Ha! my old thread bounced back to near the top! At first glance my board looked clean albeit dusty. When I removed the board and dusted it off and held it to the bright light I c…

Capacitors can still go bad without leaking. They are very likely to be the problem. There is also a slight chance that the sound output port is dirty. I'm pretty sure that ther…

Hi Dennis, Yes, the IIci boots and works just fine. The only thing AWOL is the sound. I've inspected the motherboard and see no evidence of leaking caps. As long as it works, I'll…

All it needs is new capacitors on the logic board (permanent fix). At least wash the logic board (temporary fix), it might work. We have tutorials around here on how to do those …

I'm packing up to move at the end of the month and have decided to lighten it up this time. In the back of a pile of junk (where does it accumulate from? LOL!) I dug up my IIci. It…

Thank you so much!

The best thing to purchase is a universal power adapter. These have a few different plugs and allow for the voltage to be set to many different settings. I've used one of these to …

I wish I could help with a picture or something, but most of my stuff is in storage in central Illinois, and I'm in England. However, if memory serves, it required 19vDC, 2A. Ther…

There are rumours that the Sonnet 7200/4400 G3 upgrade - that actually goes into a PCI slot - has been made to work in other machines. IIRC, someone on the 6400zone forums got it …

Do you know the voltage/can you post a picture of your power cord? I think it would work, but I really don't know if the power cord I have will work with it. also, is there a pram…

All I know is that often, old clones like that relied on ROMs pulled from donor Macs (ROMs couldn't be purchased individually or legally cloned) in an interesting arrangement: they…

I have a 3000 series with a 68EC030 on an SE ROM, but I think I shorted out the logic board when I tried replacing the failing hard drive years ago (it won't go past the initial ka…

I think a lot of Passport software used dastardly copy protection... I tried to crack - er liberate - a few but had no luck. Don't think I have TurboTrax hidden anywhere though

Was checking 8bit sound and fury and alas even they don't have the Passport TurboTrax software I need for my lovely Wenger (Passport) Soundchaser system. I have the ever annoying …

Most of the software is already posted on 8-bit Sound and Fury website. Is there a particular archive where this should be?

There's a bit of renewed activity on the comp.sys.apple2 newsgroup on the AlphaSyntauri and Soundchaser systems It would be wonderful to have the full set of demos songs &…

that red LED might be normal. I never seen one of these laptops, so i dont know for sure though. but i doubt you feel like tearing it all the way apart to find out if its a 2 legge…

Is there a power switch? If not, you might try the all four arrow keys thing that works on the Model 125. Hmmm. I think I have a 2000 at home, but I have never made time to lo…

Anyone know for sure what that glyph over the red light means as a status indicator? I had a laptop from the early 90's that had a status light with a similar glyph, if it was red…

http://www.flickr.com/photos/43519791@N02/sets/72157622451600017/ thats the correct link to the pictures. It is the notebook (model 2000 i think), and I still have not been able t…

Probably way too late... And the link above doesn't work. But if it's a Laptop Model 125, you hold down the four arrow keys simultaneously. However, the keyboard has its own bat…

For the record, the first Mac to use ATAPI optical drives was the LPX-40/Tanzania motherboard design used in the 4400 and Mac clones.

You can certainly use DVD-RAM with old 68k Macs... I was doing it for years as a backup medium for my SE/30. You need "DVD-RAM Tune-Up" which is abandonware (and very hard to find…

I posted it on Macintosh Garden some time ago. It should still be there.
