Well, I was searching ebay and actually found another 6100 DOS compatible. The opening bid was 99 cents so I bid it and won. The shipping was a bit high but not more than I would h…

Yes I desperately need one for my IIfx. I'll send you a PM. Tempest

Gottcha. Well I went to work on it today (finally), and the machine is dead. I always kept the computer in sleep mode while I was logged in and the computer was locked, and apparen…

Tempest, Would you be looking for a black terminator? A couple of days ago, I found my old one (got rid of the IIfx some time ago). John

According to the hard drives article (page 120) in December 1990 MacUser, "the Mac IIfx differs from previous Macs in that it requires so-called black terminators with built-in fil…

It would appear that both power supplies are good, and the 3rd power supply that Tempest sent is good as well. This is the one that tested bad before. I'm thinking that the bad c…

I use the AA and AAA lithium which are usually around 1.55 volts when new.

I recently got a Newton 2100 and love it. The screen size, battery life, backlight, and handwriting recognition are all amazing. The only problem is that I seem to be facing a boot…

Note that there are three different PDS right angle adapters for the 6100: 601 PDS -> PDS passthrough for AV and HPV video cards. The Sonnet G3 upgrade also presents a 60…

Would I have to solder the wires to the existing battery socket? If I could attach the wires without soldering, that would be better. Click to expand... In the case of machines…

I dont have a problem with buying batteries online, but only from certain trusted places, random google hits and ebay are just too loaded with half battery half led weight for me t…

Do I have to use surface mount capacitors? Or could I use one that's the same rating, but just solder the wires to the pads? My hands shake too much and I have the hardest time t…

Now all I need is the actual card and angle adapter for my 6100 Click to expand... I might have a spare 6100 PDS adapter in the garage somewhere. The card can befound easily en…

I wouldn't mind images of the disks (except the DOS 6.22 and laserwriter ones) if you don't mind. Would be nice to have for my 6100 DOS machine. I think I have the manuals, just n…

I got a brand new SAFT 3.6V lithium online for a good price. My multimeter shows its perfectly good.

Tempest and I made an agreement for him to send me 2 broken Mac II's (one somewhat gutted) in exchange for repair and recap of his IIfx logic board. I basically paid to have the s…

Two say Macintosh display drivers 1&2, one just says 'Mouse' which I am going to guess is either a MS mouse driver or allows DOS to recognize the ADB mouse, one that says S…

Yeah, recapping is pretty simple, just that there are SO MANY capacitors. I count 13 that I replaced with 47uF tantalums. Also, these are original Mac IIs, so they don't have a R…

Wow, I'd almost be tempted to leave it sealed!

What floppies are included in that set? Can you make images?

They could go bad sitting on the shelf, but probably not if kept in a cool environment. Good luck with it. LC motherboards are pretty easy to recap, I still have a LC 3 I did if a…

I've had such rotten luck with getting a working LC motherboard, that if this doesn't work, nothing will. I call this a super conquest for me, even at $25. :beige:

That did the trick! Thanks a lot!
