Try swapping the analog cards to see if you can recreate the malfunctions on the opposite drive.  If so, then the problem is likely one or more of the ICs on the card, if the malfunctions persist regardless of the card, then it's a mechanical issue with the drive.  Also, if you can reproduce the...

Your errors might be coming from your laptop.  If the system makes any noise, that can interfere with casette line.  Computers can be chatty little things, system alerts, emails, messaging and chat alerts should all be silenced when connected to your //e.  Another thing to do is adjust the...

Try writing the disc from the Apple Disc Server: http://asciiexpress.net/diskserver/   They should have most of those.   It workes over the cassette ports.  You'll need an aux cable plugged into the port closest to the joystick port and to the headphone jack on whatever you're connected to the...

"Error # 8" is actually related to processor compatibility.  This usually means that the "Hello" or boot program was written for a 6502, and thus isn't compatible with the 65C02 processor in most later Apple 2s (including enhanced //e's).  The IIgs can sometimes boot these discs (as they have...

OMG, your right!  I was looking in the same corner of the board as my //e, but there it is J21 in the middle!  I've had this thing for years, and I never noticed.  So I everything works on a IIgs, can't wait to try it out!

To answer some of the questions I'm seeing here: First, the IIgs is compatible with nearly every Apple or Macintosh floppy drives.  The only exceptions are for PowerBooks or USB.  Personally, I rotate (since I have more computers than I have working drives) a 5.25 in, and a 3.5 in Unidisk, as...

Do you have a list of the capacitors I'll need to replace?

So I was recently given a Macintosh Classic (not a Classic II), and as one might expect, it will only give a checkerboard screen when powered.  All and all, it's a pretty common issue.  However, what's strange, is that the image isn't stable.  Upon powering, the screen flickers, and the...

I'm having an issue with my Mac SE where the video goes to a single vertical line (1 pixel thick) after about 20 minutes of use. If I turn it off, and wait about 5 seconds, it comes back, but I really don't like switching it off like that (as it's really not good for the power supply). The...

I had a similar problem with my Macintosh SE, and I have to say, I felt really stupid when I realized that a gentle push was all I needed to fix it.

I think it's a driver issue, or maybe a RAM cap within the ROM.  Like you, I have a Mac SE with an accelerator (Radius 16 Mhz, with external display support), and like you I have an additional 4MB installed that my SE can't see.  However, on my card there are two "jumper" spots on one...

I am trying to fix the motherboard to my grandfather's old //e, and have run into a bit of a problem. The board had been behaving rather strangely (not running internal diagnostics when the keyboard was detached, and giving errors for the RAM, and MMU). I've tested the chips on another board to...
