First, I would try a search in the forums for re-capping help (or recapping help) (recapping assistance) something like that to find links that can help (you may have already done that or may be in the process and be overwhelmed, but if not...) And here are a few to get you started: This is for...

I was in that thread early on, and probably the only one that fully documented what every single page on my scsi2sd setting was (everyone else would show one, or two pages at most) - so I never found out how the ones that worked maybe differed in their ending blocks and I was very frustrated at...

Thanks, I know I could have just tried it out, but I'd hoped some brave soul had already tested the waters. Now that is cool - next thing I'll look into once I dig my full 040 chip out of storage!

I've gotten a 475 board and would like to just drop it into my LCIII case as an upgrade (of course that leaves me with two spare LCIII boards, but that's a problem for later). If I do that, will it work with the LCIII's floppy drive? I don't think I can change the superdrive out for the manual...

Simply, incredibly, awesome. Congrats!

Now that's a fun feature! And its always great to learn more about where some of these items originated.

I wish! :) I have been watching, but not for that long... so I have not seen a good price on one. There could could have been some at VCF midwest and I wouldn't have known - I didn't get to spend very much time there, just happy that I got to go and get a few items, I'll try to plan a bit...

I am going to try the key command and report back, is there a link for the replacement ROM for this?

I have been tying to take better care of my II's this past few months and this weekend I caught up with on of my two IIci's, which originally came to me with a packed Toby card, as well as ethernet, cache and GPIB cards (but and no hard drive). I had recapped this one in the not-too-distant...

And I am here too (a few years later) and I know I'm not the only one, from back from when it was the only game in town (almost- remember the Aztec Monster-CF SCSI adapters?, I have some of those too!) and I need add a few notes that future agent_js03, myself and others, might find useful...

Remove it and take it to a locksmith? They may be able to re-key it. (the service source shows the barrel removed in an exploded view, but doesn't explain how!) I know it may not be the ultra-low budget route we usually take here, but sometimes the neighborhood shop will surprise you.

Mine came without those things (correct ROMS for an 030) installed when I bought it, but I have the ones from my working IIx that I can put in temporarily to see if they allow it to start. This is what I've heard (challenge accepted!) - and thanks for posting the pictures, including those of...

So it really is missing in that picture - I knew it! :) Seriously, thank you for confirming what I suspected. Now the search is on for an 020 (probably not too hard) and an MMU probably really hard... Let me know if you ever do make any progress with it, and I will do the same.

This summer I have been checking in on all my Mac II family that I have gathered together over the years and put an effort into ensuring that each one of them is cleaned, serviced, setup and working correctly e.g boots and shuts down correctly, has sound, floppy functionality, etc. The last...

I don't believe this card outputs to the 12" Macintosh Display as shown in this matrix link I'm also pretty sure that I tried to do this at one time (because I thought that the small monitor size would be handy for testing things out), but when I found it was incompatible with a variety of...

I'm glad you checked back in and that its not all been downhill. If you follow closely enough, you'll notice that there are more than a few of us that have seen tough times and eventually come out the other side. Its taken me years to get around to some of my projects (for some items the...

Good catch! 🥶 I'm really interested in the answer though...

I've found APS Power Tools to be really good for this over the years. It would mount items that would not mount to the desktop on their own for a variety of reasons e.g. I had a secondary IBM drive that I just could not get the timing right for its startup notification and used it for that one...

Ok, so I have never personally used one of this version, but I thought about getting one to experiment with by putting it in an external case (since it has a configurable SCSI ID available ) On the web page for this, which you might want to check out, it states... (bold emphasis is mine)...
