hehe u r a retro man - a die hard one at that! a combi with a bastard engine AND and apple lisa!

Problem: The install still doesn't work. It craps out anywhere from 1-5%. Solution: My theory is that the SuperDrive is too fast for the G3. Use an old ass DVD-ROM drive, preferab…

I downloaded it from here http://www.doperoms.com/roms/apple_ii/Dung%20Beetles%20(1982)(Datasoft)%20&%20Moon%20Patrol%20(19xx)(-)-%5Bh%20Stop%20the%20Madness%5D%5Bo%5D.zip…

Where did you get your disk image from?

There is no need I am able to get my Apple IIgs to work nicely on my PC monitor by using a TV tuner. In fact I get to use my Monitor now as a real TV, play Playstation 2 on, Amiga,…

Hi, What is it doing on the IIgs? Besides not working? Did you ever get a IIgs monitor? May be out of town shortly. Take Care

I heard about the exploding batteries but nothing about case quality or anything like that. Mind you I was wondering a little while ago why you never see any 5300s anywhere. Cli…

5300's are good machines. I second the idea of upgrading the LCD to an active matrix one. I would like to find one and do this to mine. They are so bloody cute. Then again so was…

an update: rambling about, I found an error 82 chat on http://www.mail-archive.com/lisalist@mail.maclaunch.com/msg00167.html. 82 is "no hard drive response"... James suggested flip…

Well I finally tried booting my Sawtooth in 8.6 using Almeath's file which I burned to CD. Since my sawtooth had a bootrom of 4.2.8f1, I assumed that 8.6 booting was no longer poss…

UniDisk drive (which has a ton of problems with ejecting disks) Click to expand... That's fixable, Scott. Strip down the drive, clean it and relubricate it. If that fails (whic…

No question posted on my birthday deserves to go permanently unanswered. Whether it is perverse or inverse, though, I shall address your third (and un-numbered question) first. Y…

I found my Liron card and UniDisk drive (which has a ton of problems with ejecting disks). I'm going to set them aside as a backup since I found my IIe doesn't really sit comfortab…

It's not the easiest thing getting a 3.5" drive hooked to an IIe. There's a page that lists some of the different compatibility notes for various types of Apple drives here: http…

It looks like nobody bought it, even after he listed it again for $100. FYI, as a former owner of a 5300 (plain 5300, greyscale) and a 1400cs, here is my advice: Stay away from p…

It sure seems like a software problem. At the very worst, reinstalling OS X should fix it.

You might be able to boot up from the os x disk and repair permissions.

I got my adapter today and popped the 80 GB drive into my G3. After a little playing around with the Silverlining software, I can access *ALL* of the files on my disk! Copying them…

thanks all for the great and quick input. I'm far from a techy, so I'm proceeding very slowly... here's summary what I've found: - as above, with both boards in slots recommended …

Search for the "Lisa/Macintosh XL Do-it-yourself Guide" from Sun Remarketing. It is largely a reprint of Larry Pina's guide to basic Lisa repair. Off the top of my head, I'd recom…

Memory is not the culprit if you only get two low beeps. I had a bad board (which I had to replace with a spare I bought on eBay) and it was a low beep (an E-flat) followed by two …

There are some people online that probably have experienced that exact problem with a Lisa 2 and could tell you exactly how to fix it. I would wait a while and see if you can find…

From what I've seen, older computers are most often plagued by capacitor problems - I'd check the caps first. If they're bad, search the forum for 'capacitor' and you'll get a good…

Has anyone done a same-machine speed comparison with 9.x.x?
