LOL, nice job! Love the speeds, and the sleek "must have" iPhone!
The carrying case box is a real find, nice. I knew they were an option, but like yourself never saw the box. I love the Picasso style artwork.
Looks like QuickTime for Linux, as rendered by Pixar!
Looks great James! Debating whether to do this to some of my old Macs. I'd rather take apart an SE/30 than a Mac Mini anyday, though! :)
Did Apple sell these black Performas in the US? I don't recall them, only the AppleTV.
Wow, nice display. Macs taking over the house, ehh? :)
Nice collage. I should create a similar photo. I don't have a Umax mouse at present, but I do have one from Power Computing! Also a Kensington 2 button ADB mouse, the Apple Mighty Mouse (with scroll pea), and - of course - the Hockey Puck Mouse.
Yes, it's the Newertech accessory with a hard disk and extra USB and FireWire ports. Reminds me of the "zero footprint drives" from the old 9" compact Mac era!

The Vintage Mac Museum Blog
The Vintage Mac Museum is a working collection of 68k and PowerPC Macs from the pre-Intel era. I just started a blog that describes working with vintage Macs, maintaining the collection, and tales of performing old Mac file transfers and conversions, which can be found at http://vintagemacmuseum.blogspot.com/.

- All LCs came with 1.44MB SuperDrives, which could read/write DOS disks. The PC Exchange program was the opener utility Apple supplied, not the full translator like MacLinkPlus. Feel free to email me directly if you wish to continue: adam AT oakbog.com

but I was forced to do it this way then.
There's always more than one possible solution.
Can it be the earliest LC's had drives not capable of PC disks ?

- I subscribe hardly anywhere. But this sounds familiar to me. Throughout the nineties I had to handle PC-Word-files again and again. Some of them were readable on the LC (7.1).
A change of the floppy drive and PC Exchange (really, PC Ex made reading PC disks possible, but only in combination with a new drive) gave my setup a slight 'compatiblity',
But in a way it felt good not to be another grey in the crowd...
