    How Many SCSI Drives?

    How many SCSI drives can the Mac SCSI bus support? Is it actually all 7 devices, or is it 6 plus the host adapter? I found a source for some really cheap swapable drive trays and 9G drives but I don't want to buy too many ;) I was thinking of riviting together a form-fitting aluminium case...

    IIe Scrambled Video?

    I pulled out my IIe that I haven't touched in years and found the video to be scrambled when I turned it on. When you boot without an OS (no floppy drive) it should say Apple //e but in its place are some scattered pixels at the top of the screen. I've tried this with the IIe monitor and a TV...

    A happy old PC...

    I picked an old PC, clearly already upgraded several times: The case belongs to a generic 386, (with the ever-cool TURBO! button) ASUS mobo, P1 133, 64Mb ram, no optical drive, 2 hard disks (1G & 3.5G) A great man once said "There's no kill like overkill."" So I added a 200MHz P1...

    Could the 68010 processor could be installed in a Plus? It is available in the same form factor (63 pin DIP), and has the same power requirements. Would I also need a new clock crystal? As I understand it, the plus has a 15MHz crystal that is divided in half for the 7.8MHz CPU.

    LC II with a VGA monitor

    I am trying to revive an LC II because my iMac usb floppy drive can't seem to recognize 800k disks. I don't have access to the 12in monitor that came with the thing and I have it connected (via a stubby converter plug) to a 15in SVGA monitor. When i turn it on, the monitor light stops blinking...
