OK, got stuff pulled together and initially set up, and also pulled some of the extra stuff out of the box and look through it. This is a pretty amazing and crazy collection! Unfortunately, the floppy emu I have does not have the Apple II disk emulation loaded on it as it was being used with a...

Don’t have pictures yet, but I just picked up a nice intact and cleaned up Apple][e including extras. Multiple floppy disk drives, including a side-by-side, a 3 1/2 floppy drive that works, extra cards, and an original green monochrome monitor. , And some floppy discs with some programs on...

Fun! Looks kinda Carolina Panthers!

Ok, on this! I have a Mac Classic box and an old 2014 Mac mini and want to make a machine that will do weird Midi things.

I could paint it black like Action Retro's old totally weird modded black se/30 with the odd drives shoved in. Rolling Stones style. But, .... no. ;)

I will at some point. I have a rainbow apple one that has a q key that sticks and wants to keep ghost typing, but once I get that fixed, and use it with my SE/30, it will open up another one I have for use with the G3. All my ADB are beige though. I guess they all are.

Thanks for the good ideas! I think using an Arduino along with would be close enough!

I did re-seat all the RAM and the machine seems to work fine now. I will likely to a clean install anyway, starting with a Power Mac G3 install CD I bought and then updating to 9.2. It currently does not have a battery. I will change that later in some way or another. Thanks for the help so...

I pulled the battery. I will replace it later. Going to do clean system install also.

SE/30 is my machine. Just was thinking it would be fun/cool to use era correct(ish) gear to do some of this. Thanks!

VINTAGE SYNTHESIZER/MIDI/LIGHT SHOW STUFF: First, let me know if this fits better somewhere else. Like the Compact Mac forum. Interested in in using old machines to create/modify/use synthesizer sounds to make music, and potentially also control lights. Not sure what I will ever do with...

Yeah!

Ok, will consider that also. All in time. I will have a nice little collection, but not sure I need to have every iteration of beige, so may not need ann 040 machine as I have a Beige G3, unless I start a local museum or something when I retire. But will keep an open mind.

Does a Quadra 610 motherboard work? Or a 640AV? Never mind. Answered my own question and the answer is a no.

Cool. I have one of the dark blue ones and am going to need to try to find a replacement screen myself. I found the same model number and will keep my eye out for one.

Jumping into this slightly older thread as I recently picked up a pretty nice condition Quicksilver 933 and am looking into options for down the road.

OK, had a chance to mess around with this one a little bit this morning along with the monitor that came with it, with the broken leg I’ll have to figure out how to fix, and gotta say, pretty happy for 50 bucks!

Ok, great. I saw at least one of the regular apple mod/repair guys on YouTube simply replacing with the same style on newer machines and wondered about that. That company has a convenient location in Boise, where I am half the time, so will pick one up there.

Ok, after initial opening, and pulling the battery, and hearing some good ideas here, going to look into this a while and figure out what to do with it eventually. A large part of my reasoning was using it to learn to recap and repair a board decently, and I don't have time to attend a class...

That sounds like a good idea regarding use and thank you on the batteries.
