Hey all. I have a IIcx that's been working fine up until last night, when I tried to install an ADB-PS2 adapter to use with a Logitech mouse. The adapter didn't seem to work, and w…

Photo with some of the paint taken off. Click to expand... I know everyone is going to hate me for this but here goes. I like it. A lot. Get some rags and spray them with oth…

I got a decent amount of the paint off. A few more coats of it, and it should be gone. I'm pretty sure a normal soap/water scrub would work fine.

Currently waiting on the results of a coating of DOT 3 brake fluid (on the top cover); wish me luck! Click to expand... Definitely let us know your results in detail. I have n…

Some of us here collect KIM-1s, btw. Learned how to program it in high school with the hex keypad in 6502 assembly. Still have it. Works great. It's fun to have a computer that's a…

This wasn't getting the attention it deserved in another forum so I felt it appropriate to move it here. I am most interested in knowing about the MacSnap 5.0 "RAM upgrade" (witho…

Model 100's are awesome machines for what they're capable of. I have several here. A piece of lore behind the Model 100, btw, is that the Word Processing component of it is the l…

I have no idea what "dodgy C programmers" has to do with anything. Click to expand... With DMA, a dodgy C program can write into the data that something else is about to write …

The Mac II onwards were designed to use NuBus bus mastering for high speed data transfers. Both devices had to be on the NuBus, of course, and support bus mastering, at least as a …

Awesome! i loved those things. I used to have one. Try to find the floppy drive (and accompanying disk) that gives you 100KB floppy storage on a modern floppy. The floppy also ru…

As far as I know, the first Mac to actually have DMA (which the very first IBM PC had) was the IIfx and it was only used under A/UX. Click to expand... The Mac II onwards were …

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 box should supply term power…

about a year ago i purchased a trs-80 model 100 at a garage sale for $3. at that time i thought that it did not work. today i took it out, plugged it in, adjusted the screen resolu…

Another factor is that Apple probably didn't want to re-engineer an older board when they were focusing on replacing the Plus with the more cost-effective Classic. The Classic was …

The PB 170's HD is actually a 1 GB IDE HD connected to a IDE-SCSI bridge. Click to expand... Oh man, that's truly a great find - I've sought out one of these bridges for years.…

The PB 170's HD is actually a 1 GB IDE HD connected to a IDE-SCSI bridge. TBH, I hadn't thought of that, haha. Thanks!

I don't want to have her dealing with configuring SheepShaver, if you know what I mean. Click to expand... Okay, I'll buy that :lol:

Pull the HD, stick it in a PC and reformat. Viruses = gone. Unless it takes a SCSI HD. Lowendmac was not to clear on this.

I don't want to have her dealing with configuring SheepShaver, if you know what I mean.

Would they run in SheepShaver, perhaps? It just seems unfortunate to have to run between two laptops ...

AFAIK OS X. She just needs to run apps that won't run in Classic. I gave her my PB 170 (the one I have now), but after a while, I decided that I really want it back, and she could…

Why, what's her Lombard running?

Thanks Byrd for the valuable advice! I didn't know about the possibility of the CPU card becoming unseated; I thought it would stay a tight fit. And I'm actually intending for the…
