No. The Plus' Agency label is centered and the port indent area is double in height. Apple did that on the Plus to allow third party connectors which the original design forced App…

That's a Plus rear bucket that's had the 512Ke labels stuck on it, no?

Hold on a tick, how exactly did they modify the port area? It looks custom to the Plus layout and doesn't look like the usual kludged together kind of mod. I don't think I have see…

I've gotten deals before.

If $35 exceeds one's budget for a vintage Mac, EBAY is certainly not the place to be shopping! I paid $25 plus shipping in the past simply for 128k ROMs pulled from a Mac Plus log…

Well, it went over my budget. I may want a //c mouse, but not *THAT* badly.

A subject of some humorous debate on Cubeowner.com. What is a Cube? Original? Certainly. Hot-rodded? Those who have a "daily driver" cube have all hopped up the CPU and GPU, instal…

I have no intention whatsoever to bid on it, nor did I post that to encourage anyone here to bid on it. I was merely using it as an example when talking about the overuse of the w…

JDW, that auction is interesting... It's not TOO far from me (~160 mi,) so I think I'll bid on it. (And so we don't get into a bidding war, I bid an amount that will make price+s…

When I spotted this Mac 512ke auction, I couldn't help but remember this thread. The seller is basically selling a Mac Plus but he is pitching it heavily as a 512ke because he fee…

8.6 and 9 are almost identical. I recommend using 8.6 if it's less crashy. It can do almost anything 9 can do.

For those 68k diehards that see this and think that I've sacrificed the authenticity of this logic board by removing the original PROMs and installing newfangled socketed PLCC Flas…

but there was never really a call for a dual-floppy LC since most color software took up more than one 1.4MB disk, especially those that came out right after the LC was released. …

UPDATE I have acquired some PLCC-32 to DIP-32 adapters and installed them in place of the onboard ROMs of this Mac IIci. { "lightbox_close": "Close", "lightbox_next":…

If you just want a functional compact Mac, then you would be better to get a 512k or 512ke motherboard until you can manage to get your hands on a 128k motherboard. The 128k is a v…

It's my understanding that the SegmentLoader only read program segments FROM the floppy disk, and didn't write them back to the disk. Is that true? Click to expand... Usually s…

I have to say that it will be a lot of work to get that board back to original condition or at least functionally original. The missing chips will have to be found and if the RAM o…

With 128K the OS is forced to swap out program segments to the 400K floppy, and it is SLOW! Click to expand... It's my understanding that the SegmentLoader only read program se…

To get the board to work (as 128K) you need to plug 74LS244s into the 2 big sockets, and resistor packs into RP2 and RP3. The resistor packs need to be 10 pins each with 5 individu…

Now as you can see from the pictures, there are two chips missing/removed from the mobo. My question is, can i still start(power on) this mac without the MacMemory RAM board? ... D…

Your Mac shows 512K because it has the original 64K ROMs most likely. You actually have 1.5MB of RAM installed, it looks like. The mobo RAM chips have probably been replaced upgrad…

I have some spare 64K ROMs from dead boards, I should give it a go. Surely it couldn't damage anything? Click to expand... It ought to be safe. The 64K ROMs will only recognize…

I believe this details the procedure: http://68kmla.org/files/classicmac2.pdf I have no idea if the 128K SIMMs work with any Mac. Click to expand... Now if only you had…
