right even if you only get a nice case for a project. I'm hoping looks are deceiving and they...

    PowerBook 190cs! Possibly boxed!

    :lol: Perfect image for the Box Search! Very nice find, gotta love it when not only are you given a Mac, but it's also in awesome shape. Even better when they've got the original box! :pb: Good luck in the hunt, brother! I'm rooting for you! You can borrow the Needle In A Haystack Apple...
