    Mysterious Apple IIc Color Display

    A few months ago I picked up this old Apple Monitor out of a bunch of discarded CRT screens. I will admit I have never seen one of the color IIc displays before, only the IIe Platinum version which seems to be basically the same. Anyway, I was even more curious once I saw this strange connector...

    6100 AV Card Red Lines @ 256 Colors

    Just got an AV card out of a trashed 6100 AV to stick in my trusty 6116CD. When I first booted it up I got an image, but there were red line showing up at regular intervals on the screen. Anyone run into this before? Strangely, it goes away in Thousands or Millions of colors, but I wonder if the...

    LaserWriter 8 Doesn't Show up in Chooser

    Ok so I have a 7.5.5 machine that works just fine on the network, with Appleshare and the LaserWriter 8.5 software installed. The thing is, I ONLY see the AppleShare icon in chooser when booted normally and when I try to run the desktop printer utility it says I need to have the desktop printer...

    Franken Centris 650

    As I mentioned in another thread about my broken IIci - I also had a "Centris 650" sitting around. The thing is - it isn't really a Centris 650, or at least it isn't a WHOLE one. At some point it looks like a Centris 650 was shoved inside a Mac IIcx case and the back was drilled out and replaced...

    Mac IIci No Power

    Hello! I recently dug some decade old projects out of storage and the first one I wanted to tackle was an IICI machine. It had obviously leaking caps on the board so I took it out and replaced all the surface mount ones. There was some trace/pad damage but I think I got everything hooked back...

    G4 (Gigabit?) and Geforce 4MX

    Hello! Back with more G4 recovery projects. So I have a G4 with AGP that includes the extra little socket for an ADC card and has a Geforce 4MX card sitting in it now from Apple. It is a dual 500 but I recall putting in a card from a newer machine (probably quicksilver?) at some point in the...

    G4 Rescue!

    Early this morning I was alerted to some G4's discarded on the streets of San Francisco so I headed over to the spot and grabbed a Yikes 350 and a totally gutted Sawtooth 400. They are super dirty but I hope to get the Yikes working at least if possible, saving one of these little guys from the...
