So uh... did you ask how much for one of the Lisa's?

13 Lisas?!?!? That's insane!

Broke down and bought this card from ebay. There was no shipping costs as he lives 5 minutes from me. I amlooking for thedriver/ software for it. It may be just a extention. The …

Nice haul and some great Powerbook info in this thread.

Picked up a PB 145 and 150 yesterday. The 150 looks almost new and works perfectly (although the drive is noisy - but this is an easy fix, as the 150s' are IDEs) Click to expand…

The Macintosh Performa 600 (aka Macintosh IIvi) was a bit of a crippled machine. They reused many aged components from older machines, most notably the memory and SCSI controllers.…

My PowerBook 165 (not 165c, my B&W 165) does kinda the same thing. The screen is completely dark on the bottom, and the slightest movement of the contrast switch makes the…

The cables have been checked, and the contacts lightly cleaned, and there is happily a considerably better display now. There remains some flickering, but no really bad multi-colou…

Ghosting and "messing up" could be the result of a bad cable or bad video controller. Fading in and out could be a failing backlight or inverter... I'd check the cables first, of…

Very nice!

Hard Disk Toolkit mounted the Zip Drive!!!!! :O ;D

Silverlining Lite will probably do it. It's a control panel that you stick in your control panels folder. Just download it from here, unstuff it, drop it in your control panels…

The Zip Disks are HFS. I'll be trying Hard Disk Toolkit, Anibus, and Silverlining tonight.

When you mount the zip media you are using on the 4400, do they mount as PC formatted zips with the pc designation and built in translation or as Mac formatted zips?

I don't know. I've never owned or used a Zip Drive. I don't know anything about them. I have an EZ135 drive that I used to use. I used Silverlining Lite to mount those disk…

The Zip Drive not mounting doesn't have to do with the non-Apple HD. My Macintosh LC III with an Apple HD can't mount it either. (The Macintosh LC III doesn't ever have instability…

I reset the PRAM, and the Quadra is now stable with/without SCSI Manager 4.3. Zip Disks still don't mount. What shall I do next? Do you think I should erase the hard drive and put…

I'll try right now.

First get a complete backup. Then defragment the disk in case it's that. Then we need to get you a competent formatter that will test and map out sector defects and update the fa…

I just found this article. It says at the end that the Quadra 700 has a flashing question mark problem. Anybody know about that?

In your position I might bust out Hard Disk Speed Tools and see if it could help(it has helped a few times in the past with HDs and my CD-RW).Were the old versions of Disk Warrior …

I have bad news. The Quadra 700 can't boot up with SCSI Manager 4.3 even without the Zip Drive connected. The thing is that the macintosh is rocksolid when actually working with no…
