i used to get amazing things from my local recycler, Com-Cycle (AERC Recycling), but they now have new manager, and the new policy is that if they dont know how to test it, they dont sell it. Which includes Apple II's and the like. :(

Well, I just managed to get it online. I'm sort of borrowing an AirPort card, and managed to scavenge 256mb of ram. I forgot how much fun this thing was to use, especially to type. I'm taking it to work wiht me tomorrow, and I'm gonna put probably Tiger on it, so it will have some compatibility...

or you can look on LEM for the manual way to do the install. It involves feeding different CPU speed values into the open firmware. It doesn't overclock the processors (im 90% sure about that), just what the firmware reports to the OS. Or you can make a modified version of the install DVD.

Hey, don't feel too bad. I'm right there with you barely following this. I've always wanted to be that level of hacker but couldn't. So I'll sit on the sidelines and cheer y'all on. I'm with Trash80toHP_Mini, keep goin with this. It's projects like this that keep our old machines alive and still...

No, I just finished reading all of this. I think he's actually impressed. I know I am.

Ok, I know it's been a while since I have done anything with OS 9 but for some reason, any copy of 9.1 update, or any update for that matter that I download, I can't seem to get it to mount the damed disk image. Any ideas? Thanks!

thank you, i didnt remember, all i have owned are the silvers

Well, I actually had a 60 that I had forgotten about, but the old HD wasn't plugged in. Now I just need memory, and to upgrade the wavelan from bronze to gold.

Ok, I did it once before, but its been soo long I don't remember how to do it. Could anyone be of assistance? Thanks!

My personal favorite of that series was the C600 series vs. the C800 series, because they were half of the size with about 90% of the power. They even had a dock that included a monitor stand and 2 PCI slots. In my opinion, the C600 series is as close to the pismo design in the PC world.

I was finally able to get it to boot into OS 9! I have a question, this is the first tie I have seen an aftermarket battery. For some reason the check light on the side stays on, any ideas on how to turn it off or does the battery just need to be rejuvinated?

Well, the HD is dead so I'm going to have to source another one. Damn.

I just picked up another old faithful model. This will be the 2nd or third pismo that I have owned. Now I just need more ram and bigger hd! That, and I have to go and find my old one which should still have the memory in it. I hope. PS: if anyone has any of these, let me know 8-) This model...

out of curiosity did you figure out why the wavelan card would not work on your network?

good luck in all of your endeavors coius! i wish you all the best!

I'm going to! Thanks!

That's an awesome find!!!

Well, another lonely apple product has found it's way into my lap. I have managed to acquire this little homely MacBook. It has it's flaws, it has some cracks, and the top is missing some plstic around the edges, and it has the typical yellowing, but i will say, I have gotten quite good with...

That is one HELL of a conquest, I don't even want to know what you paid for it!
