Here in Columbus vintage/older Macs are hard to come by. Every now and then I search through Craigslist for something I'm interested in (Powerbooks and Compacts). Found a Mac Plus listed with no cords/keyboard/mouse for $80 (way high) and got it for $40. The case is a little yellowed, but the...

Hey guys, Just acquired what appears to be a pretty solid Mac Plus from craigslist. Boots from floppy fine (phew—my other Plus's floppy drive refuses to cooperate), very strong video/analog board, etc. However, the one keyboard I have for these seems to have certain keys that work never, and...

I loved my IIc. I need to get it out of storage at my parents...

Got it working—I connected the iMac with target disk mode to my G4 tower, booted the tower into 9.1 copied over the system folder from the tower, then ran the 9.2.1 and 9.2.2 updates. iMac started right up!

I just bought an iMac G4 on eBay with a blank hard disk and no CDs. It only has 128mb of RAM so I want to put OS 9 on it (It's the 700mhz model that shipped with 9.2.2 and 10.1.2 installed, so I know it can boot OS 9). Problem is, from what I've found it needs 9.2.2 (not 9.2.1), AND all 9.2.2...

I have one interested buyer locally but Ill put them up for grabs here if that doesn't work out.

15", 700mhz, so the earliest one. $85 shipped. The listing says "parts or repair" but that they wiped the hard drive, it boots to a :?: , and worked fine before they wiped it. I expected to get out bid but was surprised this morning to have it. These are one my favorite Apple designs of all...

Just as a cool secondary monitor. This is kind of a combination of two projects—a Mac Plus with a Core 2 inside and a home theater PC.

I'll preface this by saying I have two compact projects going on: 1) A clean, good-physical-condition, working Mac plus to run HappyPlusClock on (nearly 24/7) 2) A "hackintosh plus"—a home theater PC stuffed into a Mac Plus (or 512k...) case, complete with monochrome VGA CRT and HDMI out to...

What I really just want to do is "play" a Mac as a software synthesizer. The older, the better, as I'd think the "lower quality" synths would be more unique. I can go as old as an SE or as new (classic wise) as a 7200. When this comes in and the holidays settle down I'll give it a try. I have a...

I have an older MIDI enabled keyboard + I was thinking of getting a newer 1 or 2 octave controller. Most of those are USB but I think there are a couple that have raw MIDI as well.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120504889362&ssPageName=ADME:X:AAQ:US:1123 I'm not really sure what to do with this, but I had never seen or heard of it before so I snagged it up (and the price was right). Any suggestions for MIDI software for older macs...

Can you re-cap a Classic II board? If so, what's the cost including shipping and the caps from 43201? Thanks!

If you post a schematic for VGA -> Color Classic CRT, I will float you a donation AND buy a Color Classic tomorrow to do this mod.

It is a Mac edition card. I have a Sawtooth G4 with the same card that runs Leopard as my server. Hopefully this will be come my OS9 gaming machine (if I can find a cheap LCD).

I have no idea, but since it came from a school (I think), I would assume a real mac edition.

I saw an ad for a B&W minitower on Freecycle today and snapped it up: 300mhz G3 256mb RAM (I think) CD-ROM ZIP HD (unknown) ...and a Radeon 7000, with DVI, VGA, and S-Video. The drive to pick it up was worth the card alone, as my project blue and white OS 9 gaming rig still has a Rage...

Where did you get your LCD? I'm having a hard time sourcing a used one, and they are pretty expensive new (at least the one's I've found).

Sounds like BS to me. Apple doesn't care. These "recycler" jerks just want the money they get from selling the scrap metal. It drives me insane how they can have these "drives" like they're doing a public service, when really they're just trying to make a profit. Even better that public tax...

That's what I figured, just thought it'd be a little easier to get at. I'm gonna give it a few days to let voltage dissipate then have a go at it.
