Well, spanking it, dropping it and tapping it gently with a sledgehammer didn't help. Salvation came in the form of a PB160 with a bad screen that generously donated its hard…

I have two 150's here that have entire sections of the screens dead. They partially work, but those dead areas make it impossible to really use them. Click to expand... I have …

I don't know if an emulator might work. Hal said he thought it wouldn't wouldn't. A few years back I did try two of the more popular emulators with no success. And I have been told…

I have a ton of old Thinkpads with great screens from the mid 1990's, yet a few newer with some pink or dead bulbs. If I had to guess I think the older smaller screens had bulbs th…

I saw in an older thread that you worked with Gamba on the IIfx also. Click to expand... All I recall is discussing the IIfx ROM with him. It's possible I've forgotten, but as…

I'm not sure which "look" I prefer. I mostly used Apple with monochrome monitors, so I recall the spacing. However, when using Apple2Forever, the large gaps detract some from the…

Also in those machines, you can't run any of the good versions of OS X because of the CPU soldered to the motherboard. OS X can't see any CPU installed beyond the one onboard on th…

The "visible scan lines" on most emulators are overblown, and in general I keep effects like that turned *off*. First off old monitors, especially color monitors, tended to have b…

the monochrome monitor II does, its just a ntsc mono screen with a heavy shadow mask so the pixels wont bleed together giving the appearance of sharp text

they make Y connectors so you could plug it into your hard disk Click to expand... Every fan I have ever bought has come with one. And screws too.

I just swapped in a 6500/250 in my 6360 a few years back. Makes one heck of a "bookshelf server," replacing my old SE/30. The Apple TV card + remote was just an added bonus!

The AppleColor monitor for the IIgs does not have distinctly separate scan lines.

I seem to remember the old Apple monitors having visibly separated scan lines. Can anyone confirm? The thrust of my question is to determine if A2like or Apple2Forever is a bette…

Yes, the IIsi is also a great machine. I rescued mine from being scrapped at recycling event. It has been a great machine. Click to expand... Nice save! Mine wasn't quite as fr…

The links I found seem to indicate you can run it from inside an emulated Apple, if it can access the serial ports. Maybe a IIe PDS card even? BTW, you've inspired me to do somet…

yes some did have fans buried deep in them, but aside from the first couple generations, I couldn't tell you which ones and they still ran quite warm, at the time I figured where i…

I had an old pc case fan in my 350MHz iMac G3. I pulled off the connector and stuck the two wires into the positive and negative of the hard drive power plug and just jammed the th…

Datasheet for the M5M27C101JK is here:http://www.io.com/~trag/DataSheet I thought I had it on my archive drive. I have a last modified date of 2003 on it. I think we're coveri…

TjJazer, Try rebooting the SE/30 off of the floppy drive. Then run Disk First Aid or Apple SC HD Setup or some type of equivalent hard drive utility program. We just need to che…

I have a 700mhz slot load and it gets extremely hot. The problem with adding a fan is where do you draw power from? Are there any extra pigtails coming off the power supply? I woul…

Alright. Found an Adaptec 39160 at work and will give this a try.

You can gently slide out the analog board of it's notches (remove ~ 2 screws on the outside) and not have to take the whole thing out; this will give you access to the elusive scre…

I recall certain hard disk formatting tools let you specify a wait state/delay in the system boot process to allow a disk to spin up; perhaps check out FWB toolkit first. JB
