I think I've already made my contribution as to the Lounge and other topics under discussion here. I just have one question: Is it really that bad around here? Seriously? There…

I recall reading a tutorial once about converting a Disk II to use directly on an Apple III, instead of buying the more expensive Disk III mechanism. But in recent Googling, I can …

Were can you get old Macs in Ohio? Preferably the Dayton area? I can't find anyplace that sells them, or people who want to get rid of them. :'( Thanks, agg23

Oh, well this is rather unfortunate. ADC was the stupidest thing apple ever created. I do have a PC 15" monitor that I can use, but the quality on apple displays is far superior. T…

Everything you describe sounds like voltage problems. Your Mac is out of whack. Get yourself a multimeter and go to work, starting with Dr. Lee's excellent notes. Then get yourself…

2. The raster seems to be a little out of whack. I'm assuming the CRT itself needs adjustment, Click to expand... It could even be the power supply.

VideoSpigot for $16 shipped on eBay (BIN). That's not such a good deal, right? :-/ Click to expand... That's a great deal IMHO - if you want video input. AFAIR, the only othe…
