The SCSI ID Jumper settings were actually on a sticker on the drive… [] ]'>

Are you saying that it could be risky to put jumpers on random pins hoping it will change the SCSI ID to what you want?

Good luck!

I'm going to my grandma's house tomorow, so i'm hoping that the Preforma 630CD i stuck in her attic when i was ~6 years old is still there! *crosses fingers*

Love the wood paneling Click to expand... I agree. I love wood paneling, gives the room a nice warm feeling. I hate drywall, makes the room seem so cold and impersonal.

It all sounds bad, so bad... I messed with those other jumper things... to my misfortune! I would let go & write it off as a bad experience.

I never use them - I just use jumpers to set the SCSI ID.

As fake as this sounds, I already cleaned it off with Goo Gone. Still though, the real problem remains, how will I ever know what pins to attach the SCSI ID jumper cables to?

Pics or it didn't happen.

The picture isn't the best quality, and it doesn't show the entire room. However, just about everything in the basement is from the 70s - 80s and is all in perfect condition. The d…

I like the paneling, and the printer is a great add-on. As is the retro looking stereo gear (I assume) off the left side of the photo.

Was there an upgrade path for original Apple II users? If so how far could one go before having to buy a whole new computer? II Plus IIe IIe enhanced IIe Platinum IIgs
