So, a lot of us here are old enough to remember when the market was flooded with Apple II clones. Most of these machines entered the country as CP/M compatibles, to get through customs, and had cloned Apple ROMS fitted once they were in the country. A lot of them had fruit themed names. So in...
I have a IIfx that had a severely rotted motherboard. I bought a recapped board, put it in, and it still didn't boot. I changed the batteries and reset the PRAM, and still nothing. I figured the power supply caps were bad, and went through 3 more PSU's, and still nothing. It sits in my storage...
Here's something that might help, a little. It says that the last G5 towers, from 2005, used BT 2.0+EDR, not BT 2.2. It may not be possible to use a BT 2.2 supporting card from a Mac Pro in a G5...
IIe Platinum. It runs everything, has expansion slots, and the Platinum version has an extended keyboard, with numeric keypad. The early IIe, doesn't have a numeric keypad.
I was always told that the metal shell that the Airport comes in, is not the same as the one that the Orinoco card uses, and the Orinoco card won't fit the Airport adapter.
So I have a bunch of Apple monitors, and I know that one of them goes with the IIGS, but I can't remember which one, and I don't want to risk breaking something by plugging incompatible monitors into my IIGS. Can someone post a pic of the identification sticker on the back of a IIGS monitor?
I'm pretty sure these will not work with a modern router, at least the one that I have installed in my iMac G3 700, can't connect to my router. It can't even see the network, because my router doesn't support the early 802.11 standard that the Airport card uses. I have had to use an ethernet...
The problem is the price that those early mice sell for. I've seen them between $100 and $200 already. The prices on all the early Mac stuff soared, when Steve Jobs died. I'm glad I got a lot of my stuff before then.
Only until they drive the higher priced station out of business, and then the prices go up, but what actually happens is that there is a lot of collusion that goes on, even though they don't call it that. What they do is, they send someone out to do a survey of what other stations in the area...
I would just buy one that wasn't missing any parts, even though the upfront cost is higher. Trying to piece one together from parts, could take a long time, and end up costing more than a complete unit, in the end. It sucks to get down to that last part that you need to get something working...
Does anybody have one of these Lisa's, converted to run the Macintosh operating system? I'm just curious to know how many might be out there. I remember SunRem used to sell them, before they closed down, so they were available for a pretty long time after the Lisa went out of production.
That sounds like a proprietary thing, to me. I have an Ace 1200, but that has a built in keyboard, like a real Apple. I've seen pictures of the 2200 keyboards, and definitely looks like something that can't be easily replaced with a different keyboard.
Considering the damage that leaking caps can do, It's probably best to do it as soon as possible, even though the caps that are on there may not look damaged, or bulging. A TAM is an extremely rare beast, and not easily replaceable, so better safe than sorry. It doesn't take much leakage, in the...
I only say non-conductive, because of the potential for short circuits if a conductive fluid comes into contact with anything electrical as the result of a leak. That's the problem with water as a coolant for PC's. A leak can kill everything.
