That's one nice pice-o-Sparcs!

I got 10 years from a Mac G3 battery that died just a few months ago. It was the original battery which held the manufacture date of 1998.

As of August 2007, My Mac II's original soldered on batteries were still holding 3.6v. I haven't checked it recently, though.

I read 10 years on the battery manufacturers site, but I'm guessing it's closer to 5-6 from what I've seen on my other computers. Tempest

I can confirm with all my certainty that those answers are either surely correct or incorrect.

It transpires that the IIx, the Portable and the 660av are going to be held back. Ho hum. I will be selling some things on, as I don't have room for it all. Click to expand... …

Agreed today to buy this lot from a friend for $60 (text of the advert follows): I don't have room for it all, so I suspect that duplicates and such will need to be sold on. Stil…

I have to send my tax forms in. I'm going to have a nice refund coming for some conquests. There's quite a few things that have been on my list for a while like a type 4 keyboard a…

Those are two wildly disparate answers... Can anyone else confirm either of the above posts is correct?

5 - 10 years.

But there's no need to just worry over it. Just put System 6 and 7 on your machine and switch between them as needed! That's what I do via System Picker. It's easy and convenien…

The ARS-2000SUP has different firmware than the ARS-2000SU. I had a problem where my ARS-2000SU units would not auto boot on m68k Macs or on Amigas when they had the ARS-2000SUP fi…

There were "mainstream and popular games" for System 6 as well as System 7. You will be surprised at what still runs under System 6. For example, Deneba Canvas 3.5 runs wonderful…

Oh and is there any reason to go with System 7 over 6.0.8? I don't know how the compatibility is with games. I know some games need System 7 and I assume some won't work with any…

Hm. I spoke too soon. I can't seem to get the SSD to auto mount or to be the boot disk. Any thoughts? Partitioning worked fine with Apple SC HD Setup (patched), and I could cop…

Bumping my old topic. I may pull out my SE/30 to replace my Classic now. I've noticed that some games play alright on the Classic, but they're slooow. For example, I was play…

And we should note, for those who might try to use this information, that A0 and A1 are not connected to the address pins on the ROM chips on the module. A2 of the ROM SIMM conne…

If you are just storing the machine, remove the battery. Batteries in machines that are used a decent amount (are plugged into main power) should last 4+ years.

First off, Correction: Lido 7.5.6, not 7.6.5. Darned math dyslexia... :I Second, Unfortunately, I haven't found anyone online that actually links a disk image floppy with the…

How would I figure out where a possible short is? Running a wire directly to the disk might solve the problem, but that's still a hack and not a fix (remember the HD wasn't spinn…
