Just a quick question. I've seen it mentioned that 8.6 and up supports flash drives. But I can't get a fresh 8.6 install on my B&W G3 to read one (while it works fine in 9.…

I did some research and it seems your Farallon Etherwave has some sort of support for TCP/IP. Click to expand... Farallon / EtherMac and EtherWave adapters. / Drawbacks …

I think a lot of Passport software used dastardly copy protection... I tried to crack - er liberate - a few but had no luck. Don't think I have TurboTrax hidden anywhere though

Was checking 8bit sound and fury and alas even they don't have the Passport TurboTrax software I need for my lovely Wenger (Passport) Soundchaser system. I have the ever annoying …

Most of the software is already posted on 8-bit Sound and Fury website. Is there a particular archive where this should be?

excessive shorted turns in the primary of the flyback will cause the flyback, and the horizontal output transistor to run excessively hot. Keep this in mind as well.... loose cores…

I have one that fizzes Nicola Tesla stylee (big blue arcs of HV) the sparks come from the triper (next to where the red HT cable is attached) to the scan coil cables, looks great i…

I know this thread is now somewhat old. I have an Atari ST 1040 with Sequencer One Plus (now free) and that is the tightest to date. It has two issue that get me, one is it sends …

There's a bit of renewed activity on the comp.sys.apple2 newsgroup on the AlphaSyntauri and Soundchaser systems It would be wonderful to have the full set of demos songs &…

that red LED might be normal. I never seen one of these laptops, so i dont know for sure though. but i doubt you feel like tearing it all the way apart to find out if its a 2 legge…

Is there a power switch? If not, you might try the all four arrow keys thing that works on the Model 125. Hmmm. I think I have a 2000 at home, but I have never made time to lo…

Anyone know for sure what that glyph over the red light means as a status indicator? I had a laptop from the early 90's that had a status light with a similar glyph, if it was red…

http://www.flickr.com/photos/43519791@N02/sets/72157622451600017/ thats the correct link to the pictures. It is the notebook (model 2000 i think), and I still have not been able t…

Probably way too late... And the link above doesn't work. But if it's a Laptop Model 125, you hold down the four arrow keys simultaneously. However, the keyboard has its own bat…

For the record, the first Mac to use ATAPI optical drives was the LPX-40/Tanzania motherboard design used in the 4400 and Mac clones.

I had success repairing two of my mac portables with Sad Macs after lengthy board repairs. As for opening the batteries, its been quite some time since I opened one, I used a box …

I had two dead Portable batteries. I wanted to re-cell them, so I attempted opening one with a screwdriver, but that totally messed up and and bent the plastic. I have one remainin…

No, they don't all have working batteries.. yet. I have a whole stack of macs, I have been collecting them for years, due to the fact many that I bought had varying problems with …

If you installed any backwards, that is exactly the problem. You have a lot of Portables. What do you do with them all? Do they all have batteries that work?

Actually i think i know why.. It seems I installed the all the wrong way around... ARG! Why is the painted stripe on SMD caps negative, but positive on tantalums! GO FIGURE!@ WO…

Hi Everyone I've just rebuilt about 12 of my Mac Portable's however I had one issue, when I replaced my some of my portables SMD caps with Tantalums, well 3 of them caught fire! …

You can certainly use DVD-RAM with old 68k Macs... I was doing it for years as a backup medium for my SE/30. You need "DVD-RAM Tune-Up" which is abandonware (and very hard to find…

Yes, trag's caps are great. I need to get some more from him. I am missing one capacitor in order to complete the replacement on my SE/30. I am also missing one capacitor in order …

Thanks to Trag whose handy capacitor kits make it easy to get into fixing up these boards. If it weren't for him, my portables would still be sitting dead in the closet. :beige: …

I posted it on Macintosh Garden some time ago. It should still be there.
