Wow. Just . . . wow.

Oooh. Grats on the Wallstreet. I'm a big fan. Lowendmac has it as both. I've had one since the Fall of '98, and I've been calling it a Wallstreet for years (for whatever that's worth). If I'm being precise I call it a Wallstreet PDQ.

I appear to have found a complete set of original AppleCD SC drivers/readmes/INITs, etc. on one of the 800k floppies from Mk.558's recent rescue lot. If anyone's interested, put a post here.

Browsing through a 1987 rev. Mac Plus user's manual, I find the following on page 177 in the section on peripherals for your Plus. Things to note: 1) It's an '87 manual from after the switch to platinum Pluses. Everything in the picture is clearly platinum. 2) The text mentions the "Apple...

Okay, so update number one. Bongs and boots has turned into bongs but no video. I know the CRT works, or it did, but it's not working now. As you can see, cosmetically, it's not a winner. My first question: What's the hot glue looking stuff on those analog board components in the top of...

I'm sure you've all had them. Let's hear about them. Big and small. This is quite small, but it was disappointing all the same. I was going to snipe a G3 PowerBook floppy drive module at the last second this morning (bid was $2.24), but I went to help my son find his belt and got back about 20...

The looseness is almost certainly a broken hinge. There are two of them, and they do break. I've had to replace them on my Wallstreet in the past, and I've got looseness again. Like Nedry, I don't really care to fix it. If the other hinge goes, and I get a completely floppy screen, then I'll fix...

Price differences and the inclusion of extra software in one of the auctions aside, does anyone know the difference between this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/270971555417?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649#ht_1351wt_1227 and this...

Poking around online, it looks like it may be a capacitor problem. Since capacitors are something I need to learn about, I'm going to try the hairdryer trick. Two questions: 1) Can I do it with the case off without risking electrocution, 2) Any suggestions on where the right capacitors might be...

I just picked up an Apple modem 300, and I have a copy of terminal Tell me more about how you make your compact talk to a modern Mac over the phone. What do I do on the modern Mac end?

Hi danielb! Welcome aboard! Always nice to run into a fellow Mac Plus user. :) Drop on over to the lounge and say hello. Post some pics of your stuff. Have fun! In regards to the network option, I've never set one up, even though with my Wallstreet I suppose I could. I would need to look...

Be aware that USB floppy drives won't be VBR and won't write 800k disks for the Plus. I recommend using ZIP (SCSI on the old machines, USB on the new) or getting a G3 with a VBR floppy drive. Of course, you could use the USB floppy to talk to your 1.4 floppy machines which could then talk to...

Yeah, so my mind is kind of blown. I just watched a 512Ke open an image that had just been taken with an iPhone moments before. Never in my life have I seen an image of the immediate surroundings on a compact Mac. Wow. It looks like you're running MultiFinder on that Mac. Is that necessary to...

It's only a partial rescue, but it's my first one, so here it is. My wife and I had an eMac in the first years of our marriage, and about five years or so ago, the screen started acting funny. I put it in storage, thinking someday I might fix it. At some point my wife decided it was time to say...

Okay, so I'm getting ready to crack open my first Mac. I've gotten a hold of a genuinely bashed up Mac Plus that despite a heavily fractured case still bongs and boots. Because of its condition, I'm not afraid of screwing up a good machine, and I want to part it out—or, really, dissect it for...

I have recently come into possession of working copies of MacTerminal and ThunderScan. Since both of these are essentially hardware drivers, and one of them was I believe shipped with some Macs, I don't believe it's out of place for me to post here that I will be making images of both available...

Bunsen is absolutely right. A Wallstreet PDQ is the perfect machine for vintage Mac enthusiasts. It's the last machine Apple made that can read/write the old 800k floppies (since it was the last Old-world machine), and the floppy modules can be had for $20 to $30 on eBay if your current one...

For a Mac Plus with a Sad Mac code 0177A, there's no fix but a logic board swap, correct?

Um, I'm pretty sure selling stuff on eBay is *good* for the collector community. I've gotten *all* of my best stuff off eBay, and guess what, I had to pay a lot for the really good stuff. So, for the high price tag, well, rare systems should be expensive, no? And if they go for big bucks...

How about . . . twenty-five large? http://www.ebay.com/itm/RARE-BOXED-APPLE-LISA-1-COMPUTER-SYSTEM-COMPLETE-RESTORED-WORKING-/160784312263?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item256f7de7c7#ht_32309wt_1150
