wow. Thanks for posting that. A couple of thoughts: I was surprised to see the custom plaque was 3D. From all the pictures i've seen, I always assumed it was printed. The colored logos on the keyboard and mouse were intended early on, but according to Folklore, were cut for cost and Apple...

ralphw, yes there were a number of SCSI conversion kits, even one by Personal Peripheral Comouter Corp. actually endorsed by Apple, that was quite popular, based on the MacBottom interface (which some say the HD20 was based on). But I'm not sure that helps us. I posted a similar article about...

That sounds right. However, even though the image can be taken to an vintage Mac to write actual floppies, I am most eager to eventually be able to do it using Kryoflux hardware, without the need to maintain an intermediary Mac just to make floppies for my Pre-SuperDrive compacts.

JDW didn't mean to confuse you. I was simply responding to the fact that the whole point of Kryoflux was that it used contemporary hardware and software to image vintage Mac disks, without the need for old equipment. So no, you are not wrong. GCR does not matter to the end user, however it...

Hence the "without an old Mac" part :beige: As has been discussed here in the past, trying to adapt an Apple GCR DD drive to operate via USB would be just about futile, and would negate the need for Kryoflux.

And this board has come up before ... It just looks like now it's fully functional with OS X & Linux. viewtopic.php?f=16&t=12852

I have a number of questions too which I posted over on the LEM Google forum to the knowledgable Kieron Wilkinson. Specifically the kryoflux site specifies DOS 400/800K disks, NOT MFS or HFS, thought I don't know why that would make a difference since they are both GCR. But, he assures me he has...

Was posted in the lounge by Gary_W ... should be here. viewtopic.php?f=2&t=15293 GREAT NEWS!

Post your manufacture dates Byrd. After reading Shred's description of the transformer box, it leads me to speculate that Europe got all the 240V 128Ks they were able to produce as it was likely a stronger market for Apple, and in order to get the Mac to Australia at all, Apple chose to ship the...

Wow. That's the first I've ever heard of this! Hard to believe it would have been assigned a separate model number, since it would be 100% identical to the 120V US M0001 128K. An external converter wouldn't warrant a different model number on the main unit, or a 220V agency label. If this...

Now the shoe is on the other foot ... a Macintosh 128K, M0001 P from down-under showing up in the US eBay listings! Only $170 Australian to ship to the US!! Now that's a bargain!! :beige: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220733657193 Anybody know if the convertible...

While not part of the original box, here's an original MacTerminal set from 1984 which was sold alongside the 128Ks. As usual nice detailed photos from danapplemacman. Now you too can get your 128K onto an obsolete telenet or BBS for only $100! :beige...

My appologies if you misunderstood my point ... However, you have on other threads made something of a point that you are doing all of this on a 512K, even splitting hairs over calling it a 512K instead of what it actually was, a 512Ke with 1MB upgrade. So again, my appologies if I am not...

Those did not ship with any Mac. They are sales and training tools. "Macintosh or Windows" is obviously meant to be screened BEFORE a person buys a Mac. So bottom line, all guided tours shipped with a Mac are software based meant to be run on the Mac itself. The only exception being the audio...

I have never seen a VHS tape that shipped with a Mac. A promotional VHS is one thing. An instructional VHS obtained from a re-seller makes sense too. But shipped in the computer case? Definitely not by 1995 when CD-ROMs were standard. Every Mac I have from 1990s has either a CD-ROM guided tour...

That may be in terms of a video demonstration, but it also would have disenfranchised the user from the experience. Having the demo on the Mac actively engages the user, which Jobs knew was key to marketing any new product. Also, most people I know toss such things aside as a video has nothing...

It's a prototype. Never went into production. Lots of pictures online of prototypes used in marketing materials which had to be shot prior to the product being finalized. This is typical of any industry. My guess is this particular plug was designed to simplify the user experience by making it...

Hahahahahaha ... This was January 1984. There were still two major platforms, Beta & VHS, The cost of blank cassettes were as much as a buying a movie on DVD today, and less than a third of the country owned a VCR - which were quite expensive, including those who could afford frivolous...

And here's the entire tape - http://www.youtube.com/user/Mac128DOTcom

Mactjaap - I think you have proven beyond a shadow of a doubt, that while it is possible to do this on a 512Ke, it is not practical to do so. While a noble experiment, it is just one more endorsement that even the 512Ke was still too limited to survive much longer than it actually did.
