Inspired by many movies on the Internet about opening up a Lisa I decided to take of the top of my former Lisa. As maybe some older members know I acquired one some years ago. It i…

Bought myself an ATX power unit! Now studying the way to connect it.

Says out of stock but you can email and ask - I'd be pushy.  When I emailed about their 180mhz 3400c main board, they just said out of stock:  http://www.pchub.com/uph/laptop/344-2…

Very rare to find indeed. And I've heard...stuff...about the Newton Sales upgrade, so if I were in the market I'd try to find the Newertech part.

If I recall Newertech made some cards. But I have never seen them. My guess is that these may be a rare thing to find.

Just a quick question.. How can you upgrade the emate 300 memory.. I see an extra slot but not sure what is compatible with that slot... Anyone know what I should be looking for???…

Yes, the "autostart" ROM came later as one of the features of the Apple II Plus. The original Rev 0 Apple IIs just booted to a screen filled with garbage text, you had to push the…

i bet you and woz would have a good ol time!

I found the answer to my own question. Yes, installing the Disk II card would map 256 bytes of ROM on the card into the computer's address space at $C600. At that point, there were…

From what I've read, the first Apple II floppy drive (the Disk II) wasn't invented until about six months after the release of the Apple II - so the computer's ROM code wouldn't ha…

The same cable used on the Mac II to 13 inch color, LC to 12 inch color or b/w is the same cable for the IIgs. Make sure its the thick cable with all 15 pins on the heads. The thin…

Hello guys, I found a very nice IIgs with monitor and drives. I works great, but I can't connect it to the RGB screen as I don't have the proper cable. Does anyone have a spare t…

Super! Thanks very much for the power information. I will try to get an ATX power unit.

[Obviously that was partly off-topic but the same holds to the Restore CD.  Does the license with that software pass through the individual buyer or through the machine - can that …

Apparently the editing just expired.  [i actually missed your eBay suggestion - that's also part of my fascination - buying an almost certainly used copy... would that convey the l…

I understand why you'd think that this is piracy.  However, though the copyright office doesn't seem to have anything filed on System 7... (http://cocatalog.loc.gov/cgi-bin/Pwebrec…

Under the forum rules, links to pirated software are disallowed. If you were to search online for the installation media, you may find a way to buy it (on eBay or whatever) or a w…

<snip> On how to remove the PRAM battery - the connector to the power board is under the box/chassis the hard drive is in. The battery is glued under the speaker pan…

any docs on how to do so?

Also remove pram battery fast. Quick! Quick! If it leaks it's toast!!!!

I'd try and get my hands on the PowerBook 3400c 7.6 CD.

Hi. Now that I have started to use my 3400 on a more regular basis, I have been noticing many software problems; probably due to whatever the previous owner had installed/hacked w…

Durr, I totally never uploaded the pinout anywhere. Anyways, yeah. Even in a Lisa 2/5 all the voltage pins you need are present on the power supply. You just need to break them out…

You've actually made me think of a caveat to my 3400 source.  The original PRAM battery has a three-pronged connector, but the replacement suggestion has a 2-pronged connector.  (I…

Hmmm.... to be ugly, you could cut the wire in 1/2 and then splice a longer piece to it. Now, this may not work because the connectors wont probably match but you could try for a …
