Massive trade!

Alright, this might not really be a conquest (since it was a trade and all), but WorkgroupServer and I had a trade.

I received:

Mac SE power supply

Mac SE analog board

Three 2.5 SCSI drives (working)

Four 3.5 SCSI drives (working)

PowerBook 140 with no OS/working HD, AC adapter, and free logic board

Sun Ultra 10 w/VGA adapter

Macintosh IIci motherboard

Macintosh ADB KBs/mice

USB KBs

Macintosh LC PSU

Apple internal SCSI CD-ROM drive

Color LaserJet 2550 (needed new yellow toner)

Assort. Pismo parts

Performa 6400 logic board

Icebook batteries (unknown condition)

Dead Wallstreet (no CPU/RAM/HD)

Internal PSUs for various Mac models

500mhz iMac G3 logic board

PowerBook Duo 2300c with OS 8.1, no power adapter

Compaq P4 motherboard

HP (Vectra?) P3 PC

Compaq server board (w/CPUs)

All in all, I'm pretty excited, since he gave me everything that I needed to get my last Macintoshes with problems running again.

2.5" SCSI drives...very handy! Well done, an excellent load of stuff there.

Thanks! 🙂

There were actually two 2.5 SCSI drives and one 2.5 IDE Quantum Daytona though. However, I can still use the Daytona as a HD replacement for my PowerBook 150.

Oops! I didn't notice one was IDE... it must have been from my dead Powerbook 150!

It's alright, especially because I can put it in my own PowerBook 150 now.

Bad news though; the hinge on the PowerBook 140 broke. :'( The video cable is OK, but the screw holding the screen is kinda stuck. I'm gonna try to fix the hinge after the darn screw budges.

This time, I checked the PowerBook Duo 2300c. It's running OS 8.1 on a 1 GB hard drive with 12 MB RAM. It has a jumpy trackpad, but I plan on getting a MicroDock to fix the problem.

The video cable is OK
Lucky.

Actually, on closer inspection, it wasn't. 🙁

I've had one of those cables break, unfortunately, I have no Powerbook 1xx series computer left. 🙁
