You aren't in the Seattle, Washington area, are you? If so, I hope RE-PC gave you a better deal on the 650 than what it was advertised at (that is, if you wound up getting it there). I do have some RAM SIMMs that I pulled from my 7100/80 when I upgraded it to 56MB of RAM. They'll work in a...

That might be System 7 Pro, which can be considered a prototype for 7.5... The regular 7.1 is pretty quick.

No videos, but have been working on getting a 7100 up and running. Started out with a 7100/66 that I picked up early last month. This was the machine that had the capacitors that had corroded severely, yet seemed to run ok otherwise. I wound up retiring it, and picked up a 7100/80 from Ryan...

I skipped over 7.0.1. All of my machines have run at least 7.1 if I've run System 7, or have remained with System 6...

It's possible that maybe your System 7.0.1 install is somehow corrupted. If this is an SE or Classic, I'd almost leave it at System 6.0.8. If an SE/30 or Classic II, then maybe install 7.1 instead of 7.0.1. Seems like 7.1 was a little more reliable and should show the correct icons in the...

Sure, no problem. Yeah, have him check that area for cap goo. The good news is that the 74ALS240 chips are still available on the 'bay, so it is possible to replace them with new chips.

It may function, even with the battery damage. That said, it's almost guaranteed that there will be no Nubus slot usage... C16 looks to have puked its guts all over UH1, which is what interfaces the Nubus slots to the rest of the board. My old IIci's original board. Recapped it, replaced...

As long as the power requirements are the same, and the signal is compatible, I wouldn't see any reason why not. Remember, Apple did offer the monitor /// in both a greyscale version and the more common green phosphor version.

That's not terrible. Sold my Q950 for $450 last fall.

I may wind up popping in a G3 accelerator into mine, once I've a better board. After all, the IIvx is equipped with a faster 601 than the 7100 is.

Ah, the 7100/66? That's cool. Kind of a shame that Apple went away from the Wombat configuration board with the 8100 series. Looks like this machine may need either some major surgery on its board or a board swap (see my last post in the What Did You Do To Your Apple/Mac Today thread over at...

Paid $75 for it. Case looks like it was under another Mac that had a Maxell detonate, so there's some rust on the lid, plus on the rear wall of the chassis. It does power up, and did go to the bliking question mark when the seller powered it up. No PRAM battery, so that's good. Probably will...

Looks familiar... One of the machines I received in my 2012 haul. It would power on, but just show a checkerboard screen. Wound up taking another SE/30's board and swapping it in, since the machine that this board was in had a nicer bezel, etc.

This returned after a few years of being in a friend's possession. Daystar 100MHz Turbo 601. Is now inside the IIvx.

M1212 was picked up about a week or so ago. Also received a set of Newton floppies and an Amaray MediaMate 3.5" floppy storage box to go along with the one I already had. Am about to conquest a 7100/66 that looks like it might've been an upgrade "kit" for the original owner, since it has a...

@phipli Nice.

Looks rather crispy there... o_O

That does work, btw. Resurrected a 230 that was acting like the heads had crashed by swapping another drive's board to it. Also did the same with a 52MB drive that wouldn't spin up. Got it functioning properly and ready for a few more years of use.

Quadra 650 is back. Also received an LC without power supply or drives, the IIvx mentioned in my signature, a Mac 128/512 LocalTalk connection kit, and a GV GeoPort modem for PowerMacs. Picking up other M1212 later. Gave my buddy the one I'd planned to use with the IIfx, since it was easier...

About 55 floppies over the past month, from the commanderscott seller. Also picked up a M1212 monitor for the IIfx - going to use the M1298 with my Q650 instead. Picking up another either today or tomorrow for a friend who met up with mk.558 to pick up said Q650 from him after I loaned it out...
