Yep bad flyback. I replaced the one on mine many moons ago. I wrote up a post about it, however it was lost in one of the forum crashes. I bought replacement flyback on ebay and IIRC it was about $20 plus shipping. If you do a search you may be able to find some of my posts about it. The...

For those interested my notes so far. I think I am going to go buy a printer, because I hate reading on the computer. Can't scribble notes on the pages that way. :-D http://www.downloads.reactivemicro.com/Public/Users/David_Craig/AppleIWMSpec1982.pdf (IWM notes)...

I've done some embedded systems work before. In college my senor project was a 4'x2' display that showed the internal data flow of the pipe line of a MIPS process. I designed the controller for the nearly 500 LEDs that were on the display. It was a PIC that communicated with an IBM PC over...

Yes I do, but is one of those cheap Radio Shack Scope Pens. I think it only goes to 2MHz, but that should work for this. I think I am going to pick up on those USB Logic Analyzers. They are fairly inexpensive, I have found a couple for about $150. Right now I am in the information gathering stage.

I took a look at Inside Macintosh. It did some useful information, but it mostly described the software interface to the disk controller. I am looking for information on the interface between the disk controller and the disk drive. Really the thing is that I don't have a bloody clue how you...

Yeah I've never interfaced to any sort of storage device before. So I really have no idea what data and commands the drive expects. So really if I could figure out how any floppy works that would be a good start.

I have started work on a project to emulate the floppy drive used in the original Macintosh. My goal is a device which is plug compatible with the Apple external 400KB floppy drive. It will store images on some sort of modern storage medium. I have been reading up on the Integrated Woz Machine...

No wireless. Less space than a nomad. Lame. Hard to believe that first gen iPods are now 8 years old. Pretty cool score.

Holy thread bump Batman.

I went back today. I think you confused the Classic for a Color Classic. Everything else listed is still there. I would like a classic mac, but I want one I can add ethernet to. I considered the SE, but frankly the case had too much yellowing. I did consider picking up the Apple II monitor and...

If they have a color classic, I think I will make space for that. Actually I have a use for it. I may swing by this afternoon and see if it is still there.

Mostly it is because I have too much clutter in the house and I don't have a good place to set it up. I figured I would let another collector give it a good home, instead of just leaving it sitting on my bowling bag like my Apple IIe. I am encouraged that they are selling vintage equipment again.

Hey when were you there? I was there on Saturday and saw those items. I thought about picking up the Atari ST, but decided against it.

I agree. I love wood paneling, gives the room a nice warm feeling. I hate drywall, makes the room seem so cold and impersonal.

Thanks, guys. Question then comes down to. What I am thinking of that requires hard sectored disks.

So I picked up an Apple IIe with a Disk ][ from the local Goodwill. I want to buy some disks to use, but my google-fu is failing me. I seem to recall that it requires hard sectored disks, but then again my memory is known to contain errors.

Wow long time no see. It is great to see you around again.

I used to have one of those. I had no idea about that pop out port. It was a good monitor. Just wish I had the space for it. That thing was huge.

I do have a personal mainframe. Actually I have 2, but I really only use one of them. As for the second part, I wouldn't know about that. Thats not my bag baby. ;)

Wait a second you are running a Xeon on a i815 motherboard. I though the i815 did not support the Xeon.
