Okay... I will try another Keyboard and see if that works. I tried both ports and that didn't cure the problem. thanks for the input. Adam

Yep, you're correct. The max number of drives you can get on a Mac is three. Two internal (SE only?) and one external. Tempest Click to expand... The SE, the LC, the full-s…

And the plastics of the machines are mostly excellent - even on the SE. Am I excited? You can tell I'm excited, can't you?

One full Dodge Grand Caravan load and one further half load later, I am well and truly stocked up on old Mac goodies - i.e., my Garage is a great deal more full of crap than it wa…

Glad to hear! That drove me crazy for weeks. By the time I thought I knew for certain what it was, the 30 day Windows eXtra Poop activation grace period was up, so I had to reinsta…

It worked! I can boot system 7.5 off of the ssd now. Fantastic. It's a bit pain having to have about 800000 partitions though.

Interesting point about the nature of the HD, it is a non-original HD, it's a 500 MB drive. I originally thought it was an 80 MB when I got it but then I realized it had two hidden…

Hello, I am new here. I am happy to join up with my many like-minded comrades. I wish I would have discovered this place earlier. Here is my latest restoration, my first one in a…

This is due to the HD giving off magnetic waves which piss off the CRT. Get an ESD cover for the HD or put an original HD in. Click to expand... This is NOT the problem. The CL…

Axiotronic is not certified by Apple AFAIK.

Even though you cleaned up the board and got it to boot, the capacitors on the motherboard are still bad and need to be replaced. Any electrical fluctuations will first show up in …

Looking at your pic, it seems clear that the vent holes are not at the highest part of the case, when the Mac is mounted at that angle. Would propping it forward such that the ven…

Sounds like quite the demo indeed! Keep your eye open for swap meets, Craigslist, and second-hand shops. I just bought a //e with disk drives for $20 from Goodwill. Click…

It could be a bad ADB connector. I had these on both sides of the IIgs keyboard I used with my SE/30. I resoldered the pads but still had problems. I then replaced the cable but…

I've noticed recently that whenever my Classic II accesses its HD the screen wobbles. As soon as the HD access stops the screen stabilizes. I have never seen anything like this bef…

Mine seemed awful hot too, so I added a fan at the top of the case blowing air out the handle holes. The fan doesn't fit flush, so the sides of the fan are sealed to the case with …

A bit of a switch, using the MIDI card as a serial interface. It was common to use a Super Serial card or a //c serial port as a MIDI interface by doing timing in software. I remem…

PCI. It's the last desktop machine released before the G3s.

I don't believe you can daisy chain floppy drives on the Mac. Like the eject button, the daisy chain port was included for the Apple II line. At one point Apple wanted a universal …

Lessay you are daisychaining floppy drives to the floppy port on your IIci. What is the maximum amount of drives you could possible daisychain?

Is this machine Nubus or PCI?

Yeah... I guess I didn't quite think about it like that. I was just surprised to see a Mac motherboard in such a device. The agreement between Apple and Acuson - according to the a…

I had never heard of Apple entering into agreements with companies to basically sell rebranded Apple hardware. Click to expand... Avid? Protools? Freestyle? Axiotronic Mod…
