Well, this was totally unexpected. I'm in the process of changing the layout of my room. I decided to arrange my desk so that I place my Pismo on the rolling shelf, more suited f…
The subject is the question. I am registered and confirmed, and it doesn't matter how many times I reload the web client, no one can hear me. The messages do appear without any fol…
Finally got around to putting in the stripy insert I bought from iColours to customize my iBook G3 600. Alas, I was only able to get one of the screws out to open up the lid. The o…
On a PowerBook 160 that I have been playing with this morning, I noticed, to my surprise, that if I turn off the 16 greys and set the Monitors Control Panel to display in B/W only,…

A coax jack on the back -- near the powerswitch -- for you to plug the included, rubbertipped telescope an…
So, I'm trying to get into my Classic II to install some RAM. I have a T-15 driver that will reach the silver screws under the handle. I can take a flashlight, shine it into the …
Hi,
I have a II GS with an Apple SCSI card hook to an external HD and ZIP drive. For the moment I have to disconnect the ZIP because it is somehow interfering with the HD, don't k…
Hi,
I've been toying with the Acard 7720 SCSI/IDE adaptor http://www.acard.com/english/fb01-product.jsp?idno_no=23&prod_no=AEC-7720U&type1_title=SCSIDE%20Bridge&am…
I just bought a new VGA Flat panel with a native resolution of 1366x768 for use with my "pimped out" 1.7 GHz Gigabit G4 for Mac OS 9 use.
The right 6 pixel columns are not being d…

Gonna get together and trade a G4 (Sawtooth) for a pair of Quadra 840AVs. Not sure what the specs are, but I went ahead and ordered a video adapter off of We Love Macs to get read…
. . . not the B.S. Apple specs! Their width figure is fine, but if a cable or card needs to stick out the sides that spec is B.S. too! I want to know how high the top of the Lid…
So I've got my 450MHz AGP Sawtooth running.
However it is only recognizing 1GB of RAM.
According to LEM and everymac.com it will accept 2GB.
I have a 512MB and 3 256MB cards ins…

I recently acquired 2 IIcxs. Both completely dead. Plug them in, press the botton, and absolutely *nothing* happens. I will search, but if anybody has some quick pointers on where …
This one should have been relatively easy. I have to admit though, it took a few hours to make it work properly. I liberated this machine ages ago in a non-working state, but only …
Here's my dilemma. I have a Macintosh IIx logic board with leaky capacitors. Washed the goo off and got it working, but it failed again after only a week. I also have the origin…
Hello. I wanted to see what others thing of the mac clones. Any particular favorites? Mine is my PowerTower Pro. Its a hilarious fusion of mac and beige PC. Its pretty cool, with a…
I read Apple hinted that they intended to introduce an expansion card for adding an external 400K drive following the release of the Lisa 2, which only had one 400K drive. From wha…
After experiencing some weird occurrences (menu bar disappearing) on my Performa 6200, I decided to format and start fresh. I zeroed the drive, and attempted to install OS 7.5. I b…
While I was out running errands today, I stopped into a Goodwill store that I don't usually visit (it's all the way across town from my usual routine), but this visit paid off with…
First, the good news. I just got a new Apple IIe for free from a friend! It's got a printer, color monitor, and two disk drives.
Now, the bad. The power supply shorted out within …
This seems to work, the major drawback being that changes to the forum may break it.

Do the greyscale active matrix screens in the PowerBook 1xx series consume significantly more power than the passive matrix displays? I know that the early colour LCDs would quickl…
The idea was that I could write a program to run on my box that takes a mac disk image, and serves it to a real mac via the parallel port through the mac's floppy port. This would…
How many Disk drives can be attached to an Apple II? I know some later Apple IIc's could support up to 3 total (with two external daisy chained), and the Apple III could use up to …
