My most prized collectable, macintosh 128k original with original apple 10 meg serial hard drive, and mouse ball with number pad. Only thing i replaced is the two rifa’s on analog board. Have three 128k, one has been upgraded to a plus, but am currently turning it back into a 512k.
It’s in good condition despite a scratch on the screen. Just wondering if it’s worth buying for $49.99.
Found a beige all-in-one Mac dead on the side of the road 10+ years ago and scrapped it. But I kept the logic board, CD drive and 160MB SCSI hard drive for poops and giggles. It’s got a 68030.
But for the life of me I can’t remember which computer it’s out of. Thoughts?
Most beautiful chime ever
This is a picture from when I just got it and cleaned it and it’s one of my best pictures of the thing
I just found this Airport Base Station at a thrift store, I tried to find the power adapter there but they didn’t have one. I’m hoping to find somewhere to get a replacement
Funny how things work out in the vintage computer world. I mentioned on this sub that I had my eye out for an Apple III, and the next thing I knew, I have one—and a very fine example at that. 256K, works perfectly, 9.5/10 condition.
So two projects await me: first, get my FloppyEMU connected to it. Second, and more complicated, is getting the RGB output connected to something modern. Anyone have a lead on an Apple III to SCART or VGA cable? I have an Open Source Scan Converter, so I’m pretty confident that if I can get or make a cable, I can get this thing connected to a modern display.
just got this vintage apple powerbook duo 230 from a vintage computer festival. battery doesn’t hold charge, but works “perfectly,” when plugged in. but when i turned it on a day after getting it (after turning it on multiple times before this with no issue), it displayed a red screen. i then realized the bottom back (behind the battery) was getting very hot and when i unplugged it, it was smoking. my friends been researching and says there’s a chance it’s the adapter or a capacitor failure. any ideas on what could be wrong?
also, unrelatedly, the battery had electrical tape on it. any idea why?
I’m surprised that they were on sale in Moscow
Hiya!! I found this old imac G5 whilst walking my dogs and carried it home, it was left outside someone’s house like it had been trashed. It hadn’t been wiped and still had someone’s stuff on it. I’m unsure how to even begin wiping it and resetting it.. To top it i’m using a windows keyboard😭😭..
Ive done some research and tried some tutorials, nothing had worked so far. I did try holding down ALT whilst booting it up and the fans went crazy, scared me half to death. Hope that’s not going to cause me any issues. Any suggestions would be GREAT!!
Hi, I have a G4 mac mini and I'd like to use it with a KTC H32S17 monitor.
Can it be done? What kind of adapter do you suggest?
The monitor has 2 DP ports and 2 HDMI ports.
Thanks!
Picked two of these up on FacePlant Mktplace today and it brings me back to the good ole beige CRT computer era. Unlimited powerrrrrr!!(as long as it’s 6 or less plugs)
I used dd to clone the hdd of my ruby red iMac DV and then attached the adapter. It doesn’t show up on the Mac and it doesn’t show up in the os9 or osx installers.
Is there a know good working combo for an adapter and compact flash drive that I can get in 2026? I’d rather not do more trial and error purchases.
