You are looking for System 7-OS 9 Key Caps in the Apple Menu, or in OS X go to the System Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard, and select the option "Show keyboard and emoji viewers in menu bar." This will make a new menu item, which when clicked has an option "Show Keyboard Viewer." Same...

I have my Rev. A iMac that still has it's Griffin iPort installed.

Is that how they do it at the factory? Again, I am amazed at how you know all of this...

re: what Cory said: The images I sent to vTools were all in "System-context" formats, as I would call them, meaning that stuff that would be used on System 6 and up through 9 is either in Stuffit 1.5.1 format (for compatibility up and down), or Disk Copy 4.2 format. This way, if you have later...

I’ll admit, I’ve never seen or dealt with CPTs. What program makes them?

How about all the heat sinks, thermal grease, and rubber between them?

Wouldn’t that just be the best prank? Have someone try to diagnose a non-working AppleTalk network that you hooked the non-AppleTalk ImageWriter to!

Yes, that was what I read that the DIP switches had to be set to something different. That was why I was hoping to score some documentation, even electronically. Of course, expert help would be just as good.

Through the gracious beneficence of a forum member, I will soon be in possession of an ImageWriter II AappleTalk Card. What I need now is the installation disk images, and I was hoping for a PDF or other form of documentation to tell me how to set it up properly. Does anyone have either of these...

I found the issue: one of the tiny display wires was almost microscopically pierced by the screw that holds the front screen plastic bezel to the frame. If I hadn’t seen the screw piercing the friction tape, I wouldn’t even have known to look there. It was the pink wire, if anyone knows what...

Mine has some SM electrolytic.

If it means enough to you, anything is worth fixing, in my opinion. The HD itself may be bad. One way to salvage the actual case is by putting a SCSI2SD inside instead of the HD.

Well perhaps it was because of a difference: There was no "bridge": my controller PCI card is just a straight ATA card, so it was CF - adapter-controller.

Thanks, hopefully this can be of some help to others in similar frustrating situations!

That’s pretty cool: any chance this could be used to create some sort of straight-up server device, almost like a NAS that legacy AppleTalk computers could attach to? Kind of like A2SERVER, but a bit more transparent?
