I have a game and possibly some other stuff from the fellow in Geneva that I have meaning to send to you. Are you still interested?

There are some reasonably priced Macs still available but you have to be persistent, prepared to go collect it/them and know what you are looking at. A working Mac SE went recently in Switzerland for CHF56 (about USD 62) and I'm hoping that it made a new collector very happy for SEs are the most...

Is the RAM on the accelerator or on the motherboard of the Plus? I wonder if you have mismatched speeds somewhere, either RAM that is too slow, a conflict between bus-speeds etc.

I second the Eizo monitors. I have a couple myself and the older grey ones match the 68K Macs well.

I don't know. If they are though, remember that that plastic may be brittle and may easily break while trying to remove them. This is surely something that can be replaced by means of a 3D printer but then colour-matching becomes something to think long and hard about.

@cheesestraws Is this a device to allow one Mac use many serial devices or a device that allows many Macs to send each other packets via AppleTalk? Or is it something else again? If it can be used for networking Macs, would you stick on an RJ45 port to it please? It would obviate the need for a...

If you can get your hands on an ADB Kurta A3 graphics tablet, then do.

Unfortunately, the Veruca Salt [1] method of acquiring goodies is often the best way of getting desirable items without paying the hyper-inflated prices offered by those who prey on our hobby. You do end up with lots of computers (and other things) as a consequence though. @JT737...

Why bother with just one OS to settle on? Pick & choose as you see fit. Mac OS 8.1 does give you access to HFS+ volumes, if that makes a difference. As a default, I would take the earliest/lowest OS that runs the software you want to run.

A couple of points: 1. The LC 475 is probably my favourite 68K mac. It is very upgradeable and can run almost all 68K software well. 2. It needs a PRAM battery to start up. Originally it came with a 3.6V ½AA battery and the battery requires at least 3V to start the machine. I use a CR3032 in a...

If power is the problem, then the addition of a powered USB hub may help. Another idea is finding a PCI USB card that delivers more power. That being said, Mac OS 7-9 only supports USB 1.1 and I don't whether that also regulates the power output in a PCI USB 2.0 card that also supports USB 1.x.

The combo also went for CHF255 in the end, which is not bad considering that they had to be collected.

@chelseayr is correct, the games sprockets are what you need. Here is a link from archive.org: https://web.archive.org/web/20010206041754/http://www.chproducts.com/index.html

There is no reason to post this other than to say, how nice it is to see a Macintosh SE with a working full page display. And it is being offered at a non-unreasonable price. And it works too. I'd offer to help buyers abroad buy it but how would I ship it? Maybe one of the Swiss members will...

Any RAM above 32MB is perfect for a RAM disk. The RAM disk is as fast, if not faster than an LVD-SCSI drive on a 40MB/s Jackhammer. Do bear in mind that RAM is volatile, so the contents of the RAM disk will be lost once the power is turned off. The control panel RAMDisk can load up the RAM disk...

If the Desk Accessory was written in Carbon, might it work in Mac OS X 10.0 — 10.5-ish? Or is it not as simple as that?

I had a look and only found version 1.0. Likewise, that is the version on the MacFormat CD.
