I built two of Mac RS422 to MIDI interface devices using the description given in the c't magazine. This interface works very well (powered from serial port, 1 x MIDI in, 2 x MIDI …

Hi, I´m going to build this project: http://www.electronics.dit.ie/staff/tscarff/Music_technology/8way_drm2/8way_drm2_1.htm It´s an 8-way velocity sensitive Midi drum pad. I wa…

Seems okay to me too... a ][+ is getting to be relatively rare these days. I've seen crappy IIe's sell for more.

The pricing there is reasonable in my opinion. $50 total equates to about £25 and most Apple II gear goes for way more than that here.

All of Herb Johnson's stuff is overpriced. Click to expand... I kinda had that thought too, but it's really odd because he has this note on the Apple II's for sale page: Th…

Last I heard, Apple II prices are starting to get up there. But you're right, the missing keycap is a cosmetic problem at the very least and a functional problem at worst. (IIRC,…

All of Herb Johnson's stuff is overpriced.

Seems high to me. But then again, a quick scan of eBay confirms that astronomical prices for Apple II stuff seem to be the 'in' thing right now. I'd bet someone here would have one…

Take a look at this Apple II, especially the picture, and if anyone here has some estimates as to what it's worth, I would like to know: Apple II Plus #034, one drive disk I…

....in my kitchen having a glass of chocolate milk Click to expand... so that was the magic ingredient.

Hey I would be glad to! I installed 8.1 again, but this time I formatted the Hard drive as Mac OS Standard. Then I install a minimal 8.1. I boot into that and put my 7.6 CD into th…

Thank you so much! I now have a working OS 7.6 system Click to expand... (a) Can you tell us how you got out of your pickle? It would be nice to know what the problem really wa…

Thank you so much! I now have a working OS 7.6 system

2) Booted from 8.1 CD, installed 8.1 Click to expand... Good, you have a working state you can get back to. Put this back on so you know you having a working system and can the…

Okay, 1) Had 9.1 on it. 2) Booted from 8.1 CD, installed 8.1 3) On mac mini made 7.6 CD. 4) Installed 7.6 from 8.1 5) Went to boot, says " Cannot use this system disk on this …

I'm lost. I can't work out what you have done and what you are trying to do. What was 8.1 running on? Normally to install an OS you have to have booted from a different device t…

I can view the files on my Mac mini. And I've booted (recently) 8.1 and had that install, but I installed 7.6 from the 8.1 install and it says on boot " This system disk cannot be …

Not all OS disks are bootable. 1. can you view the contents on a another mac? 2. can you boot the 1400 with a disk tools disk?

Hello all, I have a .toast file with Mac OS 7.6 on it. I know the file works because it was tested before being sent to me. I burn it in Toast ( 7.1 ) and go to boot up my 1400, I …

It needs a SWIM chip too doesn't it? Maybe that chip is gone, but the power is still hooked up, so the floppy drive powers on and starts to read the disk but then nothing is there …

I'm pretty sure that ROM support for those devices was removed after the Rev.A machines. Luckily you can drop a 333MHz CPU module into a Rev.A : - and a bare Rev.A board should no…

I am 99.99% certain these hacks will only work on a 233Mhz Rev A board. Click to expand... Make that 100% on the floppy drive. Maybe there are further hacks that can be done t…

Which reminds me..one of these days I've gotta find a Rev. A iMac somewhere...would be a neat machine to play around with, not to mention that if I keep it original and in good nic…

I am 99.99% certain these hacks will only work on a 233Mhz Rev A board.

From what I gather, 8.6 is the minimum that will run on this iMac, and you say it would need less than 8.6. Does that mean there's no way to get this to work?
