Greetings all, Very kindly a friend of mine has dug a working Newton out of his attic and is going to hand it over this weekend (what an awesome dude!).  In preparation of this momentous event I've been powering up my old hardware so that I can 'sync' with the Newton, and therefore install new...

I know that the Atari Portfolio data 'cards' require a battery to continue to store data iirc it's a button cell CR2032... 

Love my TiBook, carried it around the world with me and it never gave up. Always ran a little hot for my taste though!

Hallo ouens ek hoop almal is goed hey! I'm having some problems with recent acquisitions that I am hoping someone may be able to advise me on... I have a Classic a SE FD and an SE FD HD, all of which have some issue, here they are above out in my garage workshop where I had  hoped to use one...

I'm very jealous of the Quadra, awesome :)  

Lekker finds there ande765a I'm jealous of your haul! :) Fix that silver shiny!  

...Stay awhile and listen! :)

I have a copy of D2 + D2 lord of destruction I bought myself for my TiBook when I visited NYC for my 21st birthday. It worked as a PC installer as well iirc. I still have both of the disks but I'm not so sure I kept the boxes for it all (I know, sorry.)

I am very jealous of this haul of Quadra's, I really want a Quadra (even a case would do) - they're difficult to come by around here.  Love all the Jurassic Park trivia in this thread, it's something that stood out to me at the time, Hotdog Zanzibar's analysis of Nedry's desk is probably the...

Love the TiBook I bought one new back when I was at Uni and I still own it - I flew it to NYC with me once on my 21st birthday (now so long ago!). Cosmetically it's a bit rough around the edges but generally it's OK.  Always seem to run hot for my liking but recently I got her up and running...

I always wanted a Psion, I hear the screen ribbons can become an issue (as can hinges on some models) so I'd ensure both of those areas were as good as can be. Nice find! :)

Good luck with this Elfen it sounds like a real challenge!

I believe it's a parallel attachment... I will check this out and get back to you all on this. Where I live retro Apple equipment isn't that commonplace so if I need things like cables I usually have to end up searching the online auctions and paying through the nose.

Apple FTP ok... I have no dongles to provide networking (although I do have a load of vintage PCMCIA nics for networking assuming I can find a suitably vintage driver..). I do have a Zip drive I bought many years ago that I will read up on the application of, that seems most promising to me as...

Hi Guys I struggle with finding where to gain the install files from. I have many systems that I think are capable of imaging some floppies with the media files but I don't know where one would go to achieve 7.5.5 or any other version for that matter. Thanks for all the comments though, this...

Congratulations on bringing it back up the well!  Excellent work sir :)  

Good luck with them! I despair for machines left to operate in bad atmospheric conditions.

Success!  She lives again! In the end I had to swap the screen, the battery backup, the hard disk and the trackpad with the spares I had in the workshop but I eventually hit on a combination that works. I stripped the unit completely down and got rid of the remaining Copper Sulphate that...

Thanks for the replies guys, can someone suggest the best way to get the copper sulphate off the board? Should I try and scrub this stuff off or pick it off with something like a cocktail stick?  I will check the caps visually, I didn't really dismantle the board, I know the leak has managed to...

The campus I work on is busy shutting down buildings to move to new shinier centres (me included). A sad day for some but not for me, I dug through all the various skips that housed dustry treasure and got a load of stuff including a Powerbook 190... Much like the last unit I salvaged from the...
