I will be interested to hear about your results... I have an LC III, my only 68k mac. It needs recapping too, I imagine.

When I was in high school back in 2004/5 I bought one of these on eBay for 16 dollars, free shipping. The following year my mom told me I didn't need so many computers in my room and said I should sell it. Today I am really kicking myself hard for not resisting that move. It went to a church...

Hi all, I recently bought an iMate adapter to use my ADB keyboard on a PC running Basilisk II. I noticed that when I boot up System 7 in Basilisk and then press the power button, it doesn't do anything. It also doesn't do anything when I press it while in Windows. I noticed in the Basilisk II...

I'd like to get an external SCSI CD-ROM for my LC III, but most of the apple brand ones on eBay are way overpriced. I am wondering if it is possible to use third-party external CD-ROM with older macs (system 7). If so do you need special drivers for them or do they work out of the box?

I am actually working on a project to basically "retrofit" a lot of useful modern web pages and other web services for use in ancient browsers (I am doing most of my testing in Netscape Navigator 4.04) in order to make older computers and software more useful for modern tasks. For web I am...

Would I need to install a separate floppy card or something in order to use both at the same time?

Hi all, I recently got a Floppy Emu for my Apple IIGS and I have been having issues with boot order. I am using the floppy emu in smart port (hard drive) mode. So basically what I have been seeing is that if I plug the floppy emu directly into the floppy port then it will boot up just fine, but...

cool, maybe I can find a sample somewhere. I was thinking 320 sounds a bit big too anyway. I remember the quicktime videos I streamed from Apple's website back in 1998/99 online were much smaller and grainier than that.

I know this sounds crazy. I want to be able to convert mp4/flv videos to an old codec/format that is supported by quicktime 3.0 on a 68k macintosh. It doesn't have to run super smoothly, I just want semi-not-choppy video and sound. In order to get some idea, I have opened a video made during...

Yep... It's a ROM 01 and that's exactly what I did. Slot 2 to "Your Card" and plugged into the modem port. No go. It just goes straight to "Check startup disk."

We have a 3d printer at work. I wish he would have been nice and just uploaded the model so that I can print it myself... I suppose I could go through the trouble of learning CAD so that I can design the gear myself, but that's a pretty big time investment.

That's exactly what I tried, haha. I used the Asante Localtalk to Ethernet bridge and connected it to a raspberry pi configured with a2server to netboot. I even connected to it with a powerbook 3400c and was able to access the file server. I then used the Powerbook 3400c as a localtalk to...

Yeah I actually was able to convert them to DiskCopy format by loading them up as disk drives in Basilisk and then generating DiskCopy disk images from them there. Thanks for finding those replacement gears. While they are cheaper than some of the others I have found, I still have a hard time...

Yeah that is what I was thinking. I figure as much time as I spend on these machines, and also considering how many I use and for which data transfer is virtually impossible due to the 800k limitation, maybe I ought to just save money and cough up the dough.

So the drivers for 5.0.2 and earlier won't work for that? I do have plenty of RAM, but I would have to find some way of getting 6.0.1 on 800k prodos floppies... I don't have a cable for adtpro. I guess I could write them from my lc iii.

I took one of them apart and saw that the teeth had been broken off of the second gear on the eject mechanism. That particular one was apparently made of a more brittle plastic than the others. I can still  use the floppy drives, it is just a pain because I have to stick a pin into it in order...

Is there a better solution for mass storage? That is all I am really after, mass storage. My floppy drives don't work that well. They won't eject. As of right now I was able to format the SD card and even copy System 5.0.2 over to it and started booting from it. But for some reason the SCSI...

I got it working! Apparently I was using the wrong cable. I have two din8 serial cables, one of them works, one doesn't. The one that doesn't has two arrows on the end pointing in opposite directions. The one that does just has one arrow pointing toward the end of the cable. Weird...

Cool, so all I have to do is configure a few 32mb volumes, then initialize them from my LC III, and then I should be able to just format it in ProDos from my GS using Copy II plus right?

So then is it just a matter of writing the image directly to the SD card? I don't have to worry about initialization or partitioning?
