place a small (real small) magnet about 1.5 cm down from the top and 1 cm from the left side. (If you have the broken screen laying around you can find this magnet on the other si…

Don't think there's any way to do that in software. You could open it and unplug it from the logic board...

I also have some dead iBook clamshell batteries. I have tried to figure out how to take them apart, but so far no luck. I peeled the stickers off each side and I can see the cell…

Seems okay to me too... a ][+ is getting to be relatively rare these days. I've seen crappy IIe's sell for more.

The pricing there is reasonable in my opinion. $50 total equates to about £25 and most Apple II gear goes for way more than that here.

All of Herb Johnson's stuff is overpriced. Click to expand... I kinda had that thought too, but it's really odd because he has this note on the Apple II's for sale page: Th…

Last I heard, Apple II prices are starting to get up there. But you're right, the missing keycap is a cosmetic problem at the very least and a functional problem at worst. (IIRC,…

All of Herb Johnson's stuff is overpriced.

Seems high to me. But then again, a quick scan of eBay confirms that astronomical prices for Apple II stuff seem to be the 'in' thing right now. I'd bet someone here would have one…

here's another one http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200277236814&ssPageName=MERCOSI_VI_ROSI_PR4_PCN_BIX

IT'S ALIVE!!! All I know is that I put the battery back in and pressed the power button and it booted up. I don't know what happened. I don't care. Yayz.

My PCI SCSI card is an Adaptec 7850 flavour card, model AVA 2906. A fairly common card so it could be possible that it is the same as yours. Drivers for OS X can be downloaded here…

The OP has reported what System Profile provides from DMI. pci = PCI device 9004 = Vendor ID for Adaptec 7850 = Model number I don't know whether Adaptec have multiple flavours…

There should be more info than that on the card itslef...

Cut the minimum number of straps midway needed to do a binary search. Cut where the spot welds allow you to have relatively long liftable stubs. Good cells should accept a brief t…

Thanks all I've two dead Lombard PRAM batteries here, so with luck I'll be able to make up one decent battery. Jaycar sell a couple of potential replacement batteries too; one…

I may install the router between them to see if that will work. Click to expand... Is the 7.5 box using Appleshare over IP, if not you are wasting your time. To resolve the IP…

Thanks again. I tried unique IP addresses for each machine to no avail. Footnote - I can network (via ethernet) my PPC7600 to my iMac and my iMac to my G3 but I can't seem to netw…

With prices the way they are, I would agree to get a G3 powerbook. Any pre-Pismo is going to be very affordable. Even the Pismos are not too bad. Edit: Actually I take back what…

Hear hear. I long had a cs before upgrading to the Lombard, and loved it. The screen is definitely a tad blurry though, so if you can find a c at a reasonable price, nab that. B…

OR trawl Battery World and Jaycar for a higher capacity, single 3V lithium cell, small enough to tuck away somewhere inside

Nope, its as simple as just going into TCP/IP and giving both machines a unique IP address. You only need a router if you're connecting the machines to the Internet. Its just a mat…

Assigning each a static address makes sense to me. Is that as simple as manually assigning the addresses in TCP/IP or do I need to connect a router in between them and do so throug…

Well, I'm happy to report that I'm posting this from my freshly-renovated Beige G3! I scrounged eBay and found a nice Rage128/16 card, a 500MHz G3/ZIF chip, and a set of overclock…
