All for the price of shipping, 10 bucks, i have managed to get the following stuff:1 Quadra 700 - works fine, my first NuBus Mac!!!!! 250 meg HD, 20 megs of RAM, running Mac OS 8.1, but it has a dead floppy. 1 40 meg SCSI HD - untested 1 80 meg SCSI HD - untested 1 40 meg IDE HD - works fine 1 PlainTalk mic (finally!) - works fine 2 ADB mice - untested Unfortunately, seeing as though we're mvoing, all my Macs are going into storage for a while, so i wont' get much of a chance to use it for a while.

Congrats on your nu old NuBus Mac. Sorry to hear that your collection will be confined to barracks. I do hope they let you keep at least one Mac on the active duty roster, though. G4From128k

Thats what i'm thinking, too. Most likely it'll be the 1400, due to its size. -------------------------- Give your dreams a chance.™ - Apple in the mid '90s Warrior maclover5 68k Macintosh Liberation Army Number of 68ks Liberated: 7

Ooo! Nice. If you're going to take the PlainTalk mic apart to clean, the screw is under the foam pad on the bottom. I broke one once by prying it apart Have fun!

I know. There's a how-to in a issue of MacAddict that tells you how to turn it into a pre-amp for a non-Apple mic, and it goes through how to take it apart and stuff. -------------------------- Give your dreams a chance.™ - Apple in the mid '90s Warrior maclover5 68k Macintosh Liberation Army Number of 68ks Liberated: 7

If you need a floppy for the Quadra, let me know. I have one from a beige G3 that I think should work fine in there...and since it's running straight OS X, the floppy is useless and pointless.-Chad My Preciouses: Mystic CC (36/500/enet) 2x SE/30s (16/80 & 32/230) Classic II (10/70) Plus w/ HD20 (1/20) Beige G3 MT (512/4000) PM 7300/180 (330/4300) |

People have written SWIM drivers for the beige G3 running X, you know. The floppy disk drive in my G3 is dead anyway, so I haven't tried it.~Coxy - Leader, Tactical Operations Unit Mayor of NuBus City v3.0

Man, I could use a motherboard from a beige G3. Not enough money, though.

Cool. I always hated that funky phono plug. Apple didn't properly deflux the circuit board in there, either. I love the way it looks on top of the monitor, though! |
