    800k floppy switches?

    Quick question - is the micro switch on the left complete/whole? I expect it to have a lever like the other side. Don’t have another one to compare with.

    Apple IIGS boot requirements?

    Question as I can’t remember from my childhood in middle school. I have a IIGS that I’ve gone over. It chimes twice and the LED comes on. I don’t have an Apple monitor so I was going to try composite video. I’ve got all the proper Voltages but the 12V rail is 11.70V. I don’t have any disk...

    Small board/tab repair suggestions?

    Well - this unfortunate mishap occurred. Thinking about JB weld to mate it back together and then either soldering wire from each joint to joint or scraping the solder runs to solder them together. Anyone have any opinions about best method to repair?

    Using non-Apple SCSI hard drives in Mac SE

    I've done some forum searching and haven't found much here. Looking to use a 9GB SCSI drive that I have laying around that is suspected to work. Apple HD Setup doesn't detect it. I think I have seen something regarding a modded version of HD Setup that will get "other" drives going. Does...

    Found this document...

    I was going through my pile of stuff and found a document the last guy left me.  The paperclip left some rust in the scan but this might be information worth archiving.

    40 MB disks on eBay

    Pretty cool deal - I'm considering one as I'd love to have an authentic machine with a spinning drive (call me crazy) https://www.ebay.com/itm/Apple-Macintosh-SE-Quantum-40-s-40MB-SCSI-Hard-Drive-mac-plus-NEW-OLD-STOCK/254764621805?hash=item3b51279fed:g:bKoAAOSw82hfnXcL

    Two button ADB Mouse Repair

    So I got old clicky clickerton out of the stack of stuff I bought recently.  The left microswitch was wasted so I went with a new one (have about 6-7 switches for modern Logitech mice).  Turns out the switches are identical today as the ones in this unit.  Soldered the new in place of the old...

    Mac IIsi rescue project

    Found this machine on Craig's about 20 minutes from my house - for free.  Picked it up today.  It's a basket case.  One amazing thing is that the power supply appears to be in working order.  I get all the proper Voltages yet the board doesn't turn on.  Going to order the capacitors and soak the...

    Local Craigslist buy here in South Denver

    First I'll say I am super grateful for this forum and the folks who have the knowledge and experience that they're sharing.  Early in October I picked up a rather large lot of stuff. 1. Mac SE in the box with all the books, styrofoam and documentation and disks.  Hard drive is wasted but floppy...

    Mac SE/30 boots but... CRT displays diagonal lines and no actual video

    Good evening, I'm new to the forum as I haven't had any classics for the last ten years.  I was heavily into Color Classic and have modded several Takky's.  Wished I still had one of them... I've recently purchased a collection of old Macs.  Two SE's and an SE/30 came in the pile.  The SE/30...
