Was checking 8bit sound and fury and alas even they don't have the Passport TurboTrax software I need for my lovely Wenger (Passport) Soundchaser system. I have the ever annoying …

Most of the software is already posted on 8-bit Sound and Fury website. Is there a particular archive where this should be?

There's a bit of renewed activity on the comp.sys.apple2 newsgroup on the AlphaSyntauri and Soundchaser systems It would be wonderful to have the full set of demos songs &…

that red LED might be normal. I never seen one of these laptops, so i dont know for sure though. but i doubt you feel like tearing it all the way apart to find out if its a 2 legge…

Anyone know for sure what that glyph over the red light means as a status indicator? I had a laptop from the early 90's that had a status light with a similar glyph, if it was red…

Probably way too late... And the link above doesn't work. But if it's a Laptop Model 125, you hold down the four arrow keys simultaneously. However, the keyboard has its own bat…

For the record, the first Mac to use ATAPI optical drives was the LPX-40/Tanzania motherboard design used in the 4400 and Mac clones.

You can certainly use DVD-RAM with old 68k Macs... I was doing it for years as a backup medium for my SE/30. You need "DVD-RAM Tune-Up" which is abandonware (and very hard to find…

I posted it on Macintosh Garden some time ago. It should still be there.

do the LCs have the R/C filter network like the older SEs did?

Adding an ICS9178 is also how one converts the Turbo601/66 into a Turbo601/100 (well more like 90 to 96). Click to expand... So, You're the one behind the Turbo601/66 chipping…

I've blown one PAV assembly in a G3/600 from excessive heat. The machine still worked, but it took a while to build up the required charge for a successful illumination of the tube…
