I have just landed one with hard drive controller issues, downgraded and the b/w is back to normal! Lovely how the legacy keyboard gets used plus a working narrow scsi in 10.4.11! …

... Can't put a price on the nostalgia we get from using old Apple gear ... I just enjoy using the older stuff sometimes, and do everything I can to speed them up and make them mor…

Great, thanks. So, suppose I have one of those sets of three different cables attached together? So it's red, yellow, and white on both ends, and they're separate cables, just glu…

If you have a cable that has one connector on one end, and three on the other; then it's the wrong cable. The cable you want is properly titled an "RCA connector to RCA connector"…

A mod should move this to the Apple II forum?...

As long as it looks like it's composite, it'll work.

Ah, the IIc. I need to do get mine out.

Ya, running from a PC Card slot can be a great solution... however, if your machine is not cardbus compliant, the 16 bit data path will slow everything down. If you can, get an Ex…

Hi, thanks for your answer, although I was actually referring to the kind where it's one connector on one end, and a three-way connector on the other end...oh well. And anyway,…

All composite cables are the same. A red-red one will work or a white-white or a chartreuse-chartreuse.

I have an Apple IIc, and a power supply is on the way. Now all I need is a composite video cable in order to hook it up to my TV. Just wondering...does it have to be the type wit…

Freudling: The encouragement is appreciated. I did not try the tactic of formatting and software installation prior to putting the IDE-CF adapter and card in the machine. No doubt…

So far it has surprised me by keeping the date and time after being put to sleep and disconnecting the power. Now if I can get these hinges fixed.... I guess the ones from a lomba…

The G3/400 uprade is probably the second best thing that can happen to any PB1400, just after being equipped with a TFT screen. If asked to spend 200 bucks to pimp a 1400c, I woul…

Just in case I am keeping it plugged in without the main battery. This evening will be 24 hours, but I'm suspecting it's really dead.

Checked my website, and here is what it says: Yes. 4 upgrade chips were made for the 500 series PowerBooks. Newer Technologies made 3 upgrade chips for the 500 series PowerBooks (…

beachycove: Giving up so soon? I have installed a CF Card in a 5300ce and a 1400c with the addonics CF-ATA adapter and after 6 months of use on each, no problems. Now, I know th…

Makes sense to me... Can't put a price on the nostalgia we get from using old Apple gear. Riddle me this... does it make sense for me to occasionally do book research on my PowerB…

Had a horrible time trying to find out what was wrong with it only to discover after a lot of messing about it was my us/uk adapter had died for the charger so the battery was just…

Very interesting...I suppose if the voltage is correct it may work though. I know this is somewhat off-topic, but since car batteries have been brought up, does anyone know of a g…

I've heard you can run a IIc off a 12v car battery...just a thought. Click to expand... Umm...no, I think I'll pass on that one.
