    Uh Oh: Stupid Compact Mac Networking Question Alert

    hi all i have a mac 512k and a mac plus. let's say, hypothetically, i'd like the two to see and talk to each other. if i'm not mistaken, i can use an appletalk connection to do this, but according to lowendmac, i need a specific cable in order to accomplish this. could the cable pictured below...

    Good first Apple II?

    because you have an se/30, i would recommend trying out ][ in a mac. it's an apple ii emulator from 1985 that runs on black and white compact macs. if you do end up getting an apple iie or a ii plus, you can cable it to the macintosh and transfer software to and fro. using ii in a mac, you can...

    AOL Instant Messenger on Macintosh Plus/SE

    Yeah, lol. It's really disappointing actually. I used it about a year ago with a few of my friends and it was great, but revisiting the site and seeing scrolling Info Wars headlines was a pretty serious let down

    AOL Instant Messenger on Macintosh Plus/SE

    There is a group called AIM Phoenix that runs their own servers which can be accessed using official versions of AIM. This is their website. Once I can get a raspberry pi set up so I can get the machine online, I'll experiment with ircle.

    AOL Instant Messenger on Macintosh Plus/SE

    hi, guys. i was wondering if there is any way to install an aim client on an se or plus. i checked out macintosh garden/repository, but 2.0.5 only works with 68030 macs, which unfortunately i don't have. is there any way i can get aim running on these machines, and if not, are there any...

    resize microscopic finder window

    100%. it can be interacted with using a few menu bar commands, notably open and close. the finder plays the animation of it opening the window from the disk, but this is what it draws.

    resize microscopic finder window

    hi all. i made some (double sided) floppies of legacy using system 7.5 on a macintosh plus for use with my 512k, running system 3.2. however, whenever i open the disk, the window is unusually small. is there any way i can make it larger? or will i have to erase the disk to use it with my 512k?

    networking a 512k and a plus

    If I were to get a de-9 male to mini-din 8 female online and threw a gender changer on the mini-din end, would that hypothetically work? the imagewriter cables alone go for >30 dollars.

    networking a 512k and a plus

    Thanks for the replies. I'll look into getting the dsub to 8pin mini din cable you mentioned. As for what I intend to do with the network, I just sort of want to see what's possible. Ideally, I'd like to transfer files to and from the computers, but I'll have to test what's possible once I get...

    networking a 512k and a plus

    hi, all. i was told at some point along the line that there was a way for me to connect my macintosh 512k to my plus using a "printer cable." i wanted to ask about the specifics of doing this. i'm not really very familiar with appletalk or localtalk, so i wanted to ask (a) if the two computers...

    hi all, i was wondering if there was any way i could take an image taken on a modern digital camera or smartphone and load it into photoshop 1.0 in mini vmac or on a macintosh plus. getting the file onto the computer isn't a problem for me (i have a floppy emu), i'm just not sure how to format...

    Jittery Display on 512k

    Thank you very much for all the replies! I have never checked live voltages before so I will save that one for last. I'm almost 95% sure that the connections are the issues, as Byrd and Cheesestraws said; sometimes when the lines appear I give it a gentle thump on the left side and they go away...

    Jittery Display on 512k

    Hey guys, I recently was gifted a Macintosh 512k for Christmas. I have been using it kind of nonstop, and I noticed that after having it running for a little over ten minutes or so, the display begins to freak out a little bit. The top and bottom edges start to bounce around a little bit and...
