About Dipaunka: Macrides, The Herbalist I have been a vegetarian for all my adult life, I believe this is an important factor in my current state of good health, the reason for my high energy levels, vitality and the fact that I am still alive today. MAC is treated with a combination of antibiotics that should include at least two drugs, usually clarithromycin or azithromycin, plus ethambutol. Other antibiotics may be added depending on the severity of the case. Unfortunately, all of the drugs used to treat MAC can cause serious side effects that may require treatment with yet other drugs.

Introduction

What Macs are on this Web page? The Macs on this page are the first series of Macs produced by Apple. They are called 'compact' Macs because they include a 9 inch monitor. Sometimes theyare also called '9-inch' Macs. Many of those found (and sold on certain Web auction sites) have problems, like faulty power supplies, dirty or gummed-up floppy drives, faded CRT's, cosmetic issues. Shipping can easily damage these units. Any Mac of this vintage sold for use, generally needs to be tested, repaired and/or parts replaced - that takes time and parts. This Web page shows various compact Macs and identifies features.

My business is to sell compact Mac parts, to owners, to fix their compact Macs.Generally, I cannot offer a complete 'compact Mac' below the price of auction sellers, some of whom do little work, offer no assurances, and accept whatever price is offered. You can ask me about 'complete' systems, but mostly likely any compact Mac systems I'd have for sale would be listed on my Mac collectables Web page.

Mac Plus, 512K, 128K

Mac Plus

The Mac Plus has up to 4 Megs of RAM, and an internal 800K floppy drive. Mostare tan (beige), later models were 'platinum' (off-white with grey keys). This oneis pictured with an optional external 800K drive, the extended keyboard, andmouse. Some units with faded colors or uneven fading are offered at a discount.The 128K and 512K look very similar but have different connectors than the Plus for printer and modem; and there are variations in labling. Shipping weight for Mac Plus units is 20 lbs, 25 lbs with keyboard and mouse.

For questions about reading Mac Plus, 128K or 512K diskettes on an IBM-type PC,please review this document. Shipping weight forthese systems is 20 lbs, 25 lbs with keyboard and mouse. See the parts sections forpower supplies (analog cards) or floppy drives for these systems.

Note: the Mac Plus will not support 1.4MB floppy drives or diskettes. Adding a 1.4M drive won't 'work' to do that.

512K floppy drives were either 400K or 800K. The 512 (no KE) was sold with 400K drives; the 512KE was sold with 800K drives. But the 512K and even 128K'swere sometimes upgraded to use 512K motherboards and 800K drives. Some were upgraded to Mac Plus with a new back half! Here is a link to a photo of a 400K drive, the top cover plate is removed to show some of the internals. The 800K drive are half the height of this drive (2 inches, 5 centimeters) and look very different. You may be able to look inside the drive slot of a 512K and make a determination.

Mac SE, SE FDHD, SE SuperDrive models

The SE series of Macs have up to 4MB of memory and a 9-inch diagonal black and white CRT. For years, these SE's were relatively common as surplus. Today, Over 25 years old, many of them have cosmetic fading (they are turning yellow). Their original hard drives are wearing out, the floppy drives are gummed up. So most of these sold by others 'as is' without complete testing, will need work and replacment parts to get back into operation. There were two models of the SE, in the same case. The 'SE' supports 800K floppy drives and disk formats. The 'SE Superdrive' or 'SE FDHD' also supports 1.4MB floppy drives and disk formats.

A common parts request to me is 'sell me a 1.4M external floppy drive for my SE'. But that may not do what you think it will do. Unfortunately, just adding an external 1.4M floppy drive to an 'SE' model, will *not* enable your SE to read or write 1.4M diskettes. Specific from the Superdrive/FDHD models are also required as per the notes below.

SE systems we'd sell would be priced based on work (costs) needed to restore to working condition, plus parts value - they won't be cheap. Systems available would likely be listed in my Mac collectables page.

See the ADB accessories section for keyboard and mouse:For hard drives, review the section on other Mac hard drivesfor drive sizes and prices. For questions aboutreading Mac SE diskettes on an IBM-type PC, please review this document. Memory is available - check the memory Web page.

Mac SE models

Mac SE has up to 4 Megs RAM, 1 or 2 800K floppy drives, a SCSI hard drive.Shipping weight 25 lbs, with keyboard & mouse 30 lbs.
SE logic only - not FDHD, not Superdrive - $39 plus shipping, memory extra. There may be differences among the SE motherboards, ask for details.

SE FDHD and SE Superdrive, 4 Megs Ram, 1.4 floppy. Shipping weight 25 lbs, with keyboard & mouse 30 lbs.
SE FDHD logic or SE Superdrive logic - see note below.

The SE FDHD or SE Superdrive have two differences from the 'SE'. One, support for 1.4MB drives, thanks to a set of removable chips, see details below.Two, the SE internal frame which holds the CPU board, may not have room to allow PDS expansion cards; the SE FDHD, SE Superdrive, and SE/30 often have more room through the frame.

Superdrive or FDHD upgrade NOTE: To upgrade an SE motherboard to an SE 'superdrive' or 'FDHD' to read 1.4M diskettes, it requires replacing three chips, and use of the 1.4M floppy drive.The chips are two ROMS and one IWM (floppy controller chip), all as taken from a FDHD 'kit' or from that motherboard/CPU board. OR, you could replace the whole SE CPU board with an SE FDHD CPU board, which includes those same chips. You also need the 1.4M floppy drive of course. Check my parts section for prices on 1.4M floppy drives.

