Your customer service is faster than that of many companies :p Ok, that explains it then :) I am using a Macintosh IIcx with 20MB of RAM, running System 7.1. Nothing else running, so there is about 17MB free. I am using MacTCP (as it was recommended for lower-end machines): version 2.06 +...

Thanks! Testing with the 0.99.7b: The new preference page looks great Preferences / 'Automatic decoding' and 'Default Download Folder' -options are greyed out and cannot be set (was already like this in previous versions, didn't notice earlier) Pressing Download causes immediate 'Connection...

Thanks! I was using 0.99.3b previously. One of the files I tested with was 'http://old.macintosh.garden/games/POP1-151.sit'. I can download it using Netscape Navigator, but the downloader fails (it says connecting, then connected, then downloads a couple of Kb, then says 'Failed to get...

I tested this today on my IIcx running 7.1 and MacTCP. I had only a couple of links at hand for testing, but the utility worked great! I had one issue; I put in an HTTPS address and got an error message, which opened outside my display area (running at 640x480). On the bottom-right corner of my...

Just to recap my post on the data loss -version; thank you! This is exactly what I thought scsi2sd would do when I bought my first unit. This is very nice tool to have! I love how it plays along with Mini vMac. I did have one or two questions in the original posting but I can't remember them...

Whew, this was a difficult one... Now available in Thingiverse, my take on the Mac IIcx Reset/NMI buttons. The server crash ate my message about me recapping my new Macintosh IIcx, and the wanted- thread about me looking for the programmer's switches for the machine. But yeah, I was looking...

I've used QuickFTP to run an FTP server on my MBP to move file to and from my IIcx (using Fetch).

Regarding case-feet, here is my model of the Macintosh IIcx (and others) feet: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4888205. Nothing fancy, but modeled it as I need some of those myself :)

Ok, I bought a copy of MS Flight Simulator for the Macintosh for a grand prize of 3,5 euros, couldn't resist  :)  The manual's cover is a bit worn but everything else looks pretty great. Unfortunately the disk doesn't seem to work (advertised as such). The seller told me that he tried the disk...

Thanks, tried it and managed to get it somewhat better. Couldn't reach all magnets and didn't have time to disassemble. Need to get back to this on better time.

Hi. My SE FDHD has a slight geometry problem; the bottom edge of the image is not straight. From about half way horizontally, it's either that the left side curves up or the right side curves down. Looking at the picture attached, it might be that the bottom-right corner is slightly skewed to...

I did mine little while ago, my notes say that the caps are: 2x 330uF/200v, 100/10, 220/10, 47/25, 10/35, 220/25, 1000/17, 2200/10, 1200/10, 470/10, 10/25 (12 pcs total). The PSU fan is 80mmx80mmx20mm, 12v/0,19A, ball bearing. Regarding the 610 motherboards: has anyone tried retrofitting the...

Looks like 1.6A, Slow-blow (T)  :) Pic from my Mac Plus analog board:

Have you opened System Preferences and looked at Security & Privacy? I think you enable the VirtualBox's System Expansion there (and probably reboot after that).

No worries  :) And yeah, I am not expecting to be pefrectable, just the little step from obvious damage (bits missing) to less obtrusive would be just fine! I've also faced this when retrobrighting; I usually don't want to go all the way in (and risk damage) but if I can get it from obviously...

Thanks for the comments! I agree that in some cases the history should be let showing, but in case there was something relatively simple to make the damage less visible, I'd like to try. If I can get some plastic filler, I might practice on something smaller first. @ronan are you sure those...

Well, I called it mild as there are only a couple of marks per side....  could be worse! Then there is my 512K, which I have no idea what was done to it....  :eek:

Has anyone come across any good methods on minimizing/hiding/filling pry marks like this on the compact Mac cases? The usual story; some previous owner tried to open the case and with a screwdriver tried to pry the case open (possible without noticing the two screws in the handle-recession). And...

Late to the party, but I used two pieces of wood and a vice and it worked very nicely (see https://www.reddit.com/r/VintageApple/comments/hbzidj/recapping_a_powerbook_ac_adapter/).

Very interesting stuff! I have a Sony PVM-14N5E (which I believe is the identical European version of the US model) and I am very intersted in trying to RGB mod it. I had googled some, but it hadn't occured to me to do it with the US model number. The thread linked by PotatoFi looks...
