Thanks for the replies everyone! I've considered Tiger, but then again I won't be able to get a hold of an OS X CD or RAM upgrades until July, so for now I think I'm going to stic…

Unlike you guys, it hurts me to bring a classic to school because I have so little parts, on my MacBook, I have almost two more sets of parts that I can throw in. Oh the irony :l…

with enough ram and a slightly larger hdd, tiger should run fine. i run it on my "school" computer, a pismo 500mhz g3, w/ 1 gb of ram, and i can even run iwork 08 on it. also same …

Welcome! I myself have a Core Duo GrayBook (Mix of White MacBook and Black one, built from 3 broken ones) and a few iBooks in my collection. I recommend you install 10.3 onto your …

Well, this is my first post here and I figured I'd start out by kinda introducing myself a little and posting my first two "new" and "semi-vintage" mac conquests . As for myself…

I tried googling "AppleDesign," hit the "6 used STARTING at $168.00 at Amazon.com wall" . . . . . . and came to a rather abrupt stop. [xx(] ]'>

Here are some additional notes: The focus and cutoff controls share a common supply. If the cutoff adjustment has no effect, that supply voltage is the problem. If the cutoff adju…

I have the same problem with my 2nd Edition of the book. In fact, I once got a like-new copy at a library book sale just in case the old one wore out! Now I'm forced to use my cove…

My copy of that is so ridiculously worn its not even funny. Both the front and back covers are long gone...

Yep, Mac Bible and Mac Secrets are the two classics which alway stay on my shelf-- never in a box. Dr. Macintosh was a fun read too, and I keep Upgrading and Repairing Macs handy a…

Loose Solder Joints on the interconnect board? My 150 has an interconnect board labeled "Jedi Interconnect board" 1000th POST!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, its fine now....it'll be interesting to see what happens tomorrow. Its just weird that for the past few days, the keys I mentioned in my first post were all dead, even after …

Well thats weird. Now all the keys are working. I'm happy, but still, I'm convinced there's a problem there somewhere. Click to expand... Congrats! That said, intermittent bug…

Well thats weird. Now all the keys are working. I'm happy, but still, I'm convinced there's a problem there somewhere. By the way, if there's one thing for sure, surfing the net o…

Ok, I'm actually typing this from the 180c now. The 6, 7 and 8 keys have actually come back to life. However, the t, y and , keys have now died. Any advice?

The Macintosh Bible is great too. I reread my 3rd edition recently and it gives me a nice warm nostalgiac feeling, of the days where there was enthusiasm and trepidation of the oft…

Thanks, Wally. I appreciate it. I'll just throw these in the random parts bin, and not keep them for Plus repair. I have a small supply of actual BU406s which I bought after t…

So I've recently dug out my PB180c for the retrochallenge, since I can't use the LCIII (with me not being able to get a 3G signal downstairs where said LCIII is and all). It works …

R26 is a fixed resistor, not a variable pot. 73s de Phreakout. :rambo:

Thank you so much it worked! I knew there is nothing wrong with my Apple IIgs. I knew it! I knew it is the best Apple II computer ever made my Apple, it beats all the other Apple I…

As my first post said, I tried adjusting focus control - it did nothing. I will replace R26 as Trag told me: "R26 is a 1 M ohm, 1/2 watt 5% resistor on the analog board." But is…

That sounds like one to keep an eye out for. Back when I bought my first Mac, I picked up (retail) a copy of Peachpit Press' Macintosh Bible (third or fourth edition?) That book …

I experimented with the image a little bit. It looks like the disk trashes itself somewhat after you first play it, as far as I can tell. While AppleWin can continue to work with…

Hello, I really appreciate it if someone can help me get this game running on my Apple II gs. The URL link to download the page and see what the game is, right here: http://www.ro…

Digi-Key lists Fairchild BU406FS-ND TO-220 pkg at 68 cents. Going with an original might be a safer bet. Larry Pina says avoid ECG379, it can cause left side screen foldback issu…
