QS 1Ghz and Newton 2100
Posted by: Byrd on 2008-07-02 22:57:25 Both from Mactalk, yet to receive: - Stripped G4 Quicksilver with "1Ghz" CPU. I'm 99% sure Apple didn't make a single processor G4, so hoping this is a dualie! I've a couple of spare 80 + 120GB disks, optical drive and SDRAM to complete it. And maybe a Geforce 5200 to really make it a nice machine to use. - Newton 2100 (not upgraded 2000) with leather case, stylus and serial cable adapter. Again, I think I've a Orinoco Gold card for some wireless action. Although the wireless driver is shareware and the full version cannot be purchased anymore? JB
Posted by: macgreg on 2008-07-03 00:17:19 Nice work! I am picking up a Newton 2000 (upgraded to 2100 specs) tonight from Mactalk as well. Let me know if you haven't got a wireless card that works - I may have one spare.

Posted by: Byrd on 2008-07-03 16:19:02 JB your liberation fu is strong right now Yeah I've been very lucky lately Bunsen - cheap and cheerful libs too. What's more, I've sold off heaps of random stuff lately as well (PCs, Macs, house effects), and I'm really getting back into having a small but good collection which I can use frequently and enjoy 🙂 Which is what it's all about. I bought the QS G4 home but didn't get the chance to check it out. Sadly, it's a 933Mhz model - but that makes it the "QS 2002" model which supports 48-bit LBA. It might be overclocked to 1Ghz, just need to load it up with goodies to check this out. Oh yeah that Black CC I was going to give you Bunsen - was a weird one. I had a good condition virginal CC and the Mystic mod just wouldn't take on it. So I merged the guts of the Black CC into this one. What's funny is that once opened someone had written "VGA no sound", which was perfectly correct as all the sound chips and resistors were removed! Sadly I had to remove the sound chip from the good condition but bad CC, and therefore made one good Mystic CC from two. JB
Posted by: Bunsen on 2008-07-04 03:39:24 And the good one is black? Either way, does that mean you now have one empty CC case? Because I have a hankering to do some severe butchery that wouldn't be conscionable on a good unit.
