An Apple IIc LCD popped up on there a while back - cheap - the auction ended early for around $150 I reckon. I wouldn't be surprised if this is the very same one with a highly inf…

The PRAM battery in pismos is rechargeable. It recharges after the main battery is full. It should be possible to operate with a dead PRAM battery.

Anyone know where one can find manuals.
I just picked up a PISMO and would like to have a user manual and/or a repair manual. It has a dead main battery and the pram has been dis…

In OS X DP3 it was still possible to delete the Aqua theme file, the OS changed to Platinum if you did it.

All I need to do is find a copy of Mac OS X Server 1.2 or Mac OS X Server 10.4.
