Thanks, interesting, doesn't seem to be readily available anywhere.  Luckily i am upgraded over stock but guess i won't be topping off anytime soon. If anyone knows of any secret ram sources, please do let me know :)  

Can anyone help a brother out?  I'm looking for 72 pin right?  https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=m570.l1313&_nkw=128mb+ram+dimms&_sacat=0

Looking for 2x 128MB Ram dimms for this machine Anyone have a pair, or know where i might find some for sale? Bob over at Headgap is sold out.   Thanks! 

Amazing!!!   Whats with the naked baby doll on the floor? :D  I keed I keed....

I have noticed the Imagewriter II trips my breaker for my office basement if i leave it plugged in.  Is this more likely to be the power cord, or the unit itself?   Seems to work fine but it's definitely this item, when i leave it unplugged not trip.  When i leave it plugged in, the next...

Wanted to let you guys know that those cheap $4 and change printer ribbons work great.   I think they are new generics, not NOS from the 90's.   Anyway for the price i feel like i did pretty well. 

For under $5 shipped I took a chance on it :) Will still try to buy new if anyone heard any members are still making them or have stock available. @maceffects mentioned to me he was out of stock.

Thanks for the link; def going for box of tractor feed for old times sake.  I think they still sell it at staples too of all places.   I think if you do loose feed you have to feed it in one sheet at a time because there is no tray to support loose paper behind the machine...lol 

Thanks for the link!  I also PM'd a member about ribbons that was mentioned earlier in the thread.  I could feed in one page at a time but typically there is no way to use loose paper with these right?  You have to use the connected paper? EDIT:  Much better; made some space for it on the...

Dug out a Image Writer II Platinum and cleaned it up; hooked up to the 8600.  It's a little old but there it was in the Chooser :)   Prints okay; need to grab a new ribbon ASAP.  Going to keep it setup and try to find a better home/location for it. 

Why are the above links In-store pickup only?  Bizarre...lol Looks like the way to go when my IDE HDD dies.  Actually with a second IDE input on the card i should get one in there and backup my data to it first...

Perfect!  One less PCI slot to worry about!   Still going to keep an eye out for a Trio......seems like a good card to have.   Plus i'll eventually want a SATA card so i can do an HDD and the trio will come in handy then to run a CDR drive from while maintaining USB/Firewire inputs. 

Forgive me for sounding stupid; but will this port work as an ethernet internet/data input?  When i used these machines online BITD online it was through dial-up mostly so forgive me for not knowing.  I thought this port was for LAN connection only for some reason.  Yeah i'll skip the trouble...

Emac, talked then down to $35; should i grab it? https://vermont.craigslist.org/sys/d/colchester-apple-emac-powermac4-powerpc/7057397947.html Looks fun, but the only red flag to me is that it's missing the stand, and is maybe a tad scuffed up in the back. Could be a fun machine, will run...

Uh....yeah; pictures please!  VERY cool find. 

Thanks; thats' too bad; with the Firewire you think this card would be made for macs.  Probably for later OSX machines though? The 1999 SCSI Yamaha drive went in tonight.  Works great; toasted Worms CD game to test it out!  Played 9 holes of PGA III with it as well.  Sounds strong and healthy...

Hey guys, need to free up a PCI slot for an Ethernet card.  Anyone have any thoughts or experience with a card like this? https://www.ebay.com/c/1000220023 Have USB, FireWire, IDE, AND two data ports for a future SSD upgrade.  Any reason it wouldn't be compatible as plug and play with this...

Thanks guys.  Ordered a "Near Mint" Yamaha SCSI drive, 1 year newer and faster than my dead unit.  Even though i have multiple other ways to burn discs. I have a disease.....and the only cure is MORE CLASSIC MAC! 

Debating and need your opinions----should i even bother to put another CD-R drive in this machine? I have been burning CD's on my mac USB superdrive via IMGBurn on a Win 10 PC.   So i don't NEED to have a CDR/Toast running on here.    Would you bother?  Or just skip it; toss the dead unit, and...
