I don't think it would collide with the tube if the floppy drive in particular weren't in the way. It might well do that if attached to the riser card pictured, however. Click t…

To get the screen geometry right, ie the height:width ratio, change the desktop pattern to the one that looks like a checkerboard close up (ie grey, alternating black/white pixels)…

That last one is perfect for a steampunk monitor mod

It could well be the power manager. You can reset it - I forget the key combo, but perhaps Apple's support pages have the info.

That is indeed a beastly conquest! Might I ask where you found it? I agree with you that that is about the best pre-G3 Mac there is, and possibly some way into the G3 era. A 350…

When I jiggle the power plug in the back of the powerbook, the socket feels a bit loose. It worked well all afternoon today after I did that....I think my son in his enthusiasm has…

Ahh ok, I was confusing the lack of the bumps on the old machines. Its surprising how distracting it is to touch type when I'm used to the home key bumps on the H and F. Hmm mayb…

I didn't take the PRAM battery out. Will a dead PRAM battery keep it from booting? Click to expand... Yes it will. Unplug it and it should boot up when you press the power bu…

Or a fabric (or even paper) seamstress measuring tape works great.

The spotty one is called Arabesque, I have it in 1600 by 1200, and also I have another treat: Arabesque: Flying Apple:

so i could use a USB flash drive, or SD memory Click to expand... Now you're talkin! I've been thinking the same thing. Just don't have time to take on a project like that.

Mine might be bad cappy. I'll investigate. Right now it just clicks, but won't boot.

It's an Apple thing. Many older typewriters had no bump on ANY key. Even the pre-ADB Apple keyboards are missing the bump. It was with the ADB era (and the //c, for that matter,…

yea. well the reason i am asking questions like this, because in my spare time, i have a 512k system here, i was going to start modding it. keep it strictly for a mod machine. my …

I second this suggestion. Worked for every pismo I had that did not turn on.

A0 is called UDS (Upper Data Select) and LDS (Lower Data Select) at the 68000 chip. That way, it can read either byte singly or both together. You're right, A0 as such doesn't usua…

Use a flexible steel or plastic ruler.

Yea i was making it harder than what it really was. the ROM is 64kilobytes total, 32K in each chip. but each chip is on a 64K addressing system, so in theory it can address up to 1…