SE FDHD logic/motherboard, or the SE FDHD/Superdrive chip set. - Ask if available and price. The chips are cheaper to ship than the CPU board, but prices for either will be about the same.

The Mac SE/30 is a desired 'compact Mac' system, as it will support a relatively large amount of program memory in eight 30-pin SIMMS. There are also a number of expansion cards for the SE/30 for Ethernet networking or for external video monitors. Some people use them as printer servers or to run more advanced Mac software. Unfortunately, the SE/30 motherboards are failing due to age of capacitors which MUST be replaced. Even a working system today with original capacitors will fail over time. So, We are NOT SELLING SE/30 motherboards, until we can offer them with motherboard capacitors replaced or 'recapped'. We do not offer nonworking SE/30 motherboards. We won't sell a working one that is not satisfactorily repaired; it simply won't last long. For more information, research on the Web the problems I've described.

Mac SE/30, with RAM, HD (see below), 1.4M floppy, Shipping weight 30 lbs, with keyboard & mouse 35 lbs.

SE/30 logics (CPU cards, motherboards) are not available at this time, for reasons as described above.

Whereas it’s perfectly legal to prepare your own tinctures, tea blends, and salves to share with friends and family, you must follow regulations to sell your natural products or plant-based medicines in a retail or online setting.

The Herbalist For Mac Pro

THE US FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION (FDA) has a series of regulations in place that are designed to ensure that food, drug, and cosmetic (read: herbal) products are consistently produced and controlled according to quality standards. These regulations are known as the Current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMPs) and can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations Title 21 (21 CFR). (Note: You’ll often see the older term GMPs instead of cGMPs.) I’m going to begin with a little straight talk, because these regulations can make your head spin with all their acronyms and obtuse wording. Small herbal businesses all around the country have figured out how to be cGMP compliant, and so can you! As business coach Marie Forleo would say, it’s entirely figureoutable. Following the cGMPs will involve an initial investment of time and money: first, you’ll need to take a cGMP course, and then you need to develop your templates and procedure paperwork while making sure your facility is properly equipped. The paperwork is an ongoing task—you’ll be documenting every little step of your manufacturing process (the cGMP paperwork takes a lot of time and needs to be accounted for in your pricing).

The Herbalist For Mac Os

If you decide that you don’t want to deal with the cGMPs, you can outsource production to a cGMP facility where the workers are trained in following the procedures. Some herbal companies are even providing their production facility with their own plant material—homegrown or gathered—for their products. If you do want to pursue cGMP compliance, I highly recommend finding a teacher who is familiar with the needs of a small herbal business. This is even more important if you’re going to be growing your own medicines or wildcrafting herbs, because you’ll have a whole other set of procedures for identification, harvesting, cleaning, and so forth. (Some of the courses on cGMPs are more geared toward businesses that are buying all of the raw plant material for their products.)

Though the primary aim of the cGMPs is to protect the consumer from contamination and adulteration, following them also provides some hard-won benefits for your business: compliance helps you maintain a high-integrity work environment, ensures that your products are consistently what they claim to be, and limits liability.

The Herbalist 1934

Compliance with the cGMPs often feels overwhelming to small business owners, and many have simply chosen to close their doors or outsource production to larger facilities. Our advice is to shoulder the task of compliance if owning an herbal products business is your dream; it is entirely possible to learn the ins and outs of the regulations—just keep in mind that it will involve lots of time and paperwork. Download our FREE 100-page eBook How to Start Your Herbal Career: The Ultimate Guide for Budding Herbalists for more resources, including where to find courses on cGMP compliance.

What Kind of Facility Do I Need to Be cGMP Compliant?

Dietary supplements have more stringent production and quality-control regulations to follow as compared to food production and, therefore, must be produced in a cGMP-compliant production facility approved for dietary supplements. Depending on where you live, this may or may not include your home (most states do not allow the production of dietary supplements at home), a shared-use commercial kitchen facility (a rentable space for small business), your own production facility, or a restaurant or other food establishment in which you work. While the FDA determines what is required within a facility to make it safe, your local and state rules have the final say as to where you are legally allowed to produce your product.

To learn more, contact your local and state Departments of Public Health and your state’s Department of Agriculture. In addition, the FDA’s Dietary Supplement FOODSAFE hotline (1-888-723-3366) is an excellent source of information.

Labeling Cosmetics and Dietary Supplements Guidelines for the US

Product labels are representative of both your personal aesthetic and the information you are required to provide to consumers. For those following the FDA guidelines in the United States, there is a hefty body of material to help you from start to finish. Here, we’ll refer you to links that will answer questions about the complexities, including text size and formatting.

Herbal products can only be labeled organic if the entire product (or at least 95% of its ingredients) has been certified organic by the National Organic Program (NOP). In this case, the “organic” label and the USDA organic seal can be used on the principal display panel of the product. Otherwise, any certified organic ingredients can be identified in the ingredients list on the product’s information panel. For more information on organic labeling, see the USDA Organic Labeling Standards. To learn more about becoming a certified organic farm or retailer, see this guide to USDA Organic Certification and Accreditation.
