The Powerbook 140 I got arrived with a blank LCD and nothing comes up when I boot it. The HD is dead unfortunately so nothing comes from that end. I happen to have an LCD from a 145B that was DOA but the LCD worked. I installed it on the 140 base, and up comes the disk '?'. After booting the...

After removing the logic board from a Bondie Rev A/B with a bad CRT. I noticed that there appears to be a spot on the motherboard for a floppy port, if one were to solder one to the board. Does anyone have the parts/time/skill to test this theory? I have the part, but no time and no soldering...

This is my best conquest in some time. Recently I posted in ehmac.ca (Canadian Mac Forum) replying to a classified ad where someone was offering another user a PBG4 for the cost of a ferry trip. The guy was a bit weird in his reply, so I snuck in and said I would take it if he doesn't want it...

I was attempting to sell this PB Lombard, but have had no takers. So I decided to swap the logic boards myself. The original board would chime very static like and you could hear the HD power up, but the green light would not come on and it wouldn't do anything. So I figured something was up...

As many of you know, there is a case for an Apple Multiserver case on ebay. I won't post the link here as its all over the internet. There is some reference on RoughlyDrafted regarding a BigMac project: a personal Mac workstation system based upon a Unix foundation. This may be reference to the...

Well this is going to be a fruitful day. So far I have picked up a box of Mac Cards for $20 and it included: 11 Video cards including a 9800pro Mac Edition, ixtwin turbo, and a bunch of rage 128's 1 G3 Powerlogix Upgrade PDS Card 4-5 USB Cards 1 USB/Firewire Combo card (has rust on one FW...

Today I picked up a Power Macintosh 8600/300 with a Applevision 1710 monitor. I have been told it all worked when it was last used but i haven't been able to power it up just yet. The 8600 has the CDROM, floppy and zip drive but no HD. There are 5 slots full of RAM but only 2 of the VRAM slots...

I have a Tangerine iBook that I want to setup for my daughter. Besides games (I have lots of those), what software exists to make the OS more kid friendly. I am hoping it will be enough to allow my 3 year old to use it without too much assistance. Any software suggestions or hints would be...

Just picked up a Powerbook 1400c in the original box! The box contents are incomplete but it is mostly there. Included was: Powerbook 1400c/133 16MB/1.2/8x box with floppy foam (missing floppy) and Poweradapter box with original software books (missing CD) bottom foam for the laptop, but...

Some of you on IRC have heard this story, but I need to reach a larger audience. A while ago I got a G4 Cube with a 17" ADC monitor. Initially it was being weird when it was on by randomly turning off. Since I was busy moving, I didn't have time to investigate it further. After moving I was...

I have a G4 Cube and a 17" ADC Monitor. It works initially but after a sleep or restart the ADC monitor will not turn back on. I have to turn the cube completely off before it will work again. I plugged in a VGA LCD monitor and it worked fine. I assume this is a problem with the monitor or it...

Found this in my latest conquest. Since the HD appears to be dead or missing (not detected and not powering up). I don't have a photo yet, but I was wondering if anyone knew what this would be used for? I don't have the proper screwdriver ATM to open it up and find out more information. Any...

Never owned one of these in my life but I remember using them at school. Both are in working condition. Model 1 - Ireland built 1990 8MB RAM 40MB HD Ethernet PDS Card Could have more RAM but I think that MODE32 is not installed. Light screen burn-in Model 2 - USA Built 1988 8MB RAM No...

I've been wanting a Cube since they were released in 2000. It is a basic 450mhz/192MB/40GB/DVD and it came with a 17" Apple ADC LCD monitor. Its a neat unit in decent overall physical and working condition. I ended up trading my DP G5 for it that had 2 dead RAM slots out of 4. Seemed a little...

I'm a little confused as to how this happened but maybe someone here can help. My original setup was my IIfx next to my mini, where I could use the same LCD monitor and it worked fine. I hadn't used it for a while, but it remained plugged in (the VGA had to be unplugged from the LCD while the...

I've been looking for a CD-ROM drive equipped 68k mac...and now I have one! LC630 with 20MB RAM, and a 230MB HD. Pretty clean and came with keyboard, mouse, and 15" Multiscan monitor (yes it does have the weird VGA to Mac cable)). The only thing I noticed is an audible high pitch noise from...

A small conquest for me (it has been a while). Original Airport Card, 2 512MB SD-RAM SO-DIMM, and a 60GB Fujitsu Hard Drive. Grand total: $15 Apparently all were pulled from a Titanium.

For those who use IRC on your Mac, what do you use the majority of the time? My preference is Colloquy that see's daily use.

Tonight I just picked up a G5 1.8ghz DP and a 400mhz G4 Tower. The weird thing is apparently they removed the hard drives before selling them to me, yet there is a drive in both computers. The G5 is missing the optical drive, guide screws, and the hard drive that was installed was on the IDE...

I bought a PDQ on ebay for $5 plus shipping. It works fine except for one thing. After a short time of use, the internal drive will startup and do a self-check, and then power down. It will repeat this issue and it will not boot from CD while it does this. Last time it just eventually turned...
