I have also noticed that somehow people have no idea how to read and then accurately type the model number. Yes it is actually a plus. yeah i have scsi probe installed, doesn't see it at all. I think i may be having a power supply problem now though. so thats 2 votes for special cable and one...

I picked up a zip 100 plus drive that in theory can do either scsi or parallel. I'm not getting any luck using it with my mac, but found some one mentioned that you need their special cable that came with it. Can anyone verify this?

This odd defect appeared on my PowerBook 145 after being on for a while. Any idea what the cause is or if it’s fixable? Is it related to needing to replace the caps?

if the hard drive isnt working try taking it apart carefully and spinning the platters. you might be able to just get the board off the bottom and access the motor that way so you dont have to risk dust.

I was able to revive the hard drive. but anything related to that card is long gone. just word, excel, and some games.

HDD is unhappy, i'll try to revive it but you know how these piles of spinning rust are. Fully decked out with 4mb of ram though, which is great because I don't even have to think about touching the plastic RAM sockets. The computer is also covered in children's stickers so I'm not sure if the...

Hello all, I picked up a Color classic in unworking state. It has not been battery bombed but the caps definately let go. I replaced all the caps but still no go when I hit the power button on the keyboard. Did some reading on here found that the egret (cuda?) chip frequently doesnt like...

Yeah that's what I was afraid of...

were there adapters that allowed for a parallel printer port?

Saw this SE on facebook, has some centronics connector in the expansion port. any ideas on what this is?

Anyone have any other info on diagnosing floppy drive issues on these machines?

Heads look good. Ribbon cables were both good. Even if the heads were bad, I would expect it to try to seek tracks.

I have a powerbook 145 that I am trying to repair with a parts 140 I have. Everything works except the floppy. I tried both that I have and got the same result, nothing. It doesn't do anything at all if you put any disk in it. no head movement, no spinning, the computer doesn't seem to notice at...
