    Sad Mac on BlueSCSI and BasiliskII with disk image

    I had a Chooser error on my "BlueSCSI hda image disk setup" and restarted. I got a Sad Mac. I tried the same disk also on BasiliskII...but also a Sad mac. Anyone knows what to do? Is it possible to delete something so the disk is usable or should I just make another disk?

    Inspired by the long read about the Lisa and problems with the widget drive I started to test my own. I have six of them and some spare part. Only one of them is working and only if the mechanics are having a good day and cooperate. Sometimes I have to help the head a little bit. Two of the...

    Lisa 2 brought back to live

    This afternoon both members of the Apple Vintage Group spend their time on a Lisa 2 owned by JW. It stood in the dark for 15 years and was still OK from the outside.

    I didn't find a video how to remove the top of the drive so I thought: let's make one! Probably not the most professional way to do this but it worked. And it shows at least how to dismantle one. Have a look at: https://youtu.be/MMIC8DHhDhk
