Does anyone have a list for the Astec PSU in my Performa 600? It's an Astec AA16870. Please point me to it if you can!

Very helpful, thank you. I'm looking forward to (hopefully) getting this Apple iigs in one piece and firing up the games.

Incidentally I own a BMOW Floppy EMU.

Hey guys, i decided to move away from vintage Macs for a bit and try my hand at an Apple iigs. I saw that there are quite a few places online that advertise software downloads for iigs. I am wondering which of these sites the experts would recommend? Again, I am a neophyte here. Thank you...

Yes that’s what I suspected but since I’m a noob I wanted someone more knowledgeable to confirm. Thank you!

Yes, I got it to work with my BlueSCSI. I was trying to think of apps to put in the ROM disk and that seemed like a good one. I just thought it would be cool to be able to run on startup. But alas, I guess not. MacWrite works no problem. I haven't had a lot of success with games as the ROM...

Hey guys. I am trying to get Mac Paint to run off of the Rominator I I installed on my Mac Plus. 1.0 complained that it didn't have enough memory. I decided to try MacPaint 1.3. That seems to launch but I get the message "MacPaint can't ind work space on the deault drive". Not sure what...

Really? Because my other board doesn’t do it! If I had another Compact Mac I would try it on there.

Hey guys. I need help with an analog board I am trying to run on a Mac plus. It’d driving me bananas! It makes a ticking sound when the RAM test completes. The sound goes away IF i unplug the ribbon cable from the floppy drive to the logic board OR if I put a disk in the floppy drive...

Thank you for the reply. Where do you see corrosion damage on the underside? I am not questioning your observation, I just want a better idea of what I am looking for. Thanks again.

Here are some photos.

Hey guys. I just recapped a dyna comp PSU. I tried to test it on my LCII and it didnt do anything. No power to computer. I assume that this thing is compatible with my LC. Previously I had recapped a TDK and this one didn't give me any trouble. Anyone ever work on the Dyna Comp model and...

No matter what I do it tells me the disk is unreadable and do I want to initialize. I’m definitely only turning a hair. I wonder if I’m doing something wrong that has nothing to do with tuning the motor and that is causing the unreadable disk issue. I know it’s a good disk. I know that my...

This one does nothing when I insert a disk. It will seat and eject but will not read or write. it doesn't spin or anything. If it wasn't for the eject motor, I would think it's not getting power. Is this a sign that it needs a recap?

Thank you for the replay. I’ll give it another shot. How much should I be turning the thing?
