    Macintosh Portable - No Sound?

    I have a pretty peculiar problem: the internal speaker is extremely faint. If I turn up the volume all the way and put my ears close to the case I can hear it working, but it's super soft. I replaced the speaker with another one (bought off the 'bay) and it didn't make a difference. The...

    Macintosh Portable 34 pin to 50 pin SCSI cable

    Thanks everyone! So I'm buying these then: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007R2JL18 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007R2JEV0 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007R2JF9Q I apologize for my ignorance but what exactly do I do with the wires that are not meant to be connected on the...

    Macintosh Portable 34 pin to 50 pin SCSI cable

    I bought a CF ActecMonster and was planning on using that with a 4GB CF card. In case that doesn't work I have a couple of IDE-SCSI bridges, one with a standard 50-pin SCSI connector (and the usual 4-pin Molex power) the other with a UW connector but I have an adapter to convert that to the old...

    Macintosh Portable 34 pin to 50 pin SCSI cable

    Thanks, I did see the pinout post but I'm not sure where I'd source the parts, and then there's the time needed... oh hell, the truth is I'm just a bit clumsy. I really wouldn't mind paying for a pre-made cable though.

    Macintosh Portable OS Reinstall?

    Sorry about the potentially silly question: if I were to grab System 6 or System 7 from Apple's download site, could I use those disks to perform a clean install of Mac OS on my Portable? I got the computer used, and while the system doesn't seem to be messy I'd prefer a clean start. Would the...

    Macintosh Portable 34 pin to 50 pin SCSI cable

    Hi, I have a very nice functioning Portable but I'm worried about the 20+ year old HDD. I'd love to replace it with a CF card, but for that I'd need one of those infamous 34-to-50 adapter cables. I don't really want to risk making my own. I'm wondering if someone here maybe has a spare one, or...
