Regardless of SCSI IDs, I still get a grey screen. I'd like to try SCSIProbe, but the problem is that if I connect ANY external SCSI device, I get a grey screen, and the floppy dri…

Could it be possible that the SCSI port is bad? Thanks! Click to expand... It's always possible. Have you gone though all the options, with/without termination, check ids, wit…

So on my original Macintosh LC (the one I just rebuilt) it refuses to play nice with any external SCSI device. The weird thing is that internal SCSI works fine, and it boots off a…

The floppy disk is vital, and a X icon means that: 1: your disk has somehow gone bad 2: your floppy drive is dead (but I doubt it) 3: no bootable/corrupt System Folder on the di…

It means that the OS is corrupt or your HD has gone kaput. The Floppy disk could have also gone bad. Do you hear the HD spin up has it turns on?

Very good. I am on a campaign for a working compact.

Wow, nice SCSI cable hack! I wouldn't have been able to think of something like that. xD anyways, nice finds, and fair price for what you got! I've always liked the Macintosh SE/i…

Hi, For the first time in several years, I have unpacked my very old friend the Macintosh SE. We have moved house and I no longer have space to store her, so must put her up for s…

Thanks for the feedback crew, appreciate it. Dismantled the 512k today. Found some calcium marks from moisture along the base of the case, but thanks to Apple's design team thinki…

1: No, I'm pretty sure that Microdocks never had SCSI. However, if you're talking about a Minidock, then everyone of those had SCSI, and they are not rare. 2: All Duo docks (regul…

HEY EVERYBODY! MY NAME IS RICHARD, AND THE REASON I AM MAKING THIS POST IS THAT I WAS WONDERING SOMETHING ABOUT SCSI "MICRODOCKS" FOR POWERBOOK DUOS. MY QUESTION IS ARE THEY RARE? …

Oh, man... I'd love the IIgs. Too bad I'm on the Left Coast.

Please go pick this up now! I'd gladly reimburse for a couple 57X's next time I'm over there. Also a $5 IIgs, some early PMacs ... good day for vintage computer buffs!

Well, yeah, those too. xD You can run System 7.5+ if you really need to for networking purposes, but you should at least run it with upgraded RAM.

So before I came here, my Macintosh LC (my original one) had to be parted out because there was only a grey screen on startup and the floppy drive was totally dead. (it wouldn't re…

System 7.1 Click to expand... And about 7.1.1 and 7.1.2 non-Pro?

Nice score on some great gear! I've always had a special place for the case styling of the 81/8500 series of computers. A nice looking mini-tower, with power under the hood. I ha…

desoldering braid is solder wick Click to expand... Indeed it is, I'm getting my terminology wrong. I meant, a solder sucker/desoldering gun/desoldering station isn't necessary…

Eh, don't feel that way. As long as the HD's not a Conner, it should be perfectly fine. In fact, these drives pop up on eBay sometimes. I even saw a lot of 14 2.5 SCSI hard drives…

If you are not replacing components, then you don't really need to remove the analog board if you're just doing a bit of simple soldering. You have access to all the joints like it…

Thanks for the advice. What's the best way to get the analog board out without killing myself?

This look interesting as well: http://dreher.net/?s=projects/CFforAppleII&c=projects/CFforAppleII/main.php I've contacted the guy about the pricing and availability.
