The man's got some taste

Nope not a special version, you just need the correct system enabler installed, which for a 520 is System Enabler 403. You need to make a boot floppy with a blessed system folder c…

I'll be back. I just have to... go and do... a thing. Over here. yes...

Awesome man , Did you get MLCC's on there or stock Panasonic electrolytics? I forgot. I'm sure blob would be happy! I think he just turned 71

Alright. I'm going to order up a set then, it should really help when this thing decides to give me trouble in the future.

I recently got a Macintosh LC 520.  It has System 7.1 installed but it contains a whole bunch of old garbage & extensions so I wanted to do a fresh install.  However when I…

When I was doing it I found a tutorial online on how to do it and where to apply the lube.  I can't remember the address but if you google it you may be able to find it.

There is no ROM SIMM for the TAM, never was unless proto. Good theory on the ROM with startup chime. I can not say, but falen5 I think has the skills to swap ROM chips if needed.

Well, I tore open the external floppy disk tonight and got the mechanism unstuck by using small dabs of WD-40.  I have to hold the eject button open to insert/eject disks, but at l…

Yes I fixed mine with lube, just don't over do it

just got my boards back, yup the Classic II is the 4 Rom version.

Hello, I'm new to the forum and Macintosh. I recently bought a non working SE/30 on eBay that came with a nice surprise in the form of a (hopefully working) network card. -Turned…

Howdy from Texas.  [] ]'>   I was given a Macintosh 128K & Apple ImageWriter I by one of my clients a few years ago and just got around to booting it up.  Unfortuna…

I was having the same problem as you... see my thread below.  I had to wash the board 5 different times to get it to work.  I also discovered pin 50 bent, touching pin 49 on the c…

look at those million psychedelic colors. lol. And the new P6 chip. 

posting their Mac TVs I figured I would post mine too. I have been waiting to have a more complete setup and yes that is design keyboard from Europe and not proper keyboard but it'…

It WILL work without that ROM SIMM for sure.

Also, just as a minor point on the chemistry, if vinegar neutralizes it, then its an alkaline substances eating the board, not an acid, you can't neutralize an acid with an acid (a…

Don't understand why it would work without the rom!!! Does it have another onboard? - off to bed for me - sure I had to film the teardown - good luck people -

Focus on that rom slot and it might work, you might not even need that rom since the 6500 doesn't but I'm not sure...

gave it a good wash - vinegar/water 50/50, then the usual water and washing up liquid it looks allot better - there is still some green , but allot of the via's that were all gr…

I looked and from what I can see the 6500 board would only need slight modifications, The scsi port is removed and the audio ports are removed and replaced with the small board on …
