You should be able to petition it into 2gb partitions. If that's not going to work a smaller card should, although you may need a third party formatting software either way.

I've been talking to the company that sold me the adapter.  They suggested I try a smaller memory card.  Is 16gb too much for OS 9?  If there's a maximum I would imagine it's way m…

i think those round looking motorola power transistors burn out in that psu… look up that model number on it and see if they are still available. those same things go bad with ham…

I have a Lisa that has yet to start up, but I have a little time to work on it now.  I got a power supply with the Lisa that was assumed non-working (since I don't know whether or …

I wasn't too clear, but I was sort of inferring the same thing.  I think the compliance issue goes beyond Cardbus, though - since it hasn't worked properly on either the 3400 or Ka…

The Classic does!

I discovered I can hit control+reset on the IIgs and get a BASIC prompt. Who needs startup disks?! Wow, I wish the Mac had as much useful stuff built into ROM.

I wouldn't assume your widget is broken, until you've connected it to an actual Lisa. Maybe the brake isn't supposed to deactivate until it sees a certain signal from the computer,…

My borrowed widget drive also makes loud click-clack sounds when powered on and off. I assume that's normal? The guy who I borrowed the Lisa from said initially the drive didn't s…

I like to add to the current state that after a time the green light op top will burn continually. If you then switch of power you will hear a hard click. 

As promised  pictures of the Widget drive:

Great, now I've got that song in my head.

That's a pretty interesting video! Definitely shows some of the history of Apple in a simple way.

ask all the questions you want,  iT will just help the indexing of 68kmla in google searches and might get you to a 68000 after not too long

Ah, so it *is* supposed to be color, but not seeing the color on a composite video output is normal? I guess I can live with that. I didn't have any success with the 2001FP's VGA i…

What you are seeing is normal from the composite output. The VGC kills the color signal in text modes (only!) on the composite output in an attempt to make the text less blurry.

Can anyone with a IIgs describe what the self-test display is supposed to look like, in terms of color? When I hold open-apple + option at startup, it puts the IIgs into a self-tes…

I see it, and probably should have looked at it before starting a thread... Thanks for the help!

I bought a Canadian (I think) clone of the Newertech module. It works fine. Unless you are using the emate intensively, the standard spec is pretty good. You have to write an awful…

The 2001FP can likely work with the RGB output too going by the reports of Amiga users. Use a Mac to VGA adapter in "multisync mode" (the sense pins aren't used by the IIgs). Somet…

yup you are on the right track there.!

Have a look at the post concerning wireless with a Lombard

It works on the composite video input of my living room TV, a large Samsung HDTV. But using the IIgs in the living room on a 50" screen wasn't what I had in mind. As luck would…
