Anyway, if any of you have Doug Clapp's Hacker's Bible, please contact me. I know you won't want to part with it, but perhaps we could talk about scanning some pages (for historic…

Although the drive may very well need to be cleaned, there hasn't been nearly enough troubleshooting to establish whether a dirty drive is his problem. Indeed, it might be argued t…

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…

As I said in my first reply to this thread, I've found that 3-in-1 multipurpose oil or silicone grease work well. WD-40 is not a lubricant, and won't last long at all. White lithiu…

Amazon wont shipp used books abroad ... Click to expand... Seriously? That's pretty dumb. Click to expand... No, it depends on the individual sellers. I've bought some old…

I guess we still need more information. What model is your Mac? Is there a (working) hard drive, properly formatted with a valid system installed? If there is no boot volume, then …

But one Doug Clapp book I want very badly is no where to be found. The Macintosh Hacker's Bible. No doubt it must be able in local libraries in the US, Click to expand... Yes…

Haha well thanks. Yes I assumed WD-40 is not the way to go. The cable is seated just fine and it seems as if everything else is working no problemo. I use a Roland JV-1010 as my …

You're basically getting 1/4 of the pixels you need. You'd be better off with an old TV out of a skip, as long as it has a composite in.

Titaniums are a bit of a pain to remove the logic board, at least compared to newer Macs. I helped a friend transplant some guts of one Titanium to another and it took a lot of fid…

I'm using it for live performances with my band and I'm by no means and electronics or computer whiz, just a musician who's interest is sparked by things operating at the brink of …

I concur with Mac128. I personally have found EBAY very useful to alerting me to books that I want, and I then go to Amazon to get reasonable prices. I got Macintosh Complete! fo…

Well I found one used for $999.00 on Amazon !!! Anyway I can not buy one for $4 as Amazon wont shipp used books abroad ... $999.00 + $3.99shipping | Used - Very Good | Seller: QU…

Once again danapplemacman has posted some excellent pictures at his eBay auction for Doug Clapp's book "Macintosh Complete!". There are some great pictures of a prototype Mac 128K …

Figured it out. Silly me, I had to call up the Controls Window in Apple Video Player. Then I could set the input source :I Click to expand... I was going to suggest that, but…

I've had the disk drive out, cleaned it, lubricated it, and it seems to know when there is a disk in the drive because it spits it out upon start up, unless that task is something …

An Apple III had built-in II Plus emulation and that was with 40 columns and only 48k RAM. Not having a language card, how do you load integer basic programs or run Pascal. So tech…

Figured it out. Silly me, I had to call up the Controls Window in Apple Video Player. Then I could set the input source :I Looks pretty awful though. At least a default res Wor…

I guess I'm used to forums that move a bit faster, I do apologize, I'm just very eager to get this setup working. I'm using it for live performances with my band and I'm by no mean…

No disk works in it at all, the drive doesn't even try to read it when I pop one in. I'm thinking that it is either fried or there is a weird problem relating to the logic board ne…

So if everything else on my machine is functioning as it should be, can I conclude that the floppy drive has indeed pooped the bed?

7) Use a floppy drive cleaning diskette/kit to clean the read/write heads of the drive. Although this can be done manually with rubbing alcohol on a cotton swab, it is safer to use…

Thanks for the advice. No disk works in it at all, the drive doesn't even try to read it when I pop one in. I'm thinking that it is either fried or there is a weird problem relati…
