Perhaps as a result of my ineptitude with the search engine, I have seen/found no current/prior reference in these forums to this sale on eBay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330360490902#ht_720wt_1055 EveryMac makes reference to the marque, of course...

With the last update of its Spark audio wave editor before the company abandoned software for dedicated audio hardware development, tc|werke indicated that no higher system than OS X 10.3.2 had been tested with Spark, and even then advised routine use of 10.2.8. Seemingly that was extremely...

I'm preparing a G4 as in the title for my wife, who currently uses an eMac/1GHz, so that she can use an ADC Cinema Display HD (23") with it. Erase and install (using a SuperDuper! sparsedisk image from her principal volume on the eMac) went with the usual ease from SuperDuper! Subsequently...

It's just on three days since I last logged into this site (GMT 1648 Thu 27 Aug 2008). During the interval, neither 68kmla.org nor 68kmla.com returned anything but a black background, a Sad Mac and the two-line error code ERROR/00404. Now that I can connect again, I find no mention of an outage...

In addition to the polarized pin pair for the speaker, the IIfx's MLB has three 2-pin headers that are presumably for selection/connection into circuit of summat-or-other. J106 and J103 are at grid Q6. On the board that I have, J103 only is jumpered. J20 at N17 is also not jumpered. No...

I bought a good clean G4/466MHz DA from a reputable dealer, and successfully tricked it out with an AGP Radeon 7500 so that the Mac could drive a 20-in ADC Cinema Display. I also added a 6-port PCI-X USB 2.0 (NEC) card, 1GB of RAM and a Sonnet Tempo ATA-66 PATA PCI card. Nice, responsive, and...

Perhaps it is more akin to paying a ransom for its rescue than to a conquest, but I have just acquired—at least nominally, because I haven't yet received it—a fair-looking Plus, with original keyboard and pseudo-rodent, and a Rodime external SCSI drive. The Rodime may cast some more light on an...

In the last month-or-so I have acquired three 68040 accelerator cards for use in a IIci PDS (cache) slot, and other Macs through an appropriate adapter: DayStar Turbo040, MicroMac Carrera040 and Mobius Speedster. I installed the DayStar card and QuadControl CP in my second IIci (with OS 7.6.1)...

Misdiagnosed as an Apple IIe mouse, this M0100 (1987) mouse may be of use to someone. Not for buyers outside North America, though. The shipping cost to Australia by USPS is quoted as USD70, which is almost twice the USPS Priority International cost for a 20lb flat rate box. de

It's coming up to a quarter-century since the innards of Unix was a day-to-day concern of mine when I was programming in PostScript on top of Unix on an Onyx (not Oryx) minicomputer through a glorious green-text dumB terminal. I don't remember which flavour, if there were 'flavours' then, of...

We've had some recent discussions about 'dating' Macs from their so-called serial numbers, which are in fact little potted biographies rather than purely sequential numbers assigned at the end of the production line. Characters 4 and 5, in the: 1) older Compact AIOs that began life in Beige...

My recently-acquired CC had a dead 80MB HDD. I transferred the 250MB HDD from an LC III acquired at the same time as the CC in order to get the cleaned-up (including the MLB) and upgraded (10MB RAM, 512kB VRAM, Asanté NIC) CC working. I replaced (because the software will not allow the Sharing...

Further to my post in Conquests about a new (old) Colour Classic: What may be of use to other enlisted to know is that the dreaded capacitor goo was present on two of my four CC logic boards, in both cases around C2 and C3 (100µF, 6.3V) at the rear left (seen from the front of the board), but...

A friend's adult sons were recently setting up a joint ménage. For whatever reason, one result was that they had/found three surplus 68K Macs: a Classic, a Colour Classic and an LC III. My friend offered them to me, together with some cables, a StyleWriter II, a couple of M2706 ADB mouses, an...

Happen you have a 512K(e), there is an opportunity to exchange dependency on an aged internal FDD for dependency on a large external FDD-like storage drive here. Booting into 6.0.8 from startup becomes a possibility. de

I have an (Acard?) bridge with part number A360025 on a label on the reverse side, and A360027 silk-screened on the component side in addition to EC YC0055B, Made in Japan, and Copyright ADTX. There are two Toshiba 150ns memory chips (TC558128AJ-15), corresponding to nothing listed by Chipmunk...

There has been some rearrangement of Forum page titles? Disconcerting to look at the dropdown list of active pages and find the 'verb' at the beginning rather than the end of the line: 'Search – 68kMLA Forums'. On balance, not a bad idea at all, once the mindset gets used to it. de
