IMG_3980.jpg
Hi from NYC. I just picked up a Quadra 700 and am looking to build some things with Think C.
After one year of being dead due to a bad analog board and putting a good working replacement analog board and a good PSU my 800k Macintosh SE is alive once again
Hi Tinkerers, I'm new here and I like messing with old macs. Some of the machines I have are, 2004 G4 Powerbook, 2005 G4 Mac Mini, 2 of 2012 Macbook Pros, 2019 Macbook Pro, 2007 iMac Core Duo, 2013 8 core Mac Pro, 2 of 30 inch Apple Cinema Displays, 23 inch ACD, 20 inch ACD. Plus also 2 modern displays and a powerful Hackintosh. Also a brand new in the box 2006 1,1 Intel Mac Mini, which may I add that I paid to much for.

Sorry for the long rant.
Gave my Mac SE SuperDrive a nice BlueSCSI upgrade and so far it's fantastic and I'm loving it so far

The original 40mb Quantum ProDrive still works and thankfully I have backed it up alongside with that 160mb Conner drive that stopped working sadly
