What's the best way to clean a drive otherwise? Click to expand... Blow compressed air into it.

Take lots of pictures so we can all ooh and aah at its pristine attic ripened beauty

Now THERE'S a project for RetroChallenge! Lisa Office System is pretty capable (it even has spell check built in, a rarity for 1983 software) and integrates better than Office, iW…

My first thought would be to turn it into a web server or run a BBS off it... but I'm sometimes a bit of a masochist ;-)

Do you have a disk drive head cleaner? Click to expand... Do you mean those "fake floppies" with a cleaning brush on the disk? I don't, but I've seen some a while ago. What's t…

I have a LISA 2/10 in the attic and am seeking advice about what to do with it. I used it for years and have great respect for this machine but I am gradually facing the fact that…

Make sure the 3.5" drives are first and the 5.25" drives are connected after them.

Another possibility: since you say you can get into the Control Panel go to the Control Panel and select Slots, look at the Startup Slot setting and make sure it either says Scan o…

Then I just tried to stick one of the old floppies in a Mac. And I amazingly saw it mount just fine on the Mac's desktop, with a ProDOS icon and all its files. So it seems that my…

Do you have a disk drive head cleaner?

Hi there, Though a hardcore macuser (and collector) for a long, long time, I have to confess that I am a complete newbie in the Apple II world. I do own an Apple IIgs I got from a…

Thank you very much for the reply, it cleared a few things up for me. Still how would I be able to play the midi drum set in real time? Just like a real drum set? Through a compu…

So if I have it right, I plug the drum pads into the MIDI drum controler then into the mac serial interface and then into powerbook. I load an old version of cubase Click to ex…

You'll need OMS...thats when the fun REALLY begins!

This forum is ALIVE I like that. What software can I use apart from the ones mentioned. I know I succesfuly installed Cubase on the Powerbook...

Mac MIDI goes to the serial port, not ADB. There are lots of designs out there for making your own interface, or you can hunt one up on ebay for not too many dollars. Forget ProT…

Thanks for reply, thats great news! german is no problem for me neither making my own pcb. Anyway what software do you use with the midi interface, and what hardware do you plug in…

I built two of Mac RS422 to MIDI interface devices using the description given in the c't magazine. This interface works very well (powered from serial port, 1 x MIDI in, 2 x MIDI …

Seems okay to me too... a ][+ is getting to be relatively rare these days. I've seen crappy IIe's sell for more.

The pricing there is reasonable in my opinion. $50 total equates to about £25 and most Apple II gear goes for way more than that here.

All of Herb Johnson's stuff is overpriced. Click to expand... I kinda had that thought too, but it's really odd because he has this note on the Apple II's for sale page: Th…

Last I heard, Apple II prices are starting to get up there. But you're right, the missing keycap is a cosmetic problem at the very least and a functional problem at worst. (IIRC,…
