I second this - hopefully we can find someone with enough spare time to scan the entire book.

How to write 400k disks on 90's 68k? — #19
As for dates, Apple sent us a prototype a few months before release. There were other developers who were seeded with prototypes much earlier.

How to write 400k disks on 90's 68k? — #18
I guess I'll have to dig the old Mac out of the closet and put the 64K ROMs back in it. I was under the impression that the 1.4 drives only worked with the SWIM chips, and didn't r…
How to write 400k disks on 90's 68k? — #17
It's been a while so my memory may be fuzzy, but I got my first Mac at work in Nov '83, and bought my own Mac in May '84. A bit later Apple came out with the first 3.5" Apple][ dri…

Classic II (my first 68k Mac and it's a compact!) — #14
The original Classic was released as part of a line-up which also included the LC and the IIsi. All three of the machines were intended for the low-budget market: Classic as the ch…

I find it odd how Apple went from expandable SE/SE30's to a Classic 2 with no expansion whatsoever.

Maybe stupid, but not odd. There's a simple explanation w…
How to write 400k disks on 90's 68k? — #15
A 128 can read & write to an 800K external drive. A 1.4 drive won't work. When I got my Mac in 1984, one of the first upgrades I made was to stick an 800K mechanism from an…

The two major issues with compacts is capacitors dying and screen burn/focus problems.

The Classic II is a great little unit. Very sleek looking for a basic box. Very usable for a lot of writing jobs. Adding a newer harddrive will speed things along. When you d…
PB100 & Cap Replacements Gold Mine over on 'fritter ... — #4
Well, I'VE got a PB100 trick up MY SLEEVE too!
It seems, in their infinite idiocy, that Epson left out support for the 68000 when they wrote the drivers for the original Epson Sty…

Washing them? Interesting. When I get it opened I'll take some pictures of the board and caps and let you guys see what they look like.
Yep the casing is in great condition (bar t…

Some of us think washing the little buggers a viable (if temporary) alternative to The Full re-capping Monty, but YMMV.
What version of 7 was on there? 7.0 should be snappy enough…

Urk so that's why I see so much re-capping talk. One more thing to look at when I get it opened then.

One problem I'm noticing is that the speaker will start crackling after a while. Volume goes down lower and eventually you can't even hear the startup chime. Loose wire maybe?

Not to mention putting the 68030 on a 16-bit bus.
I created a 6.0.8L disk set, initialized the hard disk and put on a lean install (Classic II System Software only, no printers) a…

1.) Why is the Classic II second class?
2.) To which Mac is it second class?

Apple Purposley hampered the RAM.
And it is second only to the venerable SE/30…

That's weird why someone removed the serial number. Anyway, have fun with your second-class Mac.

Perhaps what slomacuser meant was that Amazon "won't force sellers to ship outside the USA." That's really too bad. Amazon has control over sellers in many ways, and they could e…
