Thanks Trash80toHP,  i'm not searching for anything more than 640 x 480 @ 8 bit. I would have liked somewhat higher framerate in Flight simulator 3.0 / Wolfenstein 3d (full screen) / Pathways into darkness . They appear somewhat unsatisfying even in their "sub-windows". I should already have a...

I'm Sorry. Picasaweb hosting service had a permanent shutdown. I will solve asap. I'm managing to restore the old pre-90 machines i collected over the years (up to 2008). At the time i have recapped/restored only the 2 IIci and a IIfx. The Se30 i repaired in 2008 thanks to the help of this...

Eleven years later i restored my retro-obsession and succesfully restored both my IIci boards (suffering from erratically Power on/no sound syndrome).  Micromac Carrera 040@33 MHz equipped one (system 7.1) Daystar Turbo 040@33 MHz equipped one with Apple 8.24 card @ 1151x870 (system 7.5)...

I've been troubleshooting my IIfx board erratically behaving in power on/power off... I noticed that the leaking of acid solution from aluminum decoupling capacitors (C9 and C24 were the only in my board) leads to a "lower than ideal" resistance between +5 and ground (nearly 10 ohm in my...

Hi there. I'd like to know the actual value of a rare rasterops 264/30 fully functional. It allow 24 bit colour on a Se/30 external monitor. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D8vK757y4Rs thanks

Hi there. I would like to know which nubus graphic card to choose for a - IIx with Micromac Carrera 040 33 mhz - IIci with Daystar turbo 040 33 mhz upgrade taking in mind - compatibility with 040 upgrade - ebay availability, - performance (accelerated) - 16 or 24 bit color - over...

Hi everyone i recently acquired a brand "new" macintosh II. i recapped it because it didn't sound and didn't show any video at all. After recapping all 47 mfd capacitors it seems to start every time with sound however video doesn't start. Only one time every 10 video starts and all seems to...

i bought (1 month ago) two fully functional macintosh II and IIx motherboards for 20 euro... two months ago i acquired a Micromac carrera 040 33 mhz bundled with IIx and IIcx adapters for 50 euro. I've seen some auctions with IIx adapter (like the one i have) over 100$ (buy it now) but i guess...

I had read this topic carefully and i decided to capture another real life test comparing 68030 and 68040. Flight Simulator 4.0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OIgIUh_s2P8&fmt=18 Pathways into darkness demo (already posted) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BDqDphSapV8 I've noticed...

thanks a lot equill [:D] ]'> It starts, the letter "F" appears on the upper right side but it is not as fast as daystar turbo 040 33 probably because it is lacking 128k cache. However quite comparable as well, a lot faster than stock IIci 68030.

Hi there... My Micromac carrera 040 was delivered today (33 mhz). I've received IIcx , x and si adapters, manuals. original box but software is lacking and micromac site links are no more available. Could someone help me? Regards.

Hi there... I bought a couple of extended II motherboard to test. I'd like to have some functioning spare parts to address bad eveniences. I deeply washed them and i'm ready to try. http://img65.imageshack.us/img65/540/mbii1om0.jpg http://img88.imageshack.us/img88/8169/mbii3pt4.jpg I would...

If you look as a collector, apple rgb monitor is obviously a better choice. Otherwise i strongly suggest using an old sony trinitron CRT TV, scart equipped as i do with one of my 4 apple IIgs. Overall quality is even better than the standard apple IIgs rgb monitor. My low res youtube videos...

Hi foody. I think you'll find an apple II gs rgb color monitor on ebay. I use to check ebay usa all weeks, despite i'm in italy, and i've noticed that IIgss and their stock monitors go generally for cheap (unlike in europe) Moreover IIgs monitor are fragile and those fully functional will be...

Was the procedure you adopted correct? Something on your system disk you use may be wrong. - download Sys 6.0.1 disk 2 image and put it on a vintage mac superdrive equipped - download "prodos II extension" (part of IIe emulation card software) and put it on extension folder of a vintage mac...

It's really a sad news. Gamba's site was the most important web site i've referred to, during development of my vintage passion: great collection, great explanations, great synthesis of informations. It has undoubtely required a lot of time to be organized and i'll remeber forever its contribute.

You'r right 8-o i've have had a certain experience with apple 14 CRT monitors focus and geometry settings behind a mirror so in this evenience i was "just a little" more unprudent and less wise than i would have been. If you noticed i reached on off switch slowly but the use of extension...

You need the original Apple RGB monitor or something else able to synchronize H frequency to 15.6-15.7 like NEC multiscan or old 1084 amiga monitors. Most tv, either LCD, are able but you need SCART PERITEL connector with RGB input to obtain good quality with 640x200 resolution. Take a look on...

Wally you'r so precise ! This evening i tested all capacitors you suggested: it seems that C13 had been ground shorted. There was a lifted and broken plate so when i tried to connect C13 to the remaining "underlevel" ground point i guess i've intercepted a +5 line on the upper surface. I...
