    All the boards for a Lisa, possible to find?

    I kind of have my eye on an complete Lisa 2/10, incl. keyboard and mouse (the normal one, not the first Lisa version one). Only none of the logic boards nor the PSU are there. Are they sometimes popping up on places? PSU I already saw once, but hardly ever any of the PCB's or even the frame...

    Dual booting Apple Lisa

    Well, I saw this video just recently: It's a Lisa 2/5 with the external 5MB Profile. I have a Lisa 2/10 with MacWorks XL 3.0 installed on the Widget. My Lisa runs of the H/88 rom, does not have the hardware mod for the square pixels, so should be able to run both MacWorks and LisaOS. In...

    What color monitor for //c ?

    So, the monochrome monitor which came with the //c blew it's rifa(s), and as they do, also my nostrils :) . Didn't give a blink though, still working, but before using it again I'll replace the rifa's, and possibly other capacitors as well, will asses what needs to be done after opening it up...

    Berenod's conquests and collection

    Since I seem to be running into lots of interesting stuff recently, better to continue in one single thread, stole the title from @Durosity :cool: So, new one just came in, a laptop once touted to be the fastest in the world (however briefly). Meet the Powerbook 3400C: Fitting for the Easter...

    The slow process of coaxing my Lisa (2/10) back to life

    As mentioned in my other thread I have acquired a non working Lisa 2/10. First impressions, the machine actually boots as it puts out beeps as woud be expected: high, high, low which is no keyboard/mouse, as indeed they are not connected. high, high, high which I think is no data received from...

    Mouse for Lisa 2

    They are obviously hard to find! Can they be constructed from another mouse? Anything adb like or some such? Have an eye on a Lisa 2, but mouse is missing, trying to figure out how problematic this would be!

    Berenod's Quadra 950 find

    Have been on the lookout for a Quadra 950 for a while now, and with a bit of patience (well, a lot actually) I saw one pop up on a local second hand website. Not much details, apart from that it was working and had a bunch of peripherals. Picked it up this morning, and ended up pretty...

    Hybrid from Portable on the way out?

    I have a fully functional, recapped Portable (m5120). Never had any problems with it. Hadn't used it in a while. Just today took it out to use for a bit, discharge and charge the lead battery a few times (stored outside the portable). However, with the battery fully charged (6.7V), the...

    Swapping screens between Powerbook Duo 230 and Duo 250

    Anybody knows if the displays are interchangeable? The 250 uses an active matrix screen, the 230 a passive matrix. Talking about swapping the complete screen with housing and all, just wondering the connector on the mainboard is exactly the same, I would guess it is, as otherwise the machine...

    Unknown Mac SE PDS card

    Cleaning up a Mac SE for a friend (Miniscribe didn't work anymore), got it back to work perfectly nice. But, when I got it, I noticed an extra DB 9 connector on the back, never seen one before. After opening the machine up, the DB9 connector was patched up to a PDS card installed in the...

    More then 8MB on Mac SE/30 with stock ROM

    Hi, I just received my 16MB (4X4MB) purple ram, which supposedly should work in my SE/30. As I only have the stock ROM, I kept the 4 original 1MB simm's in bank A, and put the four 4MB simm's in bank B. Put mode 32 on it (am running system 7.1 on the SE/30). Weird thing is, the new simm's are...

    Continuing saga trying to aquire working SE/30

    As described in this thread, I seem to be coming across plenty SE/30's which the sellers all assume to be working, just because the CRT turns on... I already got myself a battery bombed one, of which I make no illusions as to ever see it working. Did get get me a bunch of working spares though...

    Mac SE/30 with regular Mac SE front???

    I just found an apparently rather clean and very complete Mac SE/30 for sale. Keyboard, mouse, carrying bag, some what look like original accompanying floppies.. However, the front of the machine looks exactly like my regular SE FDHD. On the back it has got the SE/30 (M5119) label... Kind of...

    Powerbook Duo230 with DuoDock

    Got lucky with a 2nd hand listing I came across. Three Duo Docks, two of them had a powerbook inside, bought them for 100€, hoping there was some life in it. Owner inherited them from a deceased family member, didn't even know what they were, never put power on. Them Duo Docks are pretty rare...

    Apple Lisa 2 value

    I have been contacted by somebody (who knows I have a tiny vintage Apple collection) wanting to sell an Apple Lisa 2 (A6S0200P). Working condition with keyboard/mouse. Price is a bit steep, but a quick search on Ebay doesn't even show any for sale! So very hard for me to decide wether it's a...

    PowerBook 3400c, what type password?

    Somebody is selling an apparently working PowerBook 3400c. Supposedly from deceased grandfather. Password unknown. Cheap! If it is an OS level password, no problem, but firmware password I am not sure about. Can anybody see from the screenshot if it is indeed the firmware password being asked...

    Accelerator card for Macintosh SE

    Are there still for sale somewhere? The Micromac website is still "live, but since the "last updated" is stuck on somewhere in 1998 I doubt ordering there makes much sense 🤣 Don't really find much on ebay either, but not exactly sure as to what to search for, don't really know much names /...

    Preserve an SE (M5011) for the future

Got in the car and drove out straight away. So, it is indeed working, I guess a 20MB harddrive and 800k floppy. Boots, programs work (word...
