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.

Current News...

	10th May 2012 - The Sun Has Got His Hat On...Twice They might be something totally out of our experience but the museum has sourced not one but two Sun Sunfire V210 rack mount servers. And never mind the £7000 list price, these little beauties cost a whopping £20
	21st April 2012 - Intel Inside MIPS may have defined them but one of the later Intel powered SGI Visual Workstations (the 320) has found its way into the museum's paws. Time to see what happens when 'legend' meets 'mainstream' =:S
	18th April 2012 - Portable? Well If You Say So It's been a dream for a long time (since about 1984) but finally the museum has found an Osborne 'portable' at a price that is on the right side of sane
	24th March 2012 - Did Anyone Mention Pie? They usually go for stupid money (£100+) but we've found a Pioneer MSX machine (complete with keyboard and video titling cartridge) for a bargain £40. Even the Sony HitBit machine looks shoddy compared to this little beastie
	23rd March 2012 - We've Got wood (oo-er) OK we might already have a VCS 2600 but it was the mid 80's version. Now though the museum has landed an original 'woody' (wood effect) version...for a mere £6. Sold as 'spares or repairs' it's actually working perfectly. Ho hum
	10th February 2012 - Risky The blending of the RISC world and the PC world? It can only mean one thing: The museum has landed a RiscPC. Years we've been waiting for one of these to come along at a sensible price
	6th February 2012 - This Isn't Just A PC... PCs generally don't get the museum excited but at a mere £35 we've landed a geriatric Amstrad PC2286...and it works =:O
	23rd January 2012 - Silicon Plus The museum may already be home to a CPC 464 and a dreadful GX-4000 but but the machine that sits in between them (the CPC 464+) is a little more 'uncommon'...until now that is. What's better is that this one comes with it's actual monitor so we might be able to try it out properly =:D
