If you are going to be completist, then under 0. you need all of the pre-Launch macs that were made. These include the Twiggy macs, the macs used during development and so on. They mightn't be affordable or available but they most definitely belong in the list.

Well done sir!

Why not get yourself a PCI SATA card? You'll need to flash it though. There are threads here on this topic. It will keep your IDE buses free. https://store.rabbitholecomputing.com/RETRO-SATA-PCI-p/rhc-sata-sii3112-pci-hard-card.htm

It's not an answer to your directly. If you want faster disk I/O, an external Zulu-SCSI should greatly help your Mac Plus, assuming they work on the Mac Plus. It's quieter too. I haven't used a Plus in decades and its implementation of SCSI is not as complete as it could be, so it mightn't work...

I remember being told in the early to mid-nineties by someone in an Apple dealership in Dublin that Macs were designed with a usable lifetime of 7 years and that they should all be expected to work within that timeframe. 2004 is ten years after the PB 150 was released, so, my guess is, Apple had...

Does anyone know what brand this is?

I collected a G4 recently and it came with a front display with temperature (and other) information.

This G4 looks to have a 4-port ethernet card in it. I know that Cisco made similar cards but for the Mac? Does anyone know about these cards and are they supported in Mac OS 9?

I was thinking of myself when I got back into macs in 2009. I had some knowledge but the more modern stuff alluded me. This was as much a message to me then as it is to people new to the hobby. SCA-drives are admittedly rarer and pricier than back in 2009.

I would add to this: • There are various kinds of SCSI plugs but they essentially fall into 2 categories: a. Single-Ended (SE) — the original kind and all built-in SCSI in Macintoshes uses this. Essentially it uses 25-pin or 50-pin plugs. b. Low-Voltage Differential (LVD) — operates...

This is what I feared. Thanks for this.

<record mode='scratched'>I have a mac mini G4 running Mac OS 9.2.2 and it is great for downloading images, making images and burning images. I strongly recommend getting one and putting Mac OS 9.2.2 onto it.</record> I'll burn a post you out a burnt copy of Mac OS 8.5 & the Mac OS 8.6 Update...

@rabbitholecomputing Would you consider doing these for the 040 PDS or is that an exercise in frustration?

PM sent.

I'll update the online list over the weekend. I've made a quick inventory of my non-Apple ADB peripherals and this is what I've found. • Kensington Turbo Mouse #64100 2-button ADB Trackball • Macally Keyboard MK-105x • Umax Keyboard • Quark Dongle 102078 • Quark Dongle 102079 • HASP...

And? Do you notice much of a difference? Is the G5 more responsive in 10.2 than in 10.3? I have a 2.0GHz 2003 G5 that I must try this system on.

It is diffusing into a Monty Python-esque silliness, which I am not against. It just needs a bishop and it will be almost complete. I have also learnt about the SDUK and their lovely maps.

This is what interests me at the moment: the Atlas Suisse — a trigonometrically surveyed map of Switzerland from 1802 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlas_Suisse https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlas_Suisse — the maps themselves can be found in the links at the bottom of this page I also...
