I recently picked up a collection of external APS enclosures missing their power adapters. They use 5-pin mini-din connectors. Unfortunately the enclosures don't say much other than 90-240 VAC 50-60Hz. I tried looking through the apstech.com site on the way back machine but didn't find any...

I'm putting together a post for my site listing common issues with 1980s and 1990s Macintosh systems. I grouped them in to 4 main categories: will not start, starts but has a blank screen, starts and displays an error code, starts and displays a blinking question mark. For the first category...

Thanks Phipli, I looked at this site before and there were so many broken links I gave up. I'll update the links on my accelerator page to the page you found

Did you check out the Daystar site? https://web.archive.org/web/19961102051236/http://daystar.com/Upgrades/RghtChc.html

Would it be possible to upload this CD? I found the 1992 version, and I'm hoping that the 1995 version has a copy of Apple's Technical Information Library on it. I'm trying to track down the 1994 version of Tech Info Library Article Number: 14724.

Going through my collection of Apple Information CDs (physical and images found online). Some interesting finds so far: The 1992 Technical Information Source (TIS) version 3.0 contains copies of System Tools 0.1, 0.3, 0.5 as 400k image files, and also has international installation files for...

Thanks everyone, I glued a bit of extra plastic on and now it all works.

I agree, that seems to be the case

Case button looks ok.

When it is turned on the extension at the front of the case is too recessed for the case's button to reach. I currently can only turn this on and off with the case off

On and off photos for the PSU. As you can see the difference is about .5 cm

I did, the picture of the recessed button is the front of the case (not the PSU) when the power is on.

There is a plastic extender in the PSU, and a second that runs through the case, under the floppy to the front. One of them seems to be to short. Based on your picture, it may be the one in the PSU

I picked up a 660av that seems to be missing part of the extension rod that runs from the front of the case to the powered supply, or some other piece. It is to short to toggle the power on and off. Does anyone have a 660av and can take a picture of where the white extension rod in the case...

I wrote a partial guide https://www.savagetaylor.com/2018/01/19/setting-up-your-vintage-classic-68k-macintosh-using-basilisk-ii/

I assume you've tried to message men of the right age with the same name on LinkedIn? I've had success with that in the past

Coincidental timing, I started working on a SCSI basics post a few days ago for my site. I've noticed more and more new members on the FB classic mac groups who don't know how to setup a SCSI chain. Good job here, I knew about the FX and Macintosh Plus weirdness, but some of the other...

Looks like the reset files are on this disk image https://www.jagshouse.com/fkeys.html

I started a page on my site with links to the various documents I've found online https://www.savagetaylor.com/2022/06/06/68k-systems-researching-through-the-internet-archive/#apple_service_guides_1990_to_1997 There are multiple Volume 1s for the service guides, but I assume you mean Apple...

I found that the industrial CF cards all work. They identify themselves as IDE drives.
