Thanks JDW for reply: To simply my request for answer re focus problem, I didn't state full story. My SE 30 motherboard failed in May, and I purchased a used replacement from "Ne…

I have a Macintosh LC III. Not sure if I am in the right place. Has not been used for awhile. Went to turn it on and a disk with a flashing question mark came up. There is no disk …

Thanks.

I am merely looking for a piano replacement that will let them play with some synthesizer-like effects. But keyboard action is the key. I took a further peek and evidently GarageB…

From 8.0 to 8.1 is a free upgrade from Apple's Older Software Downloads page. Same from 8.5 to 8.6. Those are really the only relevant point releases of MacOS 8. But to go from …

Where can I find that version for my Performa 6360. It does not have an Internet connection/card at this time. I made a google search but could not come up with download site. He…

Currently I am working with OS 9 and OS 7.6.1 on the same hard drive of my Performa 6360. However some of my midi/audio programmes do not get along with either of those two OS bec…

Hey, my iMac G4 gave up the ghost for some reason and I'm not about to fix it right now so I'm putting the 80GB drive inside my quicksilver which already has 2 hard drives. I thoug…

Your advice was spot on! I removed the battery and actually booted without it once and then put the battery back in and booted again. It booted fine both times. This one has a n…

I have been thinking of getting the (teen-aged) girls a super-duper keyboard for piano (they are in the Royal Conservatory program), partly as the family piano is truly showing its…

The 5.25" drives were available in both colors. The earlier beige model was called UniDisk 5.25" and the later platinum variety the Apple 5.25" Drive. There are slight internal dif…

Pulling the logic board and replacing caps should not affect your screen focus at all. I should know since I have yanked out my motherboard and put it back in dozens of times with…

The top DuoDisk also appears to be platinum... I've only ever seen beige. Click to expand... I used to have a platinum one with my IIgs back in the day. Click to expand... …

What I really just want to do is "play" a Mac as a software synthesizer. The older, the better, as I'd think the "lower quality" synths would be more unique. Click to expand... …

Nice collection there Unknown_K. There's also the Applefritter Nubus Mafia collection

This must have been a European model. The keyboard is a giveaway, plus I've never seen this in the States. For those of you living in Europe--were they limited to specific markets?

I know those simms are virtually impossible to find but threw the question out on the off chance someone on the forums would have a lead to a supply. The 16MB simms in my IIfx wer…

After excellent dealings with Trag, I replaced (paid technician) to have caps replaced with tantalums. Fixed problem, but now focus is off a bit - but too uncomfortable to view. T…

The S-series from Yamaha is nice. I have the more inexpensive S08. 88 fully-weighted keys and some nice sounds built-in. Programmable too, but I haven't delved into that yet on t…

Well then you need real GWorld RAM, which is impossible to find these days. I got my 4MB SIMMs from an AVID Nubus capture card (targa 2000 Nubus based), which are very hard to find…

Can you double check whether you get a mouse arrow in the top left-hand corner of the screen or if you even get a startup tone when you turn it on? Another culprit could be that t…

Thanks for the link. I had read that once before but it's been a while. The ram I tried in the 8-24GC card was a pair of 1MB simms pulled from the IIfx when I upgraded it's Ram, …
