Oh yeah...I've wondered about the same thing myself. I remember back in the mid 1990's I used to use a program called "I Love Native!" to strip useless PowerPC code from FAT binari…

Once again danapplemacman has posted some excellent pictures at his eBay auction for Doug Clapp's book "Macintosh Complete!". There are some great pictures of a prototype Mac 128K …

Figured it out. Silly me, I had to call up the Controls Window in Apple Video Player. Then I could set the input source :I Click to expand... I was going to suggest that, but…

I've had the disk drive out, cleaned it, lubricated it, and it seems to know when there is a disk in the drive because it spits it out upon start up, unless that task is something …

An Apple III had built-in II Plus emulation and that was with 40 columns and only 48k RAM. Not having a language card, how do you load integer basic programs or run Pascal. So tech…

Figured it out. Silly me, I had to call up the Controls Window in Apple Video Player. Then I could set the input source :I Looks pretty awful though. At least a default res Wor…

I guess I'm used to forums that move a bit faster, I do apologize, I'm just very eager to get this setup working. I'm using it for live performances with my band and I'm by no mean…

No disk works in it at all, the drive doesn't even try to read it when I pop one in. I'm thinking that it is either fried or there is a weird problem relating to the logic board ne…

So if everything else on my machine is functioning as it should be, can I conclude that the floppy drive has indeed pooped the bed?

Well, I have 8MB and a 120MB HD, so I am not so restricted. I do like the machine. The screen is a thing of beauty (especially in a well lit area with the backlight off), and a fa…

Because there is no PowerPC code in Snow Leopard? (well, not much anyway...while there's still some Universal stuff, none of the core OS code is PPC anymore) Click to expand.…

Because there is no PowerPC code in Snow Leopard? (well, not much anyway...while there's still some Universal stuff, none of the core OS code is PPC anymore)

I noticed Leopard on there and this got me thinking... Why doesn't someone write up a script or something that will remove x86 code so as to have our own powerpc Snow Leopard?

Thanks beachycove and Byrd. The battery does not look to be leaking any fluids. In fact it looks like it just came out of factory shrink wrap. I'll try the battery revival remedies…

7) Use a floppy drive cleaning diskette/kit to clean the read/write heads of the drive. Although this can be done manually with rubbing alcohol on a cotton swab, it is safer to use…

Thanks for the advice. No disk works in it at all, the drive doesn't even try to read it when I pop one in. I'm thinking that it is either fried or there is a weird problem relati…

than you will on one like MacRumors. Click to expand... Ergh, MacRumors... they are all just self obsessed pricks there. I was on there for a while as Marsman478 but I rarely p…

Both my LCD screens accept PAL on S-Video or RCA.

I didn't see the Color Classic when I was there; maybe they brought it out after I cleared the shelf. I remember a couple years ago I saw a Color Classic set there for the bargain…

As a spur of the moment thing I decided to dig out my two old Amigas to see what state they were in after years of being left idle. Happily both seem in working order (but I had to…

AppleFritter was the first Mac community I joined. When they switched to the new (current) forums, the place lost a lot of its life. I still check in every now and again, and som…

Is this a normal reaction to a dead battery? Click to expand... Yes it seems to happen when the battery hasn't been used for some time on PB 1x0 machines, and usually a good wa…

I was there yesterday and two weeks ago (visited my bro)! Last time, I got a IIci but decided against the IIsi and the LCIII, glad they went to good homes. When I was there Yesterd…

I posted a few weeks ago in the Conquests forum, but I think this post belongs here. This is my latest eBay find, a PowerBook 180. It is in perfect condition but sold as Parts Only…
