I wonder if it is related to the .kext files. When my Beige G3 was working I had a similar issue. Something to try from Apple: http://support.apple.com/kb/TA22360?viewlocale=en_…

wow! the Powerbook 500 was really built well. Click to expand... But I always had a problem with the batteries sliding out. Had to use a giant rubberband to keep them in! C…

The keyboard. Try your spacebar.

I've had the same problem with a beige G3 tower running X.2, and with a ATI Rage 128 pci card installed. It seems to wake sometimes, and not others. Click to expand... What are…

Video card? Click to expand... No, it's using the built in old style Apple video connector.

Video card?

I heard about the exploding batteries but nothing about case quality or anything like that. Mind you I was wondering a little while ago why you never see any 5300s anywhere. Cli…

Now THERE'S a project for RetroChallenge! Lisa Office System is pretty capable (it even has spell check built in, a rarity for 1983 software) and integrates better than Office, iW…

My first thought would be to turn it into a web server or run a BBS off it... but I'm sometimes a bit of a masochist ;-)

Do you have a disk drive head cleaner? Click to expand... Do you mean those "fake floppies" with a cleaning brush on the disk? I don't, but I've seen some a while ago. What's t…

Make sure the 3.5" drives are first and the 5.25" drives are connected after them.

Another possibility: since you say you can get into the Control Panel go to the Control Panel and select Slots, look at the Startup Slot setting and make sure it either says Scan o…

Then I just tried to stick one of the old floppies in a Mac. And I amazingly saw it mount just fine on the Mac's desktop, with a ProDOS icon and all its files. So it seems that my…

Do you have a disk drive head cleaner?

5300's are good machines. I second the idea of upgrading the LCD to an active matrix one. I would like to find one and do this to mine. They are so bloody cute. Then again so was…

an update: rambling about, I found an error 82 chat on http://www.mail-archive.com/lisalist@mail.maclaunch.com/msg00167.html. 82 is "no hard drive response"... James suggested flip…

It is a separate large beige part - looks like a brick. You can see one in the picture of this auction: http://cgi.ebay.com/Apple-IIC-Ext-drive-power-supply-cables-disk_W0QQitemZ3…

No, I don't have a power supply... Would I be looking for something like this? http://cgi.ebay.com/Vintage-Apple-IIc-Replacement-MB-Power-Supply_W0QQitemZ170280188187QQcmdZVie…

Do you have a power supply? Looks as if that is not included in the auction.

All you need to hook it up to a regular TV is a composite video cable (the yellow RCA-type video cable). You probably have one of these laying around somewhere but if you don't you…

Hi, Okay, I just now bought this Apple IIc on eBay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=270330824177 It was listed as 'un…

Okay, great! Thanks! I've just been outbid on a Macintosh Plus that I was going for on eBay, so I decided to go for an Apple IIc instead. (I'm still going for a Plus, of course,…

No, doesn't make a lot of sense as beachycove said. From the looks of eBay US, you can get a Pismo 500MHz for around $250-300.

No, it is not worth it, if worth is calculated in terms of cold, rational thought. You can buy a Pismo for $200.
