The Dove board fitted over the existing RAM. I'm not quite sure how, but everything I've seen about it says it snaps into place on top of the existing RAM chips. The Dove upgrade c…

Ok I'll try the steel wool. I tried a pencil eraser but it didn't seem to help. The contacts on one seem to be a bit corroded or damaged so that's probably the issue.

$400?!? Dang.. He/she should have at least made it open to bidding, and started a little lower. Then he/she would be fairly likely to get that. But with a simple buy-it-now at …

just something to try ...scuffing the contacts lightly with some fine grit steel wool, works better than pencil eraser on mismatched "settled in" parts, but its dust is highly cond…
If these SIMMs are all identical, then at least 1 of the 4 is dirty or bad. Check to see if the numbers on the actual chips match from SIMM to SIMM. If they're different at all, …

Impressive back story or not, I don't think I'd bid anywhere near that much for an item from a brand-new eBay seller.
I mean, come on... Sell off some lesser-valued memorabilia f…

Scooped up this one today. Has all floppies and documentation that go with the 6100 DOS card. Now all I need is the actual card and angle adapter for my 6100 DOS compatible.

Yes I found it.
When I put the 'bad' set of RAM in I get a normal chime but then nothing happens (the OS never loads). When I stick a good set in the other bank I get the chimes …

The machine has chew marks on it from someone opening the case improperly in the past. It also has a noticeable deep scratch in the front plastic, just about the CRT. It is also …
PDS required that the SE had a Slot Manager

Well I finally got the IIfx working. Turns out both of my SuperDrives are bad (not sure if they're fixable) but I had a spare working HD so I was able to get it to boot into Syste…
Shockingly, I'm not going to quote anyone here.
As a relatively recent and relatively uninvolved member of this nice little piece of the internet, my opinion probably means an inf…
