Yeah, I know that one time I got my LCD to kind of work (never could get it to work again, it was some kind of fluke), when I clicked 256 color, the sync went nuts and I had to click blindly to get it back down to 16 and sync back up. It seems like it's selecting a different refresh rate to me...

WooHoo! The 14" Color Plus display works. Came up just fine in Grey scale mode, 16 color works excellent. 256 color the screen gets dim and the Apple logo in the top left has some distorted strange colors. So I'm thinking either the monitor or the machine in general doesn't want to run in 256...

What's NS? It doesn't say what NS stands for anywhere on that page.

So this 14" monitor I just bought isn't going to work with my IIci? 

Excellent, thanks!

I'm inclined to put the newest version of macOS I can get my hands on, onto this IIci. But what version is the best for this hardware? It had 7.0.1 on it, I have, thanks to FloppyEmu, that version, 7.1.3, and 7.5.1 if I recall correctly. I'm guessing I need a PPC to run 8 or newer? But anyways...

I'd guess that the reason it worked with a CRT 20 years ago is that was around "peak" CRT era. The PC monitors had gotten really nice by the end of the 90's, with only a few more years left to go before they were obsolete. Most any 17"+ could run at 75hz, especially at 1152xsomething or less...

No worries. I went ahead and ordered an Apple Color Plus 14" CRT on eBay. Known good and comes in the original box. I don't mind having a period correct display sitting on top of this thing. :)

Alright. What a half working machine I have. So to get the video to work on my most compatible monitor, I turn it on with 2,3,6,7, and then switch to 2,4,6,7 and hit reset. At which point I saw a mouse cursor and the disk with the question mark.I'd already had to give the hard drive open heart...

Ahhh, 2,4,6,7 got me a distorted grey screen. I'm on the right track. Going to go back through my pile of monitors again. Thanks!

Hey guys. Got my recently restored Mac IIci back together. New caps and a new power supply in it. The PRAM battery hadn't leaked, amazingly enough, though the caps had. Got that all cleaned up while I was replacing the caps. I think it was all successful. The chime chimes, and after a suitable...

Yeah, just can't print banners on modern computers. :)

I created a shared project with the capacitors I just ordered for my IIci: https://www.mouser.com/ProjectManager/ProjectDetail.aspx?AccessID=af22e6756c I found a thread with a list of the capacitors that are supposed to be inside my Astec power supply, but they didn't match up with what was...

I picked up this SE about 2 months ago now. Really good condition, works a treat. Even came with an external hard drive. I picked it up locally, came in it's original box even. Well one of the things I really wanted to be able to do with it was to be able to print the cards and banners I used to...
