That Y-cable is either for the LC IIe card (probably so, since it's on the drive) or it's a Power Mac 6100 DOS cable. Click to expand... Yeah, I think you hit the nail on the h…

First, I snagged an "Apple 3.5 Drive" in very good (physical) condition. I believe this is one of the drives that could be used with either an Apple IIGS or an early Macintosh - i…

"the public is not allowed into that area" Click to expand... Perfect opportunity to become a criminal, and it's for a good cause too.

Man I wish our goodwill doesnt suck, I asked one day where the computers were, they said downtown, so I called downtown and "the public is not allowed into that area" bogus

While I was out running errands today, I stopped into a Goodwill store that I don't usually visit (it's all the way across town from my usual routine), but this visit paid off with…

Alright, thanks! I doubted it, but I was just curious.

Nope. Most likely given it is labeled "SuperDrive" it was merely a computer Apple used internally, probably on a secretary's desk. The SE FDHD came first and except for the label c…

I spotted a Apple property tag on this Macintosh SE SuperDrive. Link (last photo in the auction) Would this necessarily mean that it was a late stage testing prototype perhaps? T…

Correction to my post above: that should say desktop/platinum G3, NOT blue & white G3!! Also, I tried ProTERM 3.1 last evening on the IIgs. It did not work! I must do more…

The //e can then run any competent terminal emulation software to login. Click to expand... If you're going that direction, you have lots of company: http://dataswamp.net/appl…

If you have an OS X box that lacks serial ports, you can get USB/8-pin serial adaptors pretty cheap. Then all you need is an 8-pin Mac printer cable to go between.

Here's how I plan to get my //e connected: I have a Super Serial Card and a b&w Power Macintosh G3. I've got the G3 configured with OS 10.2.8 such that its serial ports (p…

Not for MacOS... the free alternative would be to install some form of UNIX, but that's not exactly the easy way out ;-) There's always the option of getting a dial-up shell acc…

Is there a free alternative to IPNetRouter?

That's what IPNetRouter does.

Wouldn't it consist of running some router app on the Mac and then connect to that with the IIgs? Sorry, but networking isn't my strong point, possibly I should call some local net…

You may also want to look at IPNetRouter on the Mac. http://www.sustworks.com/site/prod_ipr_overview.html It's $89 and you need a lot of patience and a degree in network technolo…

is there any way I can route the internet to the IIgs via a LocalTalk cable? Click to expand... I think so, but I think it's probably going to be more work than you want to do …

As some may know by now, I have a Apple IIgs that I'm getting set up. I already have my 3400c connected to the internet, is there any way I can route the internet to the IIgs via …

I have heard that later Powerbooks, into the early G4 series even, used ADB internally for the trackpad. What would be involved in hooking into that, I have no idea. Click to e…

The first Apple PowerBook with SCSI Disk Mode would have have to have been the PowerBook 160, 165, 165c, 180 or 180c - I can confirm that the PowerBook 140 and 170 definitely do no…
