You know what I miss? The days when you could get a Color Classic from a school for free. Been there, done that.

Sometimes the mechanic special can be worth it. I bought a IIsi for $20 at VCF. It's currently with Tom Andrews (Amiga of Rochester) getting a recap of both its main board and PSU. It lacked a HD but did have a floppy. There was no keyboard, mouse, or monitor, but I sourced a keyboard for $20...

There are some deals to be had though. In February 2023, I got an SE/30 at a recycler for $70. No cards, but it had 8MB RAM and came with a keyboard and mouse. All it needed was a recap and a floppy drive (which I still haven't put in). The drive inside is gummed to the max.

Curious if it takes less time after a CONTROL-COMMAND-RESET reboot. I have an LCII in my lab that occasionally comes up to this screen and after a reset, it's fine. It has a working SCSI drive like yours and was recapped a few years ago.

I forgot to add that this came with the matching 12 inch monitor. It’s honestly not a good bargain unless you factor in that it not only had the monitor, but it was a local pick up.

On Thanksgiving, I was totally bored and was browsing through Marketplace. I found a Mac LC for $50. My first thought was that it was probably in some far away place, but as it turned out, it was only a short drive from me. Today, I picked it up on my break from work. It doesn't have a keyboard...

Great to see my old thread revived!! Looking back at some of the replies, it sounds like we could have a pretty solid team here on this. Good thought about Cosmic Osmo!! They're similar in play style, too. One thing that I always felt could be incorporated into Spelunx is more of a math...

Only the CD-ROM version has music. The disk version only has a few sound effects, specifically when a rock is hit while rafting, the rifle is fired during hunting, and when someone dies. The equivalent MS-DOS version on floppy DID have music.

I'm pretty sure this was the final model to be called an LC.

I’m still waiting for a modern MacDraw/CW draw module…

You mentioned sending it to NY. If you're referring to sending it to Amiga of Rochester, it's worth every penny. He's done tons of boards and power supplies for me and they've turned out wonderfully. He's especially worth the money if your soldering isn't the greatest like mine is (I can do...

If it helps, I seem to remember reading something once about the keyboard having a new layout around the time the Plus came out within the system software--something about the calculator DA in particular changing in System 3.x along the way. Are these computers running the same version of the...

We know the original model was in Apple IIc white, aka "fog". The platinum model came out in 1987 alongside the platinum Macs. Was there ever an overlap that year when both colors of ImageWriter II were being made? I'm seeing some original owner platinum Plus and SE owners with the fog...

Bumping this old thread because...this computer is about to go on the market in about 15 minutes...

Awesome work!!

I think one of you out there has an SE with a blue LED. I'm 90% sure I sold one to a user on here three years ago. I bought the LED at Radio Shack when it was still around.

Count me in as another one who no longer likes the idea of tantalum caps. Some years ago, I posted about a re-capped LC having some video interference issues. The LC had tantalum caps on its board and I believe they may have been a little off from the original values. After switching to...

From my experience: The early SE had red, which I usually have seen paired with a MiniScribe. Sometime around the SE/30 launch, amber began to be used quite frequently. Green is a rare color in the SE line but I've seen it on an OEM drive (including in the SuperDrive model). Most SE/30s I've...

I own nine pizza box LCs and not one of them came with a screw, including the one I bought new. If it had one in the box, it got tossed in 1992, but I don’t remember one ever being in there.

Was this computer ever intended to be called the LC IV? I remember my dad saying something about a rumored "LC IV" at some point in 1993 right around the time this computer officially came out. (Note: he didn't work for Apple, nor was he in the tech sector; he was, however, a teacher and was in...
