I guess we'll find out! I'll have to flip through the manuals later today.

LOL, I wondered if the other bidder was someone from the 68kMLA. Awkward?  :lol: It did not come with the cable, which isn't much of an issue unless I want to do dual displays... and really, I don't need to.

The best finds are certainly always the expected ones. I was looking at my eBay feed on my iPad and stumbled upon a boxed DOS Compatibility Card for the 6100 series, in box! No software (which I already have) but the card itself and all of the manuals and software licenses. Cool! Put in a bid...

Oh! And in regards to OS 9, I'm guessing that FireWire 800 was just too new and they didn't want to put in or just couldn't add driver support. The same goes for the Airport Extreme card - which is more than likely why the 2003/OS 9 booter had no FW800 and a standard Airport card... though I...

Wind tunnels, chirping PSUs... I would certainly love to be in QA at Apple. I think they could use the help. :lol:

You know, I had read that but haven't tried it out yet. The MDD doesn't have a permanent home right now so once I tested it all and set it up, I put it back on the box for safe keeping. Funny thing is I used CHUD on a G5 in my office to do the exact opposite because it had made that awful...

Up until now, I don't know that I've ever actually SEEN a Mirrored Drive Door system in person - save maybe a glance in an Apple Store when I was vacationing elsewhere. When the G4 towers were current, I was living and attending college in an area with little Apple presence. Our art lab went...

I actually *did* drop a PCI card in it with a successful boot and no issue, but I wasn't about to stress test it. Morbid curiosity, I suppose! I was still tempted for the 6500 board, but I'm not that obsessed with keeping this machine going. A G3 card sounds fun though, I've never seen one of...

So, here it is, booted up for the first time! Running OS 8.1 and there was a copy of Free Guard installed that really limited use of the machine... I have no idea what in the world was going on there. That nonsense had to go. On the plus, the x400 board (200Mhz) works perfectly! Dropped in...

I think the 6500 is supposed to be the most plug-and-play because it can handle the voltages the right way. I saw that the 5400 board might need a power supply swap, but I read elsewhere that it would work as long as there wasn't a PCI card installed. I'm going to test the board I have sometime...

I was visiting family this weekend and remembered my stepfather's parents had inherited a 5200CD from me when I was in college. I asked about it and they had set it in the garage and would be more than happy if I took it back! It has yellowed a bit since I gave it to them, but it is still in...

Yikes! Holy exploded battery! That makes me incredibly sad - but hopefully you can get it restored!

I took a stop into Half Price Books today after lunch and scoured around. Lo and behold, they actually had software in the clearance section! I didn't know what to expect - and there it was! The 7th Guest for Mac! I had always heard about this game but never played it. And it only requires a 68k...

Just a brief look at some resellers had the 1.83Ghz and 2.0Ghz models between around $600-$650. Those are probably a little inflated, or maybe not. $300 was just fine as far as I know since that's all I spent, and I'll get a crazy amount of use out of it.

That was a big part of my logic. Not to mention iResQ proved to be VERY awesome as far as communication went, they called twice with progress updates (and I do enjoy how they popped up on my cell as "RES Q") - couldn't have asked for better service I don't think.

I had a TiBook as a triple-boot machine way back when I worked at Now Software, had it running 10.2, 10.3 and 10.4 on different partitions. It felt like such a nice machine, and it had the high-res panel if I remember correctly. So sad that they hinges weren't more well-made, overall they're...

I contemplated doing the repair myself, but after starting a new job and trying to get things in order I just didn't feel quite up to it. I'm not much for taking the lazy way out! I do love a challenge and all, but I made an exception this time. |)

She's a great gal, and I've met her husband and son on a couple of occasions. I was relieved I could actually help - she has the most massive iPhoto library I've ever seen. 8-o

If you don't have anything nice to say... well, you get it. Move along.

A couple of weeks ago, a friend and former co-worker told me that her husband had dropped his MacBook Pro down the stairs and busted the LCD. Of course, the repair quote was ridiculously high and they were debating picking up a newer model anyway, so they replaced it. She said they couldn't find...
