Great week in conquests for yours truly: - two Newton: a MP 120 and a MP 2000 upgraded to 2100. Both work perfectly! The 120 lacks its stylus and is in German. I live in Switzerland, and German is a national language. I personnaly speak french, too bad I didn't think of asking the seller...

Sure! I just meant, maybe a PB100 owner around here would have had a similar issue (just as you did), and it required some specific fix, as opposed to the more general mobo cleaning / capacitor changing kind of fix. Absolutely no offense intended, I really appreciate your answering! And I'll...

Thanks for the answer! I first wanted to hear from PB100 owners, since that machine is a bit special, or at least the only one of its kind. But you're right, after all it's a 68k Mac, prone to cap failure as well…

Ok, the title of this topic is maybe not the most original… sorry for that! I recently conquered a "dead" PowerBook 100 which cost me next to nothing. It came with its power brick alone, no floppy drive nor anything else. I found it on a local auction site, and the person who was selling...

I found it on eBay Germany for about €100. The brand was Hami. But right now I can't find any on eBay, sadly.

Nice, thanks! I'll eventually put the Macminitosh in there when I find some time.

Why not! But are there ever "definitive" instructions for any specific mod? I mean, when I started the Macminitosh I spent a lot of time on the web looking for similar projects, and then I begun without any specific instructions. This was a tough challenge for me, since this was the first time...

I did, and as JRL said, all the info can be found in the thread he pointed out. And we also talked about it here: http://68kmla.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=11021. The idea being that heat is the main issue. My "Macminitosh" runs well, but get pretty hot after a while. So as of yet I...

You guys are probably right. I was pretty much certain my memories were wrong, but anyway. I hadn't seen a SE/30 since that one when I got mine a couple of weeks ago, so I thought it was worth asking, just in case. Well, not making a distinction between the classic chime and the Mac II chime...

Minutes after posting I found this, and thought it would fit on topic…

It is, for VideoWorks. And it is fun… Actually I apologize for not getting immediately back to those who asked for my VideoWorks floppy. Lot of work, not enough time to spend in the vintage Mac world. PMs will be sent in the next couple of minutes. But on said floppy were two "examples" files...

Sorry for having letting you guys down a couple of days… I won't rework on my Macminitosh for now. Whenever I find some time to play with my collection as of late, my main goal is to teach myself enough soldering skills in order to do some recapping job. Scoop: one of my LCIII is running just...

Hi all, Did the SE/30 have diferent chimes over time? Mine has the usual "Macintosh II" chime, just as stated in Macracker for that model. But this sounds wrong to my ears, in regard of old memories. Let me explain: years ago, somewhere in the early nineties, friends of mine had a SE/30. Back...

Oops, it's been a while since I last used ResEdit. Indeed I was pretty sure I would find those icons in any System file/suitcase. But I tried on a 7.6.1 install under Basilisk II just before posting here yesterday, and I could find nothing like machines icons. I guess it was a machine specific...

Hi all, For a web project I am working on, I am looking for the complete set of Mac machines icons, as they appeared in the "About this Macintosh" dialog under System 7.x. I guess I could "resedit" them all from my own machines, but that would take a lot of time. Does anybody know of a place...

Ok, then… My goal was to keep things simple in the first place. It was just a side project, only for fun. So having the Mini untouched was a must, so I could easily get it off, using it elsewhere, or eventually resell it. At first I ran the Mini with its cover off, thinking it would help. It...

You've got some good points. Actually, after posting this yesterday, I thought I had to re-think soe things about that setup. But maybe here isn't the best place to discuss it. My goal wasn't to go off-topic with wgoodf's question!

I found the floppy I was thinking of. The app is called MacroMind VideoWorks II. A liitle googling pointed me to MacroMind Wikipedia page, where I learned that that MacroMind later became Macromedia. VideoWorks is the first name of what later became Macromedia Director, now Adobe Director. PM...

Some more thoughts about the airflow in a SE's case: I built my Macminitosh putting a Mac Mini inside a SE case. And heat is actually the main issue with that setup, with the SE case being nearly hermetic, and the Mini's fan having to do all the job. One way or the other, I would definitely NOT...

Not sure about it, but I definitely DO have a couple of DD floppies with a similar name on them lying in a box that came years ago with my 512Ke. I remember briefly trying that software on the said 512Ke. There was a System Disk with the app and some data disks. I didn't produce any content, but...
