To add insult to injury, the damage to the ribbon caused a short which took out the Combo drive! I always make triple-sure now to put the short hex screw in the middle. :'( Cl…

Fortunately we have a recycling depot that doesn't lock the gate at night, so there are pickings to be had – you just have to be ready to run if the cops drive by. Click to expa…

Welcome aboard! I'm sure you will find these forums useful for anything and everything pertaining to 68K Macs. There is a reason your LCIII runs at 33MHz. There was a later revisio…

Wahahahhaha. :rambo:

Nah, before my sister was born, he took all kinds of computing jobs all over the world. We were not the richest people back then, but we sure had a heck of a great time traveling. …

To remove the keyboard you have to loosen this little clip that holds the flat ribbon cable from the keyboard in. It's a hard-to-describe procedure but it's really easy. The sock…
