I'm afraid that I've come to the conclusion that the original 20mb Conner in my Portable is dead. It will spin up, but the computer doesn't see it. I'd thought it would be simple just to drop a 3.5" desktop drive in it, but after I looked at it I realized that's not going to be the case. Is...

Alright, I'm trying to get my 170 actually useable after getting a new hard drive in it. I found a 7.5 universal restore disk on the garden that's labeled for the 170, so I want to try that(before plan B-installing 7.0.1 from floppies). I can't seem to get it to boot from my CD-ROM, though. I...

Hi Everyone, I was given a PowerBook 170 today(and some other goodies like an extra battery and a charging cradle). My issue is that the PSU seems to be dead on it. A whack on the side will sometimes get it to read in the 7.5-8V range on my VOM, but it won't stay there. Does anyone have any...

I seem to be having a terrible weekend for Macs-after finding a swollen batttery in my Unibody Macbook, I decided to get out my 2400c and install some software on it now that I have a SCSI adapter. I last used the computer 2-3 weeks ago and it was working fine, albeit with a bad battery. I now...

I have a Mac II around here that I've worked with on and off for a while. I suspect it needs a recap(or rather I'm sure of it), but thought I'd ask and see if there's something else I could try. Basically, when I first received the computer it was dead as a doornail. I was advised to replace...

For a while, I've wondered if there's anything specific that differentiates an early ADB KB as a IIgs keyboard. My IIgs came to me without a board at all, but several months later bought a bunch of ADB peripherals. Included in the bunch were a couple of keyboards with "concave" key caps. They...

I have a DuoDock on the way, and one of the things I noticed in the photos that is that it doesn't look like it has the FPU. I'm not overly familiar with these, but I think that because there's an empty socket on the front left side of the board in the dock. From what I've found, these used the...

I just picked up a "non working" 2400c from a recycler on Ebay that booted right up as soon as I powered it on. Unfortunately, it looks like the OS is password protected. Does anyone recognize the password protection program, and if so how to defeat it? I'm a bit "stuck" on this one, since I...

With as long as I've been playing with Macs, I'm actually a bit ashamed to have to ask this, but I'll swallow my pride and ask it anyway. I recently picked up a Wallstreet(292mhz). The HDD was blank when I got it, so I initialized and installed the retail 9.2.1 disk(I haven't updated it to...
