Scored a personal laserwriter 300 at a church rummage sale for $5 over the weekend. I don't know if that is a good deal yet, as I have not tried it out but for $5 I figured I'd ro…

Anybody tired SE ROMs in a Plus? Any reason not to try in terms of risking damage? There is some software that will only run on an SE. My SEs are packed away or otherwise disassem…

Hows its going, I'd like to know more about the Keyboard and Mouse interface on the M0001 (Mac 128/512k/e/plus/ED) Series of compacts. If you have schematics, and if you have any i…
