CE? I know since it is IDE, you can replace the IDE Drive in it and put in a CF with a CF-to-IDE Converter in it and watch it boot a lot faster and run for hours on battery! I hav…

They're so pretty though, I personally think the 2003 DP models are the most attractive computer interior ever made. I wish I still had my 1.8.

Could be a simple matter of protocol incompatibility, as there are a LOT of non-Apple routers on the market that Airport cards simply will not negotiate a connection with. Basicall…

Welp, can't sleep tonight as you can probably tell, and do not have to work until the evening, so I decided to stop procrastinating and remove the 2.0DP from my office as it was ta…

I also have the "Apple Preferred Components" book, circa 1990. It outlines electronic components to be used in Apple products. Not that I solder particularly well...

Man, this thing is a godsend... for the past 15 years Ive been using a small multi-bit driver with a handle just narrow enough to slide down the sides of a compact handle... except…

I finally bought an 18" Torx screwdriver to work on compacts. Bit long but it definitely works.

Update on the second Classic... took it apart yesterday after my last post, and glaringly obvious are what look to be the two filter caps busted open, which would have explained at…

Not gonna lie... I need some of this stuff!

Don't give up with old batteries. The Portable uses a lead acid battery, which can be exercised, possibly to rejuvenation. Boaters know people who have battery exercisers which can…

Before all of that is the Apple Answer Book QA. It has a beige cover, blue text with white knock outs. Content is Apple II and III. It's a three punch hole publication. The Apple A…

I think there's also a device you can buy just for doing low-level formats without the need of a ProFile card and special ROM.  I seem to recall seeing one on eBay.

Yeah, I'm thinking I'll use it for storage of one of my Pluses. I have another stored in the original box.

Yes - that case is cool!

The 190/5300 are notorious for having the power connector lose connection with the motherboard. Give that a check as well next time you open it up.  Click to expand... I agree wi…

I agree with Benson, I'd love to have a case like that for permanent mac storage.

Duo + 3400 IMO for reasons already discussed.  The two Nubus slots in the Dock would even let you use the Duo as a substitute desktop machine if space gets even tighter.

dat flightcase :O

Is this the chip which allows to low format a Profile ?

Could you explain a little bit where this is for?

So, having also bought a new set of 7" long torx bits and a long T-handle after my normal rather too short bit and driver walked away, I decided to take apart my rather nice Classi…

Was conquered at some stage or another so why the hell not?

Eh, it counts.
