If you have the money, get both. The ][+ is a nice machine. I'd get it just because it's a complete system, and even if it doesn't come with software, you can easily get it from th…

A IIe will run almost everything that runs on a II+, and almost all cards. Click to expand... The thing I like about the IIe, especially the platinum one, is that it's got the …

A IIc will run almost everything that runs on a II+, but no cards. A IIe will run almost everything that runs on a II+, and almost all cards. All three will fit in a small space …

II+ units are a bit rare though so I might consider picking it up as well... Click to expand... You'll see. Once you get the bug, you'll never quit collecting. Start cleaning…

Yeah I was surprised it worked here - the Ames & Des Moines craigslists are really quiet compared to larger cities. Humm I'm thinking of the IIc since reading this thread:…

Keep in mind that you'll want something modern to complement the II+. A GS does nicely, since you can network it right up to the latest G3 (or any other Mac with a serial port), an…

My thoughts are: Wow, craigslist actually worked for you? Every time I look, it is full of spam. And when I posted Wanted ads on there, the only response I got was some spam into m…

I posted an AD on craigslist for an Apple II system. So far I have 2 responses. 1) A nice looking Apple II+ with 2 5.25 disk drives, and a monitor. The person said "make me an off…

you did not say you wanted it permanent. I just looked at my old post and saw that I did not say place the magnet "on the trackpad". That is how I have my working without a case,…

Go into System Preferences, click on Spotlight, then click on the Privacy tab and drag your hard drive to the list. It stop indexing forever with that hard drive. Also making Spotl…

Yep, same reason I use it. I much prefer pre-spotlight searches, too bad there's no way to get those back. Click to expand... I don't use Spotlight, it seems to give me too muc…

I figured this out! For anyone with this problem in the future: there is a magnetic reed switch between the hard drive and touch pad on a ribbon cable. I cut a sliver off a flat…

Problem solved. I just installed Panther on the system and it boots past the upset screen I saw when on Jaguar. Very odd behavior as the last time I used Jaguar was on my Pismo (di…

I only use spotlight to search for programs. thats all its good for.

I think you guys may be right about a dud disk (THANKS Apple... actually I got it as a promo so it was technically free). But with the RAM, I still need RAM chips, I know I need to…

Yep, same reason I use it. I much prefer pre-spotlight searches, too bad there's no way to get those back. I don't remember any real hit in performance after upgrading from 10.3 …

Sounds like a bad disc. Try Tiger. It runs fine on my Pismo. Click to expand... I use Tiger because it supports modern things. [] ]'>

Sounds like a bad disc. Try Tiger. It runs fine on my Pismo.

This is absolutely weird! I think maybe it IS the RAM because I just tried installing Jaguar 10.2.4 on ANOTHER Pismo this time with less RAM (64 MB) and it still does the video thi…

Clean the disk too for chits and giggles.

Here's a question. Has the L2 cache died on the processor card? See if you can get a utility that allows you to test it. It may be that the Cache died. Also, when bootin, hold d…

Well... strange! Two questions: - Is your Jaguar CD fine? Have you tested it in another machine? - Would another version of Mac OS X boot? Panther or Tiger?

I've no idea the quality of the RAM but I removed the RAM chip and to my dismay it wouldn't even boot the Jaguar installer disc.... The HD is 10GB not that big, ever hear of this …

What size is the hard drive?
