MacMania Museum

Welcome...
Welcome to The MacMania Museum, an online guide to the earlier offerings from the wonderful world of Apple (although it does wander off into PowerPC and iMac territory a little).
Intended as more than just a history resource, here you'll find (amongst other things) practical tips on repairing and using older Apple equipment, tales of projects and repair jobs, and links to other sites and resources. If you can remember the differences between Mac OS 6 and Mac OS 7, what hard drive interleave to use with what machine, and why Quadras were better than Centris' then this is the site for you.
This site is in no way affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to Apple Computers and is run on a part-time non-profit making basis. If you want to contribute, correct, or offer your support, don't hesitate to contact me.

While the ultimate goal is to find an IBM System 360 machine (ha! Like that's ever going to happen) the museum has landed an Xbox 360 instead. OK so it's suffering from RRoD but a repair kit is on order so let's see what whether we can make a poorly machine better

9th November 2011 - ZX-Eighty...None =:(
Having found a bargain priced Sinclair ZX-81, the museum was all ready to see what the infamous black sliver of plastic could do. Write-up written, specs detailed, link created and then...the seller changed their mind. Bastard, bastard, bastard =>(

4th September 2011 - High Octane Power
It's been an awful long time coming but the museum has landed another SGi machine: an Octane. OK it has 'issues' but for £40 there was no way that we'd miss out on it and who knows what Mr Screwdriver might be able to do =;)

29th August 2011 - Psion of The Times
For no reason whatsoever, the museum has gone and landed itself a Psion Organiser II. Many people seem to call it 'revolutionary', while others call it 'an overblown calculator'. But who's right? There's only one way to find out...take it apart =;)
