the 7.5 nad worked fine before. the problem is NONE of my bootdisks are working: an old 7.5nad (system error) the new one (bus error) the 7.6 disk tools disk (happy mac, then back …

My current recommendation is to contact Apple and elevate the issue to a supervisor. The supervisor will almost certainly give you a free repair. Capacitor replacement is no longer…

Just try a different boot disk (i.e SuperBooter 7.5)

You fixed a bus error by washing the mobo? how would I go about washing the mobo?

As I've said in another thread here recently, I used to get this a lot with an LC 575...washing the motherboard took care of the problem. It could be cap related, or any number of …

I just wrote a System 7.5 NAD floppy to complete the OS 8 on LC III hack, anjd was gretted with "Sorry, a system error occurred. bus error to temoporarly turn off" blah blah blah..…

Any good old fashioned TV repair person could do it - you don't necessarily need someone who knows computers, you just need someone handy with a soldering iron and a good collectio…

This is my favorite PPC machine, hands down. I affectionately call mine weirdway. I even used it as a sever for a bit. NetBSD & Linux run like a charm [as does OS9 &amp…

I can't remember the name of it... but I remember seeing someone's home-brew video compression scheme for some type of 8-bit computer (can't remember if it was the Apple II, C64, e…

Now that's going to be *very* useful! Thanks for the tip.

That's a good backup option. Click to expand... And if you end up doing that, which I think you will have to, even with Quicktime due to the 1-bit dithering, you might want to …

You can forget mpeg or anything else that requires decompression on the fly. Uncompressed 1 bit 512x384 stills shouldn't take too much space - just store them as a sequence of ima…

So I've come up with some animation software from the Plus era. It's called Hayden VideoWorks and seemed to have been pretty popular and well reviewed. There were several others as…

heat is actually the main issue with that setup, with the SE case being nearly hermetic, and the Mini's fan having to do all the job. Click to expand... I took another look at …

Some more thoughts about the airflow in a SE's case: I built my Macminitosh putting a Mac Mini inside a SE case. And heat is actually the main issue with that setup, with the SE ca…

Now just for shits, grins and giggles wouldn't it be interesting to take the empty Mac Mini case and see if the Disk II innards would fit in it to turn that into an Apple II drive?…
