    Apple II+ pure white screen?

    That is why, whenever I find a bad chip, I always replace 2 more, just so the one that fixed it wasn't the last one I tried. ... Sorry..  Couldn't help it.. ;-) Great find!!!! Love reading these threads!

    Original Classic crashes on playing the sound

    Have you booted from a floppy or to the ROM (Command-Option-X-O on boot) and tried the sound?  Just to make sure it's not a software glitch? Otherwise, cleaning/recap seems to be a good step...

    Silly Software search story

    Silly Software search story

    OK, I just did this, and not sure why really. ;-) Cleaning up my Mac Classic recently, I saw that it has MS Word and Works on it. Both registered to someone. So I deleted all the docs, etc.. Then I came across a re-registration program for Word on the Garden, and I ran that to remove the...

    File/disk exchange Windows <-> Macintosh

    Yep, HFVExplorer works with my USB floppy drive directly in Win10.  It didn't at first.  I could hear the drive spin as it loaded, so I thought it was checking.  But only showed it blank.  Even if I tried to reload the disk.  It showed A:, but always showed it empty. I went into the Options...

    File/disk exchange Windows <-> Macintosh

    I am doing something similar... For some reason, I didn't think of using the floppy directly in HFVExplorer. I've just been taking the disk image I am using in mini vMac and writing that image to a USB floppy. Currenty, my USB floppy drive (I got it cheap on e-bay) doesn't work in Windows 10...

    Scuznet SCSI to Ethernet Adapter PCB & parts kit

    Nice... And it does look tempting, but 91 pieces and some really small SMD... I'm not there yet...  ;-(  (Even tho that little voice inside my head is telling me to go for it..  But he's the same voice that told me there was no way VHS would win and I should buy Beta, so I don't generally...

    Unable to access the Wiki

    Same now (I just joined, so not sure if it was changed in the mean time). Perhaps if this is the plan moving forward, someone could change the link in the Wiki Forum.  It currently says (and I tried it several times and thought the Wiki must just be down..  It was a while later that I realized...

    IIsi CAP kit ordered...

    Well, after my experience with my Mac Classic, where I opened it up to check the battery and found CAP corrosion, I knew it was time to check the IIsi. As I mentioned in the other thread, there was some damage on one of the pads under a CAP on the Classic, but it appears to have cleaned up...

    SE/30 PDS Adapter Epic Blunder

    I don't have an SE/30, much less one with an accelerator so this thread doesn't apply to me... That said, reading this thread makes me very happy!!  ;-) Great work!!!! Even tho it doesn't apply to me and.... &lt;thinks about the IIsi I am getting ready to order CAPs for...&gt; ...um...

    Best way to open Mac Classic

    Yes, strange times indeed.... Hopefully it has 2M.  That's what mine had.  I have heard the only thing to look for memory wise is that it has at least 2M.  If it has 1M, then it doesn't have the RAM expansion card (where you can add the other 2M) and those are hard to find by themselves...

    Found some original software disks, steps?

    I was going thru one of my boxes looking for some manuals and ran across a selection of original disks and was wondering if there is a desire for those? Should I image them and put them somewhere (no idea if they work at this stage)? They appear in decent shape, they are in individual ziplock...

    Best way to open Mac Classic

    I just recapped my Classic.  I wasn't seeing the Simasimac, but when I opened my Classic to check my battery (which was fine, but I still replaced it), I thought I saw some cap leakage. When I removed the caps, one of them had some significant corrosion under it that I hadn't noticed before...
