8MB of RAM and 120MB HD sounds blissful from my 180's viewpoint. I agree, the screen is spectacular. When I was looking for a 180, I thought about the color model but did not like …

ADD? If it was a studio LCD with the composite and vga ports, get it. They are probably one of the most rare of all of the Apple screens.

Does the CRT have a lump-on-a-rope too? BLEEEECH!!!!!!!!! I may just avoid that Bondi Blue (?) POS I spotted in that case! Click to expand... AH I had a feeling you were t…

Although the drive may very well need to be cleaned, there hasn't been nearly enough troubleshooting to establish whether a dirty drive is his problem. Indeed, it might be argued t…

I'm rolling my honkin' big ADB Kensington Turbo Mouse trackball around with my fingertips and typing on my black Apple Extended Keyboard II, both attached to my new Cube via an iMa…

As I said in my first reply to this thread, I've found that 3-in-1 multipurpose oil or silicone grease work well. WD-40 is not a lubricant, and won't last long at all. White lithiu…

I moved to the nicest small town in NC and lost my storage room during my first hospitalization. Five years later I'm unpacking all the stuff that just happened to be in my apartme…

You mean like the one in the middle? Click to expand... BTW, NICE piccie, NICER Collection! I can't wait to see it on a monitor a tad bigger than 10.1" though. =8-\ Is that t…

I guess we still need more information. What model is your Mac? Is there a (working) hard drive, properly formatted with a valid system installed? If there is no boot volume, then …

I'm also livin' and lovin' the OS9/ADB lifestyle. I picked up a Rev. 2 B&W a year or so back and upgraded the heck out of it: maxed G3 CPU at 1.1GHz, maxed RAM (1 gig), and…

This summer I found a 7300 for $3, a 7600 for $6, and someone sent me a Mac IIfx as a thank-you for Boldt 24-Pack! The IIfx had a battery explode which has damaged a couple of tra…

Haha well thanks. Yes I assumed WD-40 is not the way to go. The cable is seated just fine and it seems as if everything else is working no problemo. I use a Roland JV-1010 as my …

Titaniums are a bit of a pain to remove the logic board, at least compared to newer Macs. I helped a friend transplant some guts of one Titanium to another and it took a lot of fid…

I'm using it for live performances with my band and I'm by no means and electronics or computer whiz, just a musician who's interest is sparked by things operating at the brink of …

You mean like the one in the middle? http://www.hurtley.info/Media/StudioDisplayssm.jpg click to enlarge I like mine. I have one of the original 'dark blue' ones (released with…

. . . that's about where I am right now. But I'm LOVIN' IT! Lots of OS 9 Software, LOTS of OS 9 Hardware, some Hardware/Vertical Market Software bundles w/ADB Dongles. So I've…

I've had the disk drive out, cleaned it, lubricated it, and it seems to know when there is a disk in the drive because it spits it out upon start up, unless that task is something …

I guess I'm used to forums that move a bit faster, I do apologize, I'm just very eager to get this setup working. I'm using it for live performances with my band and I'm by no mean…

No disk works in it at all, the drive doesn't even try to read it when I pop one in. I'm thinking that it is either fried or there is a weird problem relating to the logic board ne…

So if everything else on my machine is functioning as it should be, can I conclude that the floppy drive has indeed pooped the bed?

Well, I have 8MB and a 120MB HD, so I am not so restricted. I do like the machine. The screen is a thing of beauty (especially in a well lit area with the backlight off), and a fa…

Thanks beachycove and Byrd. The battery does not look to be leaking any fluids. In fact it looks like it just came out of factory shrink wrap. I'll try the battery revival remedies…

7) Use a floppy drive cleaning diskette/kit to clean the read/write heads of the drive. Although this can be done manually with rubbing alcohol on a cotton swab, it is safer to use…

Thanks for the advice. No disk works in it at all, the drive doesn't even try to read it when I pop one in. I'm thinking that it is either fried or there is a weird problem relati…
