    SCSIless LCIII - Help!

    I dont run a pram battery in my 475, I just use the double flip of the power switch method which bypasses that issue.

    Is that CPU socketed ? If it is I wonder if the CPU can be upgraded.

    68k Mac's, onboard video, and LCD displays?

    I have my Performa 475 hooked up to the vga port on my HDTV (using a vga adapter and a vga cable), the HDTV complains a little (complaining about resolution mismatch) when it first detects a video signal but displays fine.

    Calling All THINK Pascal Programmers: Hermes II Needs You!

    It displays with a few issues, but is useable. Just not ideal. Haven't found a telnet client on this phone that works correctly yet. Its hard to type cause when you type it lags before it responds (have to wait 1-10 seconds between key presses). But all of these issues are with the client itself.

    Calling All THINK Pascal Programmers: Hermes II Needs You!

    Had to give your BBS a go, used a telnet app on my windows phone to try. Quite interesting. Been on a BBS a few times a while ago (first time with a smartphone though).

    Blame the auto correct on my phone for saying Mac's instead of Macs in my post.

    Macintosh TV in need of repair - need advice

    After you do clean everything off with soap and water, you can buy a can of compressed air to spray around any chips that might hold water under them. It makes the drying process a lot better. It still needs to sit a few days to make sure it's dry, chips that can trap water under them can be a...

    Warning! Exploding Maxell PRAM Batteries

    To me it doesn't matter what brand of pram battery is used, i either remove the battery and never replace it, or buy a new battery. You run the risk of a leaking or exploding battery with every replacement. My first 475 met its fate by a exploding pram battery which was maxell brand, now my...

    Not Apple related Palm III

    There are a few pictures taken using it on Google, you would assume correctly about poor quality. It will probably never be used being that my phone takes better pictures. Its just a interesting part for a collection if you will.

    Not Apple related Palm III

    Speaking about palm III, i picked up a palm III with dock and a palmpix camera attachment at goodwill for $2.99 USD. The palm works, i just need to get a USB to serial adapter to load up software to use the camera, but i expect it also works as well.

    Apple IIgs power supply.....no more

    http://www.howtodothings.com/electronics/how-to-discharge-a-capacitor that should give you a heads up on what to do. but from what i have seen a blown cap is normally discharged already. the high-voltage capacitors that are not blown are the ones you got to watch out for.

    Broken case (superglue?)

    I just use plastic epoxy that you can also pick up at a auto store. the stuff is a heck of allot stronger then any superglue that i have found, heck you can even use it to fabricate parts (like you can do with bondo on a car). its great stuff to use. there is also different mixes for glass...

    apple IIgs rom 3

    Wow, now that's what i call a score. And with all of those add on cards (the SCSI cards, ZipGSX, and so on) i bet that was a mint. A score like that is something i have always dreamed of (when it comes to the IIgs). There is only one more thing (from the Mac side) that i want, Which is a TAM.

    A few treatments of retrobright and they could look close to normal color.
