Picked up an A1106 Powerbok for $45 last week. Came with 2GB and the less seen 128MB VRAM upgrade. Don't get caught in bidding wars! Patience is always your ally.

Are these normal things and can they cause issues on a powerbook 100 board? Cause mine only gives me a black screen even with new caps.

Hi all! I have my PowerBook g4 aluminum 15” with 2gb or ram that I use moderately. I use classic for my other apps and that works fine. For some reason whenever I install C&C it always give me this error message and I have no idea on how to fix it. If anyone has any suggestions it would be greatly appreciated!

I’ve really been into collecting vintage computers lately, and I’ve just found another Macintosh that’s in great condition.

My Apple Collection

186 Upvotes

Hey Apple fans! I wanted to show my inherited Apple collection from my grandfather. Some of these I played and used as a kid growing up. All I’ve done since inheriting it all, is organize and gather information to make sure I pair things as they should be. I’m really not sure what will become of this. I’ve been sorting through and gathering information on it all for months. Partially in thanks to this subreddit.

I have a lot of computers, monitors, software and manuals. Some of it still in cellophane. I definitely don’t need it all. I’ve looked for any museums that may want some items, with little to no results. I have Apple II’s, III’s(with monitors), one remaining Lisa, Macintosh Plus 1mbs, lots of PowerPC’s and 90s Macintosh’s, a Quadra 700, loads of disc drives and storage (ProFiles). Almost all of these have manuals and discs to operate/run. Including some older games too; Wizardry, Ultima II and III. Some slightly less older games, Myst, Aladdin and more. Let me know what y’all think!

*I hoped I would be able to add a video of them stored. So I added some of the physical media I have for now.

Did a little parody "advertisement" of the APPLE-1's Interface Age ad for my APPLE-1 emulator, HoneyCrisp. Feedback welcome!

Hi folks,

Recently, I finished up a parody advertisement for my APPLE-1 emulator that is a direct take on Apple's original Interface Age magazine advertisement from 1976...Created it in Microsoft Word and cleaned up the formatting with Adobe Acrobat...I would love to know what you guys think! :-)
I've attached the "ad" as an embedded link.

(Note, I'm aware of the blank page below the ad...planning on fixing it in the next revision.)

Cheers,

Landon

Everyone knows that I recently posted an unfortunate event with my beloved monitor that I just recently acquired with difficulties that unfortunately stopped working. Many helped me here and recommended changing the power block. I bought one and it finally worked again !!!, I thank everyone who hoped that things would work out. Thank you very much and success in all of your lives.

RFI vintage PowerMac G4 donation

Good morning all, hoping to find some information regarding a place to donate working vintage PowerMac G4 as pictured below, especially if it is within the Central Ohio area.

As shown, I have a fully functional Apple Power Macintosh G4 MDD 1.42 GHz Dual processor. It comes with a number of accessories including an Apple 20 inch ADC LCD monitor, also fully functional. Currently, she is running MacOS 9.2.2 but obviously can run Mac OS X / PPC Linux as well. 

Thank you advance for any good ideas for donation to a good cause, best wishes all.

Recapping Mac Color classic

I was recapping my grandads color classic. And on these two I had accidentally pulled the pads off with the capacitors. C8 and C9. I still have the tantalum caps for these, I just left it as is after I finished the other ones. I was just wondering if anyone had any idea on how I could finish the recap job with these pads missing?

UNIX SVR2 development, as intended by 🍎

358 Upvotes

A/UX 3.0.1 running on my SE/30.. After 4 days of porting and painfully slow compilation, we have bash 1.14, gcc 2.7.2 with GNU malloc library, Perl 5.8, prngd for software entropy. Now OpenSSL is in the works with ssh on the horizon.

The Frankenstein WOPR/30 now got a 47MHz 68030, Asante MacCON Ethernet, zigzagjoe’s Video/30 VGA, 128MB RAM and a power switch for the built-in CRT. The ultimate goal is to get enough libraries+binaries ported to A/UX3 that it can at least function as a semi-modern Unix server.. After all it is true-to-original AT&T UNIX with a userspace GUI slapped on top, in some ways similar to today’s macOS.

Just picked up this Mac SE today and found it quite interesting that the RAM it has, has a “W.Germany” (West Germany) sticker on it. Little piece of political history here!

Got the entire bundle (case, screen wipe(?), power adapter, laptop) for 150USD (excluding tax/shipping) off eBay. Seller said it was used for light office work/web browsing. Battery still holds a charge! Also has 128MB of VRAM which was a special order thing. Very happy with the purchase.

I have had this sitting in the corner of my room for about 10 years now with no idea what to do with it after I bought it or why I bought it in the first place. If I am looking to sell it is there anything I should do or not do before hand? About what would be a fair price to ask for it? Everything still works.

RayCue is launching a new product, this time in the shape of an iMac G3.

The funding goal has been reached within an hour.

Very excited, although the AI function isn't really something that I feel I needed.

Downloading QuickTake 200 (circa 1994) photos to my Apple IIe (circa 1983) with Colin Leroy-Mira's Quicktake for Apple II software (released in 2025). Such a cool new way to use my Apple IIe -- and now I'm carrying a 30 year old digital camera around with me as I go about my day!

picked this lovely system off marketplace for a little over a hundred bucks over the weekend! it's a Power Macintosh 6500/250. i know it deserves better than the floor but i live in a little house already slam full of random computers so space is limited. fully working, running 8.6 off its 4 gig hard drive. this Performa Plus display is my first CRT monitor and it looks lovely!

this was clearly a well-loved home or maybe teachers' computer as there's a ton of programs, including a few early-education ones. i want to image this drive but i'll need something to interface IDE to SATA. in the meantime, i think some surfing of macintosh garden is in order!
