Conroe Mac Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 I have a black and white Mac Classic in my basement. I had a Starmax 603e clone, but I tossed it. I think there's an Apple IIe down there somewhere. I have the receipt for it ($3000). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ai Haibara Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 I have an iBook Clamshell of 1999 with 6GB hard drive and 320 MB of main memory. I want to sell it to my sister and buy a new macbook in about 3 weeks. Oh, I've also an old Macintosh Quadra 840AV, but I haven't a video adaptor.

vince29 Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 I really like the look of the clamshell ibook. If your sister doesn't want it, I might be interested Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beldar Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 The only Mac that I have. Its an iBook G3 500MHZ, 256MB, 10GB, Combo Drive. Its my second Apple computer, but the first Apple computer ive had that runs OSX. It currently has OSX 10.3.9. Before it, I had an iBook G4, 933MHZ, 640MB, 40GB, Combo Drive. I traded some PC for it, the iBook had a bad hard drive. So took it home, took a 40gig I had laying around, and put it in there. Solved, it worked, but no OSX, and no money. So I put Linux on it. Then the combo drive ate a CD, reset the PRAM to get it out, and messed up the operating system. Then realized the combo drived was done. Since I really got it for free, I traded it for the iBook G3. The guy says the G4 has more issues than the combo drive, but he is looking foward to fixing it, and I am happy I now have a Mac to play with. A couple years ago, I got rid of my IBM XT that my uncle gave to me. Now i'm deciding... I can save up money and buy a used Powerbook G4, at least 1GHZ. Or I can save up money and buy a cheaper widescreen laptop and throw OSX86 on it. It would just have to be something thats fully compatable and would do everything that OSX on the Powerbook can do(photoshop, garageband, that kind of {censored}). Hey de-rail, do you still have the Mac Plus? Id like a nice Micro ITX project for OSX86. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gs191 Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 oh geez, i used to have an old Performa 6200CD running a PowerPC 603e@75 Mhz, 8 MB of RAM, 1 MB of VRAM, 1GB HD, 8X CD-ROM, 15in CRT. All I got running on was System 7.5.5. on its final days after it kept giving me that stupid Logic Board crash and the Bomb. (does anybody remember the bomb). I should have grabbed one of those processor upgrade boards (if i could find one), maxed out the ram and made it a server but its probably being used for scraped parts now. Should have saved the cds though. Now where is that old copy of system 7.5.3.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aphex Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 I have a Color Classic and a G3 333 iMac running OS X 10.2.8 and OS 9.2.2. I'm frustrated right now though - the mac won't boot from CD-Rs (no problem reading them in OS X) so I can't install Panther. I need to find some original Panther CDs.

Rhapsody Guru Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 Hee hee. I had a Macintosh SE/30 for two weeks. The motherboard on it failed and I had to send it to the dumpster. I did salvage any of the guts of the computer such as the puny 40 MB harddisk. Guru Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

koolaidman23 Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 I grew up using an Apple IIe. Good memories. In the early 90's I bought an LC secondhand... not the best introduction to the Macintosh, but at least I learned a lot. The day I upgraded from 2 mb to 4 mb of ram..... oh man that was the day. I was finally able to play Civilization on the whole screen!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AriX Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 WOW That's all I can say... A few years ago I used to have an old Quadra 605, running System 7.something, but somehow it accidentally got donated to charity when I was cleaning old stuff (Got put in the wrong box...) I wish I still had it... Now I've got my MacBook, and my PC, and I'm very interested in Classic and A/UX emulation, so I use SheepShaver and Basilisk II and Mini vMac. I haven't had any luck with A/UX yet though... I may want to try it in SheepShaver (does it run on PPC?) I already tried the other two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
