The "lisp co-processor" runs its own operating system called "Genera" which is dramatically different from windows/unix derivatives like osx and windows. The operating system is to…

Thanks guys! It so great to keep the old 68k alive. Nostalgia of my kid years. Bunsen , the site needs login and password :-( PM me please I love them games.

If you want to boot one without a good battery, you need a later PowerBook AC adapter, one that puts out at least 2 amps. I use a model M5652, which is 3.0 Amps at 7.5 Volts. It's …

i was reading that alot of older software wasnt compatible with 128K roms Click to expand... Out of curiosity, do you have a reference for that? There seems to be a lot of conf…

Very nice, everybody! Keep them coming! I'd really like to find a larger rendition of the first one I posted. I like the font in the logo.

I don't think it would collide with the tube if the floppy drive in particular weren't in the way. It might well do that if attached to the riser card pictured, however. Click t…

Just got a Macintosh Plus from local auction site. Comes with Macintosh Plus 1Mb, Mouse, Keyboard and a box of original manuals (with disks). Too bad the case is yellowed and so d…

It could well be the power manager. You can reset it - I forget the key combo, but perhaps Apple's support pages have the info.

That is indeed a beastly conquest! Might I ask where you found it? I agree with you that that is about the best pre-G3 Mac there is, and possibly some way into the G3 era. A 350…

Hi, Today I picked up a WorkGroup Server 9650/350 - nigh on my idea of the "ultimate" Mac (just short of a Quad G5!). Super expandability with a super case to work on. Total cos…

When I jiggle the power plug in the back of the powerbook, the socket feels a bit loose. It worked well all afternoon today after I did that....I think my son in his enthusiasm has…
