a nice condition 1ghz 15" TiBook show up

I'm amazed that it's okay! TiBooks dent as soon as you even think of postage stamps, let alone shipping them

The MDD will be a nice machine for pootling around on, are you going to split it with OS X on one drive and MacOS on the other?

TiBook was shipped in a oem box and survived no prob

No OSX on the MDD... Won't need that!

Picked up another MDD... 1.25DP. It was loaded up pretty good with 4 hard drives, 2GB memory, 2 optical drives and 2 Digidesign Mix cards, which was a nice bonus!

I recently got a Lexar FireWire 400 CompactFlash Card Reader off of eBay.

I am also waiting for delivery of the Lexar Professional FireWire 400 CompactFlash Card Reader in hopes that it will boot OS 9 (the one named above does not).

A while ago I got an M-Audio FireWire 1814 audio interface.

Found a nice early 90s Gravis ADB Mac Gamepad (anyone remember these?). It was the first time I've come across one here in Europe, no idea if they are rare or not. But it still works fine and really adds to the fun when playing Power Pete

A pair of PATA ---> SATA bridge boards and two 2.5 ---> 3.5 drive mounting brackets to go along with them.

Destined for the Quicksilver Dual 800 and the Gigabit Dual 450 (assuming I can get the latter running ...

)

I bought a Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5 in a second hand store for 10 euro, battery charger included.

When it was off, the lens was extended. When I switched it on, the lens was retracted and then extended. After a few seconds it said: "please turn camera off and then on again". When I switched it off, the lens remained extended.

The error repeated endlessly.

Then I grabbed the lens and switched it on and stopped it from retracting. It extended to maximum. Then I tapped it twice on the palm of my hand. When I switched it off, the lens was retracted. It was fixed.

Added 3 SATA SSDs, one to my Quicksilver 2002 dual 1.0 using a IDE to SATA adapter, two to the MDD 1.25Ghz 2003 using a Sonnet Tempo SATA controller.

Installing OS9 and 10.5.8 as we speak in fact!

I'm thinking about using a multi-peg free-standing hat/coat rack for just the cables I have upstairs.
Should fill up fairly quick.

Downstairs, there are cables hanging everywhere in the office and in the storage area.
Where DO they all come from?
