The first one is a II+ board. The bottom one has the characteristics of a II board, but some went into II+es so without seeing more details I don't think anybody can say that it de…

Hi guys I was hoping someone could help ID a few motherboards, these are two separate boards I am looking at and I want to make sure they are Apple II and not Apple II+ motherboar…

I honestly believe that running old macs with bad caps can lead to permanent damage. I could very well be wrong, but why take the risk?

Or just throw it out the window...

Likely the firmware and OS X doesn't support the GPU. Just give up on upgrades. Nothing will be supported, it'll reduce the value of being original, and these weren't meant to be …

The machine could have one of those gimped PCIe slots that only take SVDO ADD2 cards. Otherwise being BIOS based it should take standard PC video cards.

Are you trying PC graphics cards or Mac?

yah sometimes the sad mac codes can send you on a wild goose chase.  is best to just replace it all.

I have been testing all my favourite games on the Plus to make sure they work, however I am having issues with Pax Imperia.  I can start it and choose the star system but can't get…

A SCSI to Ethernet from Asante will work also it's external.

Here's one new in the box but it's pretty expensive: http://www.ebay.com/itm/NOS-NEW-DAYNA-DAYNAPORT-E-SE-T-MACINTOSH-SE-10BASE-T-ETHERNET-NETWORK-PRODUCTS-/111540094192?pt=LH_Def…

So I picked up an Macintosh SE FDHD to get software moved between my pc and both my Macintosh SE's. After replaceing some ram that died after 5 minutes of running its doing all nic…

It was for both of them However it was aimed as a "if replacing all the ram fails" solution yes there are 2, iirc they are the two chips immediately to the right of the CPU (as…

There are 3 main revisions of the Lisa Hardware, the original with the twiggy drives (Lisa 1), the updated version with one Sony drive (Lisa 2) that is otherwise the same as a Lisa…

I wouldn't attempt any upgrades to it besides possibly a SCSI card and maxing the ram out. It would however be nice if you could dump the BIOS and store it somewhere for safekeepi…

I need to find photos, if I have any, of my sold Mac XL. I am starting to think it had that spare cable too now. But its been so long.

The sticker on the case says A6S0300P  Thats why I call it a Macintosh XL. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compact_Macintosh I find it complicated these names.....

The 220V-240V, 50Hz, .7A PS would be correct for Lisa's in Europe, it's nothing special.  Later Lisa 2/10 (XL) units with the widget drive used a 1.8A PS that was internally 120V-6…
