You're right. My experience has been that internal components can actually withstand quite a bit of punishment before breaking down. Most often, it's the case that gets damaged — especially the brittle plastic ones. SGI O2s and old Macintosh computers are good examples of that. But when you see...

Hi Danniske, My main concern isn’t the shipping cost, but the risk of the computer being damaged during transport. The DS10 is small enough to fit in a crate, but I’ve had some bad experiences with that method. Pallet shipping is much more reliable, though it only makes sense cost-wise if...

Thanks a lot, guys! If I understand it correctly, without monitor(s) serving as a signal splitter I will not be able to connect any peripherals. And building one without documentation is, unfortunately, beyond my skills. I will be hunting for the keyboard that @bear pointed out. I already...

Hi, I bought this one from an elder gentleman. I have only the computer and no accessories. I wonder whether somebody has any manuals or at least advise what are the correct peripherals and how to connect them. S.

Hi, Recently I became a proud owned of PowerStack II. It works fine and boots Linux. I would like to try Windows NT but after research I learnt that I'm missing some Motorola disks. Namely: - PPC Boot Disk (Available from Motorola) - Arcinst.exe (Available from Motorola) - FW.IMG on disk...
