Thanks for the info, I was able to fix it. I did replace the 32.768 kHz crystal oscillator with a brand new one and that did not fix the problem. It would take about five seconds for the clock to advance one second. However when I did a continuity test with my multimeter, I noticed the crystal...

I have a Macintosh IIcx and the time on it is very slow. I did put in a brand-new PRAM battery and the problem still persists. If I replace the Saronix 90R Oscillator with a brand new 31.3344 MHz one will that restore the time functionality?

When I use the System 1.0 disk in my 128K, the font comes up weirdly. It also does this in Mini vMac when I use the 128k version. The odd thing is when I use the Macintosh Plus version of Mini vMac it looks fine. Is there something wrong with the image?

I have been looking for a program that scans for bad sectors on 3.5 floppy disks like ScanDisk would do in DOS. Ideally, it would work with System 7. Does such a thing exist for Mac? Thanks

I recently purchased an AppleColor High-Resolution RGB Monitor Rev. A (M0401). However, it did not come with a video cable. Will this cable listed here work for it (part number 590-4161-A)? Will this monitor work with a Quadra 660AV?

I pulled these ram sticks from my old 486, and they are 1MB sticks. However, I am not sure if these are non-composite ram sticks. They will be going into my Macintosh Plus to upgrade it to 4MB. All I know is that these have Samsung memory chips and are from about 1992/93 (very odd coincidence...

I just did this to my 180c today. I was also starting to get passive-matrix-like artifacts, but it was minor. After the recap, the screen looks as good as new; it amazes me how good this thirty-year-old color LCD screen looks. I used the Hakko hot tweezers, which makes this significantly easier...

I have two PowerBook modems for my 180c; however, I cannot find any software for them. One is a "Supra Fax Modem 144PB," and the other is a PowerPort Gold Model A502". I assume these are after-market modems since the add-on modem in the Fall 1993 Apple Catalogue is called an "Express Modem" and...

I will usually use Nero on my Windows 10 machine, however if that does not work I will sometimes use toast on my G4 Mac Mini.

Mine has the tray loading CD and the manual inject floppy drive. I assume it is the original CD Drive since it has date codes on the mother board of late 1993. The hard drive was replaced with a 850MB Quantum Trailblazer, from 1995. It is fun Mac use since it can record video from s-video or...

Thanks, very much appreciated!

I have a Quadra 660AV that I recently purchased. It has the original CD-ROM since it has a date of December 1993, and it is an AppleCD 300 Plus (the one that uses a tray and not a caddy). I have downloaded and burned the Quadra 660AV "Install Me First" CD, and it will not boot. However, it will...

When the screen is off, it is completely black (as it should be). I took a bright flashlight, and I did not see anything unusual.

I own a PowerBook 165c, which is in great condition (even the screen hinge has never been repaired). It only has one issue, in the middle of the screen, the image appears to be inverted. This makes it very difficult to use to the point where I plug in an external monitor. Is there any known...

I recently purchased a RaSCSI (the external version with a female DB25 on it) and I am having trouble finding the right cable so I can get this to work with my Macintosh Plus. Many years ago, I purchased a DB25 male to DB25 male to attach two 486 computers through the Parallel port (shown in the...

When I boot it up, I will have to see how much ram it has. I just noticed that it is Samsung branded ram since that is the 1980s Samsung logo. Each chip says KM41256-12. When I Google search it, it comes up as Samsung 256K Ram. Is it possible for this computer to have a total of 4MB of ram...

I recently purchased my first Compact Mac, it has the Macintosh 512k badge on the back; however, when I looked at the serial number, I was very confused. It appears to have been made on the 3rd week of 1984. I decided to open it, and it looks like there was some modification done to the logic...
