I have a ton of old Thinkpads with great screens from the mid 1990's, yet a few newer with some pink or dead bulbs. If I had to guess I think the older smaller screens had bulbs th…

I have two 150's here that have entire sections of the screens dead. They partially work, but those dead areas make it impossible to really use them.

As a follow-up to my own question which I asked on another group, the AppleFacts books were used by the Apple Sales representatives, which explains why basically no one a.) has an…

TjJazer, Try rebooting the SE/30 off of the floppy drive. Then run Disk First Aid or Apple SC HD Setup or some type of equivalent hard drive utility program. We just need to che…

But there's no need to just worry over it. Just put System 6 and 7 on your machine and switch between them as needed! That's what I do via System Picker. It's easy and convenien…

There were "mainstream and popular games" for System 6 as well as System 7. You will be surprised at what still runs under System 6. For example, Deneba Canvas 3.5 runs wonderful…

Oh and is there any reason to go with System 7 over 6.0.8? I don't know how the compatibility is with games. I know some games need System 7 and I assume some won't work with any…

Bumping my old topic. I may pull out my SE/30 to replace my Classic now. I've noticed that some games play alright on the Classic, but they're slooow. For example, I was play…

We now simply need someone here on 68kMLA to kindly deyellow our poor icon whose ALT text name is "beige smiley": :beige:

is it possible I have a beige Plus? Mine looks like a typical Plus and the back reads "Macintosh Plus, 1 MB." 14th week of 1987 in Fremont, CA. Click to expand... Yes. The 198…

The coating was always the same metallic color. At no point was the inside matte or any other color. The only noticeable change was the peeling. Sanding it down helped, although i…

I think for a while Apple had a plant in India where they churned out LCIIs, near the plant that churned out 1950's Morris Minors long after they were discontinued. Ask any PC sysa…

Yes, it's quite possible to do 68k development on a PPC. I believe you can even develop System 6 apps, although I haven't tested it yet. I'd like to expand the tutorial to the poi…
