Mac Classic Acting 'funny' — #9

Yes, the original pre-ADB mice have a larger microswitch (thus the awesome loud deep click) but I was under the impression that this thread was about an ADB mouse, or ADB mouse II,…

aye the m1k mouses have rather large, today, "microswitch" electrically they are the same, but mounting could be a problem for a solid button if you have a dumpy mouse you alread…

I've had mice that do that. It is the switch. This is called a "micro-switch". Here's a replacement: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=370198562470 Thi…

Mac Classic Acting 'funny' — #5

It could also be a worn-out switch in your mouse. The switches are not hard to replace and are generally the same as found in PC style mice (or were years ago, not sure what's in…

Mac Classic Acting 'funny' — #4

Good news! It was a bad mouse after all. Everything is working now. I think I may have fried the one mouse by hot swapping it when the Mac was on (I know that's a big no-no). …

Mac Classic Acting 'funny' — #3

Ok I tried both the internal OS and a different keyboard, same issue. I guess something might have gotten knocked loose when I was cleaning it. I'll try and reflow the solder this…

possibly cracked solder joints under the ADB jack. Try re-flowing the solder. Check the fuse at F2, it may need to be replaced. If both check out, try re-flowing the solder to the …

Small Find! — #2

Nice one. About a year ago, I found a wired Apple Pro mouse (black) for about the same price at a thrift shop. It is my main mouse still today.

Dropped into the local Salvation Army Thrift Store today. On the back shelf was a white mouse. I had not seen this type before. Flipping it over I saw the familiar Apple logo. …

What browser are you using? — #2

I think so. That's what I've been using whenever iCab 3.0.5 won't run, alongside some Netscape and IE for the sweet memories.

After running upstairs to the spare room to check. The Macintosh TV has the rainbow logo on it right in the center below the monitor. The stupid part was that Apple used a beige …

Yes very good stuff there. I'm jealous a bit. When I bought my tv tuner system for my Q630 back in college I got the slim line Sony version with mine. Is that the SAME remote co…

So what browser are you using on your Quadra running Mac OS 8.1 or lower? Is iCab 2.9.9 the best available?

Another really nice benefit of that Apple IIe card is that when printing. You just set the software for ImageWriter II mode, and then it will auto format at the mac side to pipe i…

It's a lot of fun running Apple II stuff on a Color Classic (mine has an Apple II card in it and a UniDisk 5.25"). I'd strongly recommend tracking one down -- short of a IIc it's a…

Just a thought....perhaps you could run the Apple II software on an Apple II emulator on a Mac, or even a PC? As long as you own as many real Apple IIs as you do systems you wish t…
