    Floppy Disk Label Question

    Well the lisa auction states: "Speaking of which, I'm including a full set of fresh, never-used DUPLICATE 400k Lisa 7/7 disks, as well. These replicas look very much lke the authentic Lisa disks, except they are less yellowed, the label art is not quite as crisp, and the write-protect tabs are...

    Floppy Disk Label Question

    Well here's one lisa auction I spotted that had them. They looked real good. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320541774541&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT#ht_4200wt_1118 Here's one of MacPaint on a Sony disk: There was a couple of others I spotted. I cant remember where...

    Early Mac 128K won't start up!

    Yea I read that. I was curious as to if the voltage should be adjusted down or if that's considered still within acceptable range. It's just under the 15% overage mark, so I wondered of it should be adjusted down still or not. I was thinking no tho since the CRT and board isn't fired up when I...

    Early Mac 128K won't start up!

    Finally got around to checking voltage on the floppy port today. Here's the results: PIN 5: -13.50 PIN 6: +5.25 PIN 7: +13.63 PIN 8: +13.62 Suggestions? Sorry guys, I'm pretty rusty with this stuff. Thanks again, Andrew

    Early Mac 128K won't start up!

    So I still haven't purchased a voltmeter yet (work all day) but late last night I did bite the bullet and popped her open. I was definitely the first one to do that to her. I couldn't so much as see a fingerprint in there! And, surprisingly, I could barely find traces of dust! The inside of her...

    Early Mac 128K won't start up!

    Arrg! My wonderful father gave away our mutilmeter.. Guess I'll need to buy one tomorrow to test the voltage. I did try the brightness, but yeah, it did nothing. As for the sound, I took the old battery (wow old school energizer logo!) out earlier today, and it had been unplugged for awhile...

    Floppy Disk Label Question

    So I'm noticing a lot of ebay auctions and youtube videos that show classic macs and lisa's with disks that clearly aren't original (black, blue, red disks) but have copied the original labels onto them. Where are people finding these floppy disk label templates from? I'm curious where these...

    Early Mac 128K won't start up!

    I just looked over the link referenced, and it's saying that if I have no display and still hear the startup bong it's the analog board. On my 128k it's not making the start up bong, it's just silence and the disk drive light constantly glowing red.. :-/ I'm about to go check voltage, I'll...

    Early Mac 128K won't start up!

    Hey everyone. So I just had a pretty interesting find. I came across a Mac 128k along with original box and numeric keypad for $60. :) This thing is probably in some of the best shape I've ever seen a unit come in. It has practically no yellowing at all! Anyways, I was all excited and gave...

    Lisa Won't Boot. Advice?

    I needed a alternative video source to plug her into to test it. The Macintosh TV was in my kitchen right where I was testing her. So it only made sense. :) Well the image does roll, slowly. So the power supply still could be the culprit I guess? I'm going to try testing the output today...

    Lisa Won't Boot. Advice?

    If the ROM are pulled out instead of the weird pattern, the display in just grey, with a few horizontal lines running through it. Sadly right now I don't have another power supply to test her out on. I'm going to see if I can find my multimeter in my garage and test the output. I've checked the...

    Lisa Won't Boot. Advice?

    @Nathan: I just started to read over the links you provided. Thanks for your reply. I also plugged lisa into the back of my Macintosh TV :) at least I know the MacTV is working, lisa is not however. The video image is the same on the MacTV as it is to that on Lisa. I've attached another...

    Lisa Won't Boot. Advice?

    Hey everyone. So I did a little bit of searching on here first, but i'm still not quite sure where to start going with this. Anyways, the lisa that we have won't boot. Here's what I've got: It turns on, the power switch glows, no beeps from the speaker, the display shows a weird pattern (see...
