Is it true that I have to clip two resistors to use the 1 MB sticks? https://lowendmac.com/2016/memory-upgrades-mac-plus/ I might just wait until I have a reason to open it up, so far it's working great still! Also, I'm having some trouble hunting down a working version of Pyro. I found a few...

Will HyperCard still work well on a 1 MB machine? I was able to confirm that my unit has its original 1 MB of RAM haha Also is Think Pascal better than the Mac Pascal that I have currently? Same question with Chipmunk Basic vs MS Basic? Ahh cool! Period accurate is best :cool:

Oh that looks cool! I’ve heard about After Dark but I think I’ll go with this one!

So far I have Mac Paint 1.5, Rogue, Word 5.1a, MacWrite 1.0, Excel 1.0, MS BASIC 1.0, and Pascal 7.3e I'm excited about learning Pascal with this machine! I don't see a way to really "export" a Pascal project as an executable but I'm sure I can find details about that. Personally I'm pretty...

Ah yes I had heard about that! Something about the RJ45 connector having a different wiring than a normal phone jack. Thankfully the keyboard I ordered came with the original cable too :) Also, I looked up the serial number: F7472PQM0001A "Your Macintosh Plus was the 3118th manufactured during...

Here's the link for the tantalum kit! https://console5.com/store/macintosh-plus-axial-solid-tantalum-main-pcb-cap-kit.html I'm actually relieved by that! I purchased them as a precautionary measure, so it's good to know that the Mac Plus was made during a time of more reliable components haha...

Hello everyone, I've recently become the proud owner of a great condition Macintosh Plus (boots to screen waiting for disk) and I ordered some parts and peripherals for it after scouring various forums and YouTube videos: Recap kit from Console5 Solid Tantalum cap kit from Console5 ZuluSCSI...
