    Apple II clone - screen full of Apple characters on startup

    They're not extortionately expensive either... you might get lucky with this one : - https://www.ebay.com/itm/116183317961 Or there's this one : - https://www.ebay.com/itm/404980459402 I've also seen them go with BIN for less than the latter one. Of course, YMMV.

    Quack: Bluetooth & ADB Mouse "Dongle" for the Macintosh 128/512/Plus

    Great, will do - depending on... I have a couple of Kensington (Turbo Mouse?) and also a Logitech one - forget the name of the latter - all native ADB ones. Do you think either of these will work?

    PB 2400c ram

    Could it be the way the memory is "arranged" (accessed)? The IBM DIMM states 8Mx64: Maybe the "Apple" memory is 16Mx32?

    MacTwister: a MacCon/Etherport/Dayna Twisted Pair breakout board

    Oh my!... I totally lost track of this - sorry! If you could keep an earmark on one I will buzz out my connections. Will happily cover postage, etc. if it looks like it'll work.

    Apple II clone - screen full of Apple characters on startup

    How totally confusing! The second pic you linked does show "dots" near the chip corners which likely indicates PIN 1 position: These do appear to coincide with your board, so I guess you're all good. Still... annoyingly confusing!

    Apple II clone - screen full of Apple characters on startup

    Umm... but it's not working, and hasn't right? I found another Rev 7 Apple II board, and its CPU is rotated 180° :

    Apple II clone - screen full of Apple characters on startup

    Just a wild question... is the 6502 the right way 'round? Seems kinda odd it's oriented 'upside down' compared to the EPROM at the bottom...

    Quack: Bluetooth & ADB Mouse "Dongle" for the Macintosh 128/512/Plus

    Just ran across this thread - neat! I have an original 'Mac' mouse for my Lisa, but @cheesey's pic has got me thinking about attaching one of my ADB trackballs... :unsure: Are any of these still available? In case you're still on the hunt - some inspiration? -...

    Lisa Keyboard Repair

    That's a shame. I ordered pads from that seller as well as some cleaning floppies. Everything came quickly and his comms were great - he even sent more pads than needed and an extra floppy cleaning sheet - so I have spares. I wonder if maybe he was just out of stock? Very surprised you were...

    BeOS PowerPC Software and GoBe Productive

    Cheers! Just the onboard - I don't have many PCI graphics cards - mainly NuBus. I do have a Mac Radeon 7000, but not sure Be will support it?

    BeOS PowerPC Software and GoBe Productive

    Figured it out... your .hda had a 2nd (PCI) interface configured. Of course, I don't have one... removed it and all's well!! Thx again!

    BeOS PowerPC Software and GoBe Productive

    I'll 'contribute' this... Woo woo!! :cool: Taking advantage of the BH, I finally got 'round to cleaning up a PM8500 I picked up a few years back, and popped in an Interware (Daystar) dual 604e card I picked up off buyee specifically to play around with BeOS. Thanks to your guide and...

    Levco MonsterMac 2MB Teardown & Repair

    Slightly OT, but a few years back I acquired an original Macintosh with a similar upgrade - first the "piggy-back" upgrade to 512k, then a 1.5M board placed on top - for 2M total. The company behind this upgrade was Perspect Systems, Inc. Not much out there in web-land about them. Here are...

    Stuck Miniscribe

    You could try "rotating" the whole drive clockwise/counterclockwise. Grab the drive in your hand - thumb on one side, fingers on the other - then 'rotate' your wrist back and forth - sort of like screwing a large bottle lid on and off. Make sure you keep the drive horizontal and level while...

    840AV auto-inject floppy - how to mount in drive bay?

    @croissantking - I have a bunch of various floppy sleds, pretty sure I have one from a 8100 that I parted up as it was too far gone. I can have a look when back from my travels.
