James,

I’m in the UK (although currently enjoying Greece) and actively buy at the
right prices.

Thanks

Charlie

  Hi moving home within UK forces me to get shot of my Macs, thats Southern
  England [Hatfield Hertfordshire] to North Wales.
 
 
  Macs: G3 Beige; CD ROM drive playing up.
 
  Otherwise working order
 
 
  Quadra 950: Internal Hard drive PC variety with ID at 6.
 
  I stupidly linked a Zip drive with faulty ID selector which resulted in an
  ID conflict and it refused to boot.
 
  NB had worked perfectly.
 
 
  Misc Equipment: Alps SCSI printers x 2 in working order.
 
  Apple Monitor; Small works OK
 
  Epson Multi- Colour printer-Scanner-Photo-copier; works OK, print heads
  need cleaning.
 
  Zip drive; Modems; Misc cables Mac and mains.
 
 
  Sorry but buyer must collect though you can use the new packing boxes.
 
  I have to give a moving date so this is urgent.
 
  Everything is free.

  I am trimming my collection, and have a number of machines that *I*
  have no further interest in.  On the disposal pile right now are 2 Mac
  IIs (sans disks or memory) and a 610.  Others will be following.
 
  My question is: does anyone have any interest in these
  non-collectable machines?  Are they more collectable than I think?
  Do *you*, gentle reader, want them for the cost of shipping from
  Eastern MA?
 
  In general, I am keeping compact macs, macs with video or audio editing
  capabilities, and unusual machines (such as a 68000, Inc., souped up
  IIfx designed for the prepress market).  Some of the low-end video
  editing machines (like the 660 AV) will eventually be in search of
  homes as well.  As I dig deeper, I expect some Quadras and PPCs to surface.
 
  I also have some garden-variety peripherals, such as Zip and Jaz
  disks, that I think are not worth trying to find homes for, but should
  just be disposed of.  Likewise some older mac-compatible printers,
  such as various flavors of Epson.
 
  The machines I am asking about are, in general, machines that I think
  are neither old enough, unusual enough, nor rare enough to be worth
  preserving for historical reasons, and not new enough or powerful
  enough to be work setting up for use (given that I have other machines
  that are more interesting/powerful).
 
  Anyone disagree with my assessment that I should just recycle these?

 Good night folks,
 Take a hot bath, and maybe you will feel better in the morning.
  
 In a perfect world we would all know everything.  I'm sure if that was the 
 case, We would take care of everything ourselves.
 This world is not perfect.  I spent some time putting together MacCaps.com,  
 and all those threads at 68kmla.org
 1 - because I like mac's
 2 - its a good feeling, to bring macs back from the dead.
 3 - because I naturally like to help people
  
 no, not for dollar signs.
 Not at all.
  
 There are many people that like macs to!
 That is the reason for this forum and many others.
  
 I wouldn't even say I offer a service. I'm not a busness.
 I mean how much do you get paid an hour?  Many boards take like 2 hours to 
 properly complete.
  
 Heck i even take on boards nobody else will touch. Guys that tried to do it 
 them selves lifted pads, got fusterated  - what ever.
 i do those to… same price.
  
 If I sent you (a) friendly email saying  Hey i'll do that for you, If ya 
 need me.  - No Problem 
 and that made you upset, Hey sorry.
  
 By all means if you want to do it your self please do so.
 Feel free to use any content at my site as needed.

Re: Vintage Mac users based in Ulster, British Isles and Republic of Ireland.

[Charles Lowndes]

I'm in Britain (Staffordshire) and in to vintage Macs. Actually I'm desperate 
to find some one who can recap mine (I don't what the skills for that).

I had plenty of kit spanning from the Plus through to G4's and the like., and I 
try to still use most of it in a local school I work in to teach kids about the 
history of computers. 

Currently looking for a Pizza box Mac, but eBay starting bids and buy it now 
prices have got silly in the last 12 months or so, they don't even appear to 
sell, being listed many times.

Anyway enough rambling, it's cool that there are others this side of the pond, 
if not exactly 'local'!

 Most of the cool stuff is based in the US and trying to get parts for older

 I have some kit (no list typed up, sorry) and would consider swaps or

 I also have experience recapping analogue boards and would gladly offer

 I did have access to about 30 items including printers, ext SCSI and CD 
 drives, Classics, a Plus and some PPC's but someone at work decided they 
 should go to landfill and I was on long term sick leave at the time, so I 
 lost them all, including the cables and connectors.
 
 Apple products were not as well supported here despite the factory in the 
 city of Cork, County Cork. I have exhausted links to educational 
 establishments in the Belfast and greater Belfast area and I need to open up 
 new contacts.
 
 Many thanks for reading this far!

Re: Stolen 1400 powerbook, and titanium laptop

[Charles Lowndes]

Hi,

I'm not sure how insurers work in the US so was not going to reply, but Todd 
seems to have hit the nail on the head. Talk to them.

In the UK the majority of insurers do new for old?

Re: Need to write 800k floppy disks for my Macintosh

[Charles Lowndes]

Yes that absolutely the problem.

You can format a 1.44 disc with a Plus or whatever for 800k , but you then 
cannot use that disc in a more modern machine with a 1.44 drive because it will 
ruin the formatting.

So you are stuck. i had to get a guy in Canada to send me some 800k system 6 
discs for my Plus which I promptly ruined by sticking them in a 1.44 USB drive 
to take a back up of them. 

So I'm in the same boat, I need to make 800k floppies with a system image on 
and the only machine that will do it needs the images to boot. 

I will have another look at it when I get home tomorrow night, see if i can 
coax the old 10mb HDD into life and see if I can make some images and send them 
out to you.

 I have an old Macintosh SE that can't handle 1.44mb floppy disks
 
 As far as I know, the problem is that also if you have an image you need to 
 write the disk with old mac: but you can format 1.44 in the mac format (400k 
 or 800k) This is due to a different format type on oldest mac.

Re: Curious about a new acquisition

[Charles Lowndes]

Sounds like the capacitors have gone it. I have one of similar vintage that 
does that, but if I leave it on long enough (10 mins or so), she boots! 

Try that, failing that some one with technical expertise will be along shortly!

 have...Thank you all for help in advance( I normally run a Linux box

Re: What is a Mac formated Komag 128 Rewritable disk?

 I have received a request to transfer data from a Komag 128 MB rewritable

 to a CD.
 
 After a Google search I found little info but suspect the disk falls into the 
 magneto-optical category. What drive is required to do read this disk?
 
 Here is a description  from the requester:
 I do know that they were used on a Mac system [predates 1997]. They're 
 almost 
 exactly  the size of two stacked 3.5 floppy diskettes, with the write protect 
  
 notch in the same position. There are two of them labelled Komag 128 MB 
 rewritable.
 
 Any info appreciated, thanks -- glen
