Heya.. So I just scored myself a IIgs last week. Came with the Apple High Speed SCSi card as well as a 4mb ram expansion card. I got a BlueSCSi 2, but I'm not finding any IIgs drive images to put on it. I'm also having no luck installing GSOS 6.0.2 from the FloppyEMU onto it. Not showing up as...

Hmm.. I don't seem to have the ability to edit my prior posts in this thread. Was hoping to do this more seemlessly.. Anyways, I'm seperating the motorcycle side of my YouTube channel from the computers and electronics side. So since most of my subscribers have come from my motorcycle videos...

Bit delayed, but here's another video.. :)

Alright, I picked up an AUI to 10Base-T transceiver, and my machine is now happily on the network. :)

No luck still. I do believe I have the driver installed now. But even manually setting an IP, I can't ping it from another computer on my network, and it can't seem to go anywhere. Drat.

Hey guys.. So I've been gathering parts and finally have a whole set. I've got a 10mbit network hub, it's got 4 10base-T ports (modern cat5), an AUI and a Coax port. Scored that puppy at Goodwill. I was like, sweet, I can buy one of the more affordable ethernet cards on eBay now, because I can...

I thought I saw somewhere that there's a hack to get 8.0 onto a 68030.. It's a shame there isn't an active community making modern accelerator boards for these old Macs like they do for the Amiga.

They may THINK the power switch is broken. Don't be too hasty. The power switch is ignored if there's no video signal coming into the monitor. Automatic sleep mode. I've pressed my like new monitor's button a few times going WTH?! And then turned on the computer and it instantly lit up. Too...

Yes, I run this monitor on my IIci. It works excellent! It's the perfect monitor for this machine.

I appreciate your thoughts on the matter. This thread wasn't all that old really. I've been playing with 7.5.5 because it was available to install from my floppy emu. Right now I'm running off a 40mb 5.25" drive in the SC20 enclosure, so this thing is seriously speed handicapped by that thing...

hehehe, my kids had never heard a monster truck commercial. They had no idea the reference. But it was fun recording that, because my daughter was in the room (she's 11) and I'm like, hey, I have some ideas for intros, I'm going to record a couple, hang out if you want. She just about jumped...

Latest video. Decided it needed a good intro. :)

Yeah, I spent a lot of time and a lot of money, and I fully recapped the original power supply. It's dead as a brick. 

Hope this one is helpful for some here. :)

Video got pretty long just recapping the logic board. More to come next week.

Hey guys, if you're like me, you feel like there's just too dang much vintage Amiga and Commodore content on YouTube, and far too little vintage Macintosh content there. So I'm posting the rebuild of my IIci there, a little at a time in a series. Here's the first one, the next one should be out...

My internal drive is back to refusing to spin up without some CPR. So I plugged in my SC20 drive, which has a 40mb disk in it, and installed 7.5.3 from the FloppyEmu. Wow, 16disks, and if you do the manual install and select all the options, it needs 81mb of disk space! haha.. I did the basic...

Advice.. Don't bother. I spent like $50 to replace all the caps in mine. Still dead as a doornail. What a waste. A microATX power supply PCB fits inside the housing quite well. Way more efficient, compact, reliable, and higher output.
