    What Do You Do With Your Compact Mac?

    Wow I never knew about World Builder! Just watched this video of someone reviewing Radical Castle ( ). It's kind of like a poor man's Lucas Arts game. Looks fun!

    What Do You Do With Your Compact Mac?

    I'm currently building a HyperCard stack we can all use to catalogue our collections :) I've mostly been making it on one of my Quadra 700s but when I was at my folk's place for Christmas I was using one of my PowerBook 100s. Feels fun to use them 'for real'. Anyone interested, find out more...

    128k Mac with mods (512K + SCSI?)--can't remove motherboard due to add-on circuit board interference

    Oh avadondragon that's really useful to hear - I've got an SE with an accelerator that I was completely stumped by - I'll carefully bend the frame to get it out. A recap needs doing!

    First Vintage Mac

    Oh and make sure you take a photo of location and/or write down the values of every capacitor before you remove them! There are probbably charts out there, but best to make sure you cover your arse ;)

    First Vintage Mac

    Yep everyone's right. 1. recap (remove the caps, clean the hell out of the board with a toothbrush and hot water with a bit of washing up liquid, leave to dry like the dishes but for a day or two, put the new caps in) 2. open up the hard drive and just give the head a little nudge to work it...

    "Your Apple Tour Of The Macintosh Plus" 690-5209A

    @Schmoburger sorry dude, not found anything. I have tours for the SE, SE/30, Portable and some generic ones, but nothing for the Plus :( I'm off to pick up *a lot* of stuff this Thursday from an old guy getting rid of all his collection. There are a lot of disks and he has a Plus, so I may...

    OS 7 End Date - 2020

    What would be even neater would be to have patches for all systems, especially 6 & 7... but my 128 would probably like it for 5 too... and others on here would probably like it for 8 & 9 as well right?

    Outbound 125 Manual?

    Has anyone got a manual for the Outbound 125, that either they would be willing to send me, or copy, whether via scanning, or just phone camera photos of each page? I've not been able to find anything on the web, a PDF or something would be lovely. It would really help me out! Thanks!

    Oh I forgot to ask - does anyone have access to a manual? Ideally a PDF that they can send, but physical would be awesome too, that I could buy/borrow/scan. Thanks!
