An update: I now have the base ÜberSE machine built up - with a good-as-new CRT, the existing yoke (after very thoroughly having all the dust taken off!), an SE front-plastics (a hole drilled near the namebadge like so: [ Macintosh SE ø]) for the hard drive LED to be visible :D ...

Retaining the SE's yoke and manually adjusting was a possibility I was prepared to face, yes. Yes, the recess could be widened, but the Classic II has only one recess line. Fitting a caddy-loader and the floppy drive side-by-side would be an adventure, to say the least. In fact, I'm fairly sure...

... I thought all the nine-inch CRTs had the same physical pinout going on... Is this CRT surgery documented at all? I have two SE yokes so I won't be scared to butcher one for the cause. After all, what's an army without a little pillaging? ;-) My original thought was actually to just use...

Not really sure this is even a terribly noteworthy attempt at hackery, but my Newfound SEs are really just begging for it. I have an SE/30 and an SE. I like the SE case better because of the space for two floppies - this will be important in my proposed hack. Both CRTs are burned in...

Hey guys! Another conquest, a few days old, but still fresh enough imo. First the pictures, then some of the stuff that didn't make it through the photography. - BBEdit 4.5 (I'd been looking for a full copy of 4.1 and 3.6 but this'll have to do for now) - Apple Microphone (Sought since the...

A CD of all these would certainly be useful.

Nice find! I believe the error is memory related. It's not possible to boot the Macintosh without its full complement of memory, if I recall correctly, so your best bet would possibly be to take off all the RAM (it's in its own little section), put sockets down, and insert new DRAM chips in...

That's an Asante FriendlyNet II. I have the transceiver that goes with it in my hands as we speak. The transceiver, for some odd reason, has a second LED in addition to activity - it has a "Link Integrity" indicator. God knows why. Can't tell you if it's oddball or rare, I've only got the...

heya Temetka! Yes, I got an SE FDHD and SE/30 on Thursday, which will get a seperate thread when I'm done with squeeing about having them. I'm going to build an uber-SE if I can. It will be glorious. The first thing I did with the CC was attempt the high-resolution modification... alas I was...

ChristTrekker: That font is called Motter Tektura, and a modern freely-redistributable TTF version exists now called Mottek, so it could be feasible if someone has a little experience with Blender to recreate it in higher res. Of course that font is notable for being the font of "apple...

The spotty one is called Arabesque, I have it in 1600 by 1200, and also I have another treat: Arabesque: Flying Apple:

Hey guys. My Colour Classic, as first mentioned in Bundleconquest, is doing something very strange at the moment - I adjusted the display geometry so as to make the most of my screen, small as it is - the display now stretches to the end of the bevel. I did this while the box was hot, that is...

Holy hell. I wish I knew how to ingratiate myself with public schools doing cleanouts so well as some of the others here, yourself included. You got some pretty sweet swag, comrade! I salute you!

Paralel: I believe that's something to do with the Mac drive heads having higher magnetic coercivity or some such - that is, they exert a stronger force on the low-level magnetic field of the diskette than a PC drive does. I could have that the wrong way round. But yeah, differing magnetic...

Ok. Next bit: The Colour Classic : And where it lives with my (currently defunct) Classic II and (waiting on VGA adaptor) Mac IIvx :D

I cleaned the rollers on my last voyage into that thing. Where's the mirror?

An update: This is the output from the printer: (a followup post with pics of the Colour Classic running will ... well, follow.) As you will see, the printouts are generally gray, and there is a small pattern on the photoconductor that I'm unable to identify (I can't see it, it's only showing...

If the kids were ****ing in the software bin, perhaps you didn't want to find the fifth cd *bites lip* }:)

That analogue board is gaol-bait, LCGuy! D:

If that's all it takes to get your rocks off, you need to join the Princess Peach Liberation Army. :p Paralel, I'll consider it Mac Porn when I get two compacts apart and side-by-side, maybe it'll be a geriatric fetish if there's a model gap ;-) LCGuy, stop being weird. :lc:
