cinemafia Guerrilla Recon Leader USA 2965 Posts	Posted - 14 Jan 2002 : 19:57:05 I was driving through Burbank this eveing on some business and decided to stop in a Thrift store I'd never been in on a whim. Inside, i found a bevy of 68k sweetness! If you want to read the whole inventory, check out the thread in the Lounge. Anyway, I bought myself a Quadra 840 A/V for $14 out the door! I have 4 32MB 72-pin SIMMs in a 7100 that appears to have a bad Mobo, as well as a 2.1GB 7,200 RPM drive that I'm going to drop in it quicker than you can say "fastest 68k mac ever!". MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! 666th poster to the 68K Macintosh Liberation Army Forums Mod of the Mac II series Forums Total 68K Macs liberated: 6 Visit my site!
cinemafia Guerrilla Recon Leader USA 2965 Posts	Posted - 14 Jan 2002 : 20:15:30 Quick update, I booted it up as-is and it's running a bare install of OS 8.0 with 32MB of physical RAM (between 3 SIMMs, so obviously one is 16MB and two are 8MB) and a 230MB HDD. The 2x caddy-loaded CD-ROM is fully functional, too. Bitchin'! I set it to 16k color and got my MacCube 7-CD set out of the software bin and started playing PowerBall and Marathon...wow, this thing kicks my IIfx and my IIci's arses! 666th poster to the 68K Macintosh Liberation Army Forums Mod of the Mac II series Forums Total 68K Macs liberated: 6 Visit my site!

cinemafia Guerrilla Recon Leader USA 2965 Posts	Posted - 15 Jan 2002 : 08:55:58 Burbank is the absolute best place to find stuff in thrift shops, because there's so many film and tv houses here. They dump all their old hardware on the local shops and get a tidy tax write off to boot. 666th poster to the 68K Macintosh Liberation Army Forums Mod of the Mac II series Forums Total 68K Macs liberated: 6 Visit my site!

cinemafia Guerrilla Recon Leader USA 2965 Posts	Posted - 15 Jan 2002 : 10:58:32 The Raw 040 has spolit me...! I'm abandoning my project IIfx (for the moment) and usign the FWB JackHammer in the 840 instead. Wow, I didn't realize how many drives you could dump in this thing! I already have a 2.1GB and a 4.2GB in it (both 7,200 RPM), and now I'm thinking of putting a 4x caddy-loaded CD-R instead of the 4x CD-ROM and a 1GB Jaz drive instead of the floppy. Hmm, now I just need a 24MHz oscillator... 666th poster to the 68K Macintosh Liberation Army Forums Mod of the Mac II series Forums Total 68K Macs liberated: 6 Visit my site!

cinemafia Guerrilla Recon Leader USA 2965 Posts	Posted - 15 Jan 2002 : 12:47:46 The Workgroup Server 95 (or WGS95) is basically a Quadra 950 running A/UX that has a PDS SCSI/cache card and room for enough drives to bury a small dog. 666th poster to the 68K Macintosh Liberation Army Forums Mod of the Mac II series Forums Total 68K Macs liberated: 6 Visit my site!

Steve might hear and make engineering redesign for a sleeker look if he thinks there's room to install something in an apple box. be careful! jt btw: Q950 images surfaced amongst the flotsam, but trying to decode the acronym induced too much wave activity in the ol' wetware (vaguely humanoid CPU of indeterminate architecture).

You could get the special "five-drive" bracket thingie and mount (you guessed it) five hard drives inside of the computer. Very very cool.
