This group is for all British RetroMacCast listeners. Retro Macs have a great following in the UK and there is quite a number of listeners from the British Isles, so please use this group to come together and discuss any British Mac goodness!
Oh wow! I bought one of these a couple of weeks ago from a charity shop, (boxed and with one game cartridge), for a mere £3.99! Brilliant little console - I'm currently on the look out for more games for it.
I have heard of this being done before but never actually seen a picture. Imagine what could be done with even more floppy drives and hubs daisy chained together...
I bet that when Apple designed Magsafe connectors they didn't think that it would make their notebooks easier to steal!

RetroChallenge 2008
I'm taking part in this month's RetroChallenge and although my project is not Mac-related, it is still interesting for anyone who's into retro computers. Hint: I'm using a 128K Sinclair Spectrum!

- Recently I sent something to Damian Ward, and was surprised about the mailing costs of around € 2,50 only. Pass me your address, and I'll find a way (if I can find the card :-)
Well, it is here. A stable envelope is what I do not have on a Sunday evening.

- Hi !
Are you still looking for an Ethernet II for a 5x00 PPC ?
I recently got one as a present, and I'd like to send it to you cross the Channel!

Martin said… - Thanks for pointing out the 190CS is IDE, I missed that. I think I might have an old IDE drive to sort that one out. This will mean I'll have two working 190cs's :-)
The 500 is a good buy since they came with the PPC upgrade already installed and were only out for a few months so must be a bit of a rarity. The nice chap is bundling the 3 items (including a bag) I won in one post so the overall cost will make the wins a good overall bargain.

The schools on the isle of man have been hoarding computers for along time, but about a month before i became interested in old computers the board of education decided to make schools clear out there computers. I missed out on a BOXED Commodore pet and Boxed C64's and also Almost every model of mac since The macintosh plus. I was horrified to find that out. But i have got odds and ends off my school though ... : (
