I know! They are just their for the photo shoot. This is also after I gave the monitors an extensive cleaning; these two were being stored in a dusty garage:

So these were headed for the trash-until I saved them! This is part of a larger haul I got yesterday. At the same place, there is a stack of mostly off-brand CRT monitors....I haven't decided if I am going to take any more of them. Most amazing to me was to find three unopened boxes of 5...

Unfortunately, this seems to be the case. I check buyee fairly regularly; while there are still some relatively good deal to be had, it has become more like eBay as far as finding some of the great deals that used to be on the site.

@CC_333 - I will probably sell some of the chips here, as I definitely don't need all of them. After that, I'm not entirely sure what I'm going to do with them. I should probably ask @ZaneKaminski if he might be interested in these, now that I think of it. I am one of the beta testers for...

So the school that I work at is in the processes of cleaning the closets out of one of the STEM labs, and they have a mother-load of old DIP chips that they are going to throw out. Including in this lot were two trays of Motorola 68000 CPU's! So of course I had to grab them: I also grabbed a...

@patatas -Unfortunately, I indeed did not think to back up the firmware for the CV card before I sold it :-(

@patatas -Unfortunately, I got rid of the card a few years ago now. Although I might have copied the firmware; I'll check when I get back home.

@Fred1212 -This one isn't for sale. I have a 40mhz daystar that will probably be the one I sell.....after I make sure that it works fine (I bought it in a IIci, but have never tested it yet). @ArmorAlley -I have a few of Bolle's cards, including his wonderful dual PDS adapter/ethernet combo...

Got this off of Buyee a little while back. What caught my eye was the 44Mb Syquest drive and......of course.....the promise of some kind of video goodie on the inside. This sticker peaked my interest (I don't remember seeing it in the auction), but it turned out to be nothing. So, I...

@chiptripper -Unfortunately, I sold my Interware CV-40-40 booster a few years back. Otherwise, I'd be happy to make a copy of the firmware for you!

I know that the Micromac website seems to say that this card is a ThunderCache card, model number TCCC32F (the F at the end means that it has an FPU). https://www.micromac.com/products/thundercache.html

The unfortunate thing with Tantalum caps is that when they fail, they usually fail with a "bang". This is why I don't use them anymore. I prefer polymer capacitors-they are safer (at least from what I've seen) and seem to be much more voltage tolerant than tantalum capacitors.

Unless you happen to have the original 800k install disks...which I do! Or, as I've done in the past, you can use the floppy emu to install an OS on a given machine....it works really well.

@bigmessowires -It seems easy, I just haven't had much luck. I guess it's kind of funny that to me, the older SCSI2SD was easier for me to work with....but then again, I have all of the vintage equipment to do it! What can I say, I like doing things the hard way.....at least, that's the way my...

This. My default way to install an OS on a SCSI2SD drive was first to format the card using an application such as Lido 7, and then simply treat the drive like a regular hard drive and install an OS from either a CD-ROM or the install files from another hard drive (all of this is done using...

Looks good here:

@SophieRose -Congratulations! And it looks like you have the same Wacom tablet that I use. @bigmessowires -I'll raise you my Sym I ...although I have to admit I haven't gotten it to work yet!

I use one of @Bolle's adapters in conjunction with a GL-AR300M shadow router and the Mac WIFI extension on my SE/30. Works pretty well.....at least, as well as it can with a 68030 based Mac. I basically used the same procedure that someone used here...

@volvo242gt @bibilit -This was the first test of the monitor, with it's original IIci and cable. Somewhere in my mess I have another cable that I can test it with, and of course, I can always hook it up to my SE/30 to see what it does as well. @KC13 -Sorry to hear about your IIci! If you...

So I recently won a IIci from Buyee...which in and of itself, isn't a big deal. But it had a Daystar Powercache 68030 card in it as well as a network card! The card is the 40Mhz version and doesn't have a 68882, but for the price that I got it all for, I think I did pretty good. However...
