To adjust the tilt of the monitor you have to adjust the yoke on the back of the CRT. The adjustments section of the service manual explains how to do this: http://www.apple-colle…

I just got my hands a nice looking Macintosh IIfx. It has full memory banks (not sure how much) and three NuBus cards in it, but I'm not sure what they do: 1. Says Super Mac Tech…

I have a nice looking Macintosh Classic, the only problem is that the image is slightly tilted to the right. It needs a little adjustment to make everything right again. What's t…

This PowerBook 5300c is not so much a conquest as the rebirth of a conquest. The machine came to me several months ago with the usual broken power connector, and has been left on a…

8MB of RAM or less, OS 6.08, more then that and 7.1 looks good. I have ethernet cards in both of my SE/30's and with 32MB of RAM OS 7.1 with OpenTransport works well.

Have a newly acquired SE/30 which I'd like to reload an operating system on. I'm admittedly not familiar with the pros and cons of different operating system versions or what othe…

Thanks people - I'll try your suggestions and report back.

I use option-8, the "bullet" and it works great for what you're doing. Has anybody got the ASCII special character sort list handy to post? :?:

My intent was to learn how to spot a card that would function in the SE/30 as a grayscale setup. Sadly, no one would answer me as I had hoped. It never ceases to amaze me just ho…

I posted a similar question recently (go to that thread, then search for JDW -- it's my 2nd post). My intent was to learn how to spot a card that would function in the SE/30 as a …

Can't tell exactly which model it is. My guess is that it's a Color30 or a MacroColor30, but I don't know how to tell just looking at it. Any help appreciated. FCC ID is F5R0369…

It used to be quite common to use a special bracket to piggyback the hard drive on top of the second floppy. The bracket moved the hard drive further back inside the computer case…

Bunsen, I'd say the Alpha Syntauri was the the most advanced synth to run on an 8-bit personal computer, but even in it's day it was only a poor man's Prophet (Profit?) Five. The M…

840av plastics are typically brittle these days, unfortunately — very like the 9500's also.

It went for a lot - over $350 in the end - wow! The Duo is sweet too...

It's been a long time since I've used it, but I believe Bernie ][ The Rescue is what you need. I used to set up a small ProDOS formatted RAM disk in MacOS and copy whatever files t…

Heat is what I'm concerned about since there isn't much room in that case for air to flow normally much less with a third component crammed inside. Sure I can do it with a little …

I have an SE SuperDrive with two floppies and a HD mounted - bought it here a couple years ago actually. The floppy drives need to be cleaned so I've been meaning to open it up. …

You could use any terminal software - the old xmodem/ymodem sorts of stuff would work. The options on the two endpoints are limitless. ProTERM seems to be a good alternative on t…

I'm using ADT (*not* ADTPro because of a hardware issue) to transfer disk images from a Mac to a GS. Disk images (.dsk) transfer fine, but individual files do not. Is there a pro…

I say a good solution would involve some duct tape.

From what I've read it is possible to put two disk drives and a hard drive into the SE, but it requires a special mounting bracket. Has anyone ever seen one of these before? Is i…
