| Snuci's Finds... | |
| Posted by: snuci on 2017-10-18 17:51:14 Thanks guys. I got the card today and the CPU is an XC68040RC40M so I guess it's a 40Mhz model but I thought I had read these came with a 33Mhz CPU and it was overclocked to 40Mhz as noted here: https://www.fenestrated.net/mac/Turbo040/ I guess that isn't accurate, maybe for later ones? | |
| Posted by: Bolle on 2017-10-18 21:21:27 Mine has an overclocked 33MHz CPU on it. I guess they used what was available at the time. | |
| Posted by: olePigeon on 2017-10-20 10:23:04 Mine is also an overclocked 33 MHz. I think you lucked you with a great score. | |
| Posted by: snuci on 2017-10-20 16:21:43 Lucky on the Daystar Turbo 040 but unlucky with the PowerCD. No dice on making that work but at least I have the power supply and the base. Seems to be easier to find a CD unit without the accessories. I'll have to try my luck once again at some point just to complete the unit now 🙂 Another cool score that I am seriously happy to have is an AppleColor 100. It's a little beat up but I didn't pay a lot for it ($200 shipped) and they are impossible to find. While it does have some discoloration, scratches and chips, the internal arm was disconnected for the motorized screen tilt. I connected it back up and we're in business!   | |
| Posted by: snuci on 2017-10-29 14:17:28 Couldn't stay away from this one. You don't see an Apple Director's Chair come up for sale too often.  | |
| Posted by: snuci on 2017-12-05 16:52:26 Grabbed a Macintosh Portrait Display M1030 on eBay today for $9.95 plus shipping. https://www.ebay.ca/itm/253294477338 | |
| Posted by: Trash80toHP_Mini on 2017-12-05 20:18:32 Very nice find at a great total price. Hope it arrives in good shape! | |
| Posted by: snuci on 2017-12-12 16:54:47 I received my $50 Mac Color Classic today and figured I'd open it up to see what issues there were. I have an LC575 board for this, just in case so I didn't mind if it had issues. I was just going to check for battery damage but when I removed the back cover, I was greeted with some type of accelerator card. Looks to be a Sonnet Presto 040. Gonna need to do some research on this one. I haven't yet tried to power it up yet as I need to clean up the dust. BTW, no battery damage either.    | |
| Posted by: EvieSigma on 2017-12-12 20:58:08 A 20MHz LC040? Wasn't even aware such a thing existed. | |
| Posted by: EvilCapitalist on 2017-12-13 06:34:34 I've got a Presto 68LC040/20MHz as well and it's a nice boost over stock with the only caveat being that you can't use additional VRAM with the card (something they fixed with the Presto Plus). | |
| Posted by: KnobsNSwitches on 2017-12-16 08:48:13 A $50 color classic? Nice find! I had a Presto 040 in my Color Classic back when it was current hardware, I remember it being a nice boost. | |
| Posted by: snuci on 2018-03-20 14:12:36 Bought a lot of Mac ROMs. I know what most of them are but I don't know what the lone bottom ROM is for. Does anyone know? It's marked 820-0431-01.   | |
| Posted by: MOS8_030 on 2018-03-20 15:55:57 I'm going to guess Centris 610 or something similar. | |
| Posted by: snuci on 2018-10-04 15:22:08 Finally scored a 128k Drexel Mac. Very happy camper here.    | |
