The Macintosh Centris. I felt like starting a discussion about this, seeing
as I recently found a fully working Macintosh Centris 660av from eBay. I
actually made this video unboxing it (watch if you want I don't care:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lddp3vMa4hc ), and then I decided to start
t
A good idea would be to do what I did for the Centris 660av and just look
around eBay for a bit. Unfortunately most of the computers being sold are
broken or only power tested (PLEASE STOP IT'S ANNOYING), but eventually
you'll find a vintage mac that works fully and is compatible with SCSI.

It might? I've gotten my old iMac DV from 1999 online using a modern Apple
laptop, an ethernet cable, and internet sharing. However, since you're
using a laptop, 1. make sure you have airport, and 2. make sure you can use
the correct security type (WPA I'm pretty sure) for your WIFI network, and
I did it to a PowerBook G4 using "special tactics" so watch this section
from one of my tech video logs to see that. I'll preface this by saying it
took a USB drive, an old Intel MacBook, and the PowerBook:

I would recommend System 6 or so and maybe System 7, but I wouldn't
recommend anything higher than that, seeing as later System 7 versions look
more aged on a B&W screen rather than a colored screen where it actually
looks decent. also System 7 is probably pushing the 68000 chip farther than

I know they speed bumped the 610 and the 650 but the Centris 660av and
Quadra 660av have no difference besides the model sticker. also they take
the same System 7.1 that came with the Quadra 840av.

their focus from OS 9 to OS X (which as we've seen today, that's worked
It's not necessarily just an SE thing. I wouldn't recommend anything later
than early System 7 on any 68000 Macintosh...
...And yes, that does include the classic.

I'm not sure if I'M reading this wrong, but I don't think everyone's
getting what I said. Early System 7 is basically anything before System
7.1, which came on later 68040 machines or so. I think System 6 is the
sweet spot for the SE and some other late 68000 machines.

I bought a centris a while back, and from my experience since, I can maybe help
you. First, I don’t have a Performa 631cd laying around, so I can’t sell you
one. Second, I recommend you just buy a monitor adapter because 1. It’s
cheaper, and 2. You can use much more modern displays with a better
So I’ve always considered the possibility of running MS-DOS stuff on my Centris
660av. Does anyone know if the Centris 610 DOS Compatibility card (that I at
least think exists) would work with my 660av? And if so, where to find one?

Is anyone able to sell me a Power Macintosh 9600, 8600, 5400, 5500, or G3 beige
tower? I tried eBay but when I found a G3 for cheap, someone just HAD to bid
$100 because apparently the world is ending and it’s the last one in existence
despite not having a hard drive.

I think LEM Swap is a good place where only apple stuff is sold, and I
myself ended up striking a deal in this group to get a Power Macintosh 5200
with a 5500 board, but in terms of eBay alternatives, I like Mercari
because you can get a crazy deal on some of these older Macs, especially G3
and
tried to find where North Wales is, but I don't know if it's the one in
Pennsylvania or the one in the United Kingdom. Then again, I'm from Ohio
and I just prefer shipping anyways.

Is shipping available for any of these? I've been looking at getting into
different Powerbook models in particular. I'm from Ohio.
