Hey guys. I am trying to get Mac Paint to run off of the Rominator I I installed on my Mac Plus. 1.0 complained that it didn't have enough memory. I decided to try MacPaint 1.3. That seems to launch but I get the message "MacPaint can't ind work space on the deault drive". Not sure what...

Really? Because my other board doesn’t do it! If I had another Compact Mac I would try it on there.

Hey guys. I need help with an analog board I am trying to run on a Mac plus. It’d driving me bananas! It makes a ticking sound when the RAM test completes. The sound goes away IF i unplug the ribbon cable from the floppy drive to the logic board OR if I put a disk in the floppy drive...

Thank you for the reply. Where do you see corrosion damage on the underside? I am not questioning your observation, I just want a better idea of what I am looking for. Thanks again.

Here are some photos.

Hey guys. I just recapped a dyna comp PSU. I tried to test it on my LCII and it didnt do anything. No power to computer. I assume that this thing is compatible with my LC. Previously I had recapped a TDK and this one didn't give me any trouble. Anyone ever work on the Dyna Comp model and...

No matter what I do it tells me the disk is unreadable and do I want to initialize. I’m definitely only turning a hair. I wonder if I’m doing something wrong that has nothing to do with tuning the motor and that is causing the unreadable disk issue. I know it’s a good disk. I know that my...

This one does nothing when I insert a disk. It will seat and eject but will not read or write. it doesn't spin or anything. If it wasn't for the eject motor, I would think it's not getting power. Is this a sign that it needs a recap?

Thank you for the replay. I’ll give it another shot. How much should I be turning the thing?

Hey guys. I have spent two days working with an 800k floppy drive and I can't seem to get it to behave properly. I won't bore you with a detailed play by play but I'll summarize what I have done: 1. Disassembled, cleaned (99 IPA) and relubed ejection mechanism 2. Cleaned heads with 99 IPA...

Just picked up this 512k. What is this thing on the back of the case? When I opened the case and looked inside, there was nothing of note present ?

Would you help me with the corrupted EEPROMS?

Thank you for this explanation! I think I should have found a "practice" logic board to mess with when playing with ROMs and sockets. It seems pretty clear to me that I ruined the existing sockets by attempting to install the ROMinator and then "cleaning". They aren't making good contact...

I need something like this, don't I...

The ROMinator has wider pins? How would that create a problem if it snaps into the socket? I can see how the pins being too SMALL would make a difference b/c of bad contacts but not if they are too BIG. Please explain, no comprende.

As always I appreciate your knowledge and help.

I don't have a lot of faith in my ability to repair this thing. I think it's worth a shot, but I'd like to have a back up as well. Do you know what kind of sockets I need? I looked on Google and didn't have much luck.

idk, I think I might just get a new logic board. I don't even know what kind of sockets I need. You have any idea? Also, the holes on the logic board are a bitch to desolder.

Okay I’m here to admit complete defeat. I cleaned the ROM sockets on the logic board like someone suggested and now I get the picture shown. I suspect that not knowing what I was doing, I ruined the existing sockets. So neither the stock rom nor the ROMINATOR work on this Mac Plus. Time to...
