Sorry for the double post. Found out this thing has a Mobius 030 accelerator card with a Motorola 68030 processor... bringing it on-par with the SE/30 spec-wise. Apparently there's also the option to add an external monitor to this thing, which may be what the port on the back is for. Anyone...

Finally made it back from classes/work to sit down and play around some more with the "SuperSE." This thing is loaded with old software and files... I'll have to make a backup and make sure none are missing from Macintosh Garden/Macintosh Repository/etc. There is some slight screen burn-in on...

January has been a superb month for my collection, and it's not over. Tomorrow I'm making the ~60-mile journey over into Kansas to pick up a PowerBook Duo 270c, details to come tomorrow night when I return. Earlier this month, I acquired an Apple ImageWriter II for my Macintosh Classic/SE to...

My fear is the lack of replacement drives, since I know the internal hard drive may or may not work. It would be awesome if you're able to get the ardscsino to work.

I've only recapped one of my two current compact Macs so far, the 1991 Macintosh Classic. Fellow 68kMLA member JRL recapped the logic board, and Thomas at @Amiga of Rochester recapped the analog board. I *believe* Jeff used tantalum caps on the logic board, while the analog board obviously uses...

First, sorry for the double post. Your post didn't appear until after I replied to maceffects. Here's the link to the Cinema HD Display listing. DVI? https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/769947730263016/

That's what I'm afraid of, as I know Macs from that time period (mid-90s) are notorious for having super brittle plastics. Any tips on opening it? Would it be fine to ship the entire machine when recapping so my "recap expert" has a machine he can test with? I'm looking to pick the machine up...

Heard back from the seller. Thankfully, it's still available. Now I'm working on setting up a time to meet to pick it up. I will try to avoid turning it on until I get it recapped. How hard is it to remove the logic board from the Duo 270c? As previously mentioned in another thread, my track...

I messaged the seller a couple days ago and no response. I think the Duo 270c would be the perfect addition to my collection... let's just hope they still have it. :)

A couple days ago, I posted this PowerBook Duo 270c for sale somewhat locally (about 60 miles away) for $75. My current Mac collection consists of 68000-powered compact Macs, and I'd like to get into something with a little bit more power and a color display. Therefore, the Duo 270c has captured...

Thanks for the tip. After doing that, the ImageWriter II worked perfectly with the SE. It took me a minute to figure out how to properly configure the PageMaker print settings, but after that it was printing just fine. Can the ImageWriter II print on envelopes?

Apple printers are a world I'm not too familiar with, so I'd like some advice on setting it up and maintaining it. Yesterday I received an Apple ImageWriter II from a fellow 68kMLA member. The printer works fine with my 1991 Macintosh Classic, which already had the ImageWriter driver installed...

Saw this on reddit (u/gf99b... mentioned I didn't see it) and decided to also chime in here. That machine is in immaculate condition and you did a pretty good job at getting it working again. As for the FloppyEmu, I highly recommend getting one to anyone who owns a vintage Mac. While you won't...

My 1988 Macintosh SE still has its original Varta PRAM battery installed, which works fine and keeps the date/time almost perfectly. Despite the PRAM battery working, I'd rather not chance having it rupture one day and taking out the logic board. Unlike in my Classic, this battery is soldered...

If you (OP) don't have a FloppyEmu, I would suggest getting the $140 "bundle" if you can. The acrylic case looks pretty snazzy and makes it easier to carry, and the microSD card already comes with a lot of software and utilities already installed. There are included 20 MB (?) and 100 MB volumes...

Using a FloppyEmu, you can create a hard drive (HD-20) emulation volume (disk image) on the microSD card and load the files into volume that via Basilisk II or Mini vMac (using the ImportFl utility.) I've done this a few times and it has worked quite well for transferring files, including large...

Sorry for the triple post. I removed the memory expansion card, plugged in the machine, turned it on, and... it turned on! Chimed and proceeded to boot into 6.0.7, as usual. For further testing, I placed the memory expansion card back into the machine - making sure it was firmly in the socket...

Here's the video showing the graphic problems in Glider and Crystal Quest.

I found the error code listing page last night shortly after posting this. (I've also posted about this on a FB group and got lots of responses.) Unfortunately, I came to the same conclusion - something's wrong with the memory.  :cry: Tonight I'm going to remove the memory expansion card to...

Ever since I've had the analog board in my 1991 Macintosh Classic recapped, it's been running great. Until tonight, that is. Earlier this evening I was playing around with my FloppyEmu when the Mac gave me a "Sad Mac" error after having to restart the machine. (Sometimes I have to do a hard...
