Anyone still have any ideas why this Mac won't open applications? After a complete reformat and reinstall of OS 9.2.2, it still won't launch Stuffit Expander (type 3 error.. save w…

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.

The difficulty with this project is that it requires that one have a circuit board made. That's not difficult in itself, but it does require a substantial up front investment to k…

I've been a member here for three and a half years and have been a subscriber to the LEM lists off-and-on since the Compact Macs list launched about 11 years ago. I attribute the p…

Is anyone here cloning IIsi ROMs? PM, please.

Some of it is just the kids, who are just going to be constitutionally different that the 20-, 30- and 40-somethings among us. You youngsters are going to find that things are that…

Take off every "Zig".

This forum has turned into a social site "aka community" where people who don't even own or use the equipment we are supposed to talk about here come to talk about everything but o…

I fail to see how a civilized conversation can take place when everyone feels like there needs to be a big gigantic touchy feeley opinion post every week (or to prolong one for as …

(Lounge topic) Some of the choices made lately have driven users to just full out insult mode. I can attest to doing it myself.... It's just really that nothing get's done here. …

I've noticed a bit of negativity on the forums recently. Not just commentary on things that are negative, but individual posts whose sole purpose is to degrade or dismiss another …

I do that to my 386, but its actually dealing with all of it by itself, this configuration all the 'heavy lifting' is done on a much more powerful computer and just sent to the // …

If you had an ethernet port, do you think an Apple II would be able to use a wireless bridge to connect to a router?

The typical 3-port MIDI adapter (that is 3 MIDI outs on the same 16 channels) is merely a 1 MHz crystal to provide the clock for the Mac's SCC chip to generate 31.25 kilobaud and s…

Actually, since I've been back, almost a year now, I don't think ANY thread of this type has EVER had EVERYONE say they don't like any individual change of policy/enforcement of ex…

I still fail to see how this helps anything though. All it does is make us press a differant button and make the layout make even less sense.
