There were a couple of M0130 Mac 400K external drives and a Sun Remarketing 400K (same, but no Apple logo molded into case) for $5 ea at Austin's Goodwill Computer Store last Wednesday. I bought one of them and a M0100 mouse, also $5. Both pretty good looking, not very yellowed. If you're in the...

Posted an animation test for a video done entirely on an Apple //e. There's also some new stuff in the music section. http://web.me.com/henryspragens/Apple-II/Apple_II_Graphics/Apple_II_Graphics.html

Found a Kodak DC40, which is their version of the QuickTake 100 / 150 camera. It works! However, it's a PITA to get pictures off it to the web. Kodak's PhotoEnhancer software runs under System 7.5, and the camera needs a serial port and a floppy drive, so the camera attaches to my PowerBook 520...

I dug my '86 vintage Hackintosh (Yes, that's what we called 'em back then) out of the barn and took some pictures. Unfortunately, it's the worse for its years in a cardboard box which also apparently was a home to various rodents who peed etc. on everything. Yet TBD how much of the system is...

I'll make this a separate topic. I have just about all Syntauri software, I think, but some floppies have partially bad files, and stuff needs to be copied to new disks. At one time, I figured out how to defeat the copy protection and get Metatrak 5.0 onto my hard disk. I can probably piece...

Grrr! It's coming back to me now... my old Mountain Music cards don't work in a //e. They only work in a ][ or ][ Plus. I guess I have to find a keyboard for my Apple ][. The //e I rescued recently isn't going to fly as host for the alphaSyntauri. :( Anybody know if there are Mountain...

Here's a question for you A2 experts. Looking thru my Apple II stuff, I found a "Zeus RAM Card", which is evidently an early version of the Apple II GS RAM expansion card. It only has 1 jumper position instead of 2, and all chips are socketed. So what do the jumpers on the GS RAM card do? One...

Today's rescue is a //e from about 1985 with a couple of Teac 1/2 height floppies (all labels in Japanese), a couple of mystery cards in slots 1 & 5, and an Apple RAM expansion card in slot 4. The RAM card is one I'm not familiar with. It looks like it would hold 1MB fully populated, but it...

I posted MacDraw schematics from reverse engineering my Mac back in 1984. You'll need MacDraw to open them. Anybody know of an OS X app that can open or translate MacDraw docs? http://homepage.mac.com/henryspragens/FileSharing4.html ->68K Mac -> MacSchematic

I picked up a couple of 800K external drives and neither will eject a disk after being cleaned & lubed. In both cases the first little plastic gear in the eject mechanism is broken, probably from trying to work the old crusty disk holder. Anybody found a replacement, or are these drives toast?

Grrr! > :( So last night I pulled the old Mac "128" with its SuperMac 2MB RAM + SCSI upgrade outa the closet. No boot. Hard disk keeps recalibrating over & over. Tried to reformat etc. - no joy. Pulled a 160 MB laptop drive with an Apple label out of a dead Duo, installed it...
