A tip that I have is don't take one of these compacts apart without a magnetic tipped screwdriver. No matter what I did I could not get the inner screw back in the hole when mounting the harddrive back on top of the disk drive I had to leave it out for later. So annoying impossible to get your...

Thats what I was thinking ive been a lurker here since probably 2015 and i always enjoyed this kind of stuff so the first thing i thought of when i happened across this was id post it because i knew people would find it interesting and maybe get something out of it. I sure have learned alot so...

When its all said and done i'll see what I have left and let you know send me a DM about it so i have a reminder

Thanks for the tip. I was aware of the fragility of the necks on these. The glass looks pretty damn thin. I've taken apart a good amount of CRT tvs in the past and have done minor solder repairs. I hope to take that to the next level soon..

To answer one of my above questions, I realize now the logic board kind of swings open like a door a bit allowing you to easily disconnect and connect the speaker wire. Also to change the battery lol so no need to take all the drives out!

Going to break down the 3 SEs today and take the batteries out. This is my first time taking apart an SE I had a minor hiccup. I kind of breezed through a youtube video of a breakdown and it didnt show the removal of the wires off the logic board so i just did it myself as i figured it was...

Oh good to know, a bunch of people learned something not just me lol.

I was curious about this card i posted on page 2 and I found the manual for it online apparently it was some kind of card for making television or something. Computer Friends Inc TV Producer heres the manual I was just curious about it

Thanks for the info. I did some research myself on it, looks like it was used in conjunction with a tall long monitor the shape of a sheet of paper thus the full page. For graphics design and word processing, like you mentioned. Pretty cool stuff

Its about bedtime now but i remembered where my driver extensions were so i opened up the non superdrive SE as i noticed it had something on the back the others didnt theres some type of expansion card in it called Radius full page display 64khz. Am not going any further on anything tonight but...

Will take a high quality pic of the board tomorrow thanks

You talking about these? I just popped it open to look Yes, VERY interesting indeed!

Oh interesting. What do I need to look at or take a picture of?

Ill have to do the SEs later as I don't have a long enough driver to get the screws out and cant find an extension. So thats it for today.. I did however get to my other place to take pictures of the monitors Sorry alot of pics, random angles and shit it was dark down there no light so i just...

Heres the M0001. I have to say its in alot better shape than i thought it was. Its literally mint cosmetically. Even the piece of white cardboard on the back of the board looks new still lol. Is this a 128k mac? I am however having problems getting it to go back together and i dont want to risk...

I'll look into it later, or perhaps someone else could do it if i mailed it to them. If its important enough. So I have 5 power mac 7xxxs to go through still, anything decent to find in them possibly? Then the 3 duo docks, what should I do with those as far as preservation, do they have...

Very interesting indeed remind me later because i planned on imaging all the drives when its all said and done as some people recommended.

Nice, I had 2 good ones in the lot. And 1 good 475 as well. One of the LCs had an accelerator card in it as well which i was pumped about

Will do thank you for the heads up I am going to go look now

Heres a pretty unique one I think Sun Ultra 1 Creator3D According to the wiki "The Ultra 1 Creator3D 170E launched with a list price of US$27,995 (equivalent to $57,800 in 2024)" I may be wrong because the gov and universities love wasting taxpayers money through grants, but I don't think...
