three cables in a Macintosh XL — #14

I need to find photos, if I have any, of my sold Mac XL. I am starting to think it had that spare cable too now. But its been so long.

three cables in a Macintosh XL — #13

The sticker on the case says A6S0300P  Thats why I call it a Macintosh XL. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compact_Macintosh I find it complicated these names.....

three cables in a Macintosh XL — #12

The two 26 pin ribbon cables are for the upper and lower twiggy drives, these cables have both data and power in them.  The other 3 wire plug is for nothing, Apple never used this …

three cables in a Macintosh XL — #8

The Apple part number may be different on the label, I don't know if it is or what is should be to indicate a 2/10. The normal differences that I look for to indicate a Lisa 2/10 …

three cables in a Macintosh XL — #6

1st of all you don't have a Macintosh XL (AKA a Lisa2/10), you have an original Lisa ( Lisa 1 or converted Lisa 2).  The two 26 pin ribbon cables are for the upper and lower twiggy…

PowerBook 190 strange behavior — #6

Too bad you "HAD" that 5300, Bibilit. Not only is there problems with the power connection on the 190/5300 but sometimes when the battery leaks, the PSU Area (under the trackpad) i…

three cables in a Macintosh XL — #5

You're missing the Widget's power harness. That three pin power cable is for a Twiggy floppy drive and indicates that your Lisa did not start out originally as a Lisa 2/10 or an XL…

Fairly sure the pad repair is beyond my skill level.  Tried a bit tonight.  I'll have to clean it before/if I try again.
