The beige G3's are some of my favorite machines I have them in all three of the form factors but I like running OS 9 on them not X. And yes all the 500s work. I have those all at my office but I keep my TV at home which is why it's not in the lineup.

Not really we have caddy load vs tray load cd drives, manual or auto floppies, trinitron vs cheap shadow just to name some differences from the 520 through 580.

So my 575 arrived now and that basically completes my 500 series. I'm not going to try and get the weird ones like the 578. I do however wish they were all either lc or performa instead of a mixture.

If you start adjusting voltages without doing the proper repair of changing capacitors you are just asking for more problems.

Apple video player does not work with this. You use the "TV Setup" control panel and then switch to TV mode, it doesn't work like the later AV inputs on newer machines.

I can look on mine later today and let you know for sure but I want to say there is a control panel for TV that you can setup hotkey to switch into TV mode you simply hit that and it switches over to TV. It will not display in a window or anything like that how the power macs do.

It's actually one of the only lines I haven't owned some variation of, I've been on the lookout for a 6400/6500 just cause I wanted to hear the startup sound haha

Been a busy day with pickups. Got an eMac G4 for $20 locally in working condition. Also two complete Apple iigs systems with ImageWriter II (pictures coming) for free.

Well the 6500/275 arrived today. The case could use some cleaning but it's a working machine, getting its install of OS8 now.

On this G3 I'm more interested about what that keyboard is, some sort of aftermarket but it looks like it might have potential.

Well bought another G3 desktop today, not that I needed it, for only $45 including shipping.

And for the first time ever this uploading decided to rotate my photos :-/

I really should have started a single thread a long time ago with all my machines but since I didn't here is the latest. It is the Apple 1705 monitor. Found in working condition with perfect plastics for only $25 thanks to craigslist.

I don't really play games or anything, it was just another machine I didn't already own and therefore needed one.

Well overall it's a nice machine will probably end up sitting between the color classic and Mac tv on a shelf without a real use for it lol

I didn't take pictures of the packaging but I was actually surprised it came so well because all they used was a thick cardboard box with sheets of the hard styrofoam filling all the gaps inside the box around machine. And I want to say some shrink wrap or something actually on the machine. It...

So I pulled the card out to take pictures but once I did I was able to read another part number that was on the back plate near the actual Ethernet port, it was: P701-001. After some googling found out that it is a Sonic Systems card. Drivers for it were available on vintageapple.org And I now...

Picked up what looked to be a nice Performa 550 off the bay. It arrived today without a single piece of broken plastic, I was quite shocked.

I'll have to snap pictures of it tomorrow when I go to work. It's in my 5400/180 I just picked up. And the actual Ethernet chip is a DEC but can't remember the number.

I'll have to do some more checking, I didn't see anything like an apple part number on it and it's certainly not being seen by my clean 7.6.1 install.
