So I got this DuoDisk off ebay for cheap. It needs 2 new rubber feet and a great cleaing but I really wanted one for my II's. I need to make some tables to set up my man cave soon. I just have kind of run out of space to use alot of what I have.

here is my question, the cable can you just use a standard cable from the DuoDisk to the II?

Needs to be a DB-19 on both ends. That is, unless you want to run one drive at a time. Unfortunately, never got cables with the DuoDisk I still have, nor the one that CelGen modded...

Thank you Volvo.

Ok the Duo showed up. I'm gonna use non manly words as its the only way to describe it. It's such a thin dainty little cute thing. Top screen is thin a flimsy, and its so tiny. I like it.

Now once I meet up with freak and get that dock ill be extra happy with it. With a rocket in it I'm sure it will be pretty useable for me.

Someoneasked ages ago for me to post this and I totally forgot. So for all I ever said I would do something and forgot, please remind me. I am not gonna lie I get sidetracked due to a tramatic brain injury. I write alot of stuff down but for that reason there is so much written down I never look at it. I think I am pretty caught up except for this at the moment.

Its Painter 2.0 in a paint can.

So today is a busy day. Trying to give a home to a G4 quicksilver and an LC475, nabbed a free IIgs CPU, no idea what rom with bad caps but a fully populated memory card (apple). Stopped at free geek picked up a nice looking 5300cs , no battery cover , no hard drive or power supply, with two apple mouse pads for 10 dollars. With meeting freak to get the duo dock its going to be a blast today. Also free geek is having a sale from noon to 4 on Saturday (tomorrow April 6) and it looks like its gonna be a Mac clear out day.

Well the IIe I picked up needs a new keyboard because some of the posts are broke and the classic II needs recapping but it looks like I have each type of compact. Now it's time to bud tables and clean clean clean!!!!

Went to Goodwill in aloha yesterday and found a IBM thinkpad pentium 3 with dock, I need a power supply but it was a dollar in weight so I figured it would be fun to set up next to the duo for looks. Also found a non working ipod video 30 gb. I took it apart cleaned the yuck out of the connector, reseated all the cables (first clue was low battery message) put it back together, reset to factory from computer and loaded it up. Very nice over all for a few dollars. Funny goodwill wont sell computers with hard drive but they sell old phones with sim cards and ipods with hard drives lol.

Well did a craigslist search and picked up a 6400 motherboard with NIC and G3 upgrade, and a G4 PowerBook that was listed as totally broken for twenty a piece. Haven't had time to get the drivers for the G3 card but the totally broken G4 booted right up, go figure they don't like dead batteries ........ Just need a comma key for a 1.67 ghz G4 PowerBook if anyone has a parts keyboard.

Ok Got my seat cushion today. Yes its an Apple.

My real first part of memorabilia I think. Saw them on ebay for 200, got mine locally for about twenty. He was about to just give it to me but i figured I better give him something. Gonna have him send me his story on how he got it and any history behind it. Since I was a freshman in high school when it took place.

I got old franken duo today, works very well .

He is a good person and I am glad I got to talk to him about the cushion also. Makes having it that much more interesting.

Stories and history of the items are salt in this hobby for sure.
