A while back I got this kit from ebay for my IIgs https://www.ebay.com/itm/235645917276 It was the same situation to hook it up in my IIgs.

    Thanks everyone for the input on the printers and scanner I dont want to reply directly to everyone since there was alot of you, but ive pretty much decided ill hold onto them all with the exception of the big and bulky laserwriter.

    I found an Apple ImageWriter II, Apple Stylewriter, Apple Personal LaserWriter LS, and an Apple Scanner. No cords for anything and the stylewriter is missing the tray(s) its just the body. Worth keeping?

    I was checking it out and theres a label on the bottom that says "1.1 GB/20 MB - Bad Screen" So we're now in the same boat Lol it probably shit out when it was new and spent 30 years in that Duo Dock. Is it possible to still use the laptop with the Duo Dock?

    I grabbed one of the 3 Duo Docks, the one with the laptop stuck in it. So it turns out this one and one other one are Duo Dock Plus's and the other one is an original Duo Dock. I tried pushing the manual release button on the side to get the laptop out i was shaking it upside down over the bed...

    I decided to test out the SE SuperDrive that I tore down and put a new battery in earlier and to my surprise it was perfect. Screen was bright and crisp, drive was good with all the old files still intact. Responsive and fast, fan worked and it sounded good.

    Novel method for restoring original coloration of Compact Mac cases

    I personally like the yellowing to me its like petina on a bronze statue or that nice green oxidation copper gets. I found that acetone nail polish remover completely de yellows but it melts the plastic if you rub it. I accidently cleaned a big area on my IIe by letting nail polish remover...
