Well, this is my first post here and I figured I'd start out by kinda introducing myself a little and posting my first two "new" and "semi-vintage" mac conquests . As for myself…

I tried googling "AppleDesign," hit the "6 used STARTING at $168.00 at Amazon.com wall" . . . . . . and came to a rather abrupt stop. [xx(] ]'>

Here are some additional notes: The focus and cutoff controls share a common supply. If the cutoff adjustment has no effect, that supply voltage is the problem. If the cutoff adju…

I have the same problem with my 2nd Edition of the book. In fact, I once got a like-new copy at a library book sale just in case the old one wore out! Now I'm forced to use my cove…

we could also do with getting rid of the idea of the RC being about an 'endurance' challenge - largely that was dropped as an active 'idea' a couple of years ago, its really all ab…

I've found iCab to be pretty serviceable (with CSS disabled). Adjusting your expectations also helps ;-)

My main impetus for wanting to use a PPC was, yes, because a semi-modern web browser is available. As I've been discovering, trying to use circa-1995 web browsers is impossible. …

Quite the collection with quite a few unique items. Namely, the hard to find PPC upgrade for the 520c, and the ethernet dock for the duo series.

My copy of that is so ridiculously worn its not even funny. Both the front and back covers are long gone...

Yep, Mac Bible and Mac Secrets are the two classics which alway stay on my shelf-- never in a box. Dr. Macintosh was a fun read too, and I keep Upgrading and Repairing Macs handy a…

Loose Solder Joints on the interconnect board? My 150 has an interconnect board labeled "Jedi Interconnect board" 1000th POST!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, its fine now....it'll be interesting to see what happens tomorrow. Its just weird that for the past few days, the keys I mentioned in my first post were all dead, even after …

Well thats weird. Now all the keys are working. I'm happy, but still, I'm convinced there's a problem there somewhere. Click to expand... Congrats! That said, intermittent bug…

Well thats weird. Now all the keys are working. I'm happy, but still, I'm convinced there's a problem there somewhere. By the way, if there's one thing for sure, surfing the net o…

Ok, I'm actually typing this from the 180c now. The 6, 7 and 8 keys have actually come back to life. However, the t, y and , keys have now died. Any advice?

The Macintosh Bible is great too. I reread my 3rd edition recently and it gives me a nice warm nostalgiac feeling, of the days where there was enthusiasm and trepidation of the oft…

Thanks, Wally. I appreciate it. I'll just throw these in the random parts bin, and not keep them for Plus repair. I have a small supply of actual BU406s which I bought after t…

G-AH! I just realized that this post has gotten moved to the wrong forum! This is NOT a list of "for-sale" items. This was just a list of items, a few of which happen to be for …

games system wise - what would people be doing with them? Click to expand... Well, one of my ideas, for example: Using a Gameboy to emulate a serial LCD (HD44780 or a graphic …

So I've recently dug out my PB180c for the retrochallenge, since I can't use the LCIII (with me not being able to get a 3G signal downstairs where said LCIII is and all). It works …

R26 is a fixed resistor, not a variable pot. 73s de Phreakout. :rambo:

In the earliest days of the retrochallenge it was a straight date cutoff, of ten years I believe, however this was changed a few years ago because 1994 seemed retro then, but 1999/…

Oops I read incorrectly.

Thank you so much it worked! I knew there is nothing wrong with my Apple IIgs. I knew it! I knew it is the best Apple II computer ever made my Apple, it beats all the other Apple I…
