What are the best HDD backup options for an OS9 tower? I don't assume I can simply drop four drives in the box and setup some kind of RAID array . . . I never thought about backups back then, and since the advent of Time Machine, I've always used that. What do you all suggest? Ideally, the...

Available for $5 on craigslist, right near me. Is it worth it for eBay parts?

As I continue building my MDD setup for long-term OS9 use, I'd like some recommendations for expansion cards. Requirements: 1) Useful 2) Compatible with OS9 Would a SATA card do? How about USB 2.0? A SCSI card? Is there a card that will allow VBR floppy drive use? I've never used expansion...

I have just acquired this machine: I bought it hoping it as an MDD, but unsure. Turns out it was a FW800. Oh well. All is not lost. I intend to retrofit it to MDD spec and use it as my main OS9 boot machine. I'm sure a motherboard swap is in order. But what else? Help me, oh knowledgable...

My first ever non-eBay conquest. Craigslist. Included keyboard and mouse. First tell me what you would have paid (be honest), and then I'll tell you what I paid. Single 1Ghz chip. 512 MB RAM. DVD/CD-RW. No bluetooth. No Airport. No extra cards.

Guy got a freebie, took it apart, cleaned it, and put it all back together. Took some nice photos along the way. UPDATE: Whoah. That was just the tip of the iceberg. Check these out. Is this guy part of the 68kmla?

I appear to have found a complete set of original AppleCD SC drivers/readmes/INITs, etc. on one of the 800k floppies from Mk.558's recent rescue lot. If anyone's interested, put a post here.

Browsing through a 1987 rev. Mac Plus user's manual, I find the following on page 177 in the section on peripherals for your Plus. Things to note: 1) It's an '87 manual from after the switch to platinum Pluses. Everything in the picture is clearly platinum. 2) The text mentions the "Apple...

I'm sure you've all had them. Let's hear about them. Big and small. This is quite small, but it was disappointing all the same. I was going to snipe a G3 PowerBook floppy drive module at the last second this morning (bid was $2.24), but I went to help my son find his belt and got back about 20...

Price differences and the inclusion of extra software in one of the auctions aside, does anyone know the difference between this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/270971555417?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649#ht_1351wt_1227 and this...

It's only a partial rescue, but it's my first one, so here it is. My wife and I had an eMac in the first years of our marriage, and about five years or so ago, the screen started acting funny. I put it in storage, thinking someday I might fix it. At some point my wife decided it was time to say...

Okay, so I'm getting ready to crack open my first Mac. I've gotten a hold of a genuinely bashed up Mac Plus that despite a heavily fractured case still bongs and boots. Because of its condition, I'm not afraid of screwing up a good machine, and I want to part it out—or, really, dissect it for...

I have recently come into possession of working copies of MacTerminal and ThunderScan. Since both of these are essentially hardware drivers, and one of them was I believe shipped with some Macs, I don't believe it's out of place for me to post here that I will be making images of both available...

For a Mac Plus with a Sad Mac code 0177A, there's no fix but a logic board swap, correct?

So, I've got me some odd symptoms. SE with 20 mb internal and 1mb RAM. About two weeks ago some random errors started turning up on the hard disk. Several files and the hard disk itself were renamed on click to some variation of "----------" and several files became corrupted and unusable. I...
