Well, since my reason for doing it is frivolous, I don't want to do anything drastic. I think the only way to get them out would be with a teeny-weeny drill. I asked at the closes…

I know this is a little old and disregard if you already have it working, but I did this to load leopard onto my emac take the hdd out and put it in another apple (or external wha…

I had absolutely ZERO idea that the FCC wouldn't allow a Macintosh computer with a radio built in Click to expand... It isn't a matter of the FCC allowing it or otherwise. It …

It arrived ten years after the 128K and was called the Lacie ADB FM Tuner. It was powered by ADB and used whatever amplifier system was available.

Jeez .... I had absolutely ZERO idea that the FCC wouldn't allow a Macintosh computer with a radio built in lol :b&w:

sometimes you can pull or angle and pull on cases while trying to back the screw out, effectively pinching it enough so it can unscrew

I assume that a feature like that would not have been consistent with Apple's desired image for the Macintosh. If you look at all their old ads, they touted it as a revolutionary …

Finally got around to putting in the stripy insert I bought from iColours to customize my iBook G3 600. Alas, I was only able to get one of the screws out to open up the lid. The o…

... if the Macintosh 512K computer came with an AM/FM/SW radio built in. A coax jack on the back -- near the powerswitch -- for you to plug the included, rubbertipped telescope an…

I did it for a IIe a number of years ago. I mounted the drive under the IIe keyboard and made up a custom cable. Instead of mounting the SCSI cards DB25 on the back I ran it inside…

I have a II GS with an Apple SCSI card hook to an external HD and ZIP drive. For the moment I have to disconnect the ZIP because it is somehow interfering with the HD, don't know w…

Hi, I have a II GS with an Apple SCSI card hook to an external HD and ZIP drive. For the moment I have to disconnect the ZIP because it is somehow interfering with the HD, don't k…

the thing i dislike the most about goodwill in our area is that they dominate the thrift / second hand store market, theres like 1 junk shop in my town that almost sells computer s…

Man I wish our goodwill doesnt suck, I asked one day where the computers were, they said downtown, so I called downtown and "the public is not allowed into that area" bogus Clic…

That Y-cable is either for the LC IIe card (probably so, since it's on the drive) or it's a Power Mac 6100 DOS cable. Click to expand... Yeah, I think you hit the nail on the h…

I was afraid the speed might be an issue.

First, I snagged an "Apple 3.5 Drive" in very good (physical) condition. I believe this is one of the drives that could be used with either an Apple IIGS or an early Macintosh - i…

"the public is not allowed into that area" Click to expand... Perfect opportunity to become a criminal, and it's for a good cause too.

I had no idea the transfer rates were so high Click to expand... IBM PC's, even with an 8088 (wow!) used a DMA controller for floppy disk because of the data rates. You could j…

IWM in the Macintosh is similar but not identical to the Apple ][ controller. There's a / device out there that emulates a physical floppy drive and works with the Apple ][ / calle…

While I was out running errands today, I stopped into a Goodwill store that I don't usually visit (it's all the way across town from my usual routine), but this visit paid off with…

Incidentally, you can make your own view new posts URL that excludes other parts of the forum (or, more properly speaking, only includes certain parts of the forum) by mucking arou…

That can be simplified a bit by enabling the sub-forum search option (&sc=1) since phpBB doesn't distinguish between forums and categories – so the forums listed on the ind…
