Things are settling down a bit to be sure. What has been a major stressor though is the medical bills for the cancer treatment. Insureance is wonderful and without it i'd surely b…

Holy heck dude :O I feel for ya buddy - I tend to have the opposite reaction - the crazier life gets, the more I show up here for my daily dose of (relative) sanity. Glad to h…

I've been dealing with a lot lately. A few deaths in the family, my wife's cancer , trying to find a job, helping out a friend whose mom died and psycho sister is making proba…

G'day - nice to have you here. Impressive Mac history too!

Perhaps this is the reason the II FDHD requires 6.0.2, due to the different pin configuration from the SIMM to the chip? Click to expand... Nope, did you know that the original…

I actually just ordered a CF-IDE adapter. Apparently these work very well in the 2300c. CF to SCSI would be a bit of a trick. Maybe I should look into that one for 280c owners.

Here's another idea: build a card that replaces the HDD with a CF or SD card, wifi and bluetooth... and then send me two of them for testing purposes ;-) There are cards like th…

If you ever get that working, I'd happily pay far-too-much for one, if my budget even remotely permits. (Sadly, right now, my budget for such things is ZERO.)

Ding ding. We have a winner. I have some friends who DO have the hardware hacking skills. Basically, I want to build an ethernet adapter into a floppy adapter's chassis, and use s…

I imagine he means something that I have long wondered about hacking: Use the floppy adapter *SOLELY* for the PDS dock connector and shell, and rig up an Ethernet chip (a la the o…

Whu? How do you imagine you are going to get WiFi from a floppy adapter?

Wow, I sure do wish Chiefs-Trading-Post shipped internationally. =( I could use a NewerTechnology Floppy adapter or two to cannibalize for evil. And by evil, I mean WiFi.

Funny how divers people are thinking about Apples development through the years. My first Mac was a Colour Classic with external Power CD (2499 and 699 dutch guilders new @ Correct…

All I can say is Jobs is better at getting people to believe his bullshit then most CEOs.

Gentlemen, all I can say is Jobs was growing with the company and learning from his mistakes. I seriously doubt he would have killed something that was bringing in money for the co…

I agree with Unknown_K. Apple needed some time without Jobs controlling everything, and Jobs needed time outside Apple to rethink things. And while I cannot help but thank Jobs f…

The Mac exploded with the introduction of expandable machines (you know upgrade slots those things Jobs hated), not the closed dead end compacts. Jobs was big into killing off the …

If Jobs never left Apple would have gone down the drain. Click to expand... Unknown_K, I disagree. Sculley didn't trust Jobs, but the very things that have made him and Apple …

If Jobs never left Apple would have gone down the drain.

if Steve Jobs had not left Apple in 1985 there likely would never have been a Macintosh SE as we know it, and certainly not an SE/30. Click to expand... What do you think we'd …

Thanks everyone for the informatin provided. Esp. the tip with the differently branded names might prove helpful. Anyways, if anyone feels to part with whatever LC model let me kn…

I predict 68kmla membership will drop by 90% as a result of this! Click to expand... Technically, I don't think membership ever goes down, since the accounts still exist even i…

We've got too many smilies and not enough other choices all of a sudden! Click to expand... I'd like to be the first to complain that having the new smilies buried behind the "…

Dynamite! An LC475 works fine too! :lc: We must be on the same wavelength, I considered requesting the stuck out tongue, but your animated one is fab! Just one or two suggestio…
