Bumping this old thread because...this computer is about to go on the market in about 15 minutes...

Awesome work!!

I think one of you out there has an SE with a blue LED. I'm 90% sure I sold one to a user on here three years ago. I bought the LED at Radio Shack when it was still around.

Count me in as another one who no longer likes the idea of tantalum caps. Some years ago, I posted about a re-capped LC having some video interference issues. The LC had tantalum caps on its board and I believe they may have been a little off from the original values. After switching to...

From my experience: The early SE had red, which I usually have seen paired with a MiniScribe. Sometime around the SE/30 launch, amber began to be used quite frequently. Green is a rare color in the SE line but I've seen it on an OEM drive (including in the SuperDrive model). Most SE/30s I've...

I own nine pizza box LCs and not one of them came with a screw, including the one I bought new. If it had one in the box, it got tossed in 1992, but I don’t remember one ever being in there.

Was this computer ever intended to be called the LC IV? I remember my dad saying something about a rumored "LC IV" at some point in 1993 right around the time this computer officially came out. (Note: he didn't work for Apple, nor was he in the tech sector; he was, however, a teacher and was in...

Or you could just go the lazy route, put the contents of the Classic's ROM disk on a floppy, and use it to boot the Mac. It's 6.0.3, so it will work. Also, does anyone know the story behind the funky Brightness control panel on the ROM disk? It's a vertical slider and the sun icon is thinner...

I don’t think anyone here has yet mentioned the platinum 512Ke that wasn’t badged as an ED. It looks like a Plus from the front with the non-square Apple logo being in line with the drive, but has no silkscreened words on it. The rear is a 512k bucket in platinum. I’ve only ever seen one and I...

They were designed to be cheap. The Classic is essentially a repackaged SE SuperDrive with a bunch of features missing (expansion slot, second floppy, second ADB port). There are some very obvious cost-cutting measures such as the smaller board, inferior power supply (compare it to the Sony in...

Don't forget the case variation of the Classic II. Some have the speaker grille, some (mostly very early ones from 1991) don't.

Just don't be so pointless that we have to refer you to the Department of Redundancy Department...

Awesome score there! I always thought Cyan's best titles were the three earliest ones: The Manhole, Cosmic Osmo, and Spelunx. (I always wished they would have made more rooms for Spelunx and I have long thought about trying to program one, but alas, my art skills are nowhere near my HyperCard...

@bigmessowires since we're talking a lot about the reasons we love Tetris Max, I have to ask...how did you and Peter Wagner get acquainted? The music in the game is great and there are actually quite a few remixes of the song on YouTube, believe it or not.

The Cook Tetris sounds like a really awful adaptation of the game, but there is one far worse than that called Tetricycle...OK, who remembers the big reason that one was so bad?!?
