:) I just won a Power Mac 7500/100 with a Sonnet Crescendo 500MHz G3 card. Comes with keyboard, mouse, mousepad, and extra RAM.  Also has original box for G3 upgrade and the original 601 too. Got it for $56, plus 30 shipping.  I'm stoked….especially glad its got a G3 upgrade.

Very nice!

Recap is like the standard thing to do to these older Macs. :) Especially the sensitive ones like 840AV etc. I've got my eyes open for a decent Quadra 605 on fleabay though.

Yeah.  In our labs we also had over 25+ Macs linked on PhoneNet, with a central file server and shared laser printer.  No problems there.  The limit is probably when just sharing each hard drive individually.

Welcome to the forum :) Glad to hear it booted correctly with the extensions off. Much better than a hardware problem. At any rate, I'd get it recapped if you plan on keeping it around.

I don't plan on linking more than 5 or 6 Macs. My LCIIi+, and the LCII for sure. I'm looking into picking up a 7xxx series Power Mac, and maybe a 64/6500 tower. I'd also like to resurrect my B&W G3.

Awesome! I agree w/ Unity too....I'd be concerned about the battery as well.. Regardless, still an excellent find :)

Just picked up 3 new in box PhonetNet units with terminators on eBay for $6. :) Also grabbed another 6 used units for $8, also on eBay. Will come in handy when I get around to picking up a few more vintage Macs and want to network them together. I remember running PhoneNet networks back in 7th...

Grats on the IIc! Gotta love an unexpected come up on an old machine :)

Very nice.

Nice score!

Apple's own technical specification pages show they both use a maximum of 50 watts, while the 475 actually uses less amps. LCIII: http://support.apple.com/kb/SP209 475: http://support.apple.com/kb/sp244

I don't think it makes one bit of difference if you use the LCIII PSU in the 475. Both machines have the same case, same style internal peripherals, the only difference being the processor generation. From what I've gleaned on their specs, they both run at the same 50 watts maximum.
