I wish Li-Ion batteries were possible for the 1400...sigh.

IIRC they are, but you'd need to hack the 1400 somehow so it wouldn't try to charge them (or just …

I have the wireless cards...you can text surf (using WannaBe) and pull up the low-demand BBC website, that's about all I can do without pulling my hair out. But it was fun to get w…

I saw in an older thread that you worked with Gamba on the IIfx also.

All I recall is discussing the IIfx ROM with him. It's possible I've forgotten, but as…
I'm not sure which "look" I prefer. I mostly used Apple with monochrome monitors, so I recall the spacing. However, when using Apple2Forever, the large gaps detract some from the…

Also in those machines, you can't run any of the good versions of OS X because of the CPU soldered to the motherboard. OS X can't see any CPU installed beyond the one onboard on th…
The "visible scan lines" on most emulators are overblown, and in general I keep effects like that turned *off*.
First off old monitors, especially color monitors, tended to have b…
the monochrome monitor II does, its just a ntsc mono screen with a heavy shadow mask so the pixels wont bleed together giving the appearance of sharp text
I just swapped in a 6500/250 in my 6360 a few years back. Makes one heck of a "bookshelf server," replacing my old SE/30.
The Apple TV card + remote was just an added bonus!

I seem to remember the old Apple monitors having visibly separated scan lines. Can anyone confirm?
The thrust of my question is to determine if A2like or Apple2Forever is a bette…

Yes, the IIsi is also a great machine. I rescued mine from being scrapped at recycling event. It has been a great machine.

The links I found seem to indicate you can run it from inside an emulated Apple, if it can access the serial ports. Maybe a IIe PDS card even?
BTW, you've inspired me to do somet…
yes some did have fans buried deep in them, but aside from the first couple generations, I couldn't tell you which ones
and they still ran quite warm, at the time I figured where i…
I had an old pc case fan in my 350MHz iMac G3. I pulled off the connector and stuck the two wires into the positive and negative of the hard drive power plug and just jammed the th…

Datasheet for the M5M27C101JK is here:http://www.io.com/~trag/DataSheet

Is that one of the original Apple batteries or one of the aftermarket ones? That is really good runtime, either way! I have found that my VST aftermarket ones can't use battery rec…

I have a 700mhz slot load and it gets extremely hot. The problem with adding a fan is where do you draw power from? Are there any extra pigtails coming off the power supply? I woul…
You can gently slide out the analog board of it's notches (remove ~ 2 screws on the outside) and not have to take the whole thing out; this will give you access to the elusive scre…
I recall certain hard disk formatting tools let you specify a wait state/delay in the system boot process to allow a disk to spin up; perhaps check out FWB toolkit first.

The c screen is so much better than the cs.

I've got half a dozen G3 iMacs still in regular use and they all get quite warm to the touch -- never had any problems other than 1 dead HDD, so my guess is that the convection coo…
I opened up a bondi blue iMac about a year ago and found that there was a fan hidden deep inside of it, which surprised me.
