I should have been here long before now as I've rescued many, many 68k Macs in my life. I have recently been pulling out most of my vintage collection and getting some up and running again. All that's left of what used to be a fairly extensive collection is 2 IIci's, a Classic II, and an LC 520 all in one. I only have space to set up the IIci, but it's a doozy with a Daystar Powercache, 128 MB RAM, PAS 16 sound card and SuperMac Spectrum 24 video card. I am using a 17" VGA monitor currently as all my old Mac monitors went in the name of space several years back. I'm glad I hung onto these few machines from more than 30 that I used to own. This seems like a great board! Thanks!

Hey thanks everybody. Just to help introduce myself further, here is an article I wrote for MY Turn on Lowendmac back in 2002 that details my main IIci that I still have and am currently getting back up and running.

Not trying to brag and I don't usually do the shameless self promotion thing, but since I'm new I thought it wouldn't hurt to have some "street cred" so to speak. 😎
I have already found much useful information here. My current project is getting an LC 520 I rescued long ago back up and running. Nice to meet you all!

Ah, the PAS 16 NuBus card. Always wanted one of those. They always were spoken of in reverent tones.

It's strange because it's a great sound card but most MIDI apps want to look at the serial port and fail to see the PAS16. I've not used that function much on mine but I'm hoping that the IIci can handle some lo-fi sounds and MIDI now that it's back out and being set up. Surely it's just a CP setting that is neglected. If I have trouble, I can always pick up a different Mac MIDI interface for it. The sound card part does sound great as it's full 16 bit audio and has great Digital to Analog converters for it's time.

That IIci of yours sounds like a great rig. Nice to have you aboard.

Hi,
I have just signed up for this forum. Happy to be where I can pick up some old Mac discussions, or get help with some things.
Currently I have a boxed up 128 K Mac Plus and an ImageWriter, an LC, a couple of PowerMacintoshG3s, a Bondi Blue original iMac, a Strawberry Rev B iMac (or was that Rev C?), and a G4 Quicksilver (what I am using right now), along with my 20 inch Core 2 Duo iMac.
I have used Macs since 1985. Does that date me!
