I have a 180c that works well except the screen has a lot of noise / static when it first starts up. After a few minutes, it clarifies and becomes clear. Anyone know what this might be? Screen caps, right? :)

Just found this on eBay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/235279827112?mkevt=1&mkpid=0&emsid=e11021.m43.l1120&mkcid=7&ch=osgood&euid=ae2cb993d74b423c90aa68999a43c28e&bu=43191555705&ut=RU&osub=-1%7E1&crd=20231102054626&segname=11021 Claim to be newly manufactured batteries for PB 1xx models...

I just got a nice Macally ADB joystick from eBay. What are people's favorite games on vintage Macs that support a joystick?

http://discmaster.textfiles.com/ https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33254791 Archive.org is great, but it is really hard to find stuff there. That is one reason I continue to host VintageApple.org despite much of the stuff I've scanned having found its way to Archive.org; I can organize by...

In the last couple of weeks I've used my Applesauce to convert quite a few 3.5" floppies ... 400k, 800k, and 1.44M. It worked well. I even broke the drive eject gear, replaced it, and it kept on chugging just fine. But a few disks I did this week have me scratching my head. They came with...

I've got two of the Farallon StarControllers now, but both of them came with corrupt software floppies. :( Anyone have a copy of the StarController StarCommand software disk imaged?

I think this was discussed in the previous incarnation of 68kmla but I can't find it anymore. I am going through all my media to archive it for eventual posting to vintageapple.org, and other places. Floppies are easy with Applesauce. I'm a little confused about the best way to archive CDs...

As I go through all my stuff to figure out what to get rid of, I started playing around with a G4 B&W 450.  It needs a DVD-RW drive and an HD, but is in otherwise good working condition.  I'm a little torn on this one.  On the plus side, I'm really impressed with the case design and how...

I've got a 540c in very good shape with 20MB ram.  It seems that most programs give me the "not enough free memory" error.  For example, running fetch 2.12. It is running 7.6.1 and the OS is only using 3 Megs and change, so memory is definitely not an issue. The memory control panel does not...

Seems like this would be easy to find, but I am stumped.  How can I select the startup volume (multiple partitions on a single SCSI ID) at startup on an SE/30?  I've got a damaged system folder on the first partition and a new 7.1 install on the second. 

I've got my trusty 540c that I've been using for a while to archive floppy disks.  It's got an internal SCSI2SD Powerbook edition that it boots from, either into 7.6.1 or 8.1, and an external SCSI2SD v6 that I use for storing the archived floppy images for easy copy to my modern Mac.  Some time...

I've got a stock 475 that up until recently, worked perfectly.  It has the original HD in it.  Now, when I boot, right before it is done, a dialog pops up that never fully displays, and the mouse freezes.  I've tried starting with extensions disabled, same thing.  I've checked the startup folder...

For some reason my overclocked 475 with a full 040 is being rejected by all the installation media I've tried.  I have an OS 7.6 CD and that gets rejected with "This program does not run on this computer model".  I tried the system 7.5 installation floppy image that came with the Floppy Emu...

What the heck is going on here? I have an LC 475, a full 040 overclocked to 33MHz I got from eBay / MacCaps. Not sure if that is germane.  I booted it up using a SCSI2SD unit I had copied off my SE/30.  With nothing running, the system software is taking up 130MB.  If I disable extensions and...

Anyone heard of the WebOne proxy server for older browsers, started last year? https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?t=67165 https://github.com/atauenis/webone Seems promising, although at the moment I don't think it does much more than help with the https problem, which, arguably, is one of...

Software versions I've almost exclusively just used what was installed on whatever systems I've gotten over the years, meaning, rather than start from scratch, I just have various configurations archived that came on hard drives I got with different systems, and I clone them for additional...

I have an SE/30 with a recapped motherboard.  I've got a new PRAM battery in it and it remains plugged into power.  And yet it keeps losing the date / time setting, and the mouse scroll speed setting (i.e. defaults to none of them selected). Anyone have any ideas?

More a modern day Mac question than a vintage one.  I've been using Quicken desktop for, oh, at least 20 years.  I've used it through Mac and PC versions.  The Mac version has always been somewhat of an orphan child, I remember that from when I switched from the PC version to the Mac version in...

I've noticed in the last few weeks that when I try to install versions of OS X / macOS from High Sierra (earliest I've tried) and Mojave, the installers are deemed bad with an error message regarding the installer being damaged: I've tracked this down to apparently being an expired...

I've got a Powerbook G3 Lombard set up with a SCSI2SD on the external SCSI.  I've got a bunch of files on there on an HFS+ partition that I use frequently.  I am trying to copy them up to a newly set up a2server appleshare, but keep getting copy errors on quite a few files. I click continue...
