After experiencing some weird occurrences (menu bar disappearing) on my Performa 6200, I decided to format and start fresh. I zeroed the drive, and attempted to install OS 7.5. I b…

A few years ago I attached 7 DuoDisks to a IIe for fun... that's almost 2 megs of online storage! I think I used ProSel as a program launcher. It really worked quite well.

BTW, on the back of a NIC I have found some strange symbols. The questions are: - What "TLE" means? - What is the logo in the triangle?

Alright, I'm sure that I can use the caddy in a IIcx now. Thanks everybody!

Olde-mac-milt usually carries HDD cradles for the IIci/IIcx/Q700, which he groups together. I have one of each of those Macs, and can verify that they use a common (with minor var…

How many Disk drives can be attached to an Apple II? Click to expand... If it has slots, and you fill slots 1 - 7 with Disk ][ controllers, and each controller with two drives…

It's not a dumb question, because an answer requires a basic understanding of how drives are setup on the Apple II. (I'm going to ignore the Apple III, because I know nothing abou…

How many Disk drives can be attached to an Apple II? I know some later Apple IIc's could support up to 3 total (with two external daisy chained), and the Apple III could use up to …

The IIci and IIcx do use the same kind of mount, 700 should also since it is in a IIcx type of case.

Alright, thanks. I really want to secure the hard drive so I can run the Macintosh IIcx sideways without worries.

Probably so. They're not needed, in any case, unless you just like having the hard drive secured.

My 2400c had something similar with its backlight after I restored it. I assume that it had not run for several years before I did the surgery needed.   I found that regular use s…

Could a Quadra 700 hard disk caddy be used in a Macintosh IIcx? I have my eyes set on a Macintosh IIcx on eBay which is missing the hard drive and the caddy, and I have a Quadra 70…

Well, today the 550c started up just fine as it did yesterday. Unfortunately, the random fade out (and restore) of the screen backlight is still with it. No rhyme or reason to it. …

I will try OS 7.5.5, but it seems 3rd party board, so I don't believe in success. What hardware probers can you recommend? I have no idea about them. As for my local people - at …

Success! This thing is sitting here with a clean install of OS 7.5 just purring away! Lost the RAMDoubler app in the process, might have that somewhere amidst my vintage sof…

With my neck in a brace from the whiplash I got when I opened the mailbox earlier this afternoon to discover the replacement AC adapter I'd bought on eBay on Saturday had arrived(!…

The board is very small for the early/mid 1990s. There is no socket for an optional FPU. So it may have been designed for one of the NuBus LC family, and thus may work with OS ship…

I've got the following card for my 475: { "lightbox_close": "Close", "lightbox_next": "Next", "lightbox_previous": "Previous", "lightbox_error": "The requested…

Holy smokes that was it. Thanks porter.

Is it in 24-bit mode? You need 32bit mode to see more than 16Meg.

I received an LC475 running 7.1P and the system software was using 32Mb out of 36Mb. I did a clean install of 7.5.3 and it's just as bad. Surely it should be using less? I check…

Well, having beaten up freudling's The Elusive PowerBook 550c topic more than I had planned to, (apologies there) I just bit the bullet and purchased a tested known-working M1893 A…

Simply put, if you turn on a fan to blow fumes from your nose while you solder, and if you then wash your hands after your solder job is done, you need not worry one bit about pois…
