Yes, found drivers online. She works, is 10 meg and has a few partition’s on it.

Yes it is a serial port hard drive. Guess the first for the macintosh

When I bought a bundle of mac stuff, this was in the bottom of the box. Considering this stuff was stored in a garage for years with mouse shit, dirt, humidity etc I was so happy that she worked. Very cool item to have if you have a 128k or 512k.

So was supposed to fly out and see my dad. Haven’t seen him in long time. Get up at 3:30 am and get myself to the toronto airport by 5:30. Two hour drive on very little sleep. Get to airport on to be told 6:30 flight was canceled and they switched to 10:30pm. I am pissed. My sister is...

Yeah nasty. Must have been a newbie. Talked with him and all is good. I screwed my se/30 years ago on my first attempt and botched my color classic that i then sent to thomas at amiga of rochester lol.. so we learn as we go.. one hopes:) i use a lot of organic polymer or tantalums.

Yeah, mine needed cleaning there as well. Have to take time taking the metal frame off to open it up but easy after that. Amazing where all that cap juice flows too.

So, picked up this 270c with a dock in two separate auctions, but same seller. Felt kind a bad for the low offer i sent on 270c but really didnt need it. The auction stated it was recapped and everything. Well, laptop showed up, so was curious to see if cap job was in fact “done”, and how...

I didnt know the 270 was an 030. So that’s cool to have both the 270c and 280c now. Cool laptops. The MacBook air of their time

Yeah thats so cool. The dock works perfectly. Just need to order one cap that i didnt have on hand.

Well, I know carbon computing from when I lived in Guelph. Nice that he had these and was local. No customs, or hold ups at the border

Duo dock is here, duo 270 next week. Could drive, but gas and time has to be figured in too. Dock is awesome:) remember having one years ago.

Already have a duo 280c with small ext. dock, and a duo 230 both recapped. I saw a guy selling a duo dock so made a reasonable offer and he went for it. He also had a duo 270c recapped and I waited for a bit before I decided. I also made an offer as i dont really need it, but would be happy to...

Actually looks like the rear polarizer is cooked being burnt orange. Hard to say what can be done. The blue screen of death is notorious for these machines.

Hate to resurrect an old thread. My 2400c gets the glod and then sometimes the speaker tick and board is warm, but no life other then that. Think its cpu card or logic board? All fuses are good. Haven’t tried a new pram either

The screen looks to have track ball damage. That will always be there now. Recapping isnt bad. Make sure you clean cap goo off with isopropyl 99% before new caps

You also have to make sure the cpu card is actually “in”. I thought my pismo was dead. Someone suggested pressing harder on cpu card where sockets meet. So i did, but was scared to break it. It worked. The cards have to mesh properly and be connected firmly or no signs of life too

Well, lcs taken apart and cleaned. So now the rebuild i guess. The orings leaked and this was a single pump version so no lcs was “safe” as far as i am concerned. Not sure if i want this route. Still tempted to air cool it.

That stinks. I can send you a different interconnect board to try. Try hitting both reset and programmer buttons on back at same time and hold 10 seconds Then power on. Probably wont help, but can’t hurt. I would also wash the boards is isopropyl 99% and scrub connectors with soft toothbrush...

So, i found out my quad lcs was starting to leak. I didnt really want a g5 project right now, but my two 2.3 dual core psu died so I thought go 3 for 3? Anyways, lcs is pulled. I decided to re thermal paste logic board as well. I did notice some caps were leaky, Great!, more work. I dont want to...

yeah let us know. I have three working 180c. They are my favourite pb of the 68030 era, along with the 170.
