Don't give up with old batteries. The Portable uses a lead acid battery, which can be exercised, possibly to rejuvenation. Boaters know people who have battery exercisers which can…

Before all of that is the Apple Answer Book QA. It has a beige cover, blue text with white knock outs. Content is Apple II and III. It's a three punch hole publication. The Apple A…

I think there's also a device you can buy just for doing low-level formats without the need of a ProFile card and special ROM.  I seem to recall seeing one on eBay.

Yeah, I'm thinking I'll use it for storage of one of my Pluses. I have another stored in the original box.

Yes - that case is cool!

The 190/5300 are notorious for having the power connector lose connection with the motherboard. Give that a check as well next time you open it up.  Click to expand... I agree wi…

I agree with Benson, I'd love to have a case like that for permanent mac storage.

Duo + 3400 IMO for reasons already discussed.  The two Nubus slots in the Dock would even let you use the Duo as a substitute desktop machine if space gets even tighter.

dat flightcase :O

Is this the chip which allows to low format a Profile ?

Could you explain a little bit where this is for?

No longer have to bum the chip off snuci. { "lightbox_close": "Close", "lightbox_next": "Next", "lightbox_previous": "Previous", "lightbox_error": "The requ…

So, having also bought a new set of 7" long torx bits and a long T-handle after my normal rather too short bit and driver walked away, I decided to take apart my rather nice Classi…

Was conquered at some stage or another so why the hell not?

Eh, it counts.

So  I went to the tip finally to dump my old stripped and unwanted iMac and eMac carcasses and at the bottom of one of the e-waste bins, I happened to find none other than an Apple…

Is it a conquest if you uncover something in your own storage space? I have a workshop in my garage that's been home to my Apple/Mac accumulation for over 10 years. I'm moving lat…

A drill press (or mill) and a 1/32 end mill below the parting line. Replace the battery, then I use beige caulk so if I ever need to get into it again then it's just a razor blade.…

I dont run a pram battery in my 475, I just use the double flip of the power switch method which bypasses that issue.

As james_w in the uk i'll add that I used this battery for mine : http://www.componentshop.co.uk/6v-4-5ah-sealed-lead-acid-battery.html(they also carry a 5ah battery of the same si…

Thanks, I did not know.

oh and what Doug said too... those TDK LC power supplies are known for not working,  they need all the filter caps changed. but in my experience if the psu is no good, the computer…

yeah cap that 650 too.  it needs is. for sure.  the only machines that ( need ) a pram battery is the quadra/LC 475/605 and the Powermac 6100. you will get no video.       Well the…
