You are going to give us Mac collectors a bad name! } Oh noes! Click to expand... What's wrong with poking around in the hard drive? Not only do I not care what's on it, if…

The printer is a LaserWriter Pro 600.

Very nice! I think you should just pop a new HD in it. It may cost too much to get that board. Click to expand... Without seeing what was on the drive? Where's the fun in that?…

I got an email from a person in my area who asked if I wanted an old "Performa type" computer, with large B&W office printer. He was located only 2 blocks from me, so of co…

Darn, I didn't think of that. It worked! Although I don't remember having to use an enabler in the past. :-/

To run 7.1 on an LC III you need a system enabler that's probably not on the installer disk but *is* on the disk tools disk. http://support.apple.com/kb/TA47341?viewlocale=en_US

After my LC III sat unused for a few months, which had/has bad caps. So I removed the ROM's and washed the board. I probably screwed something up by putting the ROM's in the wrong …

I don't know if it's a case of too many contestants or too few voters, but we seem to have ended up with no less than five RetroChallengers in the top three slots! Without further …

It was very common to see Lisa 2s sold with an external 5MB ProFile instead of an internal drive. As I recall Apple marketed the Lisa 2 in three configurations: base, 5MB external,…

Update: I used MacADT to transfer the disks, but only managed to get the same 11 which I had originally made into .shk archives. I have now uploaded the whole package to asimov. So…

Thank you for the replies. Dealing with a cranky car right now and won't be able to dive in on this until the weekend.

Hi, Sent you an email. What is really interesting is that there are other disks still out there. A quick type in Apple Disk brought back over 15K of results. Only a small percenta…

I just removed the resistors, which was incredibly difficult, my 15w iron didn't seem to melt the factory solder very well, and then just cut small wires, tinned them and soldered …

Thats pretty cool, I got 2 Free clamshells from my school, and may even get some more. 1 Graphite 466 and 1 Blueberry 300, I'd like Tangerine and Lime though. My school does not ha…

You can just ditch the resistors and use rear window defogger paint you know. Also trace pens or whatever they are called. Can't get em where I live though. >_>

I ended up overclocking it to 400 mhz, I didn't try 433 because I didn't want to risk messing up soldering twice if it didn't work. http://img401.imageshack.us/img401/7540/400k.jp…

Status: There are 22 disks, 11 of which I was able to make into .shk archives. The rest have varying amounts of disk errors. I will be trying more in-depth methods in the coming da…

Well I diagnosed the problem with the other Powerbook5300C, I will need to ask more about the issue however.

To my understanding, *EVERY* Lisa 2 (and Macintosh XL) shipped with an internal hard drive. That was pretty much the big selling point over a 'real' Macintosh. The original dual-T…
