Inexpensive cost but they are trying to charge me $56.80 to ship to Canada... Click to expand... Just one of many reasons not to use ebay.

A floppy port is expecting to talk to spinning media with sectors and tracks and critical signalling and timing. It's expecting to receive a waveform taken directly from the read …

Try looking up information on the Apple II disk controller, then find out what the differences between that and a Mac are. If I recall correctly, they are quite similar.

How many Disk drives can be attached to an Apple II? Click to expand... If it has slots, and you fill slots 1 - 7 with Disk ][ controllers, and each controller with two drives…

Great score, the AppleVision 1710AV is a fine display, I've had one for about 6 years, and its probably my favourite CRT, though mine only works properly at high resolutions (1024x…

It's not a dumb question, because an answer requires a basic understanding of how drives are setup on the Apple II. (I'm going to ignore the Apple III, because I know nothing abou…

The IIci and IIcx do use the same kind of mount, 700 should also since it is in a IIcx type of case.

Alright, thanks. I really want to secure the hard drive so I can run the Macintosh IIcx sideways without worries.

Probably so. They're not needed, in any case, unless you just like having the hard drive secured.

My 2400c had something similar with its backlight after I restored it. I assume that it had not run for several years before I did the surgery needed.   I found that regular use s…

My Retrochallenge blog will be at: http://conceitedjerk.tripod.com/retro09.html Nothing's there yet, will have something up (likely) tomorrow! :b&w:

Well, today the 550c started up just fine as it did yesterday. Unfortunately, the random fade out (and restore) of the screen backlight is still with it. No rhyme or reason to it. …

I use my quicksilver with EyeTv as a PVR. Occasionally I import a tv show into iMovie and burn it to a DVD for someone. Wayne

I will try OS 7.5.5, but it seems 3rd party board, so I don't believe in success. What hardware probers can you recommend? I have no idea about them. As for my local people - at …

You could use it as extra processing for re encoding videos and such. Or as a remote iTunes player. Or extra processing for someone else. Check out Folding@Home.

Success! This thing is sitting here with a clean install of OS 7.5 just purring away! Lost the RAMDoubler app in the process, might have that somewhere amidst my vintage sof…

With my neck in a brace from the whiplash I got when I opened the mailbox earlier this afternoon to discover the replacement AC adapter I'd bought on eBay on Saturday had arrived(!…

As the others have stated Alkaline, NiMH and Nicad batteries are mostly harmless, unless your handling large amounts of juice over long periods of time, scrub down good with hot wa…

cool, I went to my dad's house and got his "the applesoft tutorial", which has been sitting in the same drawer since his apple //e was brand new except for a tiny wrinkle on the d…

Oh yes, I am ready to get started. I have been studying the "Programming the 6502" book which I obtained just for this project. I now know the equivalent of Applesoft's PEEK, POKE…

yea i saw that after i posted and the cheesefactory 404's cause i havent put anything there (yet) thanks

The PRAM battery is a NiCd, so no need to worry about lithium. However, cadmium is none too good for humans (and nickel isn't benign, either). Casual exposure is unlikely to be a p…

The board is very small for the early/mid 1990s. There is no socket for an optional FPU. So it may have been designed for one of the NuBus LC family, and thus may work with OS ship…
