    Etherport SE

    Ok, but as I mentioned, the System will not remain stable through attempting to use it.  This is an 800k 1mb SE, so System 7 can be ruled out.  The Shiva drivers just abjectly prevent the system from booting.  What I'm increasingly curious about is whether this is a problem with the card or...

    Etherport SE

    I just bought an SE ethernet card here.  I've tried some stuff.  It's installed as is 6.0.8 and NSI 1.4.4 in a 1mb 800k SE.  The Network Control Panel sees both Appletalk and Ethertalk.  I don't know if the latter is the card.  The PDS part is Novell and the port part is Kinetics EtherPort...

    SE PRAM Battery Location

    I gather my question wasn't clear.  I forget which of the four holes, two on each side, it was soldered to.  Based on the appearance, I assume the outer two holes.  Based on a picture I saw on google images searching for a guide-image, I am not certain.  Can anyone either snap a pic of their...

    Fit in where?

    SE PRAM Battery Location

    I've been meaning to ask for a while. I inexpertly desoldered the old one years ago, thankfully without harming the board. Is it the two outer holes? The only image I found showed differently but I would like certainty if someone is sure of the answer? Mouser sells these and I want to put...

    P560/CC Screen Issue

    Oh I didn't even think of that.  That's a fair point.  I washed it a few weeks ago, but I did notice it was unreasonably dusty/dirty. I figured it'd be in the monitor.  I just wanted to make sure I didn't screw up the caps since I wasn't mindlessly using a diagram.  Will report back.  Thank...

    P560/CC Screen Issue

    I just recapped a Performa 560 motherboard and put it in my Color Classic chassis.  I had noticed coloration issues with the screen (it kept changing tone and I had to keep adjusting it).  And I'd noticed some "column" issues - where it looked/looks like it's bending inward slightly toward the...

    Fixing the eject mechanism on a M0131 external floppy drive

    I didn't buy them because nobody expressed interest.  The supplier suggested that for / 10 it'd be $12; did not give a single price.  But it won't be cost-effective.

    Yeah... or... if only someone had exhaustively sourced new ones and then received no replies on them...

    7100 recapping

    I'll acknowledge I only skimmed this and it's sort of off-topic; is there a cap list for the 7100?  I had trouble finding one when I looked last month.

    Performa 5xxx Monitor as Monitor

    ... Is there any way to use a Performa 5400/120 (with TV kit - not specifically relevant) just as a monitor.  For instance, could I put a desktop beige G3 under the Performa and for space reasons use the Performa just in a a monitor state [it sounds dumber each time I try to rephrase it in my...

    Apple II Archives

    A lot of the Asimov archive seems to also be .2mg.  While Ciderpress is one option, as noted I have not gotten it to work 100% of the time.  The better tool for System 9 and before is this: XGS.  I can't get iGS-PPC to run, but imageutil does and can convert to and from 2mg, which does net...

    Apple II Archives

    That's a valid point.  But as I noted, the issue is actually getting the files to mount.  Whatever the detriments, I was trying to run the overarching [archive] folder over a network, so I just needed to actually extract (and thus read/mount) the archives.  But these can't be read by...

    So how do you get stuff to a physical machine...?  Previously I've gotten .po files over by converting them to audio with c2t-96h.  I may have successfully converted a .2mg to Disk Copy via CiderPress (I honestly forget).  [i'm also using 6.3, not 4.2.  I don't know if the former has a more...

    PowerBook 3400c Repair Stories

    I figured it was the contact between those leads and the boards, but I guess it's an issue with the right-angles where the leads bend.  I'll fix this when I have time to do it carefully.  Thanks again.

    Downloading directly to 7.5.3, and Disk Copy can do ProDOS - or it had that option, anyway - but I use DiskDup+ because I've had issues with making floppies from images with Disk Copy. So it is possible that the header info was destroyed in the other end. Believe me, I didn't spend 3 hours...

    PowerBook 3400c Repair Stories

    What precisely is the fix for the loose power socket issue?  I tried soldering mine at each of the contact points to stiffen it up but that had no effect.  It seems dead unless you really wedge the adapter to one side and then it's perfectly normal, although it's not really usable since one hand...

    Sorry I didn't give enough info, Elfen.  I don't have problems with Disk Copy to disk.  I have noticed sometimes the images aren't formatted properly in ProDOS and I've had to copy to a new image/disk.  But this isn't that issue, it's that Disk Copy just won't open most images [or if that seems...

    I'm looking for disk images - not audio files - specifically Disk Copy-compatible images. I realize this is a potentially precarious question...  I've looked through the forum but I couldn't find much.  I recently downloaded a half-gig archive but my first test (Crystal Quest) failed.  I gather...
