How many of you will buy an expensive computer several decades ago without even bothering using it ? A friend of mine was looking for an Apple II and i found him the perfect one… a brand new Apple IIe never ever touched. Everything is mint, no corroded connectors, no dust. The warning tape...

I have a strange issue with a 800k drive, the ejecting motor is spinning all the time. tried with several motors, the plastic gear is new. So the issue is on the board, somewhere... the connector is receiving 2 x 12 volts and 1 x ground and the switch is working ok. Any clue ??

Hi, i have found a Liron card and also the Unidisk 3,5 to go with it. How can i format and make a bootable disk now… so what is the more suitable way to do it.

Another post related to clones. What is the way to read 2316 Roms ? using a 2716 instead of a 2316 is easy to find, but the other way round is misleading. I will like to read my clone Roms for safety purposes.

I have a Clamshell, used to boot fine under MacOs 9, but last week tried to recover some files and the Ibook refused to boot from the HD. I can boot from a usb flash drive i made a couple of years ago (MacOS X something) but i want to keep the Clam with a Classic OS. The Usb install is able to...

I have been playing for the first time with Lisa OS for real. All Profiles i have dealt with were bad. So all in all a good experience, Lisa is not mine but this one is in very good shape, and System is the French one, so pretty rare.

I have a Macintosh making a screeching sound, but working ok otherwise. The issue is in the LB (tested with another and working ok, so the AB is fine) i have done a swap on both ROMs and those are ok, have not been any further, but probably a chip bad on the LB. How is generated sound on the...

Found a strange memory setup in a Plus. Four memory modules including a connector for another stick. so, without any add-on, memory setup was the same as the 1 Mb original one, but with the modules removed from the board, memory was upgraded to 2 Mb, and with 1 Mb units some unusual...

Among the cards in my collection, i have a french card known as « Porte Parole » Never had a try before, yesterday while having a complete setup, plugged the card and speaker. The software is able to translate any keyboard input to a spoken output. The result is pretty good for the era.
