The 2 black ones in the back (visible) and the 2 silver ones deep in the handle are all you need to split the case open.

How do I take my SE apart? I know where the screws are, and I have the right bit, but I can't get to the bottom screws. Is there any common tool that I can use to open it? Thank…

If you are running 128k without swapping a stack of 400k floppies you aren't living the dream!

Except that the network challenged Macs are also often SCSI challenged.

It looks good....but it'd be virtually impossible to get it to work on a Mac, unless you created a specialised version. As for prices..... The FDD Emulators go from approxim…

Huh interesting! Oh and My "Lets Play a Game" Thread is there :b&w:

Stock video card or 3rd party?

Anybody have any experience with these FDD emulators? Seems like the ideal solution for vintage, networked challenged compact Macs. Manage your disk images on OS X, copy them to a …

I just installed Leopard on this(fresh install) and ever since, when I scroll on a web page, the area around my mouse pointer moves down the page(its hard to describe, but heres a …

I thought mini's were supposed to be faster? Click to expand... If it's graphics, then no. a 2.3Ghz G5 will win out over a mini. Actually, a 2.3Ghz SHOULD win out over the min…

I recieved the Mini yesterday it is nice for a second Mac. It seems like my G5 is faster...or on par with the mini I installed 10.6 on the mini. the mini is the 2009 model... wi…

My Seele being thus comforted, I shall no longer be tempted to sell the thing.

Gott im Himmel! It's not worth real money, is it? And mine looks almost new. Click to expand... That seller's pricing policy has attracted comment before. In the new-look comm…

The II and IIfx do need a working battery. In these old machines, the battery actually closes a relay in the power supply to turn 'em on. A Kensington or other fan will do a lot t…

Does it work with standard HFS or do I need a dedicated "Plus" scsi drive formatted differently? Click to expand... Depends on the drive and the utility that was used to format…

using some of the lower System versions (say, System 3, with which it shipped, I gather) with an external scsi hard drive? Does it work with standard HFS Click to expand... Sin…

I was going to mention the Plus's lack of internal termination, but LCGuy beat me to it. Try to use a short SCSI cable to the first external device and made sure that the device n…

If you're going to use the hard drive with the Plus exclusively, you're best to format it with an interleave of 3:1, which you can do in Hard Disk Toolkit, or I'd imagine most 3rd …

The donor has found the keyboard, which I can collect tomorrow. There is ein Gott im Himmel, evidently.

As reported over on Conquests, I just have acquired my oldest Macintosh yet, a nice-looking Plus. Having (ahem) a plethora of peripherals in the perimeter of the Plus, I think I m…

Sometimes keyboards just do that. I had a Dell keyboard a few years back, and the b, n, m, comma and space bar all went out at the same time. The day that happened (prior to the cr…

Gott im Himmel! It's not worth real money, is it? And mine looks almost new.

I just got a PowerBook G3 Lombard yesterday, and everything worked fine, but as of today, the Command key no longer works. I tried resetting the PRAM - but it doesn't work, cause t…

I can report back that I what I collected today was more limited than originally anticipated, as the chap decided that he would keep most of his collection. The software I had hope…

I have that same card (or similiar anyhow) and iirc you need to tape pins, but that is only if it would work the sapphire card I had had the cheaper bios chips or w/e and could not…
