Buyer beware funkytoad, I just bought a "used" Mac Plus keyboard and had to repair 12 of it's keyswitches, but it's OK now.

Great read. I lke the bit about the "Snow White" design ethic and the use of lines in particular. Always wanted an SE/30.

This is turning into a design shoot-out so I'm going to make a cover for my battery pack to make it shade the rest.

Come to think of it, the Plus can mount the Classic's Had Disk but I can't mount the Plus's floppy on the Classic. But couldn't sharing be made possible with a floppy, say with ResEdit, despite how slow this might be?

I managed to see some Pear PC OS X files on my Plus by the following route. 1) I first mounted a Pear PC folder on the PC as an SMB share 2) I then map this folder as a drive on the PC, otherwise PCMacLAN can't see it, 3) I then add this mapped drive to PCMacLAN's shared drives and folders...

This is the mouse I bought for my Plus, has anyone seen this brand of serial mouse before? http://picasaweb.google.com/bromptys/Mouse ?

Only Basillisk on Win, I did try but just couldn't work out how to install Netatalk on Linux.

He might be a good guy but Herb's payment terms (no credit cards, no PayPal) put me off.

I did read these articles but I'm in the UK where shops won't stock anything slighty out of the ordinary - and thought my idea with the dummy battery was a design classic?

My Plus is connected to an AsanteTalk LocalTalk/Ethernet adapter which is connected to a Linksys 54G WAP through a 10T switch. So I thought I'd try mounting disks/folders on my Classic (connected by the en/sc) and a wi-fi connected (cough) PC downstairs runing PC MacLan and a Basillisk...

I just want a good replacement drive - as the 160MB drive my 6100/60 died, but when I asked a few sellers of 68 pin SCSI drives with adapters they turned out to be refurbished. I would like to keep it standard, I don't really want to fit a drive with an adapter in the 6100/60's empty CD bay...

I had to check! No, the original Plus battery is 4.5v.

At the thought of spending more for a battery than I did for the Plus I shaped a piece of wood to fit the battery compartment, screwed two contacts onto it made from a tin can, fastened this to a 3 x AA battery carrier and wired the contacts up. The length of the dummy battery plus the contacts...

Alas, I am on a sub, sub budget with this Plus but thank's for the information, it all helps.

Thank's for the thought Gumby, unfortunately I live in the UK. But I have since bought a mouse from eBay.co.uk and when this arrives it should allow me choose the settings to connect the Plus to my ethernet network through an AsanteTalk adapter - even if I have to copy paste letters and...

I see, it's either serial or ADB. The adapter mentioned by bolle is very interesting but I haven't built anything since a radio crystal set! Ever surprised by this forum.

Having aquired a Mac Plus with no keyboard I wonder if I can connect it to a Classic keyboard by grafting a phone connector onto an ADB lead - with the right pinouts. Does anyone have any experience of doing this, is it possible?

I've just made a boot disk for a Mac Plus, but you do needto write the os to aa 800k Double Density floppy disk as I understand the drive in a Mac Plus can't read the later High Density floppy disks.

Is this the said informaton? http://www.allegromicro.com/en/Products/Part_Numbers/8904/8904.pdf http://www.onsemi.com/ The trouble is one of my favourite films is The Flight of the Pheonix in which a disparate group of men make a flyable plane from the wreckage of their crashed plane in the...

Tried the repeated power up cycle technique, no luck - not yet anyway. More detailed account, the drive starts to spin at one speed for a few seconds and then makes a noise before "I think" attempting to go faster but it doesn't sustain this second speed or phase and slows to a stop, so I...
