Some of you may have already seen this, but apparently some guy has a one of a kind tempest Mac that is different from the tempest Macs on Applefritter, in that it was actually made by Apple.http://www.wired.com/news/mac/0,2125,51670,00.html AnubisTTP 68k Macintosh Liberation Army Macs Liberated:15 |

Wow...can you imagine getting that for $5! The ultimate Anti-SpyMac!!! I'd put a new SE/30 Mobo in, along with 128MB of RAM and swap the Bernoulli box for a 2GB Jaz drive.  666th poster and 666th thread-creator Mod of the Mac II series Forums Total 68K Macs liberated: 7 Regular Disappear! |

This brings up an interesting point, atleast to me. How "durable" are our 68k's as they are? I know no one wants to fry their beloved quadra, but just wondering if anyone has specs, both from EM interference as well as physical stress.

I'd love to hack an SE or an SE/30 to look something like the Tempest! It'd be really cool to do this to a Color Classic, but I don't have any of those anymore. I've also been keeping my eyes out for a cool-looking old luggable PC case (something like the early Compaq cases) to convert into a heavy-duty PortaMac. Anyone else done this? I should go check Applefritter... Sometimes I have the best ideas for a hack, and then see that someone did it three years ago..... grrrr....  PS Anyone out there have one of those old Mac-compatible bernoulli drives? Do they work well? Well enough to store super-secret CIA info, I'd assume! SpaceBoyAppleBASIC FOREVER!
