    Finally found the NEC Mobile Gear II MC/R550

    Can't make this Macintosh related, but... I really wanted to show it off, I found an R550 on Yahoo Auctions Japan for 1300 yen.

    Issues getting disk images to an Apple IIe [Error #8]

    I've had a horrible time trying to get disk images from the internet to my Apple IIe. What I do is download the .dsk, .po, or .do file, boot my IIgs into ADTPro from 5.25" FDD, transfer it via serial to the IIgs and have ADTPro write the image, and then attempt to run it. Some games will run on...

    Macintosh SE/30 Sony PSU not working

    I replaced all the radial caps in my SE/30 PSU except the three largest, but it still doesn't work.

    Rusty Macintosh SE/30

    I got a large lot of Macs for $225, but I don't have time right now to post about the whole lot.

It's bright pink, and you screw the HDD...

    Best Hard Drive option for IIgs

    What do you guys think is the best or cheapest option for the IIgs? I accidentally gave away my hardcard and they seem hard to find a replacement for. I would prefer to pay around $80 but the CF card I see costs $115 - kinda worth it yes but is there anything cheaper?

    Tetris on IIgs?

    I wanna play Tetris on a ROM 3 IIgs. The original IIgs version doesn't appear to run on a ROM 3 due to ROM differences. Any other options like different versions or a cracked/fixed copy of that one? I ran Tetris II but couldn't stand the weird random blocks.
