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…

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

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…

Don't go tweaking the voltage pot just yet -- you could cause a complete meltdown. The problem you're seeing is not uncommon, and is most often caused by tarnished power connectio…

After several tries, I finally (accidentally?) got that silly ad-laden download site to deliver that AIFF file to my hard drive! All I can say is that the sound file you made is t…

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…

Well aparently it is a dual-floppy SE box, though it is not the box that goes with my SE I also found out that it has a good PRAM battery in it :O P.S. Is there a version…

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…

The Outbound Laptop Model 125 could use either the Plus ROM or the SE ROM. I think that all of mine use the Plus ROM. It would be interesting to see one which uses the SE ROM t…

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…

Compacts rock! I love my 512k. My Classic 2... Eh not that much :lol:

Rise of the Compacts!

I have a Supermac STD-979o (Sony GDM-1950) that is listed as a 19" monitor (I think it is 21" with 19 viewable) and the only place I could put it without it crushing something was …

Uh, wow! I got an SE dual floppy 2 weeks ago - also my first compact! 8-o

an early 21" monitor with its matching Nubus card, Click to expand... Altho thats a cool score, ouch ... I snagged a early 21" hp monitor (with bnc's on the back) and the thing…

The velco strips could have been for one of those screens that keep people from seeing what you are typing (or for a paper holder that mounts on the side of the case). Click to …

Very good price. The velco strips could have been for one of those screens that keep people from seeing what you are typing (or for a paper holder that mounts on the side of the ca…

I finally got my first compact Mac today, a SE Dual Floppy :lol: . It came in a SE box, to my surprise, though unfortunately it is a SE SuperDrive box not a regular SE box. T…

I am told that later in the week I am going to be given a (dead screen) Mac Plus, a matching external HD, a IIfx in a Mac II case, a wide carriage ImageWriter printer, an early 21"…
