I am slowly building up my mini Mac Museum after going through my old stuff at my Grandma's

Thus far I have a working Mac Plus, Mac Classic, LCIII, LC 475 and I need a power supply for my 5400/180

I am still trying to locate my Quick Silver. I got a retired G3 and G4 tower at work I can add to my collection as well. Im thinking of putting something that pre-dates OS 6 on the plus. OS 6 on the Classic with Multifinder and 7.1 on the LC475. The Power PC's I will put 8 and 9 on with my flat Panel iMac getting a early copy of X.

Not sure why but I guess its keeping me distracted and more important memory lane. I also found all my MacAddicts from 1997 to 2001 so I have a lot of software to play with from the Disc's that came with them.

I also found my geoport modem, SCSI external hard drives which are 4x the size of Mac Mini's and a external SCSI CD Rom which is massive, and as heavy as my Macbook Pro.

I do miss the old Apple Keyboards, the buttons feel so much better and I loved having the power button on the keyboard.

I forgot how easy it was to take apart a LC475. No screws really on the inside.

Nice!

good stuff there. I'm halfway tempted to dig out my LCIII just to install Carmen Sandiego!

You should definitely visit the 68k Macintosh Liberation Army. I'm over there, as well. I have quite a few vintage Macs. My current project is to convert an ATX power supply to be used in my Mac IIci so I can get my Radius Rockets working.

for some reason my work web nanny is blocking that as a p0rn site.

Anyone need any old Mac software? Mostly OS 8 stuff. Maybe a few System 7.5 things.

I guess technically it's nerd porn. You should see the thread on the unboxing of my mint-in-box Macintosh LC.

Can I interest you ancient Mac enthusiasts in back copies of MacWeek, Macworld or MacUser (US) magazines? What about a blazing fast Power Macintosh 8600/300?

I love Mac OS 7.6.1 I forgot how much I hated Mac OS 9.2.2

I still have my first Mac, a Performa 6200CD. Still works fine as far as I know. I couldn't resist maxing it out with all the upgrades I could find on eBay a few years back.

Still got my Commodore Amiga A500 too. Brilliant machine.

At the the moment the farthest back I can go is booting Classic under 10.4 on my G5.

I suppose I could dust-off my PowerCenter 150 and boot-up 8.1. Fire-up Write Now. Play some Quake or Duke Nukem. Have some fun with Kai's PowerTools or Texture Explorer. Good times.

I might still have a copy of The Daedalus Encounter somewhere.

we should take photos of our old hardware and software and post it up

My MDD some time ago, I've upgraded the display to an (Aluminum) Apple Cinema HD Display 23" since.




Runs Mac OS 9 like a champ !!

Currently bringing a 450 MHz G4 back to life for a friend.

I've got a nice Apple II Plus with the monitor, 5 1/4" disc drives and I think a mouse sitting in a closet somewhere. Damn thing still boots too, although I discovered I no longer have any idea what to do with a command line.

At least I'm pretty sure it's a II Plus. In my head I thought it was a IIe, but the motherboard definitely has a serial along with "1979" written on it in black marker. I think the IIe came much later than that.
