Apple Macintosh LC 475
In September 2009 I started to downsize this collection to a few items and then archived this section to its own subdomain at the start of October 2011. Remaining items sold off in mid 2024.
This system
The AppleColor High-Resolution RGB Monitor, keyboard, and mouse for this system were obtained from a local hard rubbish collection while the system unit with ethernet adapter was purchased for $25 at a swap meet. I also added an extra 8MB of RAM from my pile of parts. The matching 8MB SIMM went into a friend's LC575 that his family still uses.
I got this system with a wiped hard drive and after some failed attempts at using System 7.1 disks that a friend created on his LC 575 from his install cd System 7.5 was installed by downloading the disk images and a network access disk on a pc and transferring them across via a linux box running netatalk.
