I can't speak for the 95 cartridge, but I've had the same problem with my 98 cartridges. Either the wiper blade was good when I got the cartridge, and it deteriorated over a couple of years, or it was bad to begin with. I've had a bit of success by taking a wiper for a different cartridge...

hehe, for the last few years I was adamant that this came from an All in One PowerMac. Didn't realise it was a tower :I .

Thanks guys! Did I ought to be able to build a working machine out of this? e.g., could I connect the pins directly to a VGA monitor, and maybe use an ATX PSU?

I was given this motherboard from an All in One PowerMac as part of a lot of computer parts about 6 years ago. I pondered building it into a system somehow, but I never got round to it and it has sat in my junk box gathering (lots of) dust. Could anyone identify what machine it is from? It has...

I bought a cheap thrid party PSU from ebay. It works, but the plug needs wiggling about a bit to get the computer to notice it. Then, I plugged in the Apple PSU, which I thought ha broken, and it turns out that it actually works fine. So I don't know what happeed there. I'm just glad I have my...

Just checked on the bottom of both PowerBooks. They do indeed have the same maximum current rating. Can anyone recommend a good quality third party power supply? There don't seem to be any official Apple ones on ebay at the moment.

Is it OK to power a G3 Lombard from a PowerBook 1400's power supply? I had two 1400 style PSUs which unfortunately broke so I bought a new one a couple of years ago. I started using that with a Lombard which I obtained last year and about 6 months ago, it also broke. So now I have no power...

I also have a German Newton, and as far as I am aware, you can only change the language by changing the ROMs for an English version.

I saw this on E-Maculation earlier. Wasn't there also a Twitter client for the Commodore 64? I would be interested in trying this just to see what it does (the fact that it is recent 68k software alone makes it interesting), but first, I would have to know what twitter does. I gather that it is...

Maybe we could all contribute a few pounds (or dollars) each so someone can afford to buy it and see what happens.

I dare someone to buy it.

I'm not planning on making an ADC for the Macintosh at all. I was just wondering if anyone else had and how it may be possible. Perhaps something could be done with a PIC? i don't really know much about any microcontrollers, but I know PICs can have ADCs built in and have some form of serial...

My project at college this year has been to make an analogue interface for a PC, by connecting an ADC chip to the parallel port. This is then controlled using a Microsoft QuickBasic programme in MS-DOS 6.22 (running on a speedy 1.8GHz Athlon XP system). This is working quite well, and I was...

I have a Jaz Drive which i use with ym PowerBook 1400. I only have two 1GB disks which work though. I have two 2GB disks that came with my drive a couple of years ago which don't work.

Which version of AppleWorks are we on about? We had a boxed copy of AppleWorks 5 for Windows at Junior school several years ago, unfortunately though, I couldn't get the contents of the installation CD to copy onto the two high density disks that i had with me. I have a copy of ClarisWorks 4...
