    800k Floppy Drive Reads 400k But Not 800k

    So I have an 800k floppy drive from an SE that has been cleaned and lubed. From my experience, 400k disks work fine but 800k disks do not work about 70% of the time. When the disk is inserted I get the error that the disk is "damaged". So this leads me to believe that whatever triggers the drive...

    IIsi Randomly Dying

    Okay so the power supply was working before I recapped it. Then I recapped it and it was working again until it wasn't. Sometimes it wouldn't boot up. Pressing the power button would do nothing.

    Radius Pivot Color Adjustment

    I just got a Radius Pivot Precision Color 0356 and the picture is very pink. Is there anyway to adjust the color? I can't seem to find any sort of menu. I don't have the card so I do not know if that is required.

    800k Drive Not Ejecting

    I have an external 800k floppy drive that was not ejecting. It was not a problem with the gears, rather the motor was not running at all. So I figured it was a bad motor. To test this I took a good motor (the identical Omron R2DG-31) and put it in and the motor was still not turning. Anyone know...

    CRT Questions

    I've got a Macintosh Plus with some cracked solder joints on J4 on the analog board. I repaired two and tested it but that wasn't enough. When I opened it back up I realized there were a few others I didn't get. Per this website https://www.jagshouse.com/ classicrepair.html my fly back doesn't...

    Excel on 512k

    I have been trying to launch excel on my 512k but repeatedly get error ID=03. Anyone know a solution? I'm using the 1.03 image on the Garden. I wrote it using a Molar Mac and I've written other programs that work so I do not think that is the problem but I don't know. Edit: The Mac has an 800k...
