Holy crap I finally found some pictures. http://square.umin.ac.jp/~itoh/dual_fdd_1.html That guy seems to be a serious Macintosh Portable nut. I wish I had found his page sooner. This covers it for the removable faceplate stuff. I'm still looking around for information on the brackets and the...

As this Conner hard drive I have seems very noisy and about to die, I'd like to try building a dual floppy Macintosh Portable. I have never owned a dual floppy Macintosh, but I think it would be very nice. I love the sounds that the Sony floppy drives make. To have two of them going at the same...

I agree with LCGuy. The seller I got it from is most likely not Steve Landon. Even the chances of him being a reformed Steve Landon are very very low. This machine could have been picked up at a police auction or sale of sorts. It is also possible that because it was broken, Steve Landon really...

I'm planning to do a full disk image (even free space), so we may be able to undelete some stuff. There only seems to be some internet and kid software on here. Most all documents are gone, but there are some (not very good) Kid Pix drawings. The kids didn't even use color. They just scribbled...

You mean, aside from the fact that you'd have to kill them to get them into smokable form? I picked it up (along with the replacement sound/AC board) from this nice fellow: http://myworld.ebay.com/macmetex/. He said that he "picked up on [it]" a while ago and didn't have the time to fix it up...

I hacked the Mom account with brute force. It didn't take very long. The password was "mom". Here is Apple System Profiler. I think I have the PDQ because of the L2 Cache. Unfortunately, I can't look the computer up by the serial number, which has faded off the sticker on the bottom of the...

Howdy all, I bought a 14" 233MHz Wallstreet (or maybe PDQ, can't tell yet) a few days ago. The machine smells of smoke and most likely belonged to a smoker at one point in its life. Before I opened the case, I could hear some rattling going on inside whenever I moved the machine. It also had a...

Mike Richardson seems to only sell this package to ppcmla folks. Perhaps a PPCMLA dude could get Mike Richardson to sell this package to 68kmla folks as well?

Upon further investigation, that company wants you to send in your old battery which they will rebuild for you. They claim they seal up the casing after they are done, which is a process I wouldn't yet know how to do. That you have to send them an old battery makes that option much less...

I've come up with two more links for us. This site explains how to move the battery contacts from an old battery onto the PSG-650 battery (the plate based one). It also has pictures of the inside of the Apple battery, which shows the internal cells visibly. This site seems to be selling a new...

I'm looking to add a battery to my battery-less Macintosh Portable. I found one Macintosh Portable for sale on eBay with this battery in it. Since this battery doesn't have contacts on the bottom like the apple battery, you'll either have to figure out how attach some wires between the battery...

I took apart my Macintosh Portable this evening to make a count of the different capacitors I'll be needing to replace as part of the standard "holy crap this is old I need to replace the caps" operation. I updated the capacitor replacement wiki page with my findings. To my surprise, I...

And, of course, there is the actual Apple serial number of "SG3030Z7VA2". I'm pretty sure this Mac is not a prototype. It would be interesting to know if any other LC III owners have similar green wires in their machines and if they are the Rev A logic boards and/or are manufactured around the...

I just discovered these today. I thought they were more geared towards developers of expansion cards and software, but they might help in figuring out what these wires are doing. I will review the notes for the LC III and let you know what I can find out. I don't know. I would have thought that...

Oh, yes it does. I guess I should remove that. I don't think the SE/30 could ever be an Apple IIe. So you could put up a more correct SimasiMac?

The monitor weighs more. I'm not familiar with the identity you are referring to. (It may very well be an actual secret.) Might you be referring to this black SE/30? Or maybe this SE/30 bong? Or maybe its ability to run A/UX? It is hard for me to guess. Do vertical stripes like the one in our...

Hello, I am new here. I am happy to join up with my many like-minded comrades. I wish I would have discovered this place earlier. Here is my latest restoration, my first one in a while. It turned out to be a pretty easy one. The computer was missing a hard drive and only had on-board memory. I...
