    Apple IIc video cable type?

    I have an Apple IIc, and a power supply is on the way. Now all I need is a composite video cable in order to hook it up to my TV. Just wondering...does it have to be the type with one yellow on each end, or can it be the yellow-red-white kind? -Apostrophe

    Let us mourn the loss of a fellow comrade...

    If it were me, I wouldn't even be asking for an opinion. I'd just fix it. :) -Apostrophe

    So what about the famous Apple ][ series?

    Umm...no, I think I'll pass on that one. ;)

    So what about the famous Apple ][ series?

    I managed to get the case off (I did end up gouging the casing a tiny bit) but after a look at the interior I realized that opening it up again anytime soon won't be necessary. This Apple IIc, despite having a dirty outside, has a pristine interior! Shiny logic board, no signs of leakage...and...

    So what about the famous Apple ][ series?

    Aargh! I got all the screws out, but I can't get the case off! It seems to be sticking near the spacebar, in the center front. Any good ways to get the case off? -Apostrophe

    So what about the famous Apple ][ series?

    Apple IIc just arrived! (Minus the power supply; I'll have to contact the seller to ask about that) It certainly looks yellow, and it's a bit dirty, but otherwise the keys seem great, etc. How do you open the case, though? If I can't run it just yet I can at least make sure all the parts are...

    So what about the famous Apple ][ series?

    Okay, I have another question as well. In my last post in this thread before this one, I asked about the case dimensions of the Apple IIc. But now I have another question. The very first computer I ever used was a Centris 610. (In fact, it's the same one I still have. My sig lists my...

    So what about the famous Apple ][ series?

    Great! Well, I've just received the tracking number from the seller, and it should be here tomorrow or Friday! And the seller mentioned, when I inquired about the power supply, that they haven't found it but were 'looking for it' and that they'll keep me posted. So I hope that they find it...

    Color Classic Troubles- I NEED HELP

    It's the software that's problematic. I know this for two reasons: 1) The floppy disk question mark is very common; operating systems build up tiny bits of data from normal use after a while, and it builds up so much that slower performance and the floppy disk question marks occur. I've seen...

    Color Classic Troubles- I NEED HELP

    Sure, all you need is a system floppy disk. The floppy disk question mark is simply a prompt for a new operating system. OSes do need reinstalling after a while. One of my SE's does the same thing, except that it actually rejects my system disk. Let's hope that this isn't the case with your...

    Just purchased Mac 512k

    Hey, Welcome to the forums! I have learned almost all I know about computers from this forum... I have two Mac SE's and so have a bit of experience dealing with Compact Macs. All I can say for that 512k, make sure you have the power cord, keyboard, and mouse, and you're good to go! Although...

    So what about the famous Apple ][ series?

    Hi, Okay, I just now bought this Apple IIc on eBay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=270330824177 It was listed as 'untested', so I assume that there's still a chance that it works. And if not, I'm sure I won't have any problems fixing it...

    So what about the famous Apple ][ series?

    Okay, great! Thanks! I've just been outbid on a Macintosh Plus that I was going for on eBay, so I decided to go for an Apple IIc instead. (I'm still going for a Plus, of course, but I need to wait until I have more money to back me up on that one.) Apple IIc's sound like great computers, and...

    So what about the famous Apple ][ series?

    Hi, No matter where I look, I keep hearing great things about the Apple ][ series of computers. So what exactly makes them that great? My oldest computer is a Mac SE, so obviously I'm used to the Graphical User Interface. My Dad claims that the Apple ][ was very complicated to use since you...

    Mac 128k pre-ADB?

    No no, I don't have a Mac 128k. I'd certainly like to, but they're just too expensive on eBay. My question was curiosity alone. Besides, as per my sig, I'm looking for a 128k, 512k, or Plus, all three of which I believe have no ADB. In case I do end up getting one, it would be useful to...

    Mac 128k pre-ADB?

    Hi, I remember reading somewhere that the ADB port was introduced a while after the first Macintosh. Sure enough, upon seeing the pictures of the back of a Mac 128k, I see no ADB ports! I looked for info in many places, but they're all vague about what the 128k used prior to ADB. Just out of...

    Floppy drive works, SE doesn't. Capacitors suspected.

    Thanks equill, Both R35 and R36 have been previously removed by whoever expanded the RAM, as per my pics. I'll add this 'resistor clipping' to my ever-expanding knowledge of vintage Macs. ;) -Apostrophe
