Things to watch out for: 1) External drive must supply termination power (the power supply in the Plus is too feeble to do the job, so the design team decided that the external bo…

The 2 black ones in the back (visible) and the 2 silver ones deep in the handle are all you need to split the case open.

How do I take my SE apart? I know where the screws are, and I have the right bit, but I can't get to the bottom screws. Is there any common tool that I can use to open it? Thank…

If you are running 128k without swapping a stack of 400k floppies you aren't living the dream!

Except that the network challenged Macs are also often SCSI challenged.

It looks good....but it'd be virtually impossible to get it to work on a Mac, unless you created a specialised version. As for prices..... The FDD Emulators go from approxim…

Anybody have any experience with these FDD emulators? Seems like the ideal solution for vintage, networked challenged compact Macs. Manage your disk images on OS X, copy them to a …

My Seele being thus comforted, I shall no longer be tempted to sell the thing.

Gott im Himmel! It's not worth real money, is it? And mine looks almost new. Click to expand... That seller's pricing policy has attracted comment before. In the new-look comm…

The II and IIfx do need a working battery. In these old machines, the battery actually closes a relay in the power supply to turn 'em on. A Kensington or other fan will do a lot t…

Does it work with standard HFS or do I need a dedicated "Plus" scsi drive formatted differently? Click to expand... Depends on the drive and the utility that was used to format…

using some of the lower System versions (say, System 3, with which it shipped, I gather) with an external scsi hard drive? Does it work with standard HFS Click to expand... Sin…

I was going to mention the Plus's lack of internal termination, but LCGuy beat me to it. Try to use a short SCSI cable to the first external device and made sure that the device n…

If you're going to use the hard drive with the Plus exclusively, you're best to format it with an interleave of 3:1, which you can do in Hard Disk Toolkit, or I'd imagine most 3rd …

The donor has found the keyboard, which I can collect tomorrow. There is ein Gott im Himmel, evidently.

As reported over on Conquests, I just have acquired my oldest Macintosh yet, a nice-looking Plus. Having (ahem) a plethora of peripherals in the perimeter of the Plus, I think I m…

Gott im Himmel! It's not worth real money, is it? And mine looks almost new.

I can report back that I what I collected today was more limited than originally anticipated, as the chap decided that he would keep most of his collection. The software I had hope…

Well aparently it is a dual-floppy SE box, though it is not the box that goes with my SE I also found out that it has a good PRAM battery in it :O P.S. Is there a version…

The Outbound Laptop Model 125 could use either the Plus ROM or the SE ROM. I think that all of mine use the Plus ROM. It would be interesting to see one which uses the SE ROM t…

Compacts rock! I love my 512k. My Classic 2... Eh not that much :lol:

Rise of the Compacts!

I have a Supermac STD-979o (Sony GDM-1950) that is listed as a 19" monitor (I think it is 21" with 19 viewable) and the only place I could put it without it crushing something was …

Uh, wow! I got an SE dual floppy 2 weeks ago - also my first compact! 8-o

an early 21" monitor with its matching Nubus card, Click to expand... Altho thats a cool score, ouch ... I snagged a early 21" hp monitor (with bnc's on the back) and the thing…
