I think the Supermac card is stuck at 8MB Gworld so only 2 x 4MB SIMMs work and I have never seen any of a different size anyway. LEM says the 8.24GC can use 2x4MB SIMMs same as used on the IIfx for 10MB total Gworld (I guess there is 2MB on the card).

These days if you find a reasonable LC it is probably dirty, needs recapped, missing the HD, and the floppy is probably dead. I remember picking up a couple LC IIIs from a sketchy guy that had a trailer full of them from a school twenty years ago and one whistling to death five minutes after I...

I had issues with plastics on the 8500 (1 generation newer then the 8100) 15 years ago so things will be getting worse. At least now you can probably 3d print anything that needs replaced and somebody probably has a model made for it by now.

I wonder how many fonts and pages 200MB would hold anyway, it's not like an office would be hammering it in your basement. Printer upgrades are fun, took me years to get the RAM expansion for my 4/600 PS.

Large laptop SCSI HDs would be hard to find these days.

2MB SIMMs. Pull the 256K SIMMs out and see what you get.

The oldest LCD's I have are 1280x1024. Never seen a 1024x768 native LCD screen except on a laptop, I assume you will have issues with motion blur on something that old.

I have a few SE machines and turning them into SE/30's in not an option for me since I have a couple SE/30's anyway. The stock SE is a great 68000 machine with 720K drives for old software plus you have a HD making life fun. I never bothered to collect the original compacts because without...

Yes, finding a good wiper will be the issue.

The toner cartridge rubber wiper is probably falling apart or leaks from age.

The 292@83 is faster than the 300@66 that came out after. Never really looked into which of my G3 desktops were 83Mhz capable.

How so? I never said they were invented in 2003 (more like 1940's) just becoming common use in PC's after 2003. Most PC CPU's used simple Aluminum or exotic Copper heatsink/fans when TDP was user 80W (Athlon XP and P4 ERA in early 2000's). Thermaltake came out with heat pipes around 2003.

The Quad G5 came out in 2005 and heat pipes for CPU started coming out in 2003 or so. There was probably a period where water cooling was the only option.

Are there any gaps between the processors when the heatsinks are installed so that air goes around them instead of through them?

I had a UMAX 1200s I think was the model number connected to my Q950 at one time. Wacom tablet is connected to the KVM that goes to my Radius 81/110, SE/30, Beige G3, and Q950.

Early versions of the Classic Mac OS (prior to 7.5.2) have a 2 GB limit per partition, so higher capacity drives need only be partitioned into multiple 2 GB (or smaller) segments. For Macs running System 7.5.2 through 8.0, the limit is 4 GB (specifically 4,063 MB) per partition, and PCI-based...

ADB bus has +5VDC, Ground, ADB Signal, and power-on (for macs that can be turned on from the keyboard). ADB machines tend to have a fuse on the ADB input, so you don't blow up your motherboard, and the spec sheet says 500mA is the max current draw. Connecting too much crap might overload the...

A few of my 950's are buried but the ones I have setup have keys 095,044. One of those keys (set of 2) were from my AWS95 but work in another machine. One machine didn't have a key.

The other day ebay had what looked like a complete setup minus the card (box, disks, breakout). Sold for $42 free shipping.

The cards should be much easier to find than the breakout box. I find it funny how people want hundreds for cards that are 100% useless without the breakout boxes.
