Well, I tested a few things. Here's an overview. Apple II+ - powered on at first, some keys slightly unresponsive. Turning it off then back on results in a white screen with random artifacts. NES: Powers on to a blinking red light. SNES: Works beautifully =) Sega and SegaCD system: Works...

Thanks for the responses! He said nobody had previously bought anything - a few more items were at another location, he said, including possibly a IIgs. The Microsoft card came out of a IIe, so it definitely isn't a regular PC Nubus or PCI card. I'll look into the NES items... If the SNES is...

So I grabbed a lead on Craigslist for some vintage equipment. Didn't get everything for the price listed in the ad, but not a bad deal I don't think. This is just a top of my head list. Apple: ][ plus, several of cards, misc floppy drives, an external hard drive, and some other things. A...

Hi all, Trying to get my SE/30 up and running something useful. However, I cannot get it to boot System 7, any variety. It will not boot off the HD SC 20 anymore, it used to boot off the blessed Sys 7 install that was on there, not anymore. It will boot from a System 7.0.1 and 7.1 Disk Tools...

I have two of these beasts sitting at home in a corner. Neither of them have worked, and they've sat for about 4 years now. Dana, how did you fix yours? Can you hold on to any notes or little software utilities and things? I'd love to refurbish the two I have.

So I've been on a streak with conquests lately haha. Late last week, CL post for a 19" Philips LCD HDTV. No power, $10. Gave a buddy a $20 to go get it, and all it needed was a few capacitors replaced (damn CapXon). The other day, I got a 22" Acer widescreen that broke when the guy's power...

So, it has 8MB of RAM, and a whole bunch of software - DiskDoubler, Norton Utilities (ew), NowMenu, and a bunch of other stuff that makes funny noises and things look different. And After Dark =D The printer is broken, and out of ink. I just wish it had been a StyleWriter, maybe the Color...

Hey all! Another conquest I'm pretty excited about. Post on craigslist offering a IIvx with monitor, $10. Went by on my way home from work and picked it up. Spotted a nice Kenmore microwave for $15 (her son was moving or something....) Anyway, offered $20 for the lot, and got it. Here's the...

Hey, I just received a 3GB HD to put in my TAM. Pulled the old drive, formatted new one with my MacBook, etc. Well, I put the TAM back together, plugged it into the base unit, and now it will chime, but no green light and no display. Tried restarting via keyboard as well as turning it off and...

Welcome! :D My IIfx came with a monster 5.25" drive that wasn't hooked up. I connected it to the internal SCSI and power cables, turned on the machine, and it blew an inductor on the logic board. no more internal drive for my IIfx. A word of warning merely; not to meant to scare you :o)...

Thanks! I'm still fairly excited about it myself. Need to track down a keyboard/mouse and the accessories for it, but at least that gives me something to do for the next few years ;) The eMac has bad caps. Oh well. The iMac needs a SATA hard drive cable. The only one I have is not...

Byrd, I know =( it's the only working HDD I had that wasn't already in a Powerbook. I'd read in a few places that TAMs can't use drives of greater than 4GB, or they will eventually just die. And Coius, my zip code is 44305 - PM me with details if you want. Thanks =)

Well, thanks for the help everyone! I got the G3 card to be recognized - had to use a PB3400 to download and transfer some of the installers, as most of them came over corrupted from my MacBook Pro. Everything seems to be working great - just have to source a 2GB or so HD to replace the 340MB...

Umm it's fairly generic... I don't think it is labelled actually. No power cord required, though, so it's a fairly basic model. Labels on the front said it was used with a 6400, G3, and like 8600. :)

Local Goodwill turned up a KVM for old Macs! Supports 3 machines (ADB and monitor) and also has a converter so you can use a PC or Mac monitor on your desk. Not bad for $2!

Okay, I brought out a trusty old AppleCD 600e drive and installed OS 8.6. That went fine. Things seem much more responsive, which is great, however, Apple System Profiler is showing the machine as having a 250MHz 603ev processor, when a G3-400MHz upgrade is in place. I've never had a processor...

Hi all, I have some questions about my 20th Anniversary Mac. It has a G3-400MHz upgrade and 128MB of RAM. However, it's horribly slow. I know the HD I have in it isn't the greatest, but it's not all HD-based. For example, SimTower on my PowerBook 3400c (180MHz, 32MB of RAM, OS 9.1) is wayyy...

Hi all, After a little wanted ad on Craigslist, I now have the above machines. $155 for all. The eMac is a G4 1.33GHz or something... couldn't read the entire label. Apparently has a bad PS, and also is missing the drive caddy. Free. Intel iMac (1.83GHz). This was in pieces, and was mine for...

Hey all, Posted a wanted ad on my local Craigslist, and a nice retired man replied, saying he has "three Mac Plus and four old 'towers.'" I told him I'd be glad to check them out - hoping he might have mistaken a similar Mac or two as a Plus as well. I got to his house, and the entire basement...

So this quest kind of died out this winter. I haven't really found too much more info, but I have an update. My 2400c lives again! My Mac OS 9 installation (or something :?: ) was screwed up, and the machine would boot to the desktop but fall asleep before the Finder would load. And wake up...
