I'd say your assessment is correct, but that the cleaning (which had to happen) not only helped establish that, but also helped establish that the machine may otherwise be just fin…

I actually spotted that auction on eBay! Nice conquest. :O

My motherboard looks absolutely beautiful and after waiting some extra days as advised I decided to go for it. I reassembled the IIci and it immediately booted up (spontaneously)…

oh man....hypercard developemet kit 8-o

I've tried three floppy drives. 2 are from LCs, 1 from a IIci. They all do the same thing even with different cables. I do have my broken motherboard. Is there a way I can iden…

I am merely looking for a piano replacement that will let them play with some synthesizer-like effects. But keyboard action is the key. Click to expand... Still doesn't answer …

I've had issues like that when connecting the wrong type of floppy drive to an older machine. Try an older drive, closer to the LC era.

You wouldn't have any interest in parting with the copy of Microsoft Flight Simulator, would you?

Plenty of businesses would buy multiple copies of business software and just open one and install that set on all their machines (in the 80's and early 90's). Be careful with the …

Nice, how much were they? Click to expand... They were arbitrarily priced from $2-$6 each. I pretty much cleaned them out of shrinkwrapped Mac software. I did turn down some no…

Nice, how much were they?

It helps keep things organized if you dedicate machines to specific software/tasks. There are a few machines in my collection I got for free and was about to toss because they loo…

I finally got around during the past couple of days of idleness over the holidays to reassembling the IIfx (in Mac II case) mentioned in the above posts. Some observations: Dirt…

Very nice. Boxed stuff is so rare. I actually have boxes with no corresponding (serial # matched) machines... I have one for a 7600, one for a PowerBook G3, a G3 Tower, and an App…

Have you tried a different cable? Also, have you tried both the cable and drives on a different Mac? If you have, I'd say there's an issue with the SWIM chip.

nice

Holy cow, nice! I've been meaning to go to a Goodwill to check it out.

Unless you have files you need to keep, what you do is first boot from the Disk Tools disk. Then run Apple HD SC setup. Erase the HDD. Restart (it should eject the floppy), now …

So I finally got a motherboard replacement for my broken LC, but it has a weird problem. When I connect a floppy drive, it'll constantly try to access the drive. It'll then pop u…

I spoke too soon, I went to restart and the question mark face was back.

Ok, this was great! I did all these steps and got in. So, how would I search to see if there is private, personal info on it? When I shut down and restart do I need to use the Disk…

MIDI can be transfered either via USB or via a MIDI-to-USB interface. I've used my synths both ways with GarageBand.

Try setting the jumpers on the back of both drives to CS (cable select). Also, take the RAM down from 1.25GB to say 512MB, if possible. Sometimes OSX will do funky things when yo…

JDW is correct on what he has said. Most display issues are centralized around analog technology, hence the analog board. If it were a problem centralized with the logic board, y…
