Animated happy mac on Mac Classic? — #1
I admit that I do not own a Mac Classic. Intrigued by the command+option+o+x bootable ROM ability, I peeked inside this ROM. I found this by importing the ROM as a fairly tall ra…

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…

How common was the LC III — #7
In the consumer market, the LC III was sold as the Performa 450. It's identical except for the sticker on the front of the case, and some accessories that came bundled with it.

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). …
How common was the LC III — #6
I can confirm that the LCIII definitely does support 24 bit mode, in fact when an LCIII has a flat PRAM battery, or no PRAM battery, it boots up in 24 bit mode by default. And it d…
How common was the LC III — #5
For that Apple IIe card keep in mind IIRC you need to run that in 24-bit mode. 32-bit mode won't work. So the IIe card in a LC III may not work since I"m not sure you can run t…

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…
How common was the LC III — #4
Yes, both of my LC III's were from a school. I think the guy I got them from had a trailer full of them.
LC's and the AIO LC models must have been very popular with schools and th…
How common was the LC III — #3
They were pretty popular in schools. I haven't looked for any recently, but schools were littered with them (and LC II's) in the 90's.
How common was the LC III — #2
The LCIII wasn't quite as common as the LCII, for one thing it cost a bit more than the LCII, but I'd think it was still a bit common. My Dad bought an LCIII back in 1993, and I re…
How common was the LC III — #1
I'm wondering how popular the LC III was (or not)?
Reason, I don't encounter hardly any of them where I look. Even on ebay they seem scarce.
I figured, I want one of those since …

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 …

My Mac Classic has started to ask strangely. It boots up just fine from the internal HD or from a disk and everything looks alright but I can't click on anything reliably with the…
And Daystar 68060 Accelerators... — #4
The Amiga used some software patches to get the 68060 to work, Apple could have done something in ROM to get around it. An old thread here mentioned Daystar didn't see a major spee…

And Daystar 68060 Accelerators... — #3
The 68040 didn't include all the functionality of a 68030+68882, either. (In particular, the 68040's FPU is missing hardware support for IEEE transcendental functions.) The differe…

Except the 060 doesn't use exactly the same instruction set, from what I've read, but rather a subset.

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.

Welcome to the forums.

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. …

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 …

Is that the SAME remote control as the the credit card controller for the MacTV??? My MacTV works with the slim line Sony one though. For 20 bucks at Ohio Thrift Store I wasn't go…
