Mine's old enough that it doesn't have a hard drive, will System 6 run on floppies and if not it can boot from an external hard drive right?

+1 for getting a copy of 6... max1zzz has a mirror of the old now defunct unsupported software archive up on the web and you can find .sea files of the System 6 startup disk set he…

System 3 - Juliet Elysa? Damn... You should get System 6 and get more software for the Plus. A lot of things that will run on System 7 will on on System 6. 

plus is a great machine!

Highly likely I'd say... everything else Apple made in that era had cheap rubbish caps etc so I see no reason the Airport card would be an exception. lol

Aw, sorry to hear about the PowerBook. But congrats on finally finding a Plus! Especially a working one. I love mine, though I can't really do much on it due to a lack of softwa…

I had a few bad Macintosh Conquests lately.  From a local recycler I got a Powerbook 140 & a Macintosh IIcx which don't work.  The Powerbook is beyond help, the Macintosh I…

That is just plain weird. I've seen a lot of odd electronics, but never a chip-on-chip socket like that.

Could be a simple matter of protocol incompatibility, as there are a LOT of non-Apple routers on the market that Airport cards simply will not negotiate a connection with. Basicall…

Hi! My friend has a iMac G3 with the id Powermac4,1 with a Airport Card. When he is trying to connect to his wireless network he gets the error message: There was a error joining …

I think there's also a device you can buy just for doing low-level formats without the need of a ProFile card and special ROM.  I seem to recall seeing one on eBay.

Is this the chip which allows to low format a Profile ?

Could you explain a little bit where this is for?

I have tested all keys and there is no problem, I think that I have an oscillation due to a faulty component in the sound circuit.
