Thanks for the reminder, Unkown_K.    Yonks ago, I helped change a lab of ISA bus PCs with 3C509 NICs to PCI bus PCs with the 3Com 10/100 card which normally worked (not the 3C590). We thought it was a safe move. It had worked previously.   Using a 16 bit DOS TCP/IP stack, we re-imaged the new...

Install System 7.x from floppies? You only need to do this once or twice. Copy the disk images onto a Zip drive or external hard disk. Boot the Mac from floppy disk and run MountImage. Or boot from the Network Access Disk and connect to an AppleShare volume hosting the OS disk images.

Unlike some other NICs*, 10 Mbps utp or thinwire AAUI transceivers cannot be configured by the host Mac. They just work (or not work) out of the box. So you have to look at what the hub or switch can do to help you.  Hubs or bridges do not manage Ethernet traffic. The device has no IP address...

It really depends on the software and hardware that you wish to add to the basic machine. There are many graphics cards which will work well with System 7.1.x or 7.5.x, perhaps not 7.6.x. Ditto for image grabbers, graphics accelerators etc. 7.6.1 is usually more stable, but it might be...

Farallon also made some unconventional Ethernet devices (expansion cards and AAUI transceivers) branded EtherWave. These have two utp connectors and are designed to be  daisy chained, with a maximum of eight devices on a chain. This is way from standard Ethernet and best avoided except for...

This sounds like SCSI voodoo.  Do you have a terminator on the EN/SC? A cheap passive terminator will be fine. Have you tested the SCSI 25 pin <> 50 pin cable with any other device? Install SCSI Probe or similar to identify which SCSI IDs are in use (the internal drive may have a...

Err. Localizer or Localiser. It will sort out your hash and pound signs.

Kensington made the Turbo Mouse from 1986 for the original Macs and for the Apple II (presumably with mouse card). Features include two buttons for left and right handed use, and a pass through port for a conventional mouse. A redesign appeared in 1988 which added multibutton functionality, with...

E-Machines made a combo Ethernet and graphics card for the SE/30. Driver support for the ColorLink family was limited (nothing after System 7.5.x) and probably no Open Transport. Other manufacturers may have made them too (RasterOps?) Any Ethernet card will be fast enough, owing to the limited...

Try printing from local host (127.0.0.1). I don't think that you have followed the argument.

My Apple IIe box has labels telling me that it shipped via the Netherlands, where Apple had their European offices at the time. Later Apple imports had licence agreements in the Dutch language (not sure about Apple II family or pre-1984 without crawling in the attic). Maybe Flemish Belgians...

Older colour laser printers are inadequate for photo printing -- capable enough for charts, line drawings, paint art etc. Modern printers (last six years, possibly older) can reproduce photos but may be expensive. The reason I assembled the instructions...

Don't give up with old batteries. The Portable uses a lead acid battery, which can be exercised, possibly to rejuvenation. Boaters know people who have battery exercisers which can fix a battery. If sulphination kicks in, it is not necessarily a death sentence.

Before all of that is the Apple Answer Book QA. It has a beige cover, blue text with white knock outs. Content is Apple II and III. It's a three punch hole publication. The Apple Answer notes that I own mostly date to 1984. My Apple Service Tech Procedures (072-0228) is a later volume (April...

Stop fretting. System 7.1 is installed on your PowerBook. That's what you are running: System 7.1. That's what it says when you ask "About..." After that, you installed a printer driver package. The package upgraded the Finder to a Scriptable Finder, Finder 7.5.x. The Finder is a program...

"Development workflow" and "architecture" and waffle about 'the whole system that make a "present but unsupported" dropbox client unsuitable'. This is painful English language, explains nothing and creates grumpy customers. If a supplier proposes to dump excrement on my head, I'd like to read it...

From what I can see, the board looks like the one in my ITT 2020. The layout is the same overall as a Europlus with detail differences (silkscreen and pin connectors). The power supply looks like mine which has a captive mains lead (no IEC mains connector). The RAM chips on my board all have...

You're right, snuci. Under load, the power supply measures ~15V AC -- over the back of the supply connector. My board appears to be a little older than yours but the layout is the same. The chip (EPROM?) labelled SC/SCT on yours is labelled Focus on mine. I also have Compatibility Systems...

12V DC, centre negative. I tested with the probes in both directions and it definitely appeared as DC.

According to a couple of educational price lists (Oct 1990, Feb 1991), the Classic was sold without hard disk.
