The Oscar the Grouch trash can was a very popular Res-edit hack. So popular in fact that it was used to spread some nasty viruses. If these are from the same source, then both have likely been hacked. The x and * are likely indicators for the user to help keep track of changes, and types of...

Search for terms like, video NTSC TTL under compact mac and you will find several threads discussingnthe compacts video requirements. There is nothing special required to get the video output from the Mac, it merely converts to a standard TTL signal and mirrors the MACs output signal. As for...

Fairly common at the time video output, providing mirroring for a larger external monitor. Apple even offered such a card themselves according to TIL articles, but third party cards were mor popular. This requires a special monitor which syncs at the Macs video frequency, so don't expect you...

I would chose the other 512K board with the Dove Mac Snap SCSI card. That is a 512Ke configuration since the Dove board requires the 128K ROMs. As I said before, a RAM disk could still be used for disk caching by the software, and not give a true picture. Then if that works, try it with System...

And a unmodified 512Ke, since this is essentially operating as a Plus. Since you have a Plus, try reducing the RAM to 512K and see if your 6.0.8 server disk will still work. That will settle question. Either way, I'm pretty sure there are solutions for running TCP on System 6. My point is not...

Sorry to break it to you mactjaap, but in addition to 1MB RAM, you are also running 128K ROMs, which for all practical purposes makes this a Mac Plus without SCSI, which could be easily added (and supported by Apple) with a Dove Mac Snap card. It is "technically" an upgraded 512K, but...

I suggest anyone interested in following the Mac 128Ks in the wild, should register with eBay (if not already), whether you intend to buy anything or not, then set up automatic searches for "128k" in every country in which you might be curious. They are easy to turn on and off should you get...

342-0220/21-A/B clearly printed on the ROM with a respective 1983/1984 copyright date. The new ROM addresses a revised stepper motor in the 400K Sony drives. Newer drives are incompatible with the older ROMs, a fact with which one must be aware when swapping out 400K drives with 64K ROMs...

Peter, no offense, but this is just standard fare from danapplemacman. He sells nice clean Mac 128Ks for high end clientele and posts lots of pretty pictures of them. This is nothing new, much less out of the ordinary. I did not post this thread to encourage posting nice Mac 128K eBay auctions...

This is likely an upgraded 512K, with an aftermarket RAM upgrade, not a Plus, since the back of his case says 512K, so it would not accommodate the Plus port configuration. Would love to see a picture of that logic board that soldered the 1MB RAM to the original board, rather than a piggy-backed...

I now understand your reference, the comparison the Bass' original design has been discussed numerous times in other threads. The trick of course as you so astutely point out is writing a driver for it, which few on this forum are interested in, or capable of doing. While the 128K ROM might...

Saw this incredibly detailed auction on eBay for a 128K manufactured the week of the SuperBowl. Nice detailed pictures of the early differences from later units. But don't worry Anonymous Freak, yours is still the earliest known production Macintosh manufactured! :beige...

The Plus boots fine with 64K ROMs. It's been done by both myself and Tom Lee. Neither of us used it extensively, but if I'm not mistaken, the 64K ROM was coded to be aware of at least 4MB of RAM if not more, up to the limits of the 68000. If not it definitely supports 512K RAM, which is the base...

Actually Dennis, it's probably a lot easier and cheaper to buy a Mac Plus off eBay. They are plentiful and cheap. It will also give one a place to safely store those removed parts from the 128K. Besides, I always recommend anyone with a 128K to also own a Plus since it is so similar to the 128K...

Once again, another truly rare listing on eBay for a single - sided 3.5" 400K floppy disk drive head cleaner. These really don't just come up too often. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120660997135

Yes using Basilisk II you will be able to transfer files from a PC to a Mac the same way as outlined in the lInk I provided from OS X to a 128K. You will need to be running a compatble version of MacTerminal or as I do under OS 8.5, ClarisWorks which emulates MacTerminal 1.1 protocol. I find...

Terrific! I am confused though, if your Mac Plus is the server connected directly to the Internet, what does the Quadra and Linux box have to do with anything? Also, why transfer your files from the 128K using Xmodem on the Plus? Why not use MacTerminal on both? I use MacTerminal to transfer...

I find some of these comments incredibly funny from a mostly "have-not" crowd. There's a big difference between a collector who wants the authentic original of something rather than a guy who just likes "toys" with a nostalgic bent. it's the difference between a person who pays $800K for a...

Yes that is a Twiggy drive. There are many such pictures in Apples early promotional literature that got an early start, remember the Sony 3.5" drive replaced the Twiggy very late in the process. Any developer whom Apple gave a Mac to, such as Microsoft, would have had one with a Twiggy...

Patster21 ... That YouTube video also shows a Mac with a Twiggy drive in it, good luck finding one now. Of course these versions existed, do you have source for them now? I think thats the point of this thread. Then again, if the point is merely to observe some differences in the way the Finder...
