I've recently got hold of a Lego Dacta Control Lab Interface B, which can control all sorts of motors, sensors etc with Lego Technic parts. I want to interface it with the proper Macintosh software from the era but I've had no luck in the usual places, and it's not been on eBay for at least 2...

So I've been restoring a couple of WGS 9150s. One is an original (80mhz) and the other a 9150/120. The 9150/80 was exhibiting these issues regularly: crashing with type 1, type 2, and type 3 errors after some usage internal video sometimes had random pixels of noise (in random colours)...

Hi all. I recently acquired a PB Duo 250. It had to sit in a drawer for a few months before I could get to it, partly because all my PSUs for Duos are in storage. I now have a working PSU but on boot all I get are death chimes. Apple service manual says this is a memory issue... and to replace...

They're not Macs... but closely related. My latest conquest over here in the UK was picking up these two dual 133mhz 603e BeBoxes. Both need some TLC but they boot :) The guy who sold them to me also has the even more rare AT&T Hobbit based original BeBox. They had to redesign the...

I have a CD of Workgroup Server Software for the 6150, 8150, and 9150. It's System 7.5.1. But it's a German one. Much as I enjoy the German language I would like to use my 9150 in English, either US or British :) I've looked all over the usual sites and found nothing. No downloads or...

I have an SE/30 that wasn't working at all, but with a good clean and a recap I've got a boot sound etc again. Unfortunately it has some kind of video issue, in fact the screen looks exactly the same as the photo from this Apple Fritter post from five years...

I've got a Centris 650 that today started to claim that any CD I put in its CD-ROM drive was unreadable. A quick google and a sniff of the inside of the drive and it's clear that the capacitors inside are probably the cause of the problem. I haven't got the tools to fix it for a couple of...

A while ago I set myself a challenge to remake the brilliant Stunt Copter in HyperCard. It's taken longer than I expected (real life tends to have a way of getting in the way of these sort of things!). Anyway I've finally got it ready for download on my website. It's a bit cut down from the...

I just got a RasterOps 24L (ROM 1.1) from eBay, and the seller claimed it as working (removed from a IIvx), and when installed in my Quadra 700 (running 7.5.5) it freezes part way through booting - just after the welcome to macintosh screen. I've tried these things with no luck: • installing...

Just thought I'd share some photos of my disassembly and repair of my Dynamac, for curiosity's sake, although it may be useful to anyone else tackling one of these beasts. These screws attach the PSU, they're the only ones on the bottom of the case that don't need to be removed to open the...

I've started to disassemble my Dynamac EL (which uses a complete Mac Plus logicboard inside) to restore its PSU, which is currently dead. Whilst I'm working on it I've been wondering if anyone has a clue if there are any user or service manuals in existence? I'd love to get hold of copies or...

I had to share this - just spotted on eBay what looks a lot like an SE case that has been used to house a Plus in it! A hole for the keyboard connector has been punched through the front of the case, and the port apertures have been ravaged on the back! Here it...

So I pulled out my four SEs that I've never given much attention to, in order to give them a thorough check up and remove all their PRAM batteries. What should I find in two of them but some pretty powerful accelerator boards! One had an Orion, from MacPEAK Systems - an 020 running at 20mhz...

So I've just replaced all the caps and power transistors in my Lisa 2/10's Datapower PSU. Seems a lot happier now, except that the next barrier I'm hitting is that the video is messed up: Seems to me that this is most likely cap or pots replacements needed on the video board. Can anyone...

Has anyone got a manual for the Outbound 125, that either they would be willing to send me, or copy, whether via scanning, or just phone camera photos of each page? I've not been able to find anything on the web, a PDF or something would be lovely. It would really help me out! Thanks!

Just found this on ebay and ordered one: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Macintosh-Color-Classic-MYSTIC-LC-575-Logic-Board-COVER-Custom-Made-Apple-/331698918549?hash=item4d3acbd495 Great idea, I'd like the back of mine closed up. I hope whoever has made this (are they on this forum?) will develop it...

So I admit it, I was who bought the Outbound 125 that was on eBay.  :) At $900 I probably paid far too much, but it's such a special machine after much deliberation with myself I couldn't resist... hopefully I've not made a huge mistake!  :O

Hello chaps, I've recently added an HD20 to my 512k and have installed 3.2 in order to do AppleTalk networking etc. The only issue is that System 3.2 doesn't appear to be compatible with my British keyboards - can anyone point me in the direction of either a British install of 3.2 or at least...

Done some forum searching and googling, but not turned up a cap list. So I can order them in and not open up my PB170 more than once, does anyone have a cap list they can share?

I'm having a strange behaviour (just started recently) with freezes on my Quadra 700. The first time it just happened whilst I was using it, and the segment of the hard disk that identifies itself got corrupt. Disk First Aid fixed it fine. Then startups were being weird. So I ran Norton Disk...
