Thank you for the responses. How do I access the bearings? As with any retro computing device, I am a little concerned about taxing the assembly too heavily.

Hey guys. I powered up my Mac SE 5011 today and while it runs, the fan has gotten quite noisy. I looked online and I didn't see any fans that match what I have. Weird, right? It's not a propeller-blade style fan like you normally see. Anyway I'm wondering if someone knows how to tighten...

Yeah I tried on several different Macs, no response. I also plugged in the Mini USB, nothing. Buddy told me that I blew the voltage regulator. Does that sound right to you?

Hello folks! I need some help. I've been working with my Mac Plus and SE today trying to get the apps sorted on both. I have been using my BlueSCSI DB25. I wasn't paying cose attention and I connected the BlueSCSI to the Mac SE while it was on. ACK! Now my BlueSCSI doesn't get any power...

Maybe they are similar?

Hello! I was wondering if someone could tell me where I might find a digitized manual for Opcode EZ Vision? I'm running 1.02 on a 68k LC II. I appreciate any leads.

I tried everything I could think of and I still couldn't get that floppy drive to read HFS formatted disks. I formatted ProDOS 2:1 and 4:1 and it read those fine, but the minute I switched to HFS 2:1 and 4:1 it rejected them both. Then I tried initializing the disk in the bad drive for HFS and...

Thank you for the response. I'll give that a shot. I also wanted to ask you about some music software. I got a Passport MIDI interface that's compatible with both Macs and Apple II's. I am currently trying to get it to work on my iigs with an old Casio MT-240 MIDI keyboard. I finally got it...

Hello folks! I have a baffling issue with an 800k internal floppy drive that I am working on. I serviced this drive, cleaned it, relubed per @LaPorta 's video and swapped out a bad eject motor. The only issue was that it wouldn't read a disk. After some testing I determned that it was an...

Hey guys, I am trying to relive some of my childhood fun fiddling with music software. When I was a kid, I was given an Adlib sound card as well as the software. It was great because it didn't require MIDI and the software (Visual Composter) didn't require any knowledge of music notation...

Does anyone have a list for the Astec PSU in my Performa 600? It's an Astec AA16870. Please point me to it if you can!

Very helpful, thank you. I'm looking forward to (hopefully) getting this Apple iigs in one piece and firing up the games.

Incidentally I own a BMOW Floppy EMU.

Hey guys, i decided to move away from vintage Macs for a bit and try my hand at an Apple iigs. I saw that there are quite a few places online that advertise software downloads for iigs. I am wondering which of these sites the experts would recommend? Again, I am a neophyte here. Thank you...

Yes that’s what I suspected but since I’m a noob I wanted someone more knowledgeable to confirm. Thank you!

Yes, I got it to work with my BlueSCSI. I was trying to think of apps to put in the ROM disk and that seemed like a good one. I just thought it would be cool to be able to run on startup. But alas, I guess not. MacWrite works no problem. I haven't had a lot of success with games as the ROM...

Hey guys. I am trying to get Mac Paint to run off of the Rominator I I installed on my Mac Plus. 1.0 complained that it didn't have enough memory. I decided to try MacPaint 1.3. That seems to launch but I get the message "MacPaint can't ind work space on the deault drive". Not sure what...

Really? Because my other board doesn’t do it! If I had another Compact Mac I would try it on there.

Hey guys. I need help with an analog board I am trying to run on a Mac plus. It’d driving me bananas! It makes a ticking sound when the RAM test completes. The sound goes away IF i unplug the ribbon cable from the floppy drive to the logic board OR if I put a disk in the floppy drive...

Thank you for the reply. Where do you see corrosion damage on the underside? I am not questioning your observation, I just want a better idea of what I am looking for. Thanks again.
