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

Hello, I have a problem I want to play Dung Beetles on my Apple IIGs but it doesn't work. It seems to work on the AppleWin but not on my Apple IIgs, is there away, a DOS, or somet…

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…

In the Compact Mac thread I posted about possibly using my Color Classic as a virtual Apple IIe. In case that doesn't work out, I have a few questions regarding floppy drives on th…

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.

Okay, I need some help on this one... My wife (bless her soul) has killed another PB, first my lombard, then my DVI and now my pismo. Alright, it was dead after she got "just a …

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…

I have a Lisa 2 (XL I think). It booted-up and ran fine 5 years ago, but now, when I push the start button, I get two low beeps (memory?) and a screen that looks like a beehive and…

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

Only a PC. I'm ordering one of those adapters that lets you plug a 2.5" laptop HD to a normal desktop IDE connection. Only $4, and I can just pop it into my G3. I'm not sure how I…
