Thanks!  I appreciate it!

Has anyone had any experience using these third-party adapters with their older Powerbooks?  They say they are compatible with a 180, but I figured I would see what you all think: https://www.amazon.com/Hi-Capacity-Adapter-Apple-PowerBook-M5140/dp/B0000X6CQ8...

I pulled out my Powerbook 180 for the first time since I moved (several months) and fired it up.  I have a new battery I bought not too long ago, so it holds a charge pretty well.  The machine fired up and was working fine.  After a bit, I got a message saying "Your battery is not charging...

This is probably a very simple question (and something I probably knew how to do way back when), but I can't seem to remember: I am trying to create a bootable/installable set of OS 7.1 floppies.  I have .Image files of the set (Install, Install 2, Fonts, Disk Tools, Printing, Tidbits), and I...

Did the 6502B just have a faster clock speed from the original 6502?

I wonder re: the trackball.  Since it seems the rubber rollers start to go after a bit (causing it to be unable to move the cursor in a given direction very well/at all) -- couldn't someone get a 3d printer to create little plastic rollers to replace them?

So I received a ReactiveMicro Universal PSU unit today for my Apple III. ​The instructions for installing/wiring it are here: http://reactivemicro.com/w/images/2/2a/2016-11-07_-_ReActiveMicro_-_Universal_PSU_Kit_-_Install_Instructions.pdf The Apple III instructions begin at p.46. I have...

Oh, also: What is the difference between the A3S1 and A3S2?  The bottom of the A3S2 says it has 256k of RAM.  The bottom of the A3S1 says 128k of RAM, but the diagnostic said it has 256k of RAM.  Both seem to have a "5v" RAM card installed above the motherboard, so maybe the original owner...

So this week I got quite the Apple III haul -- Two Apple IIIs, an external Disk III, 2 Monitor IIIs, a Profile HD, and a silentype printer, and a Titan "III to IIe" emulation card for a combined $150.  I also got some Apple II related stuff for like $30 extra. One Apple III seems to have some...

So I acquired additional Apple III-related goods today from the same Craigslist source, including a Monitor III.  This Monitor III has a badge that is like glued to the front that reads "Apple Computer Inc: 1082" (see picture below).  Has anyone seen badges like this before?  Is this a sign it...

This one on eBay seems to have the same chip missing as nine: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Rare-Apple-III-Titan-III-to-IIe-Board-Set-see-pics-/152295987768?hash=item23758c5a38:g:DusAAOSw44BYEhhh

Looking at the first image of the Titan card, I just realized that there appears to be a chip missing on the "III plus II" card -- third row from the right, second row down.  Looking at pictures of other comparable Titan cards, the missing chip appears to be a "74LS161ANA" chip (whatever that...

Yeah, it seems they do, but luckily I found a place that has the manuals and .dsk images loaded: http://mirrors.apple2.org.za/Apple%20II%20Documentation%20Project/Interface%20Cards/Apple%20III/Titan%20III%20Plus%20IIe/ I have sent off my Apple III Power Supply to Uni to be re-capped.  Once I...

Went back to the place i got the Apple III set up to buy more stuff.  I got: (1) Another rainbow ribbon-Disk II (2) An Apple IIe numeric keypad thing (3) A Disk III (4) A rather odd card I had never seen by "Titan" -- It is actually two cards connected together.  One reads "III plus II" the...

I would be curious to hear about your experience with it!  It looks nifty!

Yup, I did and I think I found the problem. One picture is of the entire PS. Towards the "front" of the PS (closest to the outlet), there is something (a cap?) that appears to have blown its yellow cover.  Both it, and the little pink circular thing next to it appear slightly singed/burnt (see...

This III also has an odd smell coming out of the power supply area when it is running.  Its not noticeable unless your face is near the back while its running, but its definitely there.  It *smells* slightly like burning electronics but very subtle -- when I opened everything up I saw nothing...

Also, apparently the Profile requires a special card in the Apple III to work (that this one does not appear to have.  I'll have to pick one up eventually so I can see if this HD actually works!

Also, something was rattling around in the front of the Profile HD, so I opened it up and this piece of grating came out.  Hopefully its not super important to the HDs operation?

Picked up today an: (1) Apple III (2) Monitor III (3) Profile Hard drive (4) Silentype Printer  (5) Apple IIe enhancement kit (in box) (6) Apple II Super Serial Card (in box) (7) shrink wrapped Disk ][ Total cost: $180 which sounded fair to me (not knowing at all how much any of this...
