Did so much graphic design work in Quark Xpress 4, Freehand 5.5 and Photoshop 3.0 on it. I plan on using my 475 for a future book layout, probably photoshop 3 as well. They still work just fine! |

What's the gray and black laptop in one of the bins? compaq presario 2500 (2580us), typical windows XP laptop that has the absolute slowest install of XP i've ever seen. took several minutes just to open my computer. definitely putting 2k on it |

Pentium 4 Mobile. One of the worst eras of windows laptops. Conversely, I've been rooting around for a Pentium M laptop (or a fancy desktop motherboard). Those Pentium M chips are basically a Pentium III turned super-saiyan. |

bad news... the imagewriter II i got has a loose return switch and i'm not quite sure how to remove the printhead without damaging anything. good news? i got the macintosh SE FDHD working, its in very good shape too. barely, probably never even yellowed. installed an 80MB hard drive, recapped the analog board and PSU, installed system 7.1. runs nicely. i wonder if something like an SCA drive would work, though. |

the LC III has a weird issue unfortunately. it does not seem to be reading floppies or writing to them Does it actually spin up? I had an issue with my IIcx where most things worked but the floppy was completely dead, turned out to be a trace with either the +5v or +12v rail so it effectively wasn’t getting power. |

yes it is getting power. just not being picked up in the system. looked at schematics and checked all traces, they are fine. |

So I guess that’d suggest the controller chip is suspect? |

I think it took over a day to install.
I think it was because the VM was stored on an external 2.5 spinning rust hard drive. |
