Well, I'VE got a PB100 trick up MY SLEEVE too!
It seems, in their infinite idiocy, that Epson left out support for the 68000 when they wrote the drivers for the original Epson Sty…

Some of us think washing the little buggers a viable (if temporary) alternative to The Full re-capping Monty, but YMMV.
What version of 7 was on there? 7.0 should be snappy enough…

Not to mention putting the 68030 on a 16-bit bus.
I created a 6.0.8L disk set, initialized the hard disk and put on a lean install (Classic II System Software only, no printers) a…

1.) Why is the Classic II second class?
2.) To which Mac is it second class?

Apple Purposley hampered the RAM.

That's weird why someone removed the serial number. Anyway, have fun with your second-class Mac.

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…

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…
