Classic II is the only compact Mac I own ... or ever owned.  Really liked messing around with it, and have it running on OS 7.55.  With an adapter that cost more than the computer itself, I can get it online and browse the internet with an older browser.  Also have it hooked up to a SCSI CD-ROM...

In late '86, I was using an old Timex Sinclair 2068, and I lusted after Macintosh products. Other than the Apple IIe computers we used in high school, I knew little about Apple II computers, other than how to program them in Basic. So probably would have gone for the Mac.

Took some pics of the motherboard, so you can find those here: Motherboard: Motherboard closeup: Motherboard front: Mouse port: Motherboard overview:

I can get the cursor on the screen to move in all directions but the left, and moving the mouse to the left succeeds only in moving the cursor to the right. Loaded a couple of games with joystick option, and could not get the cursor on the screen to move more than just a little.

Okay, so posted this on Applefritter, but sadly came to no resolution. What follows is a summary: Machine: Apple IIc Plus, in excellent condition - very clean and no noticeable corrosion on board or ports, no RAM expansion card Mouse: Tried two of them: 1. A2M4015 (initally sent it back to...

Went ahead and ordered the device, so will report on progress here once it gets in. Based off what I've read, will have to either shave the card itself or modify the cage to make it fit. Downloaded all the USB extensions and got rid of the errors, so from a software perspective it should be...

Found this article online, which details how to fit a 3400 with a CardBus USB, and am prepared to get one off of eBay. Does this look like a good fit, or would y'all recommend something else?

Okay, so am picking up a 350 MB hard drive from eBay for around $30 with shipping. Glad I did some searching first, or I'd have picked up the wrong drive. Its important to note that the drive in a Classic II must be the 50-pin version. And those run a bit more expensive, since there are a lot...

Alright, thanks for the replies!

Did a search to see if this question had been asked before, but could not find it - so to the point: Have '93 Classic II with what might be an ailing 80 MB hard drive and was looking to upgrade. As most know, this particular machine sports a 3.5 SCSI internally, so I looked on eBay: eBay...

Couldn't see paying that much for even one of those in good shape. If I had one though, I'd fleece others for as much as I could get. }:)

You've done a man's job, sir.

It did finally download: Went to church, and by the time I got back it was downloaded. :)

Thanks for the answer and the link. Still trying to find a scanned Apple //c Plus owners manual online, so I can answer these questions myself. The helpful folks at Applefritter posted this, but I can't get it to open.

Okay, conducted a hardware test IAW the following instructions: ... and got the following: CARD SIZE = 1 MEG PASSES = 0000 CARD FAILED ADDRESS ERROR SEE DEALER FOR SERVICE 0101- M=00 A=04 X=C1 Y=A0 P=F0 S=DE Opened my machine a few days ago to check on some tiny piece rattling...
