I just acquired a Mac 128k today, complete with original keyboard and mouse. The Mac works great, but the keyboard has an issue where single types don't generate characters, pressing and holding works half the time but generates too many characters, and capital letters barely work. The mouse...

As I understand it, OT requires a 68030. It seems a shame that a fully loaded Mac II with a 68851 and 20 MB of RAM would fall short of the requirements. I've always found MacTCP to be a hassle to set up, and I enjoy the automatic DHCP OT provides. Anyone here ever get OT to work on a 68020?

I'm installing the 68851, so I'm wondering if that's enough for more than 8 MB. Does it also require the FDHD kit?

I downloaded Mac OS 7.5.3 from Macintosh Garden, and it's in a zip file. I tried unpacking it with StuffIt 5.5, ZipIt, and MacZip. With each method, I was unable to mount the images in Disk Copy 6.1.3. I couldn't drag the images onto the Disk Copy window, and when I tried to use the Image menu...

I was able to jumpstart it and get the arpeggio death chime, but then it suddenly switched off. No pop, no burning smell, no magic smoke, simply off. After that, no amount of jumpstarting the first pin of the power supply (white wire) will power the machine on. I checked and there are no scorch...

I just got my Mac II to fire up, but now I need to diagnose it due to getting a death chime. The only Mac monitor I have supports a fixed rate of 832 x 624. The original Macintosh II Video Card installed has all VRAM sockets filled, so my understanding is that it supports 8-bit color at 640 x...

I'm attempting to test a Macintosh II that I'm about to begin working on. When I use my half double A battery to attempt a jumpstart by touching the end white wire pin and the case metal, all I get is a quick fan spin, a flicker, and the speaker making the usual popping sound when power is...

I just acquired a beautiful Rodime 20 Plus External hard drive with an RO652 disk drive, and for the most part, it works wonderfully. However, it has a strange quirk that neither the acts of reinstalling System 6 nor initializing the drive fix. Whenever I boot up, whether from floppy or hard...

If this is the wrong topic section, my apologies. This display did come with a Quadra, so it's my best guess. I was wondering if I could use my Macintosh 16" Color Display on my much newer Power Mac G4 if I use an Apple DB15 to VGA adapter in conjunction with a DB15 female-to-female gender...

Every time I try to boot from my LC 520's internal SCSI hard drive bay, it hangs. My external SCSI drive never fails to fully boot, however. I have also swapped the drives and the same thing happens, so I'm led to believe it's the internal hard drive bay itself. All pins are intact, unbent and...

Is it normal for my Dual 500 Gigabit Ethernet to get really hot during sleep mode? Specifically, the chip on the board with the tiny passive heatsink and the power supply. If it is normal, is it still bad for my PowerMac?
