Isn't there a story on folklore.org about it actually being slaved to a Lisa that was doing the heavy lifting?

@oP: P400 and P405 were LC IIs.  68030@16MHz Still a sweet deal! Do other Macs work on that MultiSync?  When in doubt recap, but it could be a monitor issue too.

Looks like lots of blank RAM chip spots on that top board.  How high can it go if you start soldering in chips? If you decide to solder in more RAM don't pick something boring like 2.5M or 4M, go for 3M or 3.25M just to have an "only one" :)

I would go by file sizes.  If the installer and Vol.1 both fit on one floppy I'd expect that to be what disk 1 originally looked like.  If Vol.1 is 1.4M all by itself, then it probably was its own disk.

Elfen: I think the question isn't about Performas or their software in general, but the specific software package that was exclusive to the Performa 410.  One of the main things that differentiated the P410 from the other LC II based Performas (P400, P405, and P430) was the software titles with...

As long as you don't stick your tongue up under the red suction-cup looking thing on the back, you should be fine.  To be perfectly sure, you could find the metal pipe that brings water into your home and ground to that.  It will definitely be "to earth." Get a socket tester and see if your...

How do you put (actual) Plus ROMs in a 512K to make it a 512Ke then?

Could you also strap on 4M of RAM to max out sub-Plus Macs?

I seem to remember someone saying the pins on the Lisa's CRT match those on the compact Macs.  So theoretically you could take all the innards of a compact Mac, wedge them in there, and connect them to the Lisa's CRT.  What you have there is an excellent candidate for a 12" Mac Plus/SE/SE30.  It...

They make great brains for MAME machines.  Finding the DVI->Composite video adapters is the hard part. ;)

I think the signals are just reversed except for the additional brightness. If you could find the right female and male Molex connectors you could probably make an adaptor and see what happens!

The Logical Journey of the Zoombinis. Looks like the original developers are remaking it for iPad, but they are trying to "update" the graphics, soundtrack, etc.  I wish they'd leave it alone.  It is/was charming as is/was. The main use my G4 MDD gets these days is running Zoombinis for my...

With CCs any logic board from a 520 or 550 (or MacTV) is plug and play.  If you can find a known good one of those before you get your stock LB capped, you can determine what else might be wrong. The ABs on those don't have caps that are any younger or sturdier than the LBs'.  If you want it to...

Not to make anyone feel old, but 1990 was 24 years ago :(

It's amazing how much room the 8 SIMM slots took up on an SE/30 board.  Get rid of 6 of them, and the PDS, and take into account 5 years of making things smaller, and the Classic II board makes sense.  It really drives home how low end these machines were in the product line. I think Uniserver...

Or consider ordering an entire S-Video extension cable.

Woohoo! GraphicConverter is as nice as PS in my opinion. There are still batch jobs I prefer to do with GC.

Yeah, the reason Photoshop was set to PNG is that's my default setting for internal web stuff at work. Size isn't the primary concern, in that case, so I go for the quality. I guess I could use TIFFs or some other uncompressed bitmap type, but I'd have to use plug-ins for the browsers to view...

Too big :( I could do 4" or 8 7/8" but not both.

Because I'm dumb. :o) Didn't think of it, but it's pretty obvious now. Thanks! It's even a 40-lead cable, so a common IDE 40-pin head will be perfect. There's one problem partially solved! I'll try the LC PS first, but the 610 is a good candidate! I'll have to look up dimensions... PNG...
