I first set up this page in March 2003. At that time I had just laid
my hands on my first working Mac, a Performa 630. In my excitement I
uploaded this list of every bit of Macintosh hardware and collectible
I owned. In the two years since then my collection has grown
significantly, and all those non-working Performas may seem a bit out
of place. I'll purge them eventually.
Mac SE,
one of the rarer ones with two 800k floppy drives instead of
one and a hard disk.
Macintosh Classic II. It is a bit shaky, often requiring
several resets at startup to find the hard disk, occasionally
not starting at all.
Macintosh II Series
Macintosh IIcx.
It had a MiroGraph Prisma card with a 9-pin connector,
which I replaced with the generic Macintosh II video card I found
in the IIx. The hard drive was not operable, so I replaced it with
a spare Performa hard drive, which unfortunately has no LED
connector. I installed system 6.0.7 from disks. This Mac has
8MB RAM, the maximum you can upgrade it to without hassle (you
can go up to 128MB), and the maximum system 6 supports.
Macintosh IIci.
It has an additional video card and an Ethernet card, and 20 MB
of RAM. It runs an American version of system 7.0.1 with A/UX.
Macintosh IIfx. I have two of them, sort of. One used to be a
IIx, the other a II, but they have been upgraded with IIfx mainboards.
I could get neither to work yet. When I try to boot the one in the
IIx case,
I get the Chimes of Doom and the screen remains completely black,
there is not even a Sad Mac with an error code that might tell me
what's wrong. The other one doesn't react at all when I power it on.
LC/Performa
Macintosh LC, running system 7.1,
and another one that had a defective hard drive.
Macintosh LC II, running system 7.0.
Performa 450, functional. It was "empty" when I got it,
everything removable was taken out. I put the hard disk from
the 475 in. It boots, but strange enough the system software
takes up more than 30MB memory (of 36!), even when no extensions are
loaded.
Power Macintosh 9500/150, with 256MB RAM, system 8.5.1.
This was the first PCI Mac. With six PCI slots and twelve SIMM
slots (up to 1.5GB RAM!) it is still the most expandable PowerMac
ever.
Performa 6400/180, with 48MB RAM
and a yummy Picasso VillageTronic video card, system 8.5.1.
GeoPort Telecom Adapter II. Usually, the Performa 6400 was fit with an internal version of this dreaded
modem, but this one is external.
Opcode Systems MIDI Translator. This is a small box that connects
to the printer port and has three MIDI out and one in connector. I got
it along with the Classic II.
Accessories and Software
Box labeled Accessory Kit Mac. LC V7.0.0.
All kinds of manuals etc., including two sheets of Apple stickers!
These have become rare nowadays.
Software on Floppies
System Disks A and B, Utilities Disk (still sealed), N&C Disk,
system 6.0.7 (Finder 6.1.7), German version. It is interesting that
the disks, like the box, are labeled in 9-10 languages, giving no
indication of the version contained.
System 7.1, German, eight disks, in the original package with the
installation manual.
Guy Kawasaki, The Macintosh Way. w00t! It's not exactly a
first edition, but still…
Neil J. Salkind, The Big Mac Book, Que 1989.
Sharon Zardetto Aker, The Mac Almanac, Ziff-Davis Press 1994.
Fits perfectly since it covers system 7.5.
Martin Böhmer - Henning Bergmann, Mac's Mekka, Intex 1995.
A German book covering system 7.5-7.5.2. The accompanying CD has
ResEdit, some freeware and shareware games and other goodies.
Vera F. Birkenbihl, Das neue MS-BASIC 2.00 auf Macintosh, LV 1985.
