Thanks. So I'm thinking I need to do this: 1. Install a IIgs emulator 2. Import the Apple SEA archive into the IIgs emulator 3. Run the SEA to uncompress it into an uncompressed…

All the original files from Apple are 800k Disk Copy 4.2 images in self extracting archives. To install on a HD you need all 6 disks. Disk 7 is used for AppleShare servers only. Di…

OK, I'm a bit confused how to get GS/OS 6.0.1 onto this machine. Looking at the Apple mirror here: http://asa.max1zzz.co.uk/English-North_American/Apple_II/Apple_IIGS_System_6.0.1/…

OK, I see how it is. That second card... It's a 16GB? Since it crashes, something is wrong with the partition and formatting. The one that does boot (I'm assuming it too is a CF),…

I'm sure you've got this covered but just in case, there is also a front cover switch that acts the same way as the back switch in killing the power supply.  You have to "fake out"…

Yep, pretty common on the 1.8amp PS. Uniserver is right, that's most likely your issue.

I didn't address your post properly. I apologize. There were RAM cards in the 5300/3400/Kanga. I had reseated the one in the 5300 after the problem and before posting, so I didn…

You mean these guys?  ...and do the lower numbers have any significance (do I have to find one that matches 8426, or just a 2N6308?)

For a 5300 or any NON-OSX System 8GB is more than enough. Anything more is just a waste unless you want OSX on a G3 and 16GB would be a minimum for that.

Raoulduke, you misread my post. In "RAM Card in the 5300", is there added RAM in the system, if so, is that card loose? It is not the CF FlashRAM card or PCMCIA slot. Only way to t…

You should be able to petition it into 2gb partitions. If that's not going to work a smaller card should, although you may need a third party formatting software either way.

I've been talking to the company that sold me the adapter.  They suggested I try a smaller memory card.  Is 16gb too much for OS 9?  If there's a maximum I would imagine it's way m…

i think those round looking motorola power transistors burn out in that psu… look up that model number on it and see if they are still available. those same things go bad with ham…

I have a Lisa that has yet to start up, but I have a little time to work on it now.  I got a power supply with the Lisa that was assumed non-working (since I don't know whether or …

I wasn't too clear, but I was sort of inferring the same thing.  I think the compliance issue goes beyond Cardbus, though - since it hasn't worked properly on either the 3400 or Ka…

The Classic does!

I discovered I can hit control+reset on the IIgs and get a BASIC prompt. Who needs startup disks?! Wow, I wish the Mac had as much useful stuff built into ROM.

raoulduke said: The adapter is supposed to be PCMCIA compliant (it says it's 16bit compliant but it also says it's 32bit compliant. Click to expand... Not exactly. My rea…

ask all the questions you want,  iT will just help the indexing of 68kmla in google searches and might get you to a 68000 after not too long

Ah, so it *is* supposed to be color, but not seeing the color on a composite video output is normal? I guess I can live with that. I didn't have any success with the 2001FP's VGA i…

What you are seeing is normal from the composite output. The VGC kills the color signal in text modes (only!) on the composite output in an attempt to make the text less blurry.

Can anyone with a IIgs describe what the self-test display is supposed to look like, in terms of color? When I hold open-apple + option at startup, it puts the IIgs into a self-tes…

The 2001FP can likely work with the RGB output too going by the reports of Amiga users. Use a Mac to VGA adapter in "multisync mode" (the sense pins aren't used by the IIgs). Somet…
