    Mac Plus questions

    caps? hmmm, if they look ok ... then they're probably ok. clicky-floppy? that sounds bad, especially if its a continuous clicky ... the drive must think there is something in there to read. The heads might be dirty. I'd blast some compressed air in there, use a FloppiClene, or just replace it...

    FTP server on a Macintosh 512Ke

    screenshots for telnet? its pretty simple, just launch the application, go to edit>preferences>FTP server, select "on, username & password required," (i think you set these in file sharing in the control panel). that's about it. What client app. are you running?

    I have a 661-0345 Disk Drive 800K -Red Serial # (MFD-51W-03) from a plus that may be in working condition. If you want it, I'll test it and see if it works ...

    FTP server on a Macintosh 512Ke

    Telnet is a great FTP server! I've had it happily serving up files from my Plus' 40 MB external SCSI hard drive. :beige: As far as FTP clients, I've had Terminal v1.5 on OS X 10.4 work with Telnet 2.6. What I'm having trouble with is finding a suitable client on my iPhone to work with my...

    design ideas for a SD-card floppy emulator

    Keep up the good work! :beige: This is a very exciting project that I'm sure is being closely watched by a lot of hobbyists that lurk here on this forum. I really want to build one of these sometime in the near future!

    Loband: web fat trimmer for limited clients.

    I'm sending this in with telnet 2.6 -- which is really an amazing program. Edit: here's a picture.

    CTRL key on the M0110A keyboard

    Is there a way to input the CTRL key on an M0110/M0110A keyboard? More specifically, is there a way to input the CONTROL command on a classic Macintosh?

    Stunnel: Emailing with OE5 & GreenMail

    I've been having trouble with Baton Mail on a Mac Plus running System 7.1 -- it just seems to bomb and crash every time I try to launch it. However, I can get it to run successfully on a PPC mac. Does Baton Mail not support the 68000 processor? Is there a work around for getting Eudora Lite...

    Siri to Mac 512K

    You've done it again -- another totally awesome hack for connecting 21st century technology to the venerable 512K! :beige: Now I wonder what would happen if you used MacTalker and had the Mac talk to Siri ...

    Old Apple Ad 1980: "The best supported personal computer..."

    Seeing this old Apple ad made me laugh because the advertising direction that Apple used to have is totally opposite to what they have pushed for in the last decade. As in the infamous "Hello, I'm a mac ... and I'm a pc" TV ad series. At the time of this ad you had the Commodore PET, TANDY...

    Mac 512K to Nintendo 3DS

    Would you be interested in sharing that script? The one thing I really like about EasyShare is that it shares external floppy drives, as opposed to file sharing in System 7, which does not. Its just so much cooler to get a floppy drive fired up remotely from your iPhone!

    Mac 512K to Nintendo 3DS

    The 10-minute timeout with EasyShare Demo is a HUGE bummer! I saw some talk in another thread about this 36khz watch crystal inside the Classic Mac. Without it, the machine should still start up, it just will not keep time. But hey, isn't not keeping time is a good thing when EasyShare Demo...

    Mac Plus to PC serial connection

    The cabling from the Plus' serial port: DIN-8>DB-25<>DB-25>USB to the PC's USB port sounds dicey. I would think that there would have to be some sort of drivers + adapters in between to get a connection through with that setup. You may want to go in the direction of doing a...

    Classic Battery explosion [pics!]

    Is that the PRAM battery that fell to the bottom of the Classic's case (and subsequently went thermonuclear)?!! Its a blessing that no one was hurt.

    Long Term Storage

    I would pull the lead-acid battery out of the Mac Portable, Apple says to store it with a 50% charge (if it still holds a charge ;) . As far as the logic boards and other PCB's -- AVOID MOISTURE! Use moisture sealed, vacuum packed bags. Moisture causes corrosion, de-lamination, cracking...

    Anyone else noticed the rise in value of compact Macs?

    about a month ago i witnessed a crazy bidding war on eBay over a functioning Apple Hard Drive 20SC with a clean install of SSW 6.0. things ended very well for the seller with the bids topping out in the +$200 range!
