Hey, you might check out "chiefs trading post" or something similar to that on eBay... IF you can't find it, search for "powerpump" and he's the guy. He used to have several of the small docks you are looking for. I need to break down and buy a couple of the powerpump sets for my Q950's before...

Nope, if you can boot and get the machine to start recognizing the adb keyboard for the option key, it does just that. Puts up a rotation of screens and tells you the resolution and bit depth and when you hit the space bar it locks that setting in. Pretty cool feature. I have 2 or three of...

Ahh the IIGS.. My favorite machine of all time!!! If you are looking for a LOT of what was available for this machine please visit the "What is the Apple IIGS" website. it's located here: http://www.whatisthe2gs.apple2.org.za/ It is simply one of the best organized collections of IIGS...

Well, I was going to tell you to grab an ACARD 7200 series scsi to ide bridge or scsi to sata bridge, but looking at prices on ebay and other places it looks like they are WAY WAY overpriced these days. I bought two of them about 3 years ago for 29 bucks a piece. Now they are about 249.0 a...

Well after much ado I think I have these floppies for you and will be putting them out on share shortly for you to download. I made MacBinary versions, the raw disk image version, and .hqx versions, of 6.03, 6.0.5, 6.0.8 which are out on Apple's site for free. I even made the one 6.08 set as...

Hey, I might be able to help you... Maybe I can unpack them and re sit them in a more usable version for you? Let me know if you want to try. Shouldn't take me long to do this later yet tonight or tomorrow. I'll give you access to my ftp site to grab them or something from PM?

Before you forget to do it at all. Make a disk image of that Asante driver disk. I can't tell you how many times I've started out looking for one of my driver disks that I actually took out of that odd plastic covering they have on them. I still think what Asante shipped that disk in is more...

MacMETH just makes me want to scream in horror!!! In college at OSU back in 1990 Modula-2 was the first language they taught us. We didn't get to C until 1994. My favorite still to this day was the extremely bizzare Pegasus Pascal for the IIGS. I remember using it for lots of my discrete...

Mine is still the Turbo-Trax for MX-5 Soundchaser system..... FutureSound GS is definitely on my list too. I've got one but a backup would be nice for that card.

Hmm, for you guys with the all the cool sounds cards for the old II's... Any chance ANYONE has a lead on the Passport Turbo-Trax software for the SoundChaser IIE keyboard setup. It was like the Alpha Syntauri, but used the MX-5 single board Synth card. I have the full setup and original floppy...

I actually still have 4 Compaq 5000 units onlined at the house. Even though they are Quad PPro 200mhz they are all 1meg cache per chip. The memory buss gets saturated before the 4th proc really can be flexed but that was known even way back in 1997 or so. I run Ubuntu Linux on 2 of them once...

My opinion is two things on what you did. 1. Great listing. I wish we could get access to all the models of this type of data to know what to look out for etc when buying old machines. I know I'm going to take into account that #1 rating for the 2005 model G5 unit as the better unit. At least...

Any chance this is a Scsi Termination issue? Sometimes the termination 5v or whatever it was is screwed, or the diode that sits near the resistor pack on drives equipped with them on the end chain, or the resistor pack itself can go bad and look like this as well. I had to resort to external...

From my experience using the cards to date, the answer is yes. They really are nice cards and the drivers do provide a benefit. I have this odd ball BlueStreak 10/100 by Dayna that seems to perform very similar in speed to the Asante 10/100 as well in Nubus machines. The onboard ethernet...

I would love to get a couple Token Ring Nubus cards some day.. I could connect them to the ring with the Shiva gear I have. Yeah, fire up a TSO session over the Token Ring to our legacy VMS parition on the Z. That would be really neat. Alternatively it would be neat to fire up Hercules (OS...

Another really nice benefit of that Apple IIe card is that when printing. You just set the software for ImageWriter II mode, and then it will auto format at the mac side to pipe it to whatever your real printer is... I remember using a HP Deskjet that way in color from Printshop. Back then...

Yes indeed they are full duplex. The Asante utility that ships with it shows it as well. Asante was always a class act as far as I can remember. Yeah, my standards are pretty high, but if you go in with the thought that it's not going to be at the high end but with a realistic number set to...

And I vote once more from my own personal experience with this stupid case design that the 8500 gets a Road Apple award for user friendliness! Make sure you make your ram selection wisely! I spent about 8 hours across two days a year or so ago when I was prepping my 8500 for use with a...

You'll love that Asante 10/100 card. I got extremely lucky about 5 years ago on ebay and bought like 10 of them for about a dollar a piece plus 25 shipping. I've got one in nearly all my nubus machines now. The sad part is that they come up in 100mb mode, but depending on your Mac, you will...

Glad to have ya! The first computer I bought with my OWN money in college was my trusty Quadra 630 - Nice sum of 1200.00 used from a Chinese lady on campus. That was 1992-1993 I think. I used that machine to replace a Mac II that I had pieced together from scraps of machines from University...
