All the RAM, all the software....

[macgeek18]

A friend of mine who refurbed old Macs and gave them to kids for education retired. His Macs are all gone but the shoeboxes of RAM, Floppies, and MacOS software he gave to me. It's a little overwhelming. There is even more modern stuff than I thought. Every version of MacOS, Photoshop, Office, iLife, iWork. It's all here. Even old games, now I have to build the ultimate OS9 gaming Mac. I don't need all of it. If you're looking for something specific let me know and I'll look for it and let you know.

Before giving away/selling any of this stuff, I'd highly recommend checking with the Macintosh Garden to see if they need anything you have. Awesome find! I'm totally not envious of you

 

[macgeek18]

Wow... In the pile is a Apple Technical Manual CD with every Mac product and accessory from the MAC II to the G5. Will get it into my Google Drive and share the link in this post soon. Copying it over to a USB drive now.

Why not simply upload it to the Garden as @RogerWilco6502 suggested?

I didn't know I could upload things to the Garden. Will do that. Thanks

Hail Mary then as this is an Intel request. He wouldn't have had a copy of Filemaker 14 Pro in there would he?

None that I can see. Sorry my friend.

Yeah, like I said, it was a Hail Mary.

I'm still having to use the work MBP just for that app.

Thanks anyway!

If there's a boxed copy of Mac OS 8 in there, I'd be very very interested in that!

This is the only copy of genuine Mac OS 8 in the CDs and floppy's.

Is there any Mac Pro compatible PC2 5300-ECC RAM in that box?

Yes the one with big black heatsink are for 1.1/2.1 and maybe 3.1

Nonetheless, these heatsink are worth some money. You can swap these on 4gb/8gb stick of ddr2 ecc fb

 

[TheShortTimer]

@MrVitalic If the OP still has them, I'm definitely interested.

@MrVitalic If the OP still has them, I'm definitely interested.

If you want them they are all yours. I counted earlier and there is 7 512MB PC-5300-ECC DIMMs and heatsinks.

Thanks so much!

Shall we discuss the details via PM?

Going out on a limb here, but is there a box for Mac OS 7.6 there by chance? I’m really interested in a boxed copy of something from that era, and think I might spy one there in one of the pictures. It would look great in my classroom with some of the other old tech I have in there for the kiddos to play with

Just thought I'd might try this... Do you have any 4GB PC2-6400 SO-DIMMs? I want to max my MacBook5,2 at 6GB eventually. I know it's probably a long shot, but you never know. :3

Also would you potentially have the original software discs for the Dual USB iBook and the Digital Audio Power Mac G4?

It looks like I have a couple DA PM G4 disks. And a full box set for a iBook G3 dual USB. Might have two full sets actually.

Awesome!

The thing can take 8 gigs.

Oh, wow! Thanks for the tip!

Daaaaang, wowwww.

I definitely endorse adding what you can to the Macintosh Garden!

I have an extremely long-shot laptop RAM request: might you happen to see any 512MB SO-DIMMs by Samsung (either PC133/100/66) which have 8 chips to a side (16 total), like this (see thumbnail)? They shipped with some of the early Titanium PowerBooks as OEM memory.

If not, no worries. Thanks!

Just looked and I have none. Now if you wanted PC133 Samsung 256MB I have about 100!

What a cool collection! Definitely upload what you can to the Garden.

Any chance you have any PC133 (or PC100) sticks of 512 MB RAM for laptop or desktops? Or, 1 GB sticks of PC 2700 laptop RAM? If not, that's totally fine! I've been casually looking for a while at upgrading some of my PowerBooks.
