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.

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 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…

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…
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 …
Yea actually, 384 MB to be exact...any ideas on what's going on?
Reason is I want to update to Jaguar so I can use a USB Wireless (have one lying around) thought it'd be neat, nif…
Thing is, years ago, Jaguar worked fine on my Pismo (before it got stolen) so I'm stumped...is this a hardware issue? Hard drive issue? Compatibility issue?

These forums are so great for help so here's a dilly of a pickle:
I have a Pismo that I just got and initialized the HD and zeroed all data. I have a retail copy of Jaguar which I…
It might. I don't know what the + designates but here's some specs for the regular model.

I have a Power R video adapter that is for the Mac II and LC. I have a IIGS ROM 3 that is using an old color monitor IIe and was wondering if I can use this adapter to connect a VG…

I used a "molex" power connector to power up mine, which was very simple to wire up - and you could use either an ATX or AT power supply for this.
