That's how my old 475 was. Except that it came with the later lid and floppy. I wound up taking the lid and floppy from an LC I had at the same time, then combined the two, so mine said Macintosh LC Performa 475.

Yeah, it's a typo. The 410 was essentially another variant of the LC II. Supposedly was the Performa 400 variant, but with a 12" monitor bundled with it. The 430 was a 405 with a 127MB Quantum drive instead of the 80MB Quantum supplied with the other machines.

I mainly used it with 10.6.8 and newer, hooked up to my old A1186 Mac Pro, and my A1286 MBPs. Never tried it with a G3 or G4 Mac. Might be worth trying to use it with another Mac, running a newer OS, then connect to it using your 10.4.x Mac.

Most printers will work. Until recently, I had a LaserJet P1006 that I used under 10.6.8 through 10.13.6. Worked fine. Stopped using it because we have an OfficeJet that has wi-fi built-in, so no need for a print server. Also have used various Epson printers without issues.

Got a IIvx, Centris/Quadra 650, or Power Mac 7100 power supply lying around? Could try one of those with the cx board. The last few IIci machines I've owned have received one of those, replacing the original GE or Astec unit with the removable fan module. A little newer, and slightly more...

Think he's talking about the Apple M1298. The Dell monitors are dirt cheap. The 24" version I picked up for my Mac Pro was only $10, plus tax. Came with box, packing material, all cables, and the driver CD for Windows.

Most likely. An AI-driven Billy Mays bot.

Hehe, a bit cluttered, but nothing like my sister's iMac, which literally is a wall of icons.

No worries. 👍🏻 The A1289, hiding behind the $10 Dell 24" UltraSharp monitor.

Ah, the A1186? Mine was almost identically equipped. Came with the HD 5770 video card installed. I did have to add an Airport Extreme card to it for Wi-Fi (have to do that on the A1289 as well). Had 6GB of RAM with, originally, my A1181's 160GB drive, then I installed a 500GB drive, ran that...

Picking up the A1289 later today. Have an ATI Radeon HD 5870 video card coming in the mail. Now need to hunt down a Dell UltraSharp monitor that works with both the G4 and the MP.

Interesting read...

Agreed. Had that early 2008 8-core 2.8 GHz A1186 for a long time. Was my daily driver until I moved the Radeon HD 5770 video card up a slot and somehow caused the heatsink for the PCI bus chip to come loose. Became rather unstable at the time. Switched to the mid-2010 A1286 I owned at the...

There is one for $100 on offerup right now. Just the machine itself, of course. It's in Tacoma. Seller says it needs a hard drive. I probably will have a spare SATA 3.5" drive available. Sent you a DM with the link.

Conquesting an A1289 Mac Pro, finally. Picking that up on Saturday.

lol, yep. Was wondering if you'd notice...

TextEdit is close enough to SimpleText... I'd like to see the ability to customize the OS return. Seems like, as OS X got older, Apple removed the ability to do such. As an example, there used to be the CandyBar app. Used that to hack in the classic rainbow Apple menu icon on 10.4.11. Also...

That's cool... Means that if my Apeiron install somehow gets nuked, including the preferences, I won't have to try to remember the serial I got from Ambrosia back in 1998.

If I remember correctly, the Laser UDC can also control it. Had one of those in my last //e, controlling an A9M0106 drive. Photo from almost 13 years ago.

The RAMWorks cards are used as memory expansion under AppleWorks (machine is still limited to 128KB with other applications), but also offer the 80 column text mode, as well as the option of doing RGB color.
