I picked up a Quicksilver after I spotted this CPU upgrade inside it. No manufacturer or speed listed and spots for assembly number (Assy No) and serial number (S No.) are blank. I haven't taken the heatsink off yet. Unfortunately the Quicksilver doesn't seem to want to power on and I...

I've been working on cleaning and upgrading a 1.42 GHz G4 Mac Mini (A1103) to make a OS 9 and 10.4 system. We know the retrobright method doesn't work on Macs like the G4 Mini and eMac because the (formerly) white plastic is behind a clear acrylic layer and can't be touched by whatever version...

I've been doing a lot of reading on 486 to Pentium III PCs to figure out how I want to build one or more systems for 90s-00s Windows 98 and DOS games. I know, boo PCs but I've got tons of old Macs and no old PCs - and I didn't expect parts to be so expensive. When forum contributors can stop...

I've got a 7100 and a 9500 That need some cosmetic work. I've had good luck retrobrighting Macs in the past and the plastics aren't too yellow on these systems. I'm going to go ahead with that assuming the 9500 doesn't crumble when I open it. They do both have some scratches on the metal parts...

I've decided I want a laser printer for home. Mainly because my HP all-in-one that is a few years old sucks, at least as a printer. If it decides to suck up all the paper at once and then print a little bit on each page, relegating them all to the scrap paper pile, one more time it might just...

Anyone have the driver for this card? ATTO has been no help. I had one before and couldn't get it to work. I can't remember if I didn't have the driver then or if there was something else strange that needed to be done with the card to make it work. Ended up just switching to a FWB...

Ok, how about some stories about your routine or one-time Mac scavenging experiences - even if they didn't land you any "conquests". The reason I bring this up is a few years ago I had one of the best times of my life (some people would say "sadly" but scr*w them!) digging around for computer...

I know basically nothing about music and sound on the Mac. I also admit to having next to no musical talent. :p I am however interested in possibly doing some real time processing and effects on live voice and maybe some other sounds. Up until fairly recently I've seen Nubus Digidesign...

A few years ago I knew all about these rare beasts but have forgotten most of it now (hopefully some of the resources I read before are still up somewhere). Anyway, I have one Rocket lying around that I think was missing a processor when I got it. I believe it was a 33 MHz 040 but I remember...
