This is really cool, thank you for sharing!

After seeing Rasmus post his/her recent thread on early Mac power cords, I was reminded of a perennial quixotic quest of mine to re-create early System software disks. (I use the adjective "quixotic" advisedly: my quest is most likely both fruitless and pointless. And yet, I joust.) I...

Oh man, I hope you get an answer to this. I tried to figure this problem out a few years ago and never got anywhere, but it was around the time I drifted away from the hobby. I will be watching this thread eagerly.

I was just looking at the right-angled cords in my collection. I won't include pictures unless you want, because it is so hard to know where any of my stuff is from so it won't likely help you much, but FWIW, all three are labeled Yakita (one is Yakita-S, it doesn't look any different from the...

Oh, yes, I think I have several of those angled cords in my printer cord collection. Unfortunately my collection is such a garage sale mishmash that it is hard to be certain what cords in my possession came with which computers. I'll have to go make a count of types, at least.

Just wanted to say that your site is one of my favorite resources. Thank you for caring about the little details!

Thanks! I did worry about that (I already have too many dust-covered sensitive electronics). Jiffy must be a regional term though, I googled and nothing made sense... do you have a link to a pic? If it is best to buy the plastic case and assemble then I will suck it up and deal! Just wondered...

Been a while since I've had time to hang around here! I am playing a bit with my vintage computers again. I have a floppy emu and am rediscovering how much I love it. So much, that I'm seriously starting to think about buying additional units so that I can keep them permanently attached to...

Nice! I have an upgraded 512Ke like that, but mine doesn't work. It's on my list of machines to fix when I finish fixing up my workbench.

The OP was asking why his PDS RAM cards aren't working. He was never asking about onboard RAM.

Right, but CC_333 is saying that the PDS cards are also incompatible (look at the comment replied to). In your experience, is that correct?

But what about the PDS RAM cards?

Sob - looks like my Classic, which likewise fell victim to a Maxell. Good luck with the recovery mission.

Huh, I thought someone earlier in this thread said they should be interchangeable. But I guess the OP's experience indicates otherwise.

Congrats, and thank you for sharing the parts list! Much appreciated.

Try searching eBay, people often have auctions on key caps from specific keyboards. Can be a bit expensive per key, but if you just need the one, could be worth it.

The ImageWriter printer driver will need to be in the System Folder in order to select it in the Chooser. It should be installed automatically, but if it's not there, a copy should be easy to locate.

I'll be interested to hear your results. Someone earlier up the thread suggested a product called Tire Shine, I haven't tried it.

I don't know about Return to Zork (sounds like that one is off limits), but I think the Zork Anthology is just a collection of the old text adventures, which should run on any old Mac. You can test the theory by downloading a copy from Mac Garden before bidding on the ebay auction. Once you copy...

BadGoldEagle: as for scratches, it depends on whether they are really scratches, or transfers/scuff marks. Start, if possible, with an area that is out of the way, and try using the magic eraser technique. If it is a scuff or paint transfer, you should gradually see the mark disappear. If it is...
