    OSX 10.3 install on G3 Lombard succeeds once, then stops booting

    I have here a Powerbook G3 Lombard/Bronze keyboard that I can't for the life of me get to hold an OSX install. I can install 10.3 just fine, but after one or two reboots or cold boots, it refuses to start up - I get the "prohibited" icon screen no matter what. I can't even boot to OS9 on the...

    Tulin drivers?

    I was trying to see if there was any way around the problems I've been having with removable drives and this bit from the Apple II FAQ came up: Searches for this driver come up empty. Does anyone have a copy of it?

    My removable SCSI drives keep getting ejected

    I have an Apple IIGS booting from a CompactFlash card in a PCMCIA-SCSI adaptor (Microtech PCD-25BH). Most of the time, It works OK. Every few minutes or so, however, it ejects the boot disk and all other cards in the adaptor! I have to manually eject and reinsert them to get them to show up...

    Can't get Pivot card to work

    Some time ago I got a Radius Pivot Color NuBus card in the hopes of getting something working with the Pivot monitor I have. The card has the part number 632-0070, and the following is written on the EPROM: ©1991 RADIUS INC PIVOT/COLOR V 2.2 256K U5 295-0014-A Other than what's written on...

    Temporarily disabling PDS slot on SE

    Suppose you have an accelerator with a less-than-stellar compatibility rate installed, and you want to play some games that die horribly on an 030. Is there any way of wiring up a switch to the PDS slot that disconnects a pin or two and disables the slot?

    Pinout of IIsi Pivot card video connector?

    There's a gigantic pile of IIsi Radius Pivot video cards on eBay right now that are missing the video connector breakout cable that goes from the card to the back panel. Does anyone have this card, and can they figure out what the pinout for the cable is? Also, is there a chance in hell of...

    Help me identify these Mac SE accelerators

    This one's made by Novy Systems, but Novy Systems made a number of Mac SE accelerators and I can't pin down which one this is: I'd love to know what the jumpers do as well. I have no idea who made this one, there's no identifying information on the board whatsoever: I'd love to know what...

    Problems with CMS SCSI controller

    I have a ROM 01 IIGS with a 1MB RAM card and CMS SCSI II SCSI controller. The SCSI controller has the final (1990) ROM and a 50MB hard drive hooked up to it. I can't get the system to boot from the drive. The CMS SCSI software will format and partition the disk. I can also install GS/OS to it...

    Portable screen failure

    I have here a Mac Portable that has been through a lot, but for a while I had it working perfectly. Then, for no reason out of the blue, every other scanline on the bottom third of the screen is gone. I've tried rebuilding the cable, but that hasn't cured it (I had to use the original connectors...

    Is there a working copy of RadiusWare anywhere?

    I've been trying to track down a copy of the RadiusWare software, but all the files I've managed to find are corrupted, are in Stuffit 5 format, or contain a ShrinkWrap self-mounting image that crashes. I have a disk image of the RadiusWare 2.0.3 disk, but I really could use a disk image of the...

    Does anyone have the Apple Display Card Rev. B ROM?

    The Apple Display Card 4*8 and 8*24 NuBus video cards had an upgraded ROM available that allowed them to be switched to 832x624. Has anyone dumped this ROM, or can loan me a card with this ROM for dumping purposes?

    Need LC520 motherboard photo

    I found an LC520 motherboard and I need to replace the capacitors. Problem is, the markings on C9 have corroded off, so I can't tell what value it is. Does anyone have any high-res photos of the board (or just have the board on hand)?

    Trouble getting ][FX to start

    I recently found a Mac ][FX. It looks like it's been upgraded from a Mac ][, as it has a Mac ][ case badge but a ][FX motherboard inside. The machine has 8MB RAM and a 500MB hard drive with MacOS 7.6 installed. Anyway, it works fine but it's really hard to turn it on. More often than not...
