Hi there. Meet my Macintosh Classic II. { "lightbox_close": "Close", "lightbox_next": "Next", "lightbox_previous": "Previous", "lightbox_error": "The requeste…

Well thats weird. Now all the keys are working. I'm happy, but still, I'm convinced there's a problem there somewhere. By the way, if there's one thing for sure, surfing the net o…

Ok, I'm actually typing this from the 180c now. The 6, 7 and 8 keys have actually come back to life. However, the t, y and , keys have now died. Any advice?

Update, my USB flash drives don't work in 8.6 and I get an error type 1010 trying to installing 9.2. But as of now I have 10.0 running and with 8.6 on a different partition. After …

The difference, if measurable, between CF and SATA on a polled I/O SCSI bus on a 16 MHz m68030 is going to be so insignificant as to be noise. Any CF (except perhaps the slowest, o…

...unless you are using a decent PowerMac, a CF card will not hamper you much. Click to expand... I don't want to be hampered at all. Indeed, I want a speed boost for reads an…

I suppose the SCSI bus is hindered by age, and by a dog-slow system bus. Click to expand... Very much so. These are not SE/30s and not SCSI but you get the idea. http://poopr.…

The Macintosh Bible is great too. I reread my 3rd edition recently and it gives me a nice warm nostalgiac feeling, of the days where there was enthusiasm and trepidation of the oft…

Thanks, Wally. I appreciate it. I'll just throw these in the random parts bin, and not keep them for Plus repair. I have a small supply of actual BU406s which I bought after t…

So I've recently dug out my PB180c for the retrochallenge, since I can't use the LCIII (with me not being able to get a 3G signal downstairs where said LCIII is and all). It works …

R26 is a fixed resistor, not a variable pot. 73s de Phreakout. :rambo:

Thank you so much it worked! I knew there is nothing wrong with my Apple IIgs. I knew it! I knew it is the best Apple II computer ever made my Apple, it beats all the other Apple I…

Yeah, I tend to agree. Re prices: It's been a while since I checked, and I forget how quickly computer related stuff gets cheaper.

As my first post said, I tried adjusting focus control - it did nothing. I will replace R26 as Trag told me: "R26 is a 1 M ohm, 1/2 watt 5% resistor on the analog board." But is…

You can get a 4 gig CF card for less than $15, or less than $20 for a fast one or a good brand. On the other hand, $27 is pretty good, especially considering the fact that you don'…

Thanks, I did a lot of looking, but I couldn't find anything that told what the standard was for IDE on the G3. I personally think the key pin is redundant as there is a key molded…

That sounds like one to keep an eye out for. Back when I bought my first Mac, I picked up (retail) a copy of Peachpit Press' Macintosh Bible (third or fourth edition?) That book …

Word of advice, apple techs are not allowed to share what they do on the interwebs. If apple finds out, instant fire from job I hear. Extremely strict on guidelines. Click to ex…

I experimented with the image a little bit. It looks like the disk trashes itself somewhat after you first play it, as far as I can tell. While AppleWin can continue to work with…

Hello, I really appreciate it if someone can help me get this game running on my Apple II gs. The URL link to download the page and see what the game is, right here: http://www.ro…

I pulled out my power supply to clean it up a bit underneath, and I decided I would try to add an 80 conductor cable to my G3. However, I found that the connector is slightly diffe…

I'm ruling out the ata bus's died.
