Sorry for any confusion. I have also tried to boot the floppy disks without the Zip drive connected. So I took that out of the equation. The Zip disk has been formatted into 4 (32MB) ProDos partitions, but is currently blank. The goal is to eventually install GS/OS on there. Therefore there is...

Hello everyone, I setup my IIGS (ROM 1 with an accelerator, SCSI, and RAM card) last night along with my PowerBook G3 (Mac OS 8.6). I was able to make a floppy of the Apple SCSI Utilities disk on the PowerBook and boot the IIGS up from the floppy to successfully format a Zip 100 disk as a hard...

Very sad to see this is gone. I had it bookmarked on all my old Macs! Thankfully an archive is made available to download elsewhere. :) I made sure to voice my complaint here though: https://www.apple.com/contact/feedback.html

Well I took this out of storage again to play with it. Still no luck. Cleaned the floppy drive head but no luck. Also doesn't explain why a known-good external drive won't work. However... I was reading online someone had a similar issue. The problem was the IWM chip (Integrated Wozniak...

Yes it was either Netscape 2 or 3. I was using IE 2.1 but that stopped working and this seemed to load things nicer as well. :)

Wow, thanks for all the posts!! I have tried to have a disk inside the IIc when I turn on the system. I even tried some external drives (which work fine on my IIGS), nothing seems to work. I'm sort of at a loss here, my hope is to one day pickup an Apple IIc Plus one day, but for now I want to...

Thanks for the Control-Reset tip! I would have never gotten anywhere without it. Well I ordered a ROM chip online from the previous eBay link I mentioned. I installed the chip and the system works. I can use the Color Checkerboard test and it says "SYSTEM OK". Now my problem is still booting...

Hi everyone, Okay so this is an odd request... and I'm not even sure if it's possible but. We used to have AOL ages ago, and I like my other family members had an account. Years after we stopped the service AOL now allows users to use their old name and email for free. The problem is my...

Hi David, It returned 255. After I did that the TV screen went fuzzy and turned black. I tried to reboot the machine and the floppy drive once again has stopped working. I wonder what is wrong with the machine. I'm certainly curious. Before typing the command it seemed to be okay aside from the...

Well I disconnected the disk drive and the keyboard. Plugged it back in and - BAM it booted up!! Now it just says "Check Disk Drive" for the internal drive. Then I plugged in a IIGS external drive I had. It doesn't seem to read the disk either, although the light blinks. However after reading...

Thanks for the idea, I'll do just that - open it up and see if anything is loose. Thanks! :)

Im not too familiar with Apple II items but here it goes. So I got this Apple IIc machine years back from a flea market for I think $10 or so. It had no power cord, just the other day my friend sent me one to try. So I plug in the AC adapter and - well the power light goes on, but that about it...

Well I sold the machine for the same price I paid, so that person is going to play with it now. I was honest and explained the problems to the best of my knowledge. Thanks for the help! :)

Post some photos! I'd love to go take a look to see what he has, but it's a 2 hour drive and you probably picked up the best stuff so far. I emailed him asking what he had left (from the CL ad), I got a sort of odd response. The person was referring to a Jeff and said that they will be going...

I have the TechStep software if you're in need of it. This disk is hard to track down so... here you go! :D http://www.megaupload.com/?d=629DJYOQ If the link dies PM me or email me, I'll respond fast. -Steve

I just got one of these and I'd love to have the software also. :) Thanks!

Hello everyone, So I just did a fresh install of Mac OS 9.2 on my PowerBook G3. I plugged in a LaserWriter 360 I have got recently. I connected the serial cable and selected "Printer Port" in Chooser (even though the PowerBook only has one port) and selected the LW 300 driver. (I tried...

So for years I've had a few Performa 6115, and 6116 and similar machines. A while back I got a G3 Sonnet upgrade card for it and I found the machine great to use for fun and old games. Today I decided to hook it up and it started to boot up - suddenly it shut off. The power light is now...

I'll check the PSU brand when I get a chance. I have no idea what the previous owner did to the machine. One screw on the heatsink was missing and it looked like there was no thermal paste at all. Pretty sure it's a dead CPU... Although, I found if the startup button board isn't in the right...

Yes I did get the tower at the flea market, I didn't pay $35 however, I got it as a bundle with a few other items. Thanks for all of your information and help, you've confirmed my fears that it was the CPU. I don't know if it's worth it for me to get the CPUs replaced, they're about $50 on...
