I was going to ask if that coating was common to all the machines; I have memories of opening a 512k with my dad and seeing a more plastic-like interior. Ah, I didn't realize …

Here is the damage. The last two photos are a 'before' (flat) and an 'after' (on the drainboard) of the bezel. I did remove the Apple badge; it was fun to learn it's just a metal s…

Why does it have two batteries? Click to expand... http://home.earthlink.net/~gamba2/images/macIIfxsch.GIF Each battery is 3.6V. I'm not exactly sure from just glancing why t…

Are you saying it definitely is NOT in the IIci ROM? Click to expand... Yep, as far as I can tell, it is not in there. The one ting the IIci and fx have in common is tha…

I have been tempted many times to get and try out the following product, but I have no clue how it compares to the original http://www.allbatterysalesandservice.com/browse.cfm/4,4…

Thanks, JDW. I think a combination of the gel method mixed with some more patience & planning would have done the trick. Here is the damage. The last two photos are a 'be…

I had a fear of that happening myself; namely, that the metallic spray inside the case might be adversely affected by the H202 during deyellowing. But in my case, the reason I ult…

Yeah, I always keep my data and os on separate partitions. It is really useful for if a system screws up or you want to upgrade the os and would prefer to do a clean install.

Hello, long time lurker, first-time poster. :b&w: A week ago I found the threads related to de-yellowing the compacts (viewtopic.php?f=7&t=9381&start=0), …

I can date these "animation" frames back to the IIfx, but after the IIci. Click to expand... Are you saying it definitely is NOT in the IIci ROM? The one ting the IIci and fx …

Very interesting. It's not animated on the LC III/Performa 450 either as far as I can tell. But the LC III ROM also contains normal 32x32 images of the complete happy mac and sad…

Not on mine. It just starts with the completed face. Unless it's too fast for me to see that is. Tempest

Isn't that just how it is? (Like your animation) Click to expand... Are you saying that it is indeed animated like this on the actual Macintosh Classic machine? I just spotted…

Alright, I am tired of messing around with it today... I have three sticks of compatible RAM, which at various times have run in this box. None of them work. One of them allows it…

Recent problems with my MDD inspired me to get my first TiBook as a portable media machine, but I still need to get my tower working again. It is so flaky now I almost with I could…

It's towards the front center and the speaker is towards front right IIRC. So sort of. No it's a memory board like socket. No clue. I know that unless both are good it won't tu…

Is the ROM card by the speaker? If the ROM is soldered to the board, is it by the batteries? Why does it have two batteries? I am going by 'fuzzy' pictures, so it is hard to tel…

I can't tell from the picture. It could be. I think I saw in one of those articles that a SCSI card would be supported on the Daystar special bus. Click to expand... Looks l…

Here's what it would look like animated:
