As of a few days ago. L-R: PowerMac G4 DA 466 512/120G config shown running 9.2.2; Quadra 950 136/2.1G/CD (runs 7.5, but not on, since, it shares the monitor and input devices with the IIfx); IIfx 8/500 shown running 7.6.1; Late 2011 MBP 2.4GHz 16G/1T, running 10.9.5. IIci, Q650, and SE are in...

Chris, Nice scores. Might as well go for it... Added the Q950 to the pile of Macs on and around my desk.

Have a couple of machines from the AppleFool site now. An SE dual FDHD, and a IIfx. SE came to me as a 1/52 configuration. Now a 4/160, like the SE SuperDrive I owned last year and early this year. IIfx was an 8/160 configuration. Now has a 500MB drive, and has matching FDHD drives...

Welcome to the asylum. Re: your MDD, I would consider updating OS X Tiger to 10.4.11. I'm pretty sure the Macintosh Garden has the Combo Updater file posted for download. If the PRAM battery is still original, even though it may be working, it's probably a good idea to go ahead and either buy...

Not a problem. Glad I could help identify the machine... As a comparison, here's an SE...

It's a 30... The character line where the floppy drive extends to the sides of the bezel, like the same character line on a IIci.

Met up with @AppaloosaMac from the 68kMLA forums in Wenatchee today. Took home these items: IIgs Woz Limited Edition machine that's donating its case to my current IIgs's guts A M1298 16" monitor Three Centris/Quadra 650 machines in various stages of repair A Quadra 950 that just needs a CD-ROM...

Something pretty simple. 1981-85 Volvo 240 Turbo cockpit...

Hmmm, that's weird. Usually, it's the drives that have this issue. Maybe the power suppy is a little weak, causing the drive to spin, but not read or write? If you hit control-reset, does the drive stop spinning? Also, do you hear the usual head chatter when it starts up?

Use a small knife and work around the edges, taking care not to damage the plastic. Pry up on it, and it'll pop out. Done it a couple times, when I've upgraded Centris 650 machines to Quadra 650 logic boards.

Sounds a lot like what user c00gr on the 68kMLA is experiencing with his LCIII... https://68kmla.org/bb/index.php?threads/performa-450-restore-no-chime.45028/

Or, in my case, old film cameras...

A couple MDD G4 machines for $50. A dual 1.25GHz FW400 machine and a single 1GHz FW800 machine. Gave the second one to James1095 over on the other forums. Kept the older one, since it runs OS 9 without needing the macos9lives patches added to the installation. It also had a Radeon 9000 Pro...

It should boot with 8MB of RAM. After all, 7.5 will boot on a Mac Plus with 4MB. The Nubus 601 machines do need four SIMMs, if RAM is added to the what's on the board, unlike the '030 and '040 machines, which can work with one 72-pin SIMM slot populated. Re: the no startup issues, I think...

@herd over at the other forum has a lot of information about the various G4 cards, as well as ones he's offering up as upgrades for those of us who want something faster.

A working late 2011 A1286 MBP... Needed something that had working audio and wasn't flipping out all the time, like the mid-2010 machine was. Already seems more stable, even though it's running the same hard drive that the mid-2010 machine had in it.

I'd be tempted to make shelves that could be extended out, then lifted up to a comfortable working height, or lowered to a comfortable height, that way, they could all be in their shelving unit spots, but useable without having to disconnect the power cord, etc, and move whichever machine you...

Think you might mean 7100... The 7200 uses a power supply with a harness, if I remember correctly. Yeah, the part number corresponds to a Centris 650 power supply, so that would've come from a 7100, not a 7200. So, you can just install it into your IIci. With respect to the monitor, I don't...

My IIci has a power supply from a Centris 650 installed. Works perfectly. Slightly higher wattage, since the 650 usually came with a CD-ROM drive installed.

Another option, if an internal floppy drive is a must and you don't want to use a virtual machine on a modern computer (like DOSBox), is one of the older D-series Latitude laptops made by Dell. The optical drive can be swapped with an internal floppy drive. Same with some of the earlier...
