I leave the keys around the space bar (generally the open-apple and closed-apple keys) off until I get the space bar on. That leaves some room for fiddling the metal bar on. The ba…

You're not kidding when you say "broken engine"... sounds like a spun bearing in a V6 engine. Diagnose it like a broken engine then. Open the case wide open, start the machine up …

I see nothing in the fan.

You've got something in the fan… I wouldn't worry that much, since you can hear the startup chime. What's going on, apart from the noise? Does the computer boot? A QUicksilver case…

8-o Did it eat your chips? ;D

That should be 'of'. Dammit, I can't edit.

Gussie Fink-Nottle is, in the inimitable words or Bertie Wooster, a 'Newt fancier'. As Jeeves might put it, however, the MessagePad appellation is of my own invention.

Sorry for interrupting with non-Newton talk, but Gussie Fink-Notle?! Awesome! Did you make that up? Long time fan of P. G. Wodehouse here... Peace, Drew

Hi everyone around! I now have some time again to continue my quest for Softwindows-2-68k (if it exists). As I already said in above post, I want to try to contact one of the devel…

Attention all 'Gussie Fink-Nottles'! Eckhart Köppen's new fix for the 2010 problem on the Newton MessagePad 2100 is now available here. Development is, I gather, also underway for…

"It depends." Take a read here: http://lukazi.blogspot.com/2009/04/game-controller-atari-joysticks.html There are different ways to adapt the digital-to-analog world of Atari-to…

I just washed all of my IIe's keys. All of them went back fine except the space bar. I do not know how to put it back on. How do you do it? Click to expand... I'm going from me…

I just prefer using D-pads over joysticks which is why I wanted to use a Genesis controller. Would it work?

I just found this adapter on eBay. Since Genesis controllers are compatible with Atari, this is a loophole to allow using a Genesis controller with an Apple II, right? Has anybody …

i have downloaded the files, but only the iso files, if anyone is interested send me an PM and i send you the link to my server. ;D

I am interested in downloading these, for archival purposes. Is anyone willing to seed them or put them on a FTP server?

I was just looking around for someone interested in a Voodoo 2 card for the Mez slot of a Bondi iMac and found these posts. I heard it was disabled with the 1.2 firmware "update." …

Dammit, I was a day too late!!! Someone should seed this as a torrent. If they do, I'll set it up on my 'permanent seed' list.

Last chance on this. Going to pull my server offline in the morning. DL as much as you want or can overnight.

Thank you all. This is very helpful. The gist of it in my judgment is that the re-celling of a 2400c battery would be slightly speculative, but worth the price of speculation in t…

Best I can tell the controller boards are all custom but the heart of the intelligence is in chips that can be custom or commercial parts. The intelligent battery controller in th…

You might also want to search this forum for Wally's posts on this subject. He's done the most thorough experimentation and research of anyone I know. I'll briefly share my experie…

Ok, I understand. Thanks for the info!

But I certainly can connect to an OS X machine when typing its IP in the Chooser. Isn't that the same? Click to expand... No. When you enter an IP address in the Chooser, you …
