I am told that later in the week I am going to be given a (dead screen) Mac Plus, a matching external HD, a IIfx in a Mac II case, a wide carriage ImageWriter printer, an early 21"…

On any list of dreadful Apple printers, the LW 300 will find a place... For drivers, you'll need to provide feedback about OS versions that you plan using. If you are running Syst…

I'd expect any SE/Plus ROM combination to fail. The significant differences between Plus and SE are ADB and PDS, although I imagine there are tweaks around serial and sound too. P…

Cool experiment though. Now we know for sure what happens. Click to expand... Yes. It makes me wonder if there is a pin incompatibility or a software one. I should have put th…

Scored a personal laserwriter 300 at a church rummage sale for $5 over the weekend. I don't know if that is a good deal yet, as I have not tried it out but for $5 I figured I'd ro…

Wow, $40 is a bargain, really. I guess it's different over here (they never sold outside the US) but I paid a lot more than that for my system. Although it was more complete and i…

The .pkg"->ncu is new to me. I have used Packtype (and occasionally Packager) for years, but had never heard of the other utility. Thanks for the lead.

The name of the application you want is called, with the quote marks ".pkg"->NCU just as stated above, its drag and drop and works flawlessly. Its easily one of the greates…

chances are you'll just get a very unhappy frowning mac in the middle of your screen. Click to expand... Not even. No bong, just garbage on the screen.

Anybody tired SE ROMs in a Plus? Any reason not to try in terms of risking damage? There is some software that will only run on an SE. My SEs are packed away or otherwise disassemb…

Wonderful, thanks!

You probably need the packager or packtype utility, for which Google is your friend. Something happens in the download these days, even on MacOS9, which corrupts the file. Very si…

As you may have seen in the Conquests forum, I just got an eMate 300, which is my first Newton. I ask that you please bare with me, as I am a total Newton noob. I found some pa…

Get an Apple 2, a Commodore 64 or something else that uses a TV for its video output. Matter of fact, a C64 or the much more powerful C128 painted black and set up as if it were th…

Congrats! You now have a very rare piece of apple hardware! I was going to say to lower the price to 40$ as I think that is the golden price before something gets to expensive. I…

Thanks fellas. I went ahead and offered $40 for it, and he accepted. As it turns out, he's a collector too and has a COMPLETE Macintosh TV with original box, remote, documentation…

Oh, well... i knew he would nuke it sometime... ...Which is why I kept a backup!

Because it's easier just to nuke it, rather than weed out what ever's not PD, freeware, or shareware. :-/

It looks like ~tl deleted the "Macintosh Software" wiki page!

I'd grab it. As Mike said, Mac TVs themselves are far from common. Only 10,000 were made, maybe a quarter of which would still exist today, and they were never sold outside of the …

I would try to pick it up. Mac TV's themselves aren't exactly common either. A black ADB Mouse could be fabricated in the mean time. Just paint a good condition, but yellowed mous…
