Anybody have/know where I can find a copy of Symantec THINK C 5? Oddly enough I have THINK Pascal, which I pulled out of a garbage pile at school.

Got the card today. Silkscreened on the board is "MacCon FOR SE Rev C." The part number is as described. There is a sticker on one of the chips that reads "ASANTE-SE U7-A 000094-052E49". There is definitely a connector where a daughter card attaches. No daughter card was included :( Can...

I wasn't lead to believe anything. I figured I'd take a chance for $5 and see if I can get it working, since SE ethernet cards usually go for much more. I actually don't even have the card in my possesion yet. It looks like there is more text on the card itself that is not distinguishable in...

I recently snagged an Asante MacCon+ 09-00300-51 on ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190177380432. This WILL work in a SE, right? It looks like the auction doesn't include the back panel piece with the BNC/AAUI/RJ45 connectors. Does anybody have a pinout of the...

I'll give the various power supply tricks a shot. I'm not sure that the power supply is bad because all of the solutions describe a case where the power supply isn't providing trickle power. When I took the power supply out and plugged it in, I measured +5.12V on pin 10.

Went to the local recycle center today and sitting right on the computer table was a Powerbook 180. I snatched it up in a hurry and set about looking for a power adapter. I didn't find one, but luckily I have a PB1xx adapter already that I use with my Mac Portable. I did find the external...

Okay, I pulled out the power supply and checked it with my voltmeter. One of the pins is supplying +5V trickle power. With the drives out, I reinserted the power supply and figured I'd give it a try. When I push the power key on the keyboard, the LED on the motherboard blinks and will continue...

two times was enough! Thanks everyone! HD is dead but it booted from a floppy just fine.

Anybody know off-hand of good place to check for +5V trickle power? According to Apple, the IIcx is not PRAM battery-dependent.

$50. I forgot to mention there was a Classic in nice condition, too. Watch the Trading Post, I'll probably be selling/trading the Quadra 650, IIcx, PM 6100 and maybe the IIe and/or IIgs.

Local craigslist post offered a "pile" of old Apple computers. The list included a Color Classic, a IIe and a IIgs so I figure it's worth a look. Not only is the Color Classic in fantastic condition, the seller had the original box! The IIe and the IIgs both work well, nothing special. I also...

I just acquired a Macintosh IIcx with a lot of computers I purchased on craigslist. Is there some secret to turning this model on? I hooked up a good ADB keyboard and mouse and plugged power in. There's no switch, so I figure it boots with the power key on the keyboard. I press it and nothing...

I just got a Power Macintosh 6100/66 in a lot of computers off of craigslist. When I first powered it on, I got the chime but got no futher (no video). I switched off the computer and turned it back on, trying to reset the PRAM. The gray screen came up, and it chimed a second time. The happy mac...
