It doesn't damage the plastic in any way?

It is only when switching it on or off. Also, the sound always works fine.

There's always the olde MacChimney approach, too. Click to expand... { "lightbox_close": "Close", "lightbox_next": "Next", "lightbox_previous": "Previous", …

The Mac II had an external 5.25" floppy drive option, which uses a NuBus card. So a Mac II can have 3 with that option. I'm not sure what happens if you try to hook up more than …

Might just be the CRT

I like the SE/30's Secret identity.

Heh, I have a Dell 23" LCD, and it weighs nothing compared to most 14" CRTs, even the Macintosh Colour Display (which is pretty light for a CRT, I have to admit) Its funny to thin…

I believe it was possible to daisy chain a Hard Disk 20 with a floppy drive. On just the right Mac, you could maybe hook up 4 floppy "devices". Unless you can chain multiple hard…

I''ve found 409 to work on any plastic surface. The dirtier it is, the longer you simply need to leave the 409 on it. I've even used 409 on wooden tables that have pen marks (bal…

Welcome, and good job getting the LCIII up and going. Best of luck getting that SE/30 up!

Whenever I switch my Macintosh SE FDHD on or off, there is a static pip. Does anyone know why?

I'll have to try 409 sometime. Would it work on the plastic of a slot-loading iMac as well?

Welcome, comrade! Which weighs more, the III or the monitor? )

Welcome to the 68kMLA! Great job breathing new life into the LC III. Your next project should be a fun one. Good luck and keep us updated!

Yep, you're correct. The max number of drives you can get on a Mac is three. Two internal (SE only?) and one external. Tempest Click to expand... The SE, the LC, the full-s…

Glad to hear! That drove me crazy for weeks. By the time I thought I knew for certain what it was, the 30 day Windows eXtra Poop activation grace period was up, so I had to reinsta…

It worked! I can boot system 7.5 off of the ssd now. Fantastic. It's a bit pain having to have about 800000 partitions though.

Interesting point about the nature of the HD, it is a non-original HD, it's a 500 MB drive. I originally thought it was an 80 MB when I got it but then I realized it had two hidden…
