Yay finally repaired my PB1400 — #7

I wish Li-Ion batteries were possible for the 1400...sigh. Click to expand... 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'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…

Upgrading Performa 6360 processor... — #7

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…

Upgrading Performa 6360 processor... — #6

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!

The AppleColor monitor for the IIgs does not have distinctly separate scan lines.

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…

Kurzweil K150fs - anybody use a ][ for SMP? — #5

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…

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…

Hard drive spin up, blank screen? — #2

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. JB
