I just remembered that a while ago, the SE would not turn on at all every once in a while.

It was the pt-puhtt noise I was asking about. Is that the static noise? In the background the fans were spinning down, which I knew. The pt-puhtt noise happens when the power is s…

I always hear this pippling noise whenever I start the SE up or shut it down. Is that normal? Click to expand... Is that in addition to the standard beep, or instead of? It sou…

I would love to hear that noise, but for the life of me I cannot figure out how to download that AIFF file!

I don't think it was heat. It is in a cool environment, the fan in it works fine, and the case never gets hot. I always hear this pippling noise whenever I start the SE up or shut…

Could be that teh power supply is getting marginal. If it drops too far below 5V you'll see behaviour like that. The fix could be as simple as turning the voltage adjustment scr…

If you can figure out the serial connection to OS X part the you could just sign up for a RetroNET account (type "telnet retro-net.org" at the prompt), that will give you access to…

OOPS! :I MY bad!

you can log onto your Unix Mac via telnet and send / receive mail etc. Click to expand... No, telnet is spawned by inetd. We are talking purely serial, so you would be coming i…

FidoNet worked as follows: User runs terminal software and dials his local FidoNet BBS system. Reads his messages, types new messages to other FidoNet subscribers and logs out. Lat…

If so, I'd be interested in how it could be done. More than likely, I have completely misunderstood what I read and simply need to be set straight. Click to expand... Choose a …

the down low is back when you used a terminal emulator to access unix (type) servers, and the whole experience was text based, altho that could be mouse and menu driven, anything b…

heat?

My Macintosh SE suddenly reset itself multiple times in a row while I was just typing in Note Pad.

Here's where you're sounding schizophrenic. Click to expand... I think we've totally gotten off on the wrong foot. I just re-read this thread and I can't even figure out what's…

Since when does being interested in vintage Macs require a degree in computer programming? I'm not frightened, just have no interest in it. There are many folks on these forums who…

I still have no way to bridge the output from MacTerminal to the Internet and vice/versa. Which was the whole point. Click to expand... I thought you had a Mac OS X box in betw…

I'd love it if there was a KIP/MacIP based package that you could use on a Mac 512K (no, a 128K will never cut it) to access a Unix box. I've tried it, and I have exchanged mail wi…

course a buck at radio shack and you could have just replaced the jack properly

Yay! It's fixed! Well, except for the fact that I must now manually switch to enable either internal speakers or headphones. : Okay, so here's what I did. Once the Pismo wa…

The way I read it you wanted the 128k to do SLIP or PPP. Both can be done, but you have to basically duplicate the functionality of MacTCP in a small memory space. Click to expa…

you could do something like Code: site:68kmla.org +f=1 plus which would search for "plus" in forum 1.
