Mods - if you consider this post misplaced in the Conquests forum, my apologies, and feel free to move it to the Lounge or Compacts. I've finally sourced an inexpensive LCD for co…

I recently acquired 2 IIcxs. Both completely dead. Plug them in, press the botton, and absolutely *nothing* happens. I will search, but if anybody has some quick pointers on where …

This one should have been relatively easy. I have to admit though, it took a few hours to make it work properly. I liberated this machine ages ago in a non-working state, but only …

Here's my dilemma. I have a Macintosh IIx logic board with leaky capacitors. Washed the goo off and got it working, but it failed again after only a week. I also have the origin…

Hello. I wanted to see what others thing of the mac clones. Any particular favorites? Mine is my PowerTower Pro. Its a hilarious fusion of mac and beige PC. Its pretty cool, with a…

I read Apple hinted that they intended to introduce an expansion card for adding an external 400K drive following the release of the Lisa 2, which only had one 400K drive. From wha…

After experiencing some weird occurrences (menu bar disappearing) on my Performa 6200, I decided to format and start fresh. I zeroed the drive, and attempted to install OS 7.5. I b…

While I was out running errands today, I stopped into a Goodwill store that I don't usually visit (it's all the way across town from my usual routine), but this visit paid off with…

First, the good news. I just got a new Apple IIe for free from a friend! It's got a printer, color monitor, and two disk drives. Now, the bad. The power supply shorted out within …

This seems to work, the major drawback being that changes to the forum may break it. Code: http://68kmla.org/forums/search.php?fid[]=1&fid[]=3&fid[]=4&a…

Do the greyscale active matrix screens in the PowerBook 1xx series consume significantly more power than the passive matrix displays? I know that the early colour LCDs would quickl…

The idea was that I could write a program to run on my box that takes a mac disk image, and serves it to a real mac via the parallel port through the mac's floppy port. This would…

How many Disk drives can be attached to an Apple II? I know some later Apple IIc's could support up to 3 total (with two external daisy chained), and the Apple III could use up to …

This AppleVision 1710AV display was intercepted at the local recycler for $10, and it's a real survivor. It has minimal discoloration, a near perfect screen, and it even had the o…

Could a Quadra 700 hard disk caddy be used in a Macintosh IIcx? I have my eyes set on a Macintosh IIcx on eBay which is missing the hard drive and the caddy, and I have a Quadra 70…

So I've got this Quicksilver that I've had for quite sometime now, but unfortunately, its spent more time occupying my closet floor than being used. What is this thing good to use …

I managed to find a PowerBook Video adapter on ebay for a very affordable $3 ($9 with shipping). The item came in its original 1992 Apple packaging and worked out of the box with m…

I've got the following card for my 475: { "lightbox_close": "Close", "lightbox_next": "Next", "lightbox_previous": "Previous", "lightbox_error": "The requested…

Competition starts in two days. Sign up... Focus... Flounder.

Hi, I've never had/or been given a slot-loading iMac before, so i was rather pleased to receive two today - and my favourite colour, the dark blue models! One has a perfect CRT b…

I spotted a Apple property tag on this Macintosh SE SuperDrive. Link (last photo in the auction) Would this necessarily mean that it was a late stage testing prototype perhaps? T…

Today I decided to get out the Mac Classic II I got for my 15th birthday and restore it. Aside from the original CRT I was able to round up all of my original components, which wer…

I received an LC475 running 7.1P and the system software was using 32Mb out of 36Mb. I did a clean install of 7.5.3 and it's just as bad. Surely it should be using less? I check…

Saw this on eBay only too late to bid. One of the few hard drives which will work on a Mac 128K. Amazing condition.

Well, having beaten up freudling's The Elusive PowerBook 550c topic more than I had planned to, (apologies there) I just bit the bullet and purchased a tested known-working M1893 A…
