    Performa 6220CD Rebuild Problem

    Good to know--you just saved me a bunch of money :D So if I want to do a fresh install of 7.5.5 with the drive that's already in there, it's as easy as burning an ISO of this and popping it in the CD-ROM?

    Performa 6220CD Rebuild Problem

    So I need to use an older IDE drive rather than buy a new one? I was hoping to get better performance by buying a newer IDE drive. Is that not a good idea?

    Performa 6220CD Rebuild Problem

    Thank you! 1. Is there any reason I shouldn't choose this fan? https://www.amazon.com/quiet-Case-Fan-Cooling-BL044/dp/B00IOIJ4AC/ 2. Is there a reason to choose 7.5.5 over 7.6? 3-4. That sounds like a winning idea. Do you have any recommendations for a modern IDE spinning drive? I need to...

    Performa 6220CD Rebuild Problem

    Success! Thank you @jeremywork. I used the rear power button and it fired right up. I wondered why the keyboard power on wasn't working and it turned out I had it plugged into the wrong port. So yeah, time to go with this thing! A few more questions: 1. Should I be able to replace the fan with...

    Performa 6220CD Rebuild Problem

    Ok, that makes sense, but I don’t have any more 34 pin cables on the wiring harness to connect the video out board.

    Performa 6220CD Rebuild Problem

    Hi everyone, I got an absolutely filthy 6220CD. I stripped it down, cleaned it up, and am in reassembly mode. I plugged everything back in to what I thought was the correct slots, but I couldn't get the machine to spin up. Then I tried taking the 34 pin monitor cable and plugging it in a 34 pin...

    Floppy Emu Hard Disk Files?

    Are there any other hard disk image files available online that are compatible with the Foppy Emu? I bought the card the author preloaded with some titles, but I'd love to have a file that contains more games. I've tried using HFV Explorer to alter the contents of the existing image, but I was...

    Just got a Mac Plus--I have questions.

    It seems that the Power R Model 2702 is exactly what I need. Check this out: http://web.archive.org/web/19990819155946/www.powerr.com/prices.html How do you think this was accomplished? How did it even connect to a Mac?

    Just got a Mac Plus--I have questions.

    I was hoping it would be as easy as modding a Spectrum or VCS, just solder another wire to the video lead off the board :)   That Scuzzygraph is awesome! I was also reading about a thing called a Power R Converter here: http://www.jagshouse.com/powerrconverter.html

    Just got a Mac Plus--I have questions.

    I actually bought this machine almost 20 years ago, but the disk drive died in it and it's been on a shelf since then. I have a few questions in my quest to get up and running again. 1. If I get a floppy disk emu, will I need anything else? Can it totally replace the internal drive (which I...
