Yep, you're correct. The max number of drives you can get on a Mac is three. Two internal (SE only?) and one external. Tempest Click to expand... The SE, the LC, the full-s…

And the plastics of the machines are mostly excellent - even on the SE. Am I excited? You can tell I'm excited, can't you?

One full Dodge Grand Caravan load and one further half load later, I am well and truly stocked up on old Mac goodies - i.e., my Garage is a great deal more full of crap than it wa…

Glad to hear! That drove me crazy for weeks. By the time I thought I knew for certain what it was, the 30 day Windows eXtra Poop activation grace period was up, so I had to reinsta…

It worked! I can boot system 7.5 off of the ssd now. Fantastic. It's a bit pain having to have about 800000 partitions though.

Interesting point about the nature of the HD, it is a non-original HD, it's a 500 MB drive. I originally thought it was an 80 MB when I got it but then I realized it had two hidden…

This is due to the HD giving off magnetic waves which piss off the CRT. Get an ESD cover for the HD or put an original HD in. Click to expand... This is NOT the problem. The CL…

Axiotronic is not certified by Apple AFAIK.

Yeah, that's what I had gathered from Lowendmac and such. I suppose I'll be on the lookout for one then - I've been wanting a desktop Power Mac besides the fact.

I don't think the DOS card would work in a 6400 since it has to connect to either the PDS slot of the 8100 or a NUBUS slot, neither of which the 6400 has. The closest you might ge…

Even though you cleaned up the board and got it to boot, the capacitors on the motherboard are still bad and need to be replaced. Any electrical fluctuations will first show up in …

Looking at your pic, it seems clear that the vent holes are not at the highest part of the case, when the Mac is mounted at that angle. Would propping it forward such that the ven…

you'd need to hack the 1400 somehow so it wouldn't try to charge them Click to expand... Click to expand... Wouldn't a few diodes do?

Sounds like quite the demo indeed! Keep your eye open for swap meets, Craigslist, and second-hand shops. I just bought a //e with disk drives for $20 from Goodwill. Click…

I will give you my advise from my experience. My first Mac was a 128k purchased in January 1984. I upgraded and continued using that box until I purchased a Mac IIvx in 1993. I …

It could be a bad ADB connector. I had these on both sides of the IIgs keyboard I used with my SE/30. I resoldered the pads but still had problems. I then replaced the cable but…

I'm quite glad I listened to my inner voice that said not to use the magic eraser on the Mac. I never realized they were such a powerful tool. The spongelike appearance is deceptiv…

Mine seemed awful hot too, so I added a fan at the top of the case blowing air out the handle holes. The fan doesn't fit flush, so the sides of the fan are sealed to the case with …

A bit of a switch, using the MIDI card as a serial interface. It was common to use a Super Serial card or a //c serial port as a MIDI interface by doing timing in software. I remem…

PCI. It's the last desktop machine released before the G3s.

I don't believe you can daisy chain floppy drives on the Mac. Like the eject button, the daisy chain port was included for the Apple II line. At one point Apple wanted a universal …

I really want one of these. The best place to look is probably ebay Germany and hope the seller understands English and is willing to ship it to you. Most of the less well known cl…
