I don't think these had batteries on board. Curious, where did you find it?

Not new, but a 1-owner Mac. I found it by searching Craigslists near and far, convinced the seller to have it professionally packed (it came from Maine to Pennsylvania), and had it packed as a box-in-box.

I usually don’t post conquest pictures, but this one was too good not to share. Got it for just $200 plus shipping. It will need caps but otherwise looks good!!

This is something I haven't seen before and definitely will try--I have a spare PSU sitting around and will pop it in there sometime! Now I have a re-capped Classic doing the same thing...could it be something similar, maybe with the analog?

They used them even later than that...I have an iMac G4 I really need to open up sometime; it's been in storage for a few years and I know it's only on its second battery...

You'll also have to re-cap the power supply. I recommend re-capping both the logic board and power supply, which should solve your problems.

After years of wanting one, I finally snagged a Color StyleWriter 4100 (the HP rebadge) on eBay in excellent condition. I have some experience with late 90s HP printers on Windows, all of which has been positive, so I'm curious, what have people generally thought of the 4100/4500 on the Mac? How...

I'm having some issues with AppleTalk on a few machines. Both are re-capped, so we can set that issue aside right now. The first is an LC. This one has never worked on a network, even with its original board. (I'm not sure if the original board was the one I got re-capped or if I put another...

The TI-89 also has a 68000! Now I'm tempted to try to do more with mine besides just teach calculus with it!!

Following. I have a 550 with no sound. It hasn't been re-capped though, as I just got it on Saturday.

To me it makes more sense for the IIc, which also has its own bag but has a keyboard built in and can be attached to any TV. Still, if I need to go somewhere in a hurry, I can always put the LC in the bag and take it with me!! 

Yes, those are Mac monitors. The easy way to tell a IIGS monitor is the power light. On a Mac, it's a rectangle. On a IIGS, it's a parallelogram, with the short sides parallel to the top and bottom of the display.

Which operating system are you running? Word wins for features and compatibility. The two newest Classic OS versions of Word, 98 and 2001, use the same .doc format as their PC counterparts; newer versions can export to this and import it even today. (Unfortunately, neither can read .docx)...

There exists a bag specifically for the LC and a 12" monitor. I actually have one of these--got an LCII in it some time ago.

Regarding my use of MacDraw II...I first used it Summer 1991 on my dad's Mac Classic and still have a disk with the files I made on it. I got a copy the following year with my LC and have since acquired a few more copies to use on the iBook and an SE. I used it actively for many, many years...

So I found a copy of Claris Cad on eBay. It arrived today and while I haven't installed it on a Mac just yet (I'm thinking of putting it on the 5200 I'm buying next week--go ahead and tell me how bad the 5200 is; frankly, I'm buying one for pure nostalgia) but did read through the books I got...

I've used three cartridges and the alcohol trick, so I'm guessing the contact may be the issue. I could always find another StyleWriter and swap some parts around to see if it would work.

Sadly, no...still looking for solutions here!!

Here's an idea for anyone who is good with HyperCard and MacroMind Director...how about a challenge to see who can come up with a new expansion room for Spelunx? The program was designed to be expanded, as evidenced by the builder. All copies of Spelunx came with just three rooms, but...

Has anyone here used Claris CAD? I'm looking to do a little drafting in the near future and with programs like AutoCAD being what they are (expensive, hard to use) I'm wondering how Claris's offering was. I haven't used it myself, but I do remember hearing it was basically "MacDraw on steroids"...
