Got to be careful with MDDs, they run extremely hot. But they are excellent machines, well worth fixing to keep in service. Running at less than 1.25GHz helps a lot. My 1.42 dual w…

I contacted yourmacstore and they were able to dig up a last kit for me, doesn't sound like they have more. Contacting Spirica might be the only way now.

So I recently got my Classic II out of storage and it has the checkerboard screen disease. I also rescued a Classic this weekend that seems to have video board trouble. I may not e…

Over the weekend I managed to get my LC520 back in working condition. Boots from HD just fine, but looks like I need to boot from a floppy and run Disk Tools. It thinks the HD is m…

Rest In Peace and thank you.

wow 900 bucks for an xt 8-o

A lot of us put less value on IIes today because of how cheap they were not too long ago.... Click to expand... +1 on that, as it applies to just about any "retrocomputer". Up …

A lot of us put less value on IIes today because of how cheap they were not too long ago. I got three of them for nothing from a schoolteacher nine years back (who had wanted to gi…

all depends, its a nice machine with monitor, a good chunk of that money is shipping, and how much you want it

Make sure that you get a lot of use out of the IIe. $200 is an outrageous price for one.

thought the IIc had a color killer like the other Apple IIs, in which case it doesn't put out color burst in text mode, only in graphics. The first 100 or so Apple IIs lacked the c…

Did you say it only happens in Camino? If so, trash and reinstall Camino. There is a chance the system has been corrupted, too. Repair permissions, scan the disk for errors and the…

Guess I ought to hang a scope on one of my Apples to see how it compares to your IIc. Filtering out color burst isn't going to do anything to boost the bandwidth of your TV set. A …

If the power supply is not putting out the correct voltages, disk drives won't work, and the motherboard will be unreliable. Check the 12V and 5V supplies with a voltmeter. There i…

First of all I own the games I make backups, I buy games and do not open them, In canada it is legal if you own the game. Second of all the Usb card is just for my usb stick, The …

Ignoring your blatant piracy reference what does adding a usb 2.0 card have to do with the dvd burner? is it a usb model drive? can you still plug it into the old port and what hap…

I don't think anyone here is going to help you burn Gamecube ISOs to DVD since what are you doing is most likely rather illegal and I doubt they want Teh Party Van showing up on th…

Hey guys, A while back I got a dvd burner for my pm g4 400 MH, I was running 10.4.7 and I could burn disks, but know I upgraded for my usb 2.0 card to work it wont burn, it says th…

well kind of I just let word load and then when its done closed the lid till i need the computer

well, I've searched for temp monitoring freeware, and I couldn't find anything compatible with this old of an OS. also, the bar at the bottom has always been propped up, and I keep…

That's an interesting kludge.

Sounds like heat to me. iMac slottie - passively cooled and notorious for heat issues. Effect is at the top of the screen (thus, top of the case) and coincides with a system free…

OK, now the weirdness is weirder. 2x MacPluses, -Plus No. 1 when you power up trips the earth leakage safety switches in my house after about 30 seconds so I won't power it up. -…

Because of that I had to try out ADTPro's bootstrapping via cassette port, a slow but not terribly traumatizing scene. Only the thing is I did that even though, the fact had slippe…

Maybe the system is just corrupt. I had a 10.4 install that gave out disk errors and took an hour to load with lots of spinning balls on a g4 mac mini. A reinstall fixed the prob…
