IT is crazy how long it takes to unpack a 2mb file! The first few times I thought the machine had crashed. I guess I had no idea how similar the LC is to a compact MAC, I just assumed it was in a faster league.. but other than color, its really not. Dont get me wrong I like emulators. But I...

Thats a shame. Maybe when I restore the LC III I can try running it as its got a much faster processor. I told my friend I would give him the mac venture games, but they seem to crash. Can I run them on my LC with system 7.5? Id love to get shawdowgate on there.

Funny you should say that. I just bought one of these a few days ago (waiting for it to arrive): https://store.inertialcomputing.com/SCSI2SD-V5-1-p/scsi2sd-v5.1.htm Problem is While restoring this machine I went through at least 8 of my old scsi hard drives from various power macs, MAC SE's...

So it was the VRAM! I went to look in my other LC's and found that unlabeled VRAM stick (acutally in tiny print it has 820-0605-A) I looked it up and it is 512KB VRAM! Man these things sell for $35.00 on ebay that is crazy. I shut the machine down, swapped out the 256KB stick for this one and...

Thanks AmorAlley. I thought about the network card. One point you made I need clarification on. You said get 2x 256KB simms for vram. The LC only has one 72 pin vram slot though.

I had heard there was 256KB 512KB and 1MB vram simms but I dont know which to buy and dont want to make the wrong purchase. I have the standard one that came with the machine (1mb I suspect) I think I had one that came out of another Lc or LC III that was unmarked. Where in the OS can I check...

So I have made some progress loading the machine but I have a question. I know on one of my earlier attempts (forget what version of OS) I had 256 colors available. Now I only have 16! See photo, games are loading a bit glitchy. I would like to at least have the option to toggle betwen b/w ,16...

Oh and I forgot to mention, I have no idea how to dual boot the old mac os'. Can you point me in the right direction to get some info on it? Also would that even make sense on a 40mb hard drive?

Thanks Cheesestraws, that is a good start. I will try a couple of those drivers.

Through a painstakingly thorough process, I have restored a battered and bruised Macintosh LC from a school to its former glory. All rust from RF shields removed. Floppy drive completely cleaned and re lubricated. All Metals painted. Every surface cleaned, case and parts retrobrighted. I washed...

Thank you Cruff keep me informed. To be honest, even If I had access to the SMD 44pin IC being sold today, I dont have a hot air re-work station. And I have tried to replace this IC on a ROM 01 board in the past and damaged 5 traces. IF I could disable it and use an SCC card Id be happier. I can...

The good folks at Apple2online store have come through for me.

on Both units it is the Mini Diags built in. Can I ignore the error? I suppose but I will never feel good about the unit again, Id rather find a way and resolve/repair it if possible.

Hi I am hoping someone can help me out. I have an apple IIc keyboard I want to repair. See the photo, its missing some keys and all the spacebar hardware. I need the Z, M,<, ?/,[Right arrow key], and closed apple key. Thats 6 keycaps You might notice the left arrow is all askew, the switch...

Well I realize I can change slot assignments in the control panel. But even if I change the modem/serial to "mycard" the diagnostics can still run and FAIL which makes the machine look as if its not working. Its really a shame, I know how sought after Rom 03 boxes are. Both of these were bought...

Is there anyway to completely disable the serial card portion of the mainboard and just install a standard Super Serial card II? Both machines work completely fine otherwise and it would be a complete waste if they didnt get use. I figure I could install the super serial cards for adt transfers...

All caps were replaced and are fine. Yes i have diagnostics but they don't tell me anything. Like i said its intermittent. Sometimes its fine. Other times the serial connection flakes out and i can flag that error. Weird thing is is two different systems which leda me to think its not all that...

I have two ROM 03 Apple IIgs systems that give intermittent errors "SYSTEM BAD 06010000" From what I looked up it seems to be an issue with the built in SERIAL IC on the main board. Is that correct or is the issue something else? My concerns are system stability. IF I disable the modem port in...

So I purchased some DOA Apple Color monitors that I wanted to try and repair since I only have monochrome composite monitors. The two models are A2M6020 and A2M2056, both manufactured on 1986. Does anyone have schematics or know where I can find them on these monitors?  Please send me a message...

I have those for my old ibm compatibles.. they work but only IDE systems. you need the SCSI to CF or sd card. 50 pin to work with a compact mac.
