I think I played that one almost a decade ago. } It was a nice port from what I recall.

What's great about the Apple II? Everything. Especially if you've got a huge software, hardware, and manual collection (sorry to brag!) at your disposal. Unlike the modern Mac, or…

And btw, another question: I see what looks like a SCSI card inside the IIgs. Assuming it's true, could I boot from a SCSI drive? Like could I format one of my old drives in ProDOS…

If you don't have a use for it, personally, I'd put it on eBay. I could be mistaken, but they go for hundreds of dollars on there. Anyone willing to drop several hundred dollars …

I found a new 5.25" head cleaning diskette at a thrift last year. Mostly it is the 3.5" drives that end up needing cleaning. A large q-tip with 99.99% alcohol would do the job.

Ok, so it seems my best bet is to try and clean the drives, right? Is there any easy way to do this? I already tried to take them apart, but having the plastic case off don't make …

What's the best way to clean a drive otherwise? Click to expand... Blow compressed air into it.

Take lots of pictures so we can all ooh and aah at its pristine attic ripened beauty

Something to try from Apple: http://support.apple.com/kb/TA22360?viewlocale=en_US Click to expand... Wow! I'd never seen that screen saver before! The box must have been locking …

Thanks a .bundle. I'll try that one.

I wonder if it is related to the .kext files. When my Beige G3 was working I had a similar issue. Something to try from Apple: http://support.apple.com/kb/TA22360?viewlocale=en_…

wow! the Powerbook 500 was really built well. Click to expand... But I always had a problem with the batteries sliding out. Had to use a giant rubberband to keep them in! C…

The keyboard. Try your spacebar.

I've had the same problem with a beige G3 tower running X.2, and with a ATI Rage 128 pci card installed. It seems to wake sometimes, and not others. Click to expand... What are…

Video card? Click to expand... No, it's using the built in old style Apple video connector.

Video card?

I heard about the exploding batteries but nothing about case quality or anything like that. Mind you I was wondering a little while ago why you never see any 5300s anywhere. Cli…

Now THERE'S a project for RetroChallenge! Lisa Office System is pretty capable (it even has spell check built in, a rarity for 1983 software) and integrates better than Office, iW…

My first thought would be to turn it into a web server or run a BBS off it... but I'm sometimes a bit of a masochist ;-)

Do you have a disk drive head cleaner? Click to expand... Do you mean those "fake floppies" with a cleaning brush on the disk? I don't, but I've seen some a while ago. What's t…

Make sure the 3.5" drives are first and the 5.25" drives are connected after them.

Another possibility: since you say you can get into the Control Panel go to the Control Panel and select Slots, look at the Startup Slot setting and make sure it either says Scan o…

Then I just tried to stick one of the old floppies in a Mac. And I amazingly saw it mount just fine on the Mac's desktop, with a ProDOS icon and all its files. So it seems that my…
