And btw, another question: I see what looks like a SCSI card inside the IIgs. Assuming it's true, could I boot from a SCSI drive? Like could I format one of my old drives in ProDOS…

If you don't have a use for it, personally, I'd put it on eBay. I could be mistaken, but they go for hundreds of dollars on there. Anyone willing to drop several hundred dollars …

I found a new 5.25" head cleaning diskette at a thrift last year. Mostly it is the 3.5" drives that end up needing cleaning. A large q-tip with 99.99% alcohol would do the job.

Ok, so it seems my best bet is to try and clean the drives, right? Is there any easy way to do this? I already tried to take them apart, but having the plastic case off don't make …

What's the best way to clean a drive otherwise? Click to expand... Blow compressed air into it.

Take lots of pictures so we can all ooh and aah at its pristine attic ripened beauty

Something to try from Apple: http://support.apple.com/kb/TA22360?viewlocale=en_US Click to expand... Wow! I'd never seen that screen saver before! The box must have been locking …

Thanks a .bundle. I'll try that one.

I wonder if it is related to the .kext files. When my Beige G3 was working I had a similar issue. Something to try from Apple: http://support.apple.com/kb/TA22360?viewlocale=en_…

The keyboard. Try your spacebar.

I've had the same problem with a beige G3 tower running X.2, and with a ATI Rage 128 pci card installed. It seems to wake sometimes, and not others. Click to expand... What are…

Video card? Click to expand... No, it's using the built in old style Apple video connector.

Video card?

My Beige G3 seems to suspend itself, I've tried to tell it not to. But to wake it what am I supposed to press? Power key on keyboard does nothing and power key on front of machine…

Now THERE'S a project for RetroChallenge! Lisa Office System is pretty capable (it even has spell check built in, a rarity for 1983 software) and integrates better than Office, iW…

My first thought would be to turn it into a web server or run a BBS off it... but I'm sometimes a bit of a masochist ;-)

Do you have a disk drive head cleaner? Click to expand... Do you mean those "fake floppies" with a cleaning brush on the disk? I don't, but I've seen some a while ago. What's t…

I have a LISA 2/10 in the attic and am seeking advice about what to do with it. I used it for years and have great respect for this machine but I am gradually facing the fact that…

Make sure the 3.5" drives are first and the 5.25" drives are connected after them.

Another possibility: since you say you can get into the Control Panel go to the Control Panel and select Slots, look at the Startup Slot setting and make sure it either says Scan o…

Then I just tried to stick one of the old floppies in a Mac. And I amazingly saw it mount just fine on the Mac's desktop, with a ProDOS icon and all its files. So it seems that my…

Do you have a disk drive head cleaner?

Hi there, Though a hardcore macuser (and collector) for a long, long time, I have to confess that I am a complete newbie in the Apple II world. I do own an Apple IIgs I got from a…

Someone already collected enough information to set up a recent IDE harddisk drive to make up to 32 MB of disk space available for the Lisa. Flash memory is also supported. The aut…
