Great score for that price! It's always nice, in my opinion, to save a little Macintosh from doom.

Here is the thread. It's still pending, the work is simple enough to do, but with his move, wthww has been pretty short on personal time and connectivity to make the fixes.

I don't know if they're prone like the early iMacs, but it's definitely an known issue. Probably needs an analog board recap.

General DTK question: has anybody looked at operating systems other than Mac OS X on them? Windows 7, 8.1U1 or 10TP would probably do really well on this thing, especially if the P…

I agree with Macdrone. Apple Utility HD will format the drive if it is working. That is a Big if. What kind of noises is the drive making? Anything other a constant high pitched w…

Well you can try Apple HD utility on a system 7 floppy.  But I am gonna jump out on a limb and say the hard drive inside is stuck or dead unless you know it was erased.

As mentioned above, the first board is a Rev 7 RFI motherboard used in the Apple II+.  The second board looks like an earlier Rev 4 motherboard that was probably used in an Apple I…

Your best bet truly is to image the drive that came with it (unless you also got whatever installation media Apple shipped with it) and then put a new drive in to install some othe…

Damn, I missed that one.. I didn't search for just en/sc yet, whoops. Followed that search on eBay now. I'll make a WTB topic here tomorrow too.

The last SCSI to Ethernet adapter I saw on eBay went for for about ~200

I deffinatley have a copy of that around (i'm not going to post a link here as per the rules though)

Generally you have to look around for 6 months or so to find one cheap. The external SCSI Ethernet adapters are probably a better deal if you have more then one compact that needs …

Thanks haplain! It's supposed to be build 8F1111. It was once very popular, but like almost every torrent I know, it died many years ago. Back then, I don't think people saw the hi…

I'm fairly confident that I have the correct version of 10.4.3 for Intel on my NAS LaCie... I'll report back.

Like Bear said, the top is an Apple II+ board, the bottom is an Apple II. The boards are nearly identical, it is the ROM and the date tag that tell you but its a late model Apple I…

The first one is a II+ board. The bottom one has the characteristics of a II board, but some went into II+es so without seeing more details I don't think anybody can say that it de…

I honestly believe that running old macs with bad caps can lead to permanent damage. I could very well be wrong, but why take the risk?
