Hey when were you there? I was there on Saturday and saw those items. I thought about picking up the Atari ST, but decided against it.

If we could only get Houston ComputerWorks to do the same thing. I'm always seeing at least one old Mac in the back due to get chopped.

Goodwill ComputerWorks - Austin decided to resume selling older hardware. The result was an afternoon of 68k conquest: Quadra 605 LC III IIsi Atari 1040 STE unused - CIB Atar…

You guys are probably right. I was pretty much certain my memories were wrong, but anyway. I hadn't seen a SE/30 since that one when I got mine a couple of weeks ago, so I thought …

Minutes after posting I found this, and thought it would fit on topic…

Oh, okay. Guess I was wrong about the C1 being replaced. Since it didn't look like the other capacitors, I just assumed it was a replacement made by some other company...oh well.…

If MacPlayMate is simply a runtime engine for Comic Works or Video Works or whatever, there's an opportunity for fun. Click to expand... It is, for VideoWorks. And it is fun… …

That C1 is the same exact C1 cap used in some of my newer "stock condition" analog boards, all with factory hot-glue applied: 630-0102-E 661-0462 And here is an unmodif…

really the main point of hot glue is to hold the larger / top heavy components in place as they scurry down a convener belt during assembly Secondary it provides a little bit of p…

Under 18s: please move on. Mike Saenz wrote the ever entertaining MacPlayMate and Wikipedia associates him with authorship of Comic Works. My twenty year old recollection of MacPl…

Using hot glue is advised if the computer is going to experience a lot of vibration. In an ordinary home desktop environment, it's unlikely that you'll need to use glue. I have a f…

Should we hot glue replacement components? Capacitors vibrate but does the glue make any difference to life span?

Oxidation, nothing, that's corrosion, and it looks like something got spilled on the board. How can you tell that C1 has been replaced? Looks to me like the original factory hot g…

Hi, Just opened my Macintosh Plus to give it a quick check-over, to make sure that no components have blatantly malfunctioned. Generally, it looks okay on the interior: { …

QT 1.5 was the first to support Cinepak, I believe, but I'm not sure if I have it. I definitely have 2 and above, so I will just have to fire up my old Plus and see if anything use…

Sooooooo ... which version of QT added 68000 support? Or was this yet another unfulfilled promise of Apple's, when they realized there was no point? Click to expand... It was i…

A decent solution may be to use the SlideShow program from Kid Pix. You'll need either Kid Pix 2 or Kid Pix Companion. I'm not sure if the program itself can run on a 1MB machine s…

Anyone heard of LUnix? Unix on a C64 - page seems a bit old though. And uCLinux ideas might be helpful about getting around lack of MMU. EDIT: Doh...didn't remember that LUnix h…

Did you know that the Mac II chord is also the first chord in "Norwegian Wood"? Now, if only it played the rest of the song!

Seeing how the SE/30 is basically a Mac IIx stuffed in a compact case, I don't think it's likely there have ever been SE/30's with the classic chime. More likely you didn't make an…

At a minimum, the pinouts have to be remapped. The first 20 pins of the Disk II & Disk III seem to be identical in function, suggesting that the 6 remaining Disk III pins a…

I am pretty sure that the Disk ][ connects to a set of pins on the back of the ///.The blue port all the way on the left is where it would go. Click to expand... Um, nope. That…

Every SE/30 I've worked with has used the Mac II chime. Also, the Classic II uses the LC chime. The only Macs that use the standard compact Mac chime are the 128K, 512K, 512Ke, Plu…
