I'm not sure if this applies in this case, but I remember Arthur Naiman in an early edition of the Macintosh Bible saying that Mac II class machines would act as though there was a second monitor attached as long as there was a card in a slot. Initially I thought (without having any actual...

I think that's a serial for After Dark X version 1 - my first bet was serialseeker as well. In any case, it doesn't work, unfortunately. Thanks anyway though, heavymetal4god.

Hi all - I just got a copy of After Dark 1 which I bought off ebay, but unfortunately the registration card which should have the serial number on it isn't in the box. Does anyone have one?

I think option only lets you choose a startup volume on a modern mac. The grey screen might indicate that it was testing the RAM, which could be what the option key does. This only happens when it's turned on from cold, not when it's rebooted. For memory...

I seem to recall that these needed ADB and a driver to run at anything other than 640x480. I think that the speakers just use a cable with minijacks at both ends, though, so that shouldn't be a problem.

I also run my Plus from a Zip 100. Works like a charm, and it's way quieter than a hard drive. Where in the world are you located, Audiart?

Well, for starters you're going to need a way of writing to Mac 800k disks — this pretty much means access to another mac. The Plus can't read high density floppies and nothing but a Mac can (everyone — correct me if I'm wrong) read mac 800k ones. For system software, system 6 or below is the...

Ooh, Spectre. Didn't think of that. Awesome - I'm setting that up tonight.

I should also say that I got horizontal SimasiMac lines the first time I turned it on — I cycled the power and she booted. Still, my fourth SE/30. I can set up a really over-powered bolo network! Are there any other 68k b/w capable games for network play?

I *finally* got around to checking it out. Nothing special, sadly: 8/80, although with the original hard disk. System 7.5 running, a bunch of not terribly interesting software on board. Nothing in the expansion slot.

I'm ashamed to admit that I haven't even plugged it in yet. I'll do so tonight. Apparently the guy bought it second hand for about $2k, but I think it was fairly recently (like 1995 or something). I'm hoping that means it's been tricked out a little, but we'll see. Nothing in the expansion...

I was driving a friend home yesterday. Drove past a garage sale sign but decided not to stop. Turns out it was a crescent road and there was a second garage sale — we figured we may as well. They were just packing up, but in the corner half hidden by a box of shite was an unmistakable shape. I...

It's conceivable that the PRAM battery is dead, but it sounds like you know what you're doing. The clock stays correct? I guess the network card could also be fried - that might cause the problems. You could try trashing (but backing up) the Open Transport preferences files.

Weird, isn't it? It's amongst the electronic access to various academic journals.

The horrible noise is probably the ratsh!t fan some SEs had. There were two models: the earlier ones had a "squirrel cage" fan, which is the crappy one (squirrelsh!t, I guess...) and the later ones have a fan as you'd see in any modern computer. Try cleaning the fan out.

I just did a google search for "sync on green" and LCD. A bunch of screens came up. Will any of these work with a IIci given a passive VGA-Mac adaptor, or is something more needed?

Hi all. I found the attached in an old MacWorld magazine from 1994, the archive of which my uni helpfully provides access to. Does anybody know of this and, more importantly, whether it would run on modern unix? Is it related to A/UX at all?

Does anyone know if these third party batteries can be safely charged in one of the external battery chargers?

Wow, I don't think my fridge is that big, equill, but thank you. I'll check it out when I get home from work. I'm determined to get both the little buggers working perfectly so I can start mucking about with them...

Well dammit. Now the CC has permanent pincushion distortion. I've cracked open the case and I can't fix it. The p250 has a geometrically perfect screen but I've not yet solved the degaussing problem. Any ideas what might be causing extreme pincushion distortion in an original CC?
