Hi, I am trying to map possible replacements of power supply units for Powerbook and iBook, which are currently sold and available in Europe. So far I found some models at power4laptops.com (based in UK but seems to have other national websites including Italy where I live), and they also sell...

hello everybody. I have a spare (black) 5500/225 Power Macintosh that I am restoring and I plan to put for sale when it will be ready, but... I need suggestions about how it could be packed to survive shipping, since it's a super heavy beast with its 15" internal CRT, and a bit of a rarer model...

Hello everybody. I managed to find the black adb mouse II I was looking for... but it is the model with the ball housing directly mold into the bottom case, and since I am very lucky... most of the plastic housing is broken. I tried to fix it with superglue, hot glue, whatever, but for one clip...

Hello everybody, I am restoring a powerbook g4 12" - I increased memory and replaced the hd with a ssd, but when I try to install OSX (either 4 or 5) it asks for restart, or installs the first OSX 4 and then when rebooting, again it will ask for restart. What could it be? what would you look...

Hi, I had a couple Jaz external drives (the green ones, 1 GB cartidge capacity) that I plugged in my Iici alternately, to play around and test them. The original PSU was included with one of them, so I could power up both, to discover that one was somehow faulty while accessing the cartridge...

Hi everybody, I have had the fantastic @Bolle set of slot expander + ethernet bracket + Carrera 040 clone in my SE30 for a while and everything was perfect. I had to reinstall System and I wasn't able to find the old Carrera SE30 control - and if I use the newer one (v.1.8) it hangs at boot on...

Hi everybody, I bought a dead IIfx for parts, and I found a few cards inside, among which a Miro Prisma Plus video card. I found old threads where @Bolle shared drivers archived on Maik site mirosupport.com (I found the site before the threads, so I wrote Maik myself and I am curious to see if...

Hi everybody, I just made it to acquire the holy Grail of 16 years old me, the Applied Engineering (AE) PC Transporter card for PC compatibility on Apple IIe / IIGS. The card I got seems to be a rev. D, looking like this: I am setting it up in a ROM03 IIGS, and it's a learning process that I...

I was lucky enough to score a whole Apple II graphics tablet set (card + tablet + pen) and I already have a spare tablet alone. All manuals and docs are available online, so I really hope this will be a nice way to spend some fun time on my Apple IIe or IIeuroplus. I also have a couple of...

Hello everybody, I am trying to create an LCD panel for my IIc / IIc + from scratch. I have bought this quite cheap panel on AliExpress (40€ for the full set) : https://www.aliexpress.com/item/10000264465410.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.5.6df536962DK75I which has this control...

Hi, I am looking for information about the external dongle sold with the Apple II Workstation Card. The card, actually working only on enhanced IIe with 128k+ , was a late addition to the Apple II family to add a LocalTalk port and a printer port, both with round miniDIN connectors, to Apple...

Hello people, I am from Italy and I was in my teenage when Macintosh appeared. I already had an Apple II, so I went to my local Apple shop where I bought it, to do the "Mac test drive" and I fell in love with that little box, also because - for the first time ever - all software they showed me...

hello everybody, I am in this very strange situation: my Quadra 700 came with an hard disk which failed after a few weeks. I wanted to try an 80 pin hd (cheaper, easier to find) with this made-in-china adapter: https://it.aliexpress.com/item/4001112495209.html and I got my hands on a 17GB...
