I was able to find a sealed complete copy of Microsoft Office 4.2.1 on eBay awhile back. Not the most popular version of MS Office for the Mac by any means, but I wanted to have a clean install of this version to replace a previous owner's butchered version on my IIfx. The main problem I've...

Tried installing my original boxed copy of Star Trek - TOS After Dark on my IIfx running OS 8.1. The installation itself went fine. However, the control panel for After Dark doesn't seem to do anything (can't switch it on or off/can't program the screensaver to activate at a desired time/can't...

This has probably been asked a million times and I'm guessing the answer is no, but I'm curious to know if there was any attempt by Apple or a third-party developer to offer some form of PowerPC expandability for the 68030 IIfx? Has anyone been successful in getting PowerPC software to run on...

I have two working 2.5" SCSI drives from my 160 and Duo 230. The objective is to transfer whatever content is on these drives to my IIfx. The 160 was sold sometime ago (screen was shot and so were the plastics) and my Duo 230 is in pieces. I've seen some homebrew SCSI 2.5" to 3.5" adapters...

I picked up a Portrait Display around the same time I purchased my other IIfx. Of course, there's problems: (1) The Portrait Display does not show an image at all when connected to its Portrait Display video card (only the front LED indicator light and the fan inside the monitor work) (2) If I...

Awhile back, I purchased one of these Adaptec SCSI cards for my B&W G3. The card itself works perfectly fine and I can mount all of my external SCSI hard drives in OS 9.2.1 without issue. The problem I'm facing is when I open the PowerDomain control utility, I get two error messages - the first...

I picked up another IIfx a couple of weeks back. Motherboard is in decent shape (all original caps) and it came with 20 megs of RAM. Couple of things: (1) The power switch in the back doesn't seem to work - more on that later (2) The IIfx came with the HD carrier/sled for 5.25" drives, not the...

Picked up an A1016 wireless keyboard. Currently using it with my Mac Pro 1,1. Did the Apple wireless keyboards ever have a feature where it could power on the Mac from a cold boot? I realize that this is a ridiculous question since the keyboard has to be synced first to the Mac in order for it...

My OrangePC card arrived today in the mail. The card itself is in perfect working order (pics to come soon). The only significant problem I'm having at the moment is getting the OrangePC mouse driver to work in Windows 3.1 (the driver is fine in DOS 6.1 and I can toggle between Mac or PC mouse...

When I click on the icon for my M2115 drive on the IIfx's desktop, its window opens off-screen. Any thoughts on how to get the window to not open off-screen? Running System 7.1 - 8.24GC Card 13" Macintosh Color Display

After reviving my IIfx and ThinkPad 600E, it's now time to revive my B&W G3, which actually houses a 400MHz G4 board (w. PCI graphics). In the 10+ years that I've owned this computer, it's always had two problems - the Zip drive does nothing (it isn't even recognized by the system), and the...

After successfully installing OS 8.1 using Gamba's instructions on another Quantum hard drive, I decided I missed System 7.1 and promptly reinstalled that HD back into my IIfx. I also decided to revive my 8.24 GC video card, now that the Sony power supply from my IIx has proven to be reliable...

I picked up a boxed, mint condition LaserWriter IINT over the holidays on the cheap. Based on the page count shown on the test page and the overall appearance of the unit, it was hardly used (only 4000 or so pages printed if the page count is accurate). The only flaw with it, apart from it...

Prior to the site crash, I discussed in another thread installing OS 8.1 on my IIfx using an installer script called Born Again. I was able to locate a legit OS 8.1 install disc on eBay on the cheap, however Born Again for some reason does not recognize my OS 8.1 disc (even though it mounts on...

Just wondering if anyone has successfully connected an ADC-type monitor to a Mac II with the high-res Apple NuBus video card. 

Hi Everyone, I had an unfortunate accident with my M1297 monitor early last year. I was cleaning my workstation when one of the legs on my desk buckled causing the monitor to fall. While the CRT and its internals were undamaged, a small part of the front bezel broke off on the bottom left...

Drove to Bolton today (which is about half hour from Brampton) to pick up these machines: Both work, but are unfortunately missing their keys to control the lock mechanism. The 950 has 45MB of RAM and I believe the WGS 95 has 16MB of RAM. The seller included an Apple NuBus video card, and a...

Last night, I hooked up my Apple CD 300e Plus external drive to try out the Apple Service Source discs I received during the DuoDock conquest earlier this year. While these Apple-formatted discs read perfectly on the 300e, I was unable to play any music/audio CDs on the drive (I was asked to...

About five years ago, I purchased an allegedly working Apple DuoDock from eBay in excellent condition. When it arrived, the top housing was cracked (seller later compensated for the damage), and it refused to power up even with a known working PowerBook Duo 230 I borrowed from my old high...

For the past hour, I've heard small crackling noises emanate from the back of my Multiple Scan. It happens every 45 seconds or so. I'm thinking it is just dust that has built up on the flyback transformer after so many years (I've never personally opened up the monitor or done any service to it...
