maclover5 LC Doctor/Hot Rodder Australia 5830 Posts	Posted - 09 Nov 2001 : 00:39:51 My 2 Compact Macs are my Classic II 10/40 and my 128k which has been upgraded to a 512ke with 800k floppy drives (one internal, one external) but still somehow manages to have the original logic board. As it turns out, on mine the RAM chips are socketed. Should i feel special? Pizzabox LCs RULE!!!!!!! Warrior maclover5 68k Macintosh Liberation Army Number of 68ks Liberated: 5

Marchie Chaplain USA 911 Posts	Posted - 10 Nov 2001 : 08:40:11 HMM.. Claccis Macs your Moderzator owns... My ORIGINAL Mac was an SE SuperDrive, which was eventually upgraded with an 80 MB HD and 4MB RAM, it's around here somewhere, and it's actually my dads. It's being upgraded again with a 250 MB HD, internal CD (maybe), 16MHz processor card w/ FPU, and Ethernet Card. as for the ones I own: Classic 2 SE 800k 3x SE/30's, but they don't all work. I think I'll be able to get 2 working ones out of this, and turn the third into a MacQuarium of some description. I would LOVE a Colour Classic or Colour Classic II. Compact Macs are great. I even have a Compact Mac carrying case :-) ~Marchie ~~"We are all Mad here."~~
~Coxy Leader, Tactical Ops Unit Australia 2822 Posts	Posted - 11 Nov 2001 : 04:55:39 That SuperDrive thing really bugs me. Next thing we'll have novices saying "Does your SE burn DVDs?

Tallgeese Full Member USA 523 Posts	Posted - 14 Nov 2001 : 22:30:30 Even better... "My G3 has a SuperDrive, a SuperDrive, and a SuperDrive!" hehehe... I can imagine the confusion that that would cause someone. (note: I do not have such a machine) Sgt. Tallgeese Apple II Squad Leader 68k Mac Liberation Army 68k Macs Liberated: 3

Of course, if I could find one of the SE/30 Ethernet cards to put in her, it'd be even nicer... :) (That, and if I can fix the screen and cure her of her case of "sweep-itis!")

Some of the more "elite" (mac Snobs?) make a distinction between some of the floppy drives like this: the Auto Inject high density drives the SE's had are SuperDrives, but the Manual Inject (ie the drives you have to stick your finger into to get the floppy in, that usually have a depression in the case so you can do it) are NOT SuperDrives. I however think this is a superflous distinction. For the record tho, I have an SE with 3 SuperDrives: 2 internal, and one external that I shoved in an external 800k floppies caseing. :-) Duplicating Floppies was never easier, and it's possible to play Where in America is Carmen Sandiego without changeing the floppy every 5 minutes. ~Marchie ~~"We are all Mad here."~~
~Coxy Leader, Tactical Ops Unit Australia 2822 Posts	Posted - 18 Nov 2001 : 04:39:01 Well, I just got a Classic to complement my Color Classic. It even has an internal HD, but no internal ROM disk... ~Coxy - Leader, Tactical Operations Unit 68k Macintosh Liberation Army (now with forums!) 00013 Macs liberated.
