Maybe one of the files here will work: ftp://ftp.apple.asimov.net/pub/apple_II/images/games/adventure/infocom/zork_1/

It really depends upon what you want to do. If you are doing anything that is CPU intensive (e.g. graphics) then a cache card should make a significant difference. Otherwise, I wouldn't worry about it too much. After all, why spend a lot of money on a model that's on its last legs. (The IIci...

Actually, figuring out how to convert and optimize PDF files for older machines would be quite useful since a lot of people face these issues to varying degrees. For example, many newer 68k Macs choke on PDF files because they can only run Acrobat 3. Even computers that can run more recent...

Last I heard, Apple II prices are starting to get up there. But you're right, the missing keycap is a cosmetic problem at the very least and a functional problem at worst. (IIRC, the missing keycap is the reset key. Which is fine if the key still works, since you don't exactly use it while...

Come on folks. If you want to look at naked pics of Macs, keep it to the IIsi or earlier, because it's morally wrong to look at topless pics of 11 year olds. Sheesh. }:)

No. An Apple Macintosh Plus.

Welcome aboard. I can't remember my first encounter with a Mac, but I remember the first Mac that tried to kill me. :)

Unfortunately, our society (at least in Canada and the U.S.) faces sophisticated issues in a very unsophisticated democratic framework. In the Canadian framework, parties hold all of the power over the representatives, even though we do vote for representatives. So there are essentially four...

Copyright has purposes other than profit. Some people do not want their work disseminated, or only want it distributed under particular terms. Technically, you're correct. But in practice, Unknown_K is correct. At the rate that things are going, copyright law is being extended more quickly...

I'm not a huge fan of pirating software, even vintage software. But the sad fact is that these forums would fade into oblivion if a heavy-handed approach was taken. Fewer people would be interested in coming here because very few people would have the software to play with, and even fewer...

My favourite would be the SE/30. Blazingly fast, has an FPU, accepts a respectable amount of RAM, runs NetBSD, runs System 6. The Colour Classic is a nice machine, but the colour screen is too small for most of the applications that need colour.

It's not just monitors that you have to concern yourself about. And even working monitors will be hard to deal with since most people won't accept just any CRT these days. Things like 15" and smaller CRTs are not going to have takers. Even 17" CRTs will be tough to give away. You'll probably...

Just try to establish relationships with people who will sell you old gear on the cheap. Believe it or not, a lot of people just want to get rid of this stuff and if you can have some sort of mutal understanding that snags you resalable stuff, that's great. Being a computer recycler may or may...

Yeah, but we're saving them! We're making the world safer for 68k Mac-kind! We're not asking for charity! We're being charitable! }:)

Definitely System 7.1. Later versions seemed to be the compilation of more and more features that were useful to fewer and fewer people, with no real breakthroughs like preemtive multitasking or memory protection to ensure that software worked better. System 7.1 also worked with a huge range...

1. You do not need a pram battery for the display to work on an SE. 2. You can try the SE's mainboard in your working SE/30. 3. I'm fairly certain that you can use the SE/30 analog board with the SE picture tube and mainboard to see if the analog board is the problem. 4. The analog board is...

Not only that, but we should not even be exposing people to the idea of Bob if we want to make a better world.

Welcome aboard. That's a nice range of Apple history that you have there. Almost two decades worth! Though I did get a bit of a chuckle to see the Mac II combined with the Apple IIs. :) Granted, I guess that a System 6 Mac is closer in spirit to the Apple II than it is to a G3. (By that...

Hum, I wonder if that explains my experiences with NetBSD. I was perfectly happy with NetBSD on my SE/30 and Q950. But when I tried in on a Q660AV, I found it mind-bogglingly slow. Until now, I always assumed that it was due to the X server trying to deal with a higher resolution display at a...

You can't recover it, but you may be able to change it. Now I can't give specific advice, because I'm not familiar with Debian on the 68k. But you should be able to tell the bootloader which runlevel you want to startup the system in. Try runlevel 1, single user mode. Hopefully you'll get...
