I purchased 8x 2MB RAM chips for my Mac IIx from WeLoveMacs and no matter what combination I try, I can't get any of the chips to register. Essentially, any com…
Hi First of all, I have no idea if that's even possible. I'm really rubbish at coding even in C or C++, so what chances do I have with hacking a Control Panel? …

Hey guys For my birthday, my father bought me a Acer V3-112P, in the months that I've had it. I just haven't been able to get along with it, the keyboard is rea…
I opened up the box to discover a complete lack of packaging material. The unit itself has a huge crack in the CD-ROM drive door, and the subwoofer has a large …
Been trying to inventory old disk and hardware utilities. Anyone remember Tim Seufert's dctest (the dc was something like "data corruption")? The idea was to te…
Hey guys -- The Apple IIc I got today has a loose floppy drive door. In other words, it doesn't lock in either the open or closed position. I haven't received m…
I have an M0110 with intermittent keys. Some of the keys don't work, a handful work just fine. Some I can press hard and they'll register, others I have to pres…

I recently bought a Mac SE/30 which would boot from the Floppy and briefly from the SCSI drive after cleaning. But during a fresh install of System 7 the SCSI d…
I finally got my hack to work. This will also work with a 128K. I have some sort of SCSI upgrade I found in that huge lot I helped acquire. It sits on the ROM s…

Has anyone got a manual for the Outbound 125, that either they would be willing to send me, or copy, whether via scanning, or just phone camera photos of each p…
I have a G4 A1138 that works except for the backlight (shining a flashlight shows the apple logo on the screen and text from a bad boot crash). I just replaced …
My Macintosh 512k has a funny floppy drive. As soon as you turn it on the floppy motor (im assuming) keeps spinning so you hear a noise as soon as you turn it o…
I decided to try putting more memory into my Mac II (currently at 8MB). I purchasd 4 4MB PAL SIMMs from MemoryTen and dropped them into Bank B. The first time I…

I won this one at my local surplus auction. I discovered this gem amongst a bunch of 1,1 Mac Pros and G5s. I think whatever company that surplussed it accidenta…
All, I have the somewhat famous/somewhat obscure issue with the blank page(s) printing from the cassette. One page will print, the page will be blank, and no fu…
Much like LazarusNine, I had my own disaster. Two issues: 1. Had my iron set for 650F and was using some solder tweezers (Hakko FX-8804-02) thinking it would be…
I'm hoping for some SE/30 expertise. I installed a 32-bit, third-party ROM into my SE/30. The system powered on and I heard the chime, but it was very staticky.…
