Hi all, awhile back I received a Sony FMD-75W-01G that has a problem I cannot find information on.  When you stick a disk in, the motor that pushes/pulls the head just keeps going until the back of it runs into the front of the metal plate behind it and continues to click as the needle taps in...

I have a NEC 1700V and a KDS/Radius RAD-5 I have a couple adapters, one with ten switches and one with nine switches and a wheel.   I am trying to use the internal video and an Apple Display Card 670. Anyone know of good combinations to try?   one question I have is, when the right...

hello, quick question I have an Apple IIe and when I use the "init" command to try to initialize a disk, I get a syntax error. Is there a good reference for commands on the Apple 2 out there? thanks

Just spotted this as sold on eBay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Apple-Macintosh-Quadra-950-Ethernet-Card-Works-Great-Excelent-Condition-/140618140783?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item20bd7e8c6f I last checked on this several months ago, and they were selling for slightly over $200 there. It...

I purchased this from a member of the Arstechnica boards for what I deem a very good deal. It is the 1.3Ghz model running Tiger and maxed at 1.5gig ram and a 40gig HD. Also incuded were older iWork and iLife media. A 512mb Shuffle was thrown in too. I recieved this about a month ago and have...

Granted, I haven't yet fully catalogued that van-full of stuff yet, and that was about two months ago.... I have a guy that has been giving me stuff of his and surplus stuff from the company where he works. I have scored a bunch of software, cords and odds and ends, NUBUS cards, books, and a...

Was having a garage sale when my neighbor brought her old PC to include for a few bucks. It was in very good shape and hadn't been used in years. She thought it was broken as it gave an error that amounted to a dead CMOS battery and she hadn't dared to hit the ESC key to continue. It's a...

I'm having a bit of an issue going through the vast array of machines and floppy disk's I've "conquered" lately. My Quadra 650, Mac IICi, and SE FDHD all runing some form of System 7 read virtually every disk unreadible... Ah well, so they lost their data. Floppy disks aren't stone tablets...

This isn't something I've scored, but am thinking about. Problem is, yeah I can probably scrounge up the money in a few weeks. I'm really interested in keyboards, mice, external drives, cables, the SE, and the CI, but some of it doesn't work (doesn't say which) and I don't want or need all...

Eariler in the week, was speaking by email with someone who had an old Mac she had picked up for her daughter. When she got it home, she realized it was useless to her as it lacked any sort of optical drive and USB. she offered it on craigslist for naught and I responded. I was set to pick it...
