I wish I could help with a picture or something, but most of my stuff is in storage in central Illinois, and I'm in England. However, if memory serves, it required 19vDC, 2A. Ther…

There are rumours that the Sonnet 7200/4400 G3 upgrade - that actually goes into a PCI slot - has been made to work in other machines. IIRC, someone on the 6400zone forums got it …

Do you know the voltage/can you post a picture of your power cord? I think it would work, but I really don't know if the power cord I have will work with it. also, is there a pram…

All I know is that often, old clones like that relied on ROMs pulled from donor Macs (ROMs couldn't be purchased individually or legally cloned) in an interesting arrangement: they…

I have a 3000 series with a 68EC030 on an SE ROM, but I think I shorted out the logic board when I tried replacing the failing hard drive years ago (it won't go past the initial ka…

I second phreakout and Bunsen's suggestion to ensure the OS 9 drivers checkbox is ticked. Because Apple would rather pretend that Mac OS 9 never existed, when you format a volume i…

Also, OS 9.1 doesn't recognize OS X volumes natively. You need to make sure that you have a file extension called 'carblib version 1.6' installed. Carblib, short for Carbon Library…

I had to install USB Mass Storage Support. Works a treat now.

Just a quick question. I've seen it mentioned that 8.6 and up supports flash drives. But I can't get a fresh 8.6 install on my B&W G3 to read one (while it works fine in 9.…

I did some research and it seems your Farallon Etherwave has some sort of support for TCP/IP. Click to expand... Farallon / EtherMac and EtherWave adapters. / Drawbacks …

I think a lot of Passport software used dastardly copy protection... I tried to crack - er liberate - a few but had no luck. Don't think I have TurboTrax hidden anywhere though

Was checking 8bit sound and fury and alas even they don't have the Passport TurboTrax software I need for my lovely Wenger (Passport) Soundchaser system. I have the ever annoying …

Most of the software is already posted on 8-bit Sound and Fury website. Is there a particular archive where this should be?

excessive shorted turns in the primary of the flyback will cause the flyback, and the horizontal output transistor to run excessively hot. Keep this in mind as well.... loose cores…

I have one that fizzes Nicola Tesla stylee (big blue arcs of HV) the sparks come from the triper (next to where the red HT cable is attached) to the scan coil cables, looks great i…

I know this thread is now somewhat old. I have an Atari ST 1040 with Sequencer One Plus (now free) and that is the tightest to date. It has two issue that get me, one is it sends …

There's a bit of renewed activity on the comp.sys.apple2 newsgroup on the AlphaSyntauri and Soundchaser systems It would be wonderful to have the full set of demos songs &…

that red LED might be normal. I never seen one of these laptops, so i dont know for sure though. but i doubt you feel like tearing it all the way apart to find out if its a 2 legge…

Is there a power switch? If not, you might try the all four arrow keys thing that works on the Model 125. Hmmm. I think I have a 2000 at home, but I have never made time to lo…

Anyone know for sure what that glyph over the red light means as a status indicator? I had a laptop from the early 90's that had a status light with a similar glyph, if it was red…

http://www.flickr.com/photos/43519791@N02/sets/72157622451600017/ thats the correct link to the pictures. It is the notebook (model 2000 i think), and I still have not been able t…

Probably way too late... And the link above doesn't work. But if it's a Laptop Model 125, you hold down the four arrow keys simultaneously. However, the keyboard has its own bat…

For the record, the first Mac to use ATAPI optical drives was the LPX-40/Tanzania motherboard design used in the 4400 and Mac clones.

I had success repairing two of my mac portables with Sad Macs after lengthy board repairs. As for opening the batteries, its been quite some time since I opened one, I used a box …
