If any of you live near Pasadena California I can get you a 7100 or your choice of many different monitors.
Caltech is throwing away a half dozen 7100's and about 15 monitors as well as a heap of old windoze boxes.
If you want something, act fast, these things are being stored in the hallway of a sub-basement right now, but they're marked for the trash and could be taken away at any time.

I'd prefer to come and look at all the goodness myself, but I'll email you and we can work out the details...

Sorry Trash I wouldn't know what an AGP equipt PC looked like even if I opened it up. I've never even owned or opened a mac with an AGP slot. I'm still living in the 6100 era. Maybe if cinemafia comes down here he can spot one for ya.

You guys didn't scare me off, I just got busy taking/teaching classes and flying back and forth across the country.

Man! What a haul! Good job guys! Did you see or check out that printer that was mentioned?

Oh yeah, the printer was an Apple LaserWriter, the original model. It was yellowed beyond belief, and both the toner cartridge and the paper cartridge were missing. Plus, it wouldn't have fit in my car with all the other stuff.

Also, I haven't had a chance to test/use anything, but I opened up the Quadra 660av and there's a felt-like blanket of dust inside it...I can't believe how much has accumulated in it's guts!

I really can't wait to try out the 1710av, I've always wanted one of those monitors! It had a piece of tape on it that said it was dim, so I'm hoping it's not too bad, as I'd really love to have my 7500 with a 1280x1024 display.

I'm also excited about the Radius Pivot, if it works, too! 624x832 or 832x624! Kick arse!

Hopefully I'll get to test some of the gear tonight.

P.P.P.S. - JT: There was nothing even within 10 years of the introduction of AGP as far as the PC boxes went. Most of them were 1990-era Compaq Deskpro's or huge and empty server boxes that were in worse shape then the macs. I considered taking some home for hacking, but they were just so ugly and grungy I couldn't bear the thought.

Also, the Quadra 660av is dead. Will not power on at all. Either the PSU or the mobo (or both) are fried. If the mobo is good, I'll most likely yank the full '040 out of it for my LC 475, and the case and other components (CD-ROM, HDD, floppy) will be up for trade (I'll be posting a new thread with all the stuff I have available soon).

I tested the two Quantum Fireball hard drives that were yanked out of the 7100's we trashed, one turned out to be a working 1.19GB, the other a dead 2.2GB. The 2GB was trashed and the 1.19GB will probably be used in my ColorClassic...or something. I haven't gotten around to testing anything else, but I really am hoping that the RadiusPivot works or I'll be pissed!

Bad news, comrades. The 1710av that I was salivating over is dead, it will not power on at all. Most likely the PSU inside it is fried, and I'm not about to do a transplant. I may try hacking the big speakers off it to use in some Frankenstein hack, but the CRT and the rest is going in the dumpster.

-Performa 636

-Power Mac 7100/80 with 2GB drive, HPV card, ethernet card

-Apple Multiscan 15" AV monitor

-SCSI cables, power cables, and an Apple keyboard

-the guts of a 7100 for spare parts incase the one I got dies

-appoximately 100 years worth of dust. When I opened the 7100 it looked like the inside of a vaccuum cleaner bag.

I'm typing this on the 7100, although I have a peculiar problem with the power supply not working unless I tilt the 7100 at a 15 degree angle or better. I've opened the case and checked all the connections, I think the problem must be inside the power supply itself. Anyone seen this sort of thing before?

P.S. - I tested the Radius Color Pivot over the weekend and it's definitely dead, too. It does power on, but just makes some clicking noises, no display. I put it in the dumspter, as I can't imagine it having any fixable parts.

Wait, the 1710av has to have an ADB signal going to it to work? I connected it to my 7500, but I never connected the ADB to it/used the ADB pass-through. I thought that was optional. I'll try that tonight (lucky I didn't actually throw it away yet!), but still, would that cause it to not turn on at all?

Yeah, I know. I'm at a loss, though. If it's still in the dumpster when i get home I might take it out.

sounds to to me like it's badly in need of some clear bezel replacement parts and a powerbook guts/LCD transplant!

The monitor had a piece of tape on it when I picked up that said it was dim, and they weren't lying. Even with the contrast and brightness all the way up, it looks a little bluish, and as if through a screen dimmer. It also has a very slight orange ghosting that trails off directly to the right on certain bright images. I can probably live with it, though, especially since now I have a 1280x1024 desktop for my 7500 (and it was FREE!).

Or, I'm thinking there may be a way to trick it through ColorSync, too.
