It does have some usefulness, if said Liron card is present... Makes it easy to get software transferred to/from a Mac with a built-in floppy drive that can read/write 400K/800K disks. Don't have to rely on a serial connection and ADT.

Nice. I would replace the 80 column card with an AE RAMWorks II or III, though. You also can add an Apple SuperDrive controller card to let the //e access 3.5" floppies, including 1.4MB disks with an Apple SuperDrive (M7287) floppy drive. The Reactive Micro site based out of Bremerton...

Yup, except for the Macintosh TV version of the M0487, and, I think a black version of the ADK.

Nice. Simple fix. If you've an extra ADB keyboard, use that with it. No need to stick with the somewhat mushy feeling USB keyboards.

https://www.reactivemicro.com/product/battery-iigs-rom0-1-caddy/ This also works. You could also get a normal Mac PRAM battery holder, solder wires to it, the use a *CR*14250, getting the same safety benefits as a CR2032, but in a higher capacity battery.

Sure, not a problem.

A M1212 is a decent little monitor and should work fine with it. I'm using one with my IIfx these days, since I decided that the M1298 was better matched with my Quadras (now only one, the Q650). The Dell should be able to do 640x480 without issues. Just make sure that the adapter is set up...

For that matter, to be 100% safe, don't use a battery. At all. No CR2032, nothing.

All of the Li-SOCl2 batteries are. No, you don't need to solder in a CR2032 holder. Use this instead: https://www.batteriesplus.com/product-details/primary-other/battery/sanyo/lithcr14250se It's now made by FDK, but, same chemical compound as a CR2032. Here's the bad type...

Which monitor do you plan to use with it? If it's a M1212 or a M0401, you'll be fine with stock onboard VRAM. If it's a M1298, like the one on my IIfx in my avatar, then max out the VRAM. That'll let you get 24-bit color. I'd post a pic of mine with 128MB RAM, but seems that the forum is...

Yep. Chassis and case is the same. The IIvx, if the board is functional, might be worth keeping intact. It's possible the holder can be salvaged and a CR14250 can be used, preventing the disaster from occuring again, but without needing an adapter. You could put the Turbo 601 that...

Another option is a Centris or Quadra 650 logic board...

Nice. I've had two. Sold my last one about 14 months ago. Wanted to upgrade my photo gear.

It may. Once the machine is running again, test it out. You'll want to download the 2020Patch software off the Macintosh Garden and apply that to it. That way, the machine will recognize 2026.

Luckily, the Varta battery isn't very likely to explode. It's a LiMN battery, like a CR2032. So, if it still has 3 volts, not to worry about it. When it does die, clip it, then either run batteryless, or replace it with something else that isn't Li-SOCl2 (the 3.6 volt batteries that *WILL*...

^This. You can even pick up a USB Apple SuperDrive burner and use that with a USB-A to USB-C adapter on your 2021 MBP and burn disc images to CD-Rs using Disk Utility. Eventually, I would get a Pioneer DVR-107 or 108 and install that in the G3, once that machine is stable. That way, it will...

It's a shadow... My G4 has the same dark spot when you look at it from the same angle.

You can also use the Graphite G4 plastics on it. My last B&W G3 was essentially a B&C G3 (Blue & Clear) when I got it. I did notice that said computer was a little unstable with an Adaptec 2940U2W card installed. Replaced that with a 29160N, and it was a lot more stable. Currently have that...
