Without major hacking at the cables (if its even possible), its impossible - the cables are completely different.

They are subjectively (I didn't measure, just put the books next to each other) the same width, and without the function keys, approximately the same height. Anyone have a clue on…

Choose an iMac with USB, and then get any of many USB/serial adapters. Keyspan springs readily to mind, and they have been at it since at least 1998. The adapters fetch up to USD…

I'm thinking of getting an older iMac, so I can retire my aging 9500.. I like using my laserwriter 16/600...and stylewriter 2400... but you can't use 'em offhand with the imac...…

Fiber optics with small nicks in the run works pretty well, having everything lead back to a single LED. There was an iBook one done this way that did, as you mention, tie into the…

There is a hack somewhere on macmod.com. It's for a tiBook I think but it should work for yours too. I think he used Fiber Optic.

Hey, I have been wanting to do a hack to backlight my lobmard keyboard. I was thinking I should use some light string, but I dont know how I should power it. I was thinking maybe …

I found a seller in the US who has lithium cells with built in protection circuits. I think 18650 and 4/3A are the same - I remember I found him while looking for cells from my ow…

Thanks for the info. I think ill look into it more after iv got my iMac.

I cannot speak for the video angle, but the only real advantage to the IIe is expansion. If you don't need expansion, you'll probably be happier with a IIc+. Here's why: - The I…

The IIc+ was only sold in the US so to get it running on your electricity, you would need some sort of external 110 to 220 volt converter. I don't think there is a switch on the ba…

A small update, in that removal of the USB card effected nothing but removal of the USB card, so back in it went for my printer's sake. However, in the frew-ing and toe-ing brough…

Yer the IIe sounds good. Need to researh it a bit more, most sites are from the US.

Me and a friend saved an IIe from school, and I *used* to have a II growing up as a kid, so I would say go with the IIe just because it is the beefed up II and would have more soft…

Im thinking about buying an Apple two but i have some questions first. It would be a IIc+ or a IIe, which would be best for in the UK? From what iv read Apple II's that are PAL d…

The USB 2.0 card was present during the Mac's month-long existence as a 533MHz machine, with no untoward behaviour evident. But your thought had also crossed my mind as an avenue …

ROM03 machines have less background noise coming from the speaker. It's most noticeable from within GSOS, where the processor and video hardware stay pretty busy.

Out of curiosity, does the mouse issue persist if you remove the 6-port PCI-X USB 2.0 NEC card? Cheers, Rick

Although Macally seems not to allow the name of the iKey4 to cross its lips any more, I found a generalized FAQ page about iKey keyboards. The mouse freeze issue is related …

The SCSI card will be the hard one to find (cheap). You might want a bigger RAM card for a ram drive.

I think I'll go with the ROM 03 for my IIGS setup. I want to get GS/OS running off an HD someday. My ROM 01 has a 1 MB RAM card. I can put that in the ROM 03 and get 2 MB. Then I j…

ROM 3 has 1MB built in. I guess it depends on if you are going to run GS/OS from a HD or just want to play games from floppy. ROM 3 for GS/OS, ROM 1 for floppy based games.

Probably the ROM 3. More onboard memory means that you will have more memory overall. The updated ROM should mean that less of the Toolbox is in RAM too, which is handy. I think…

I have both a ROM 01 and a ROM 03 IIGS. Which one should I use?
