I believe it was possible to daisy chain a Hard Disk 20 with a floppy drive. On just the right Mac, you could maybe hook up 4 floppy "devices". Unless you can chain multiple hard…

Mice have caps in them too, but I've yet to have a mouse go bad on me, so I've never taken the time to swap out the caps. And that holds true for mice manufactured in 1984 and ear…

I''ve found 409 to work on any plastic surface. The dirtier it is, the longer you simply need to leave the 409 on it. I've even used 409 on wooden tables that have pen marks (bal…

Welcome, and good job getting the LCIII up and going. Best of luck getting that SE/30 up!

Can we look into 'enabling' tapatalk for the forums which will enable native browsing of forums?

Whenever I switch my Macintosh SE FDHD on or off, there is a static pip. Does anyone know why?

It could be a bad ADB connector. I had these on both sides of the IIgs keyboard I used with my SE/30. I resoldered the pads but still had problems. I then replaced the cable but…

Some random finds from the boxes: A Spectrum SE/30 pds video card with cable and connection assembly for SE/30 (maybe the SE too?); A Radius Two-Page Display SE/30 pds video (thi…

I'll have to try 409 sometime. Would it work on the plastic of a slot-loading iMac as well?

Welcome, comrade! Which weighs more, the III or the monitor? )

Welcome to the 68kMLA! Great job breathing new life into the LC III. Your next project should be a fun one. Good luck and keep us updated!

Okay... I will try another Keyboard and see if that works. I tried both ports and that didn't cure the problem. thanks for the input. Adam

Yep, you're correct. The max number of drives you can get on a Mac is three. Two internal (SE only?) and one external. Tempest Click to expand... The SE, the LC, the full-s…

And the plastics of the machines are mostly excellent - even on the SE. Am I excited? You can tell I'm excited, can't you?

One full Dodge Grand Caravan load and one further half load later, I am well and truly stocked up on old Mac goodies - i.e., my Garage is a great deal more full of crap than it wa…

Glad to hear! That drove me crazy for weeks. By the time I thought I knew for certain what it was, the 30 day Windows eXtra Poop activation grace period was up, so I had to reinsta…

It worked! I can boot system 7.5 off of the ssd now. Fantastic. It's a bit pain having to have about 800000 partitions though.

Interesting point about the nature of the HD, it is a non-original HD, it's a 500 MB drive. I originally thought it was an 80 MB when I got it but then I realized it had two hidden…

Hello, I am new here. I am happy to join up with my many like-minded comrades. I wish I would have discovered this place earlier. Here is my latest restoration, my first one in a…

This is due to the HD giving off magnetic waves which piss off the CRT. Get an ESD cover for the HD or put an original HD in. Click to expand... This is NOT the problem. The CL…

Axiotronic is not certified by Apple AFAIK.

Yeah, that's what I had gathered from Lowendmac and such. I suppose I'll be on the lookout for one then - I've been wanting a desktop Power Mac besides the fact.

I don't think the DOS card would work in a 6400 since it has to connect to either the PDS slot of the 8100 or a NUBUS slot, neither of which the 6400 has. The closest you might ge…

Even though you cleaned up the board and got it to boot, the capacitors on the motherboard are still bad and need to be replaced. Any electrical fluctuations will first show up in …
