    128/512/plus CRT connector pins

    IIe monitor

    Hi all, anyone know much about the circuit of the Monitor IIe A2M2010P ? I have one which hasn't been powered on for about 20 years. On power up it has a well lit screen (nice green on full brightness) but doesn't display any of the characters being presented to it. I am suspecting caps need...

    CC and FloppyEMU

    Potentially a silly question but how are people connecting their FloppyEMU to the Color Classics given the CC logic board doesn't have a DB19 connector exposed on the back ? I was going to connect the ribbon cable from the internal Floppy straight from the machine into the FloppyEMU after...

    Macintosh 128k, 512k and Plus Analog board model numbers

    Hi all, What is the difference between the 630-0102 and 630-0108 Analog boards ? I thought it was that the 102 was a 110v and the 108 was a 240v board but I have recently seen a photo of a 108 board with a 110v sticker.

    Color Classic PRAM battery

    Hi all, I have just acquired a Color Classic and thought I would take the PRAM battery out until I have time to clean up the machine in case it leaks. To my surprise when I opened it up it has this pin setup where the PRAM battery goes. Does anyone know what the 3 pins are for, I am assuming...

    I am trying to diagnose a problem with vertical bars on a 512k and want to know if anyone has seen a documented boot sequence for a 128k/512k Mac so I can work through the sequence. I don't have any visual issues on the logicboard so I am down to trying to work out which chips may have problems...
