Possibly a long shot, but do you happen to have lying around from your Mac-hacking a Localtalk-to-Ethernet bridge? If you can lay your hands on one you can use the project files fo…

Thanks. So I'm thinking I need to do this: 1. Install a IIgs emulator 2. Import the Apple SEA archive into the IIgs emulator 3. Run the SEA to uncompress it into an uncompressed…

All the original files from Apple are 800k Disk Copy 4.2 images in self extracting archives. To install on a HD you need all 6 disks. Disk 7 is used for AppleShare servers only. Di…

OK, I'm a bit confused how to get GS/OS 6.0.1 onto this machine. Looking at the Apple mirror here: http://asa.max1zzz.co.uk/English-North_American/Apple_II/Apple_IIGS_System_6.0.1/…

OK, I see how it is. That second card... It's a 16GB? Since it crashes, something is wrong with the partition and formatting. The one that does boot (I'm assuming it too is a CF),…

I'm sure you've got this covered but just in case, there is also a front cover switch that acts the same way as the back switch in killing the power supply.  You have to "fake out"…

Yep, pretty common on the 1.8amp PS. Uniserver is right, that's most likely your issue.

I didn't address your post properly. I apologize. There were RAM cards in the 5300/3400/Kanga. I had reseated the one in the 5300 after the problem and before posting, so I didn…

You mean these guys?  ...and do the lower numbers have any significance (do I have to find one that matches 8426, or just a 2N6308?)

For a 5300 or any NON-OSX System 8GB is more than enough. Anything more is just a waste unless you want OSX on a G3 and 16GB would be a minimum for that.

Raoulduke, you misread my post. In "RAM Card in the 5300", is there added RAM in the system, if so, is that card loose? It is not the CF FlashRAM card or PCMCIA slot. Only way to t…

You should be able to petition it into 2gb partitions. If that's not going to work a smaller card should, although you may need a third party formatting software either way.

I've been talking to the company that sold me the adapter.  They suggested I try a smaller memory card.  Is 16gb too much for OS 9?  If there's a maximum I would imagine it's way m…

i think those round looking motorola power transistors burn out in that psu… look up that model number on it and see if they are still available. those same things go bad with ham…

I wasn't too clear, but I was sort of inferring the same thing.  I think the compliance issue goes beyond Cardbus, though - since it hasn't worked properly on either the 3400 or Ka…

The Classic does!

I discovered I can hit control+reset on the IIgs and get a BASIC prompt. Who needs startup disks?! Wow, I wish the Mac had as much useful stuff built into ROM.

I wouldn't assume your widget is broken, until you've connected it to an actual Lisa. Maybe the brake isn't supposed to deactivate until it sees a certain signal from the computer,…

My borrowed widget drive also makes loud click-clack sounds when powered on and off. I assume that's normal? The guy who I borrowed the Lisa from said initially the drive didn't s…

I like to add to the current state that after a time the green light op top will burn continually. If you then switch of power you will hear a hard click. 

As promised  pictures of the Widget drive:

Great, now I've got that song in my head.
