    unidentified smoky smell from Mac 512K

    Have you adjusted the voltages? If not, you may have a problem waiting to happen. It's entirely possible some component was stressed after being turned on for the first time and was pushed to the breaking point. This or other parts may fail in short order, but if your voltages are out of whack...

    The M0001 Registry

    I think there's no question about it if this article is accurate: http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/11/08/04/inside_icloud_apples_new_web_services_for_ios_and_mac_os_x_lion.html Basically Apple is abandoning personal web hosting. This explains the lack of development for iWeb. Surely then...

    The M0001 Registry

    No necromancy, that's why this thread is here, for periodic updates. Have no idea what happened. I think it had something to do with changes Apple made to iWeb, and simultaneous cancellation of services of my old ISP web-disk space this Summer. But fixed now. (I think). God knows what's going...

    Swapping motherboards from Se/30 to plus case

    The Plus bezel will not fit flush on the SE/30 case, mainly at the bottom indented base "pedestal" where the Plus angles backward and the SE is straight in line with the "pleated" skirt. This prevents the upper case from fitting flush. I have never tried to secure the SE chassis to the Plus...

    Macintosh Plus Keyboard M0110A security device / lock

    Exactly, take the keyboard apart and carefully push it through the slot. You may need to help pry the plastic from around the base, but be careful as it is more brittle now and can be easily broken if forced too far.

    Resurrecting a Mac TV

    Yes I believe I was using 7.3 or later. 7.1 requires a custom driver which I believe later OS did away with. The Mac TV came after the CC, so perhaps this is the issue.nWhen u feel like playing someday, try booting the CC off an external SCSi with a later OS installed and the TV board installed...

    Resurrecting a Mac TV

    what do u hope to pick up with an antenna? There's nothing being broadcast on those frequencies anymore (well almost nothing). You need to plug it into a digital converter or cable box to recieve anything. FYI, if u put the logic board into a Color Classic, it will function the same, and for...

    Mac Bottom HDD?

    Naw that's the SCSI model. Completely incompatible with the original serial model being discussed here. I do have all the software for the SCSI model.

    Mac Bottom HDD?

    Yup. That's what mine looks like, except I have a Miniscribe drive from 1987. This is the site I set up, which may give you a bit more perspective on the device as there is so little information on the web otherwise. To date I have received one response from it, yielding the SCSI version of the...

    Mac Bottom HDD?

    I feel your pain. viewtopic.php?f=7&t=3919 I have even been in touch with the guy who wrote the driver, and even he doesn't have a copy anymore. I have set up a website in hopes that someone will stumble across it and send me the driver. Came close once.

    Mac Plus: Restoration

    Patience young Jedi. I am still surprised why this link is some kind of treasured Eater Egg in this site. Other than having been posted literally dozens of times in related threads (which I assume you did not search), I know of no way to find this otherwise. http://68kmla.org/files/ I am...

    Mac Plus: Restoration

    I'm not really seeing any obvious problems here. If you're talking about the corrosion on the bottom lower corner of the PSU, then that's a non-starter. Strictly a grounding point. Should not affect operation in the manner you describe. You are best to go through Dr. Tom Lee's excellent...

    Original ROMs

    You are remembering correctly Byrd. The 128K & 512K were essentially identical except for RAM. The 512Ke was a 512K with a Plus ROM (the Plus being essentially being identical to a 128K except for more RAM and built-in SCSI hardware). A few folks on here have even put a Plus ROM in a 128K to...

    Macintosh ED Photos

    I would have expected the 128K Badge to have been replaced as well. But who knows what happened. Perhaps the original user asked for it not to be replaced, or kept the 128K Badge and later replaced it themselves on a whim or for nostalgia, or whoever sold it swapped the badge in an attempt to...

    Macintosh ED Photos

    Not following what you are saying exactly ... Are there questions in your post? The "official" Apple upgrade from 128K to 512k came with a new rear case badge and agency label, in addition to the motherboard. In some cases the only way to tell you had an upgrade done was to look at the serial...

    My Compact Mac Collection is Finally Complete

    I'm with Scott here. Even if you exclude the foreign sold models, incremental revisions (ROM revs., etc.), and minor badging changes (ED, FDHD, etc.), at a minimum you still need to add the 512Ke. While I understand the space issue, to have a truly complete North American collection, you need...

    Patiently Awaiting the Arrival of My CC

    With the stock board, a SCSI EN/SC adapter is your best bet. You can also use AppleTalk with an Ethernet bridge, but it will be considerably slower. You would be better off upgrading the logic board at some point if you really intend to use the CC in any practical way. As you know, it is one of...

    Unhappy Macintosh 128k, Thick vertical lines

    I too have a 128K which has a 342-0220-A/0221 with no letter - however, it does say "REV A" next to the copyright date. It happens to be on my early 13th week, completely original, unaltered 128K. So this is either a mixed ROM set, reflecting an early revision in the product cycle, or an early...

    Parting out a badly yellowed 512k to save a 128

    Not exactly. You can put a 128K on an Appletalk network, but about the most it can do is print.
