I have a lot of old Apple/Macintosh equipment with a lot of broken plastic tabs. Is there any reliable method for gluing/welding model pieces? Any particular glue that bonds really well with the plastic? I'd love to learn about experiences from others. For myself, I can say that Testors brand...

I really appreciate the solution. Looks like I'll be getting a new RAM chip soon! I'll report back once I've installed it.

Thanks for the tips, I am going to try out the official apple RAM module I have at my parents' place later to see if my Applied Engineering GS-RAM is compatible with DMA. Keep in mind that it is just a little over 1MB of ram though. Speaking of which, I tried to boot just using the logic board...

No, I do have an applied engineering ram card. Around 1mb.

Tried a million things and eventually guessed my way to victory. I turned off Direct Memory Access for the Sandwich II card by putting the no 1 dip switch in the open position. Any guesses as to why this worked? The only other card I have installed is Uethernet II.

Tried 31MB and 30MB partitions, and got the same exact error. Any other possible causes?

How big was the drive you ended up using? I switched to an 80mb drive and got the exact same error.

Hello all! I just got a nice new 20SC external SCSI drive and connected it to my Sandwich II Card in the IIGS. The 20SC has been re-fitted with a 512 megabyte SCSI drive from IBM. My Sandwich II is in slot 1. I partitioned the HDD into two partitions using Apple II High Speed SCSI card...

Sorry for the late update. I basically destroyed the plastic getting it open. Still not entirely sure if there is a proper way. If someone has a good fix tutorial for these it would be appreciated!

I can confirm. Just peeled off the label and there were no screws under there. What tool did you use to get it open?

I am trying to open up an old PowerBook 500 series AC adapter to recap it. However I can't find any instructions online of how to open one. Has anybody opened up one before? Are there any screws under the sticker need to undo first, or should I just start trying to ply the plastic open at the...

Thanks for the tip. I tried configuring manually. I entered a static IP in the IP field. I entered my router IP in the "router" field and I entered 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 as my DNS (Google DNS.) However, the same issue still seems to be happening. Am I missing something? Should I try different...

I am having trouble getting my LC II to connect to the internet. I am trying to connect directly via ethernet using an Asante MCiLC network card. I've installed all relevant drivers, and I am using Internet Explorer 4.0.1. I am using System 7.5.5. When I connect my Ethernet cable directly from...

Gerry, thanks for your input! After freezing the hard drive did start making a more promising noise than before, but the LC II failed to recognize it. I opened the hard drive up for one last try by following some instructions on YouTube, but I seem to have made the situation worse now. Looks...

The photo should be view-able now. I had my permissions set to private and now I've changed them to public. Feel free to take a look and tell me what you think!

I've opened up my drive, and it looks a lot different than the drive shown in the wiki. See the below photo of my drive: Is this drive the auto-inject type? Is there a tutorial for cleaning this type of drive? Thanks!

Gerry, Thanks for the idea! I have a couple questions: How long should I leave the hard drive in the freezer for? Should I wait for the hard drive to thaw for a while after removing it from the freezer? Or should I put it in the computer right after it comes out of the freezer? Thanks for...

On Macintosh computers with a thin disc slot (such as the LC II,) do disks need to be inserted in a special way? There seems to be no way for me to insert the disc fully into the drive without using a second disk as a kind of ram to seat the disc fully in the drive. Is there something wrong with...

Well, I was able to install Lido 7 to a floppy disc on my LC II and get it running. After Lido 7 scanned my machine, it came back to me with the following two errors: "Unable to read drive Capacity!" followed by "OSErr = 5 Bad SCSI Command: phase error." The "OSErr = 5" window pops up twice for...

Thanks for the response! Where would the best place to download an .img for Lido or SilverLining be? I've noticed a lot of Macintosh disk images that I find online are contained in .sit files, which my modern-day PC that I'm using can't handle. Thanks for your help!
