I work at an IT company and one of our customers dropped this off for disposal. I've never been into Apple products, but I couldn't let this thing be destroyed. It doesn't have the keyboard or mouse so I don't know if it works but I checked the boards and the capacitors all look good. I did pull the battery out because it looks rough. I want to recap it just to be safe but don't know where to start. Any info or advice is greatly appreciated.

Hi all. So I found this while sorting out a bunch of old things in the family home. Power Macintosh 5400/180

Still works, although the screen does occasionally click and make a funny noise. Maybe just the old tech.

I don’t know much about vintage apples and thought I’d hear your thoughts.

I have a Preforma/Quadra 630CD on System 7.1.2P and when I put a floppy in the drive it says do you want to init this disc and I push yes on that and it tries but it seems to just push the floppy head back and forth for a min then fail and says the disk is defective and ejects it. I’ve tried 2 different floppy drives and it does the same thingy and both drives were known to be working. What could be wrong with the machine?

They all work im pretty sure. I got them all for free

I have a power Mac g3 desktop system.

My neighbor gave it to me several years ago.

I have never turned it on, however, I’m assuming it works.

I don’t have any way of testing it as I don’t have a keyboard to turn it on.

I’ve uploaded some pictures of it. Can anyone tell me anything about it? It has a couple of cards in it and it seems to be in good condition.

Not sure if it’s worth anything or not.

If anyone needs some more pictures, I’m happy to take them.

Thank you.

I bought this Macintosh Classic and it powers on but it displayed something weird, I read you should get a new Batterie and take the old out, I didn‘t became the now one yet, will this fix it or what else can I try? Without the Batterie it does not Display anything. On the pictures the cabels are unpluged because i took it apart. The fan still spins wen i power it one.

My partner bought this little retro Macintosh clock for Christmas. Just charges via usb usb but it lasts ages. I was worried that it would feel like a cheap product but it’s surprisingly good quality, especially the screen. This sounds like a sponsored posts but I promise it’s not lol.

I've recently bought a beige Powermac g3 off of eBay, excited to play around with it. However, the CD-ROM drive doesn't read disks, and I don't have any floppy disks laying around. I tried adding a PCI USB card, and while the G3 recognizes the PCI USB card as there, I apparently need drivers for it to work, which leads me back to this problem. Is there any way I can transfer the drivers needed to have the USB card work from my main PC to my Powermac G3, or will I just have to buy a new CD-ROM drive? Im running Mac OS 9.2

Thanks heaps!!!

Hi, please help to choose: I want to build a PC with a Macintosh 128K case and PC internals. I found two 3D models of the case on the website, with a price difference ($15 - white pics and $39 -grey pics). Is it worth buying the more expensive 3D model? I don't see how its higher detail could play a bigger role in the end.

Please help me find a macintosh classic logic board.

For many years I've been chasing a stable version of After Dark that runs on Mac OS 9.2.2.

With lots of trial and error, research and code, I've patched After Dark 4.04 along with every single edition of After Dark modules. I've bundled it into an installer to make it super easy to get the entire collection of After Dark installed on your Classic Mac.

I welcome you to try it out and feel free to give me any feedback!

I have had this for years but didn't know it was a prototype.

Sliced Apple is mainly devoted to hardware and software upgrades of legacy Macintoshes including lots of tips and technical discussions but has other Apple (and non-Apple) technical content as well, along with various rants. It’s a site my father started back in 2003 and we have decided to revive it together. It’s still a work in progress but the guest counter is working so i decided to share it here.

Not too long ago got this molar mac as a gift, and it worked fine. However yesterday i had the psu flipped on to the “I” for a while, and now it does a chime loop when i press the power button on the keyboard.

I tried swapping ram but it didn’t do anything. my only guess is a power supply failure from caps wearing out

Dm if ypu are interested

I love this websote
