My first reaction was to laugh. I mean the first requirement is to dither your video source down to 1-bit color. But there may be some application. I seem to recall some animation …

I had that "tar" in the bottom of my SystemSaver GS. Had to clean it all out, disgusting. xx(

It might also be important to note that most floppy drives do heat up during operation (although probably more so 5.25" than 3.5" drives). Click to expand... I would say defini…

More details please...

I don't know about that. The pedigree of Apples was basically that everything was backwards compatible. Click to expand... Which was a double-edged sword, IMO, and what ultima…

This has already been done, hence why we have moved on to the more difficult challenge.

No, it was 16bit but could address 256Mb of memory with 18 address lines. A 6502 has 16 address lines but that doesn't make it a 16bit computer. If you went by that argument an 808…

The tar-like substance would have been some natural rubber isolating washers. The goo that you've discovered is the same stuff that is created inside printers, tape drives etc when…

The ChipQuik is a bit of overkill for capacitors, but it will make them easier to remove using just one soldering pencil. However, using two pencils is faster, about as easy and …

Wow, really? Go, Aussie dollar! Time to consider US$ purchase again.

:lol:

Before I knew it, my hands, my SyQuest, my CD-ROM drive, my pristine Extended II keyboard, the SE itself, and the ADB mouse II all had the tar on them. Click to expand... …

So without a fan I would be concerned about damaging components in the PSU due to excessive trapped heat....Apple included a fan with the SE to try and avoid any reoccurrence of th…

Wow, I had no idea that the box would be in that nice of a condition. 8-o

The PDP-7 was an 18-bit machine. Has a "real Unix" ever been developed for any 8- or 16-bit machine? Doesn't seem a big stretch to run in 16 bits. Click to expand... The orig…

As of this morning, $99 in plastic money is $82.28 in paper money.

The SCSI ID Jumper settings were actually on a sticker on the drive… [] ]'>

P.S.: please be so kind to share your results for the Q630 here.

Check with Mike Richardson on this board. I believe his outfit offers a capacitor replacement service and it might be more affordable than the Ebay company you found.

That's a nice looking job 4seasonphoto. Thank you for posting it. The ChipQuik is a bit of overkill for capacitors, but it will make them easier to remove using just one solderin…
