Marc's Notes: Comments, Ramblings, Rants & Tips
The Clearance Bin — Our Virtual Garage Sale
Over the years I've accumulated a lot of old, sometimes rare, mostly obsolete, Macintosh hardware, software, books, and such. These are often hard to part with, and I keep procrastinating on putting them up on eBay. To meet a resolution to clean up my cluttered existence while not actively looking for homes for this miscellaneous stash, I'll be putting items here for sale. All prices listed are dirt cheap and somewhat subject to negotiation.
- I accept Paypal, as well as personal checks.
- Shipping costs will be extra and will be sent via USPS or UPS.
- Unless noted, items were working when last used.
- Wisconsin residents will be charged WI sales tax.
- No warranty or suitability for any purpose is implied.
- No international sales — Continental 48 US States only.
- Unless noted, all items are "AS-IS" and all sales are final.
- DO NOT send any funds before first contacting me!
Contact me if any of these items are things you just have to have, or are only curiously interested in adding to your accumulation!

4-port 100bT Ethernet PCI Network Interface Card (NIC)
This is the famous 4-port card that Apple was putting in G4 servers around 2000 or so. It works well.
This will work in any standard PCI slot (Mac 7500 through G4 Towers) and is recognized and fully supported by Mac OS X.
It includes a static bag to insure PCI freshness and is guaranteed not to be DOA.

ATI Radeon 7000 Mac Edition PCI Video Card
Until they came out with the 9200, the 7000 was the top dog PCI video card from ATI. This card has one DVI and one VGA connector, 32MB video RAM, and has been used to drive an Apple 23" HD Cinema LCD under mac OS 8.5 WITHOUT additional drivers!
This card is fully supported by Mac OS 9.2.2 through the latest version of Mac OS X.

It includes a static bag to insure PCI freshness and is guaranteed not to be DOA.

RARE! Asanté NuBus 100bT Ethernet Network Interface Card
As far as I can find out, this is the only 100bT NIC available for older NuBus Macs. It works well and I have drivers for this.
I used it as the second (LAN side) an old PPC 7100 for a few years when that Mac served as my software based internet gateway (running Sustainable Softworks IPNetRouter software).
This card is indeed VERY RARE, and is guaranteed not to be DOA.

UMax S-660 Scanner
This color scanner includes a SCSI cable (25 D to Centronics 50) and power cord. The bed size is 8.5" x 11". It powers up, and was working the last time it was used. Drivers for Mac OS X will probably have to come from a third party company, but be forwarded that SCSI devices are very picky under OS X!
No software is included, but the original software is still available from the UMAX web site.
Again, this is a SCSI scanner, and requires a SCSI port on your computer.

UMax S-1200 SCSI Flatbed Scanner
This color scanner includes a SCSI cable (25 D to Centronics 50) and a replacement (Radio Shack) 12 VDC power brick. The bed size is 8.5" x 14". It powers up, and was working the last time it was used. Drivers for Mac OS X will probably have to come from a third party company, but be forwarded that SCSI devices are very picky under OS X!
No software is included, but the original software is still available from the UMAX web site.
Again, this is a SCSI scanner, and requires a SCSI port on your computer.
