Something about the numpad screams "photoshop" to me... my eyes want to believe, but my brain says "something's wonky"...

Thanks, everybody! Right now it's sitting in my living room because I'm having my basement renovated later this spring. Once it's done, that's where the collection will go and finally properly be displayed :) @Byrd - My experience with Linux of any kind could probably fit into one of the...

Well, it's been a minute, but I wanted to share my latest. SUPER happy about this one, as it's been a "holy grail" item of mine for well over 20 years. Apple Network Server 700 200mhz CPU card upgrade (original 150mhz card included) 80mb RAM 4gb SCSI HDD 24x CD-ROM The condition is...

Nice, galgot - thanks!  I think the latest released version of Timbuktu for Mac was 8.8.5... they had announced they were working on version 9 but then they killed the entire thing.  So the latest version would connect to pretty much all of my vintage Macs except the ones running 7.1... I don't...

I'm sorry, this is the "hacks & development" forum. People interpret that as "you're free to talk about hacks & development here." Maybe you should rename the forum the "non-specific hacks & development forum." Aside from that, "building a hackintosh" is not the same as loading an...

I'll see if I can find it when I get home... I have a pile of those suckers and I'm pretty sure I haven't written over it... :) And that 210 card should work just fine.

Charles - my Mac Pro 1,1 is running Mavericks perfectly. You have to install it with a bootloader-type setup (I used SFOTT) but it works great and it's not difficult to do at all. SFOTT creates the install disc (or thumbdrive) for you once you set it up for your machine. Has detailed...

I hadn't heard about that. I never store keychain passwords or login info for any accounts having to do with the transfer of money. Just to be safe, I just changed all my passwords for each computer on my TeamViewer list, and disabled auto-logins, so each login attempt will ask for the...

Runaway vacuum tube on the rug!   :)

As in, data pipe... heh, get it? :) ..........ahem. I'm looking for a way to remotely control my 68k Macs from my El Capitan & Mavericks Macs.  I've read that the last version of Timbuktu for Mac works back to 4.x, whichever version worked with OS 8.6 and above. I can't seem to find any...

He had a picture of it, and it looked a little dirty, but I didn't see any massive scratches, cracks or dings. He said it works. I'm assuming it hasn't been recapped, and that it it will probably need that done. 

Finding vintage Macs for sale in the central Ohio area is like finding a diamond in the Sahara these days -- so you can imagine my reaction when a guy placed a local ad for an SE/30 - for $50. Hopefully going to pick it up some evening this week or this weekend...

My daily driver is still a 2006 Mac Pro 1,1. They're built extremely well. I've swapped out the stock CPUs with 3ghz quad-core X5365s and it's running a GeForce GTX 570 card. 120gb SSD boot drive and a 1tb storage drive, with a 2tb RAID to host backups for all Macs on my network.  I used to...

Yes it's the Apple branded card. They had two "AV" cards - the AV card and the HPV card. This is the one with the DB-15, S-video-in and S-video-out ports. And yes, you have to slide the motherboard carrier all the way out to get the battery out. :) Lots of screws to remove, but it's nowhere...

Well apparently the AV card isn't working. It's plugged into the PDS slot, but no monitor will show a picture when attached. I've tried an LCD with a DB-15 to VGA adapter, and an Apple 12" RGB display. My Apple 13" RGB display works fine on the motherboard port, but not on the AV card.

Well the RAM works fine -- however I can't get a monitor to work on the AV card. Onboard video works, but it's like the machine doesn't see the AV card at all. I thought it might work for a 2nd display, but no such luck. There is a connector on the AV card, but there's nothing plugged into it...

Thanks guys, I'll give it a shot. There are already a pair of 32mb FPM SIMMs in there, but I've got 2 more pairs of 16bm EDO that I'm going to test.  Trash80 - your post was the first one I checked when I was having my front faceplate problem. :)  I had forgotten just how well-built this...

Here's another question - can you combine FPM and EDO in the first-gen Power Macs? Or any Macs, for that matter?  I have some 72-pin EDO simms sitting around and am contemplating putting some of the larger ones into the Radius. I know FPM and EDO are closely related, and I've used both in other...

Aaaaand never mind... LOL.  I applied just a smidgen more pressure and it popped right off.  SO well-built, these cases. The plastic is entirely superficial, as it should be. The metal parts are what holds these cases together. 

So I finally drug my old 81/110 out of the storage room yesterday. I forgot just how well-built these cases were. It's a friggin' tank. I know I've done it before, but I cannot for the life of me remember how the front faceplate comes off. The plastics are strong, but I don't want to test them...
