How many Disk drives can be attached to an Apple II? I know some later Apple IIc's could support up to 3 total (with two external daisy chained), and the Apple III could use up to …

The IIci and IIcx do use the same kind of mount, 700 should also since it is in a IIcx type of case.

This AppleVision 1710AV display was intercepted at the local recycler for $10, and it's a real survivor. It has minimal discoloration, a near perfect screen, and it even had the o…

Alright, thanks. I really want to secure the hard drive so I can run the Macintosh IIcx sideways without worries.

Probably so. They're not needed, in any case, unless you just like having the hard drive secured.

My 2400c had something similar with its backlight after I restored it. I assume that it had not run for several years before I did the surgery needed.   I found that regular use s…

Could a Quadra 700 hard disk caddy be used in a Macintosh IIcx? I have my eyes set on a Macintosh IIcx on eBay which is missing the hard drive and the caddy, and I have a Quadra 70…

My Retrochallenge blog will be at: http://conceitedjerk.tripod.com/retro09.html Nothing's there yet, will have something up (likely) tomorrow! :b&w:

Well, today the 550c started up just fine as it did yesterday. Unfortunately, the random fade out (and restore) of the screen backlight is still with it. No rhyme or reason to it. …

I use my quicksilver with EyeTv as a PVR. Occasionally I import a tv show into iMovie and burn it to a DVD for someone. Wayne

I will try OS 7.5.5, but it seems 3rd party board, so I don't believe in success. What hardware probers can you recommend? I have no idea about them. As for my local people - at …

You could use it as extra processing for re encoding videos and such. Or as a remote iTunes player. Or extra processing for someone else. Check out Folding@Home.

So I've got this Quicksilver that I've had for quite sometime now, but unfortunately, its spent more time occupying my closet floor than being used. What is this thing good to use …

Success! This thing is sitting here with a clean install of OS 7.5 just purring away! Lost the RAMDoubler app in the process, might have that somewhere amidst my vintage sof…

With my neck in a brace from the whiplash I got when I opened the mailbox earlier this afternoon to discover the replacement AC adapter I'd bought on eBay on Saturday had arrived(!…

As the others have stated Alkaline, NiMH and Nicad batteries are mostly harmless, unless your handling large amounts of juice over long periods of time, scrub down good with hot wa…

cool, I went to my dad's house and got his "the applesoft tutorial", which has been sitting in the same drawer since his apple //e was brand new except for a tiny wrinkle on the d…

Oh yes, I am ready to get started. I have been studying the "Programming the 6502" book which I obtained just for this project. I now know the equivalent of Applesoft's PEEK, POKE…

yea i saw that after i posted and the cheesefactory 404's cause i havent put anything there (yet) thanks

The PRAM battery is a NiCd, so no need to worry about lithium. However, cadmium is none too good for humans (and nickel isn't benign, either). Casual exposure is unlikely to be a p…

I managed to find a PowerBook Video adapter on ebay for a very affordable $3 ($9 with shipping). The item came in its original 1992 Apple packaging and worked out of the box with m…

The board is very small for the early/mid 1990s. There is no socket for an optional FPU. So it may have been designed for one of the NuBus LC family, and thus may work with OS ship…

I've got the following card for my 475: { "lightbox_close": "Close", "lightbox_next": "Next", "lightbox_previous": "Previous", "lightbox_error": "The requested…
