Gotcha Starting Member USA 17 Posts	Posted - 06 Apr 2003 : 17:43:28 What I found today: 1 Macintosh monitor about 13 inches - listed $25.00 1 Macintosh SE - listed $10.00 1 AppleCD 150 - listed $5.00 1 AppleCD 300e Plus - listed $5.00 1 game - unlisted Total price $45.00 I bargained down to $35.00 There were also numerous laser/inkjet/dot matrix printers (5 stylewriter 2's) in all shapes in sizes from $10.00 to $40.00, but I passed due to my current lack of space.

Going to set it up with a Zip drive and use it to play the dozens of old games from the mid-80s. Otaku, part-time Liberated Macs: 6 In progress: 10 "Mechanic: Somebody set up us the bomb."

tachyon Starting Member Australia 29 Posts	Posted - 08 May 2003 : 17:45:18 Bad News. The Macs, esp. compact ones in working order, are a lot easier to find than the Stylewriters or other serial printers. One day there will be heaps of Macs around but all the printers will have either expired or (shudder to think) been thrown away in perfect working order. Always rescue the printers too. There are three Stylewriter models on my top shelf (two 1500s and a color 2500 I think) just waiting for someone to invest in costly ink cartridges. Meanwhile all the 68k owners that I have donated my liberations to are desperate for free serial printers.
Unknown_K Full Member USA 602 Posts	Posted - 08 May 2003 : 18:35:24 Its cheaper to invest in 1 good mac compatible laser then bother with the older ink jets. Most people here have a dozen mac 68k's but maybe 1 printer networked to them. I have 4 macs and 1 laser (4/600 PS) and 8 PC's with 2 lasers (Epson actionlaser 1500 5mb ram, and a NEC 870 18mb ram)
tachyon Starting Member Australia 29 Posts	Posted - 08 May 2003 : 19:25:40 I agree in part. What about the Color issue? I suppose no problem with a black&white Mac... but LCs and Color StyleWriters go hand-in-hand. ~~ Master 68k liberator. Too many to list. Personal collection includes SE, Classic, Classic II, IIsi (w/NetBSD) IIvx, LC, LCIII, 2x LC475, Quadra950 (with PPC card) Centris 610, PB145,PB520,PB190 In progress: Performa580 (& some PowerMacs)

Unknown_K Full Member USA 602 Posts	Posted - 08 May 2003 : 21:26:46 I have a canon bjc-5000 (11x17 color inkjet), think the fuse is blown on the power supply. had this thing forver but didnt do many color prints on it, just never had the need. It was usefull for 11x17 cad drawings which is what I initially got it for 911x17 laser were real expensive at the time).
cory5412 68KMLA Comrade-in-Arms USA 4679 Posts	Posted - 09 May 2003 : 05:56:14 yeah... these days with every other laser and it's older brother having that special ability to do 11x17... I've wanted that Apple 11X17 printer for awhile... :drools: DTP on a Mac IIci with the portrait display and a 11X17 printer....

emaq123 Junior Member USA 258 Posts	Posted - 09 May 2003 : 07:21:08 So who knows which apple inkjets tend to be reliable with cheap ink available? For me it is much cheaper to get a laser then to mess with inkjets. Color, in general, is overated. emaq123 SE/30 and system 6.0.8 Now we're talking POWER!

Brett B. Junior Member USA 105 Posts	Posted - 10 May 2003 : 23:03:58 speaking of printers.. how do you share laserwriters over ethernet? (like the IINT, which has no enet port)

(like the IINT, which has no enet port) There are three options: 1) Apple Printer Share: this will let you share a serial, USB, or SCSI printer that is connected to a Mac that is also connected to the network. This Mac must be on anytime you need to print. 2) Software ethernet-to-localtalk bridge: Use a Mac with software such as IPNetRouter or Apple's LocalTalk Bridge 2.1. This converts a Mac that has both a localtalk ports (printer or modem port) and an ethernet connection into a router that bridges ethernet and localtalk. This Mac must be on anytime you need to connect across the two networks. 3) Hardware ethernet-to-localtalk bridge: Use a little bridge box, like a Farallon's iPrint, to connect the two networks together. (This is what I use and it works extremely well) Option 1 is the easiest, cheapest, but least functional. Options 2 and 3 both will let you share files between newer ethernet macs and older localtalk-only Macs. This makes it very easy to upload files into older 68k macs and make backups of these machiens. Option 2 is the hardest, but may work well if you setup one Mac as the network bridge and file server so that that Mac would be on all the time anyway. Option 3 is very easy, but you need to buy/find the bridge box. Happy Printing!

maclover5 LC Doctor/Hot Rodder Australia 5830 Posts	Posted - 11 May 2003 : 05:20:12 Yeah, but a spare Mac is a LOT easier to find. Plus, it keeps more unwanted Macs out of the trash, which is always a good thing. -------------------------- Give your dreams a chance.� - Apple in the mid '90s Warrior maclover5 68k Macintosh Liberation Army Number of 68ks Liberated: 7 Number of Contraband (PPC) Liberated from the Dumpster: 1
