If you could get a fast enough FPU you could run NetBSD on it.

What to do with my LC III... Right now it's just sitting here, so anyone got any ideas of what I could use it for? It'd be a shame for it to just sit here unused...

I sorta remember a fuse on the ADB port 5V line. Don't have a II cx to look at, but have a squint at the mobo for a little surface mount chip labelled F-something. There is also a …

You might be able to fix it, sounds like you blew up something on the data side of the ADB. I think if there was fusing it would only be for the power side but I don't have the sch…

That's kind of what I was worried about. I don't want to throw stones at this company Click to expand... As a guy who gets those phone calls for a company, all i can say is "st…

but if bad caps are the culprit, I'd hate to accuse them of something that's not their fault. Click to expand... Click to expand... Uhm, Caps don't have feelings. :lol:

now my ADB ports don't seem to work at all, except for the power button on the keyboard. The Mac boots normally, but the keyboard and mouse aren't responsive. They both work fine w…

If there was a rotten cap in the mix it could have just drawn enough extra current to push it over from rotten to dead Click to expand... That's kind of what I was worried abou…

the ADB jacks can handle more than anything you would want to shove in a mac electronics wise, so unless there is a physically broken plug the jack itself is not at fault, maybe s…

Did you follow the instructions on that site? If you wanna go renegade, you can try soldering the mouse directly to the mobo? If you have like a dirty mouse or bad mouse of course…

I was afraid of that. The ADB-PS/2 adapter is for mice, specifically this: http://www.geethree.com/adb/index.html So ummm...anyone have another IIcx mobo with a socketed processo…

All the power button does is shorts two connectors. I doubt they make ps2-adb connectors,so you probly killed the mobo...

You sure that was an ADB-PS/2 adapter?

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…

Some of these are on my site.

Does anyone still have these? I have 2 WGS95's with actual A/UX media, and would love to get Oracle for them. I'm more than willing to set up a FTP for this type of thing, if someo…

Welcome! I don't post nearly as much as I should here, but I do lurk alot. I love this forum!

Aw yyyyeeeahhhh!! I visited one of those guys once. Out in the countryside. He had two barns, a concrete shed, and a converted concrete water tank, all full of Macs.

Welcome!

I dropped by the Free Mac Pile again. It was bigger than last time?? This guy has lots of stuff. I really am getting short on storage space too... This time I picked up a P…

Welcome

I ran into that once here and I had to choose very carefully. I ended up with a 128k and 2 512k's. I left Quadras, LCs, Apple IIs, and some other PPCs alone. I am sure others la…

That is insane! Even if I was fortunate enough to stumble onto something like that it would be SO hard to decide what to take, considering I don't have much room in storage as it i…

Very very nice. That sounds like a garage filler and projects for the next few years.

There was an add on our local Kijiji site. "Giveaway of very old Mac computers and acc. Come and get them". It gave the address. It happened to be near the school my son goes to.…
