Just as the title says. I recently got a Performa 6205CD that… well… let's just say it had a bit of a dust issue. But I've managed to get it all cleaned out (okay, I'm still working on the floppy drive, but that's not needed to boot). In any case, I managed to get it back together, hooked up a...

Alright! So I got my Beige G3 Desktop up and running. Got it connected to the internet, loaded Classilla, found my old QuickTime Pro S/N, and have begun installing all the apps I wanted to make this a near perfect publishing/bridge machine. I also installed USB and FireWire PCI Cards salvaged...

Just as the title says, I got a beige G3 desktop that won't turn on at all. I also have a mother board, RAM, PSU, and just about all the other innards from a beige G3 tower as well. The Tower board and PSU will boot (despite a battery explosion that took out its case). I even get the little...

Just as the title says. The computer required some minor repairs (mostly age related) but boots perfectly now. I have several original floppies for it, a mouse, keyboard, external 400k drive, and as mentioned, a Tash20 I got for my 512ke. Now I would like to use it with my original 512k. I...

As the title says, I recently got an 'original' Macintosh 512k in pretty good condition, including a mouse and keyboard. The floppy drive has been updated to an 800k and after replacing that infamous gear, it both reads and ejects disks properly. Beyond that, I've replaced the RIFA and reflowed...

Much as the title says. I bought three Macintosh Iici's and a spare motherboard from a local recycler and have been trying to piece together some working machines out of the parts. So far I've got one, but am working to piece together a second. I have a good case, but the previous boar had a...

Not really a huge deal, but it would be nice if I could get this fully functional. Just as the title says, I got a Mac IIci that came with a NuBus video card and an Apple branded IIci Catche Card. It needed a full recap, and the battery was dead (since removed). Other than that, it was just...

Have a Macintosh Iici that suffered a bit of damage to the processor. I managed to remove it. Only lost a bout 7 pads, 4 of which were no contact. With a little bit of luck, I think I can fix this. But I need a replacement. Any suggestions?

Recently got a Rev.2 Apple II board. Originally had AppleSoft ROMs, But the AutoStart had a bad pin (broke off) so I replaced them with an Integer set I had on a II+ board. The board boots to the Machine Monitor, and with a ROM switch card (AppleSoft onboard) in Slot 0, it will go to BASIC. I...

Just as the title says. The screen goes black after about 5 to 10 minutes of use. Hitting it on the side with the analog board will bring it back for a few seconds at best but with diminishing returns every time. The good news is that the computer boots and loads an operating system. SCSI port...

I recently came across the 13 sector ROMs for a Disk II Controller Card and thought I'd give them a try. But before I do, I wanted to know if a 13 and 16 sector card can peacefully coexist on the same computer? Or would I need to designate a separate machine? (not my preferred solution since...

I recently got this board off of eBay and was wondering if it is what I think it is (i.e. an Apple ][ board and not a ][ Plus)? I think it is... At least it looks like one, but the date codes are from 79. The info I found on when the ][ was canceled is contradictory. Some say 79 while others...

I tweaked this program from something I saw on the 8-bit Guy. Managed to get the wave to fill most of the screen, repeat, and end where it begins on the screen. However, I was wondering if I could get it to scroll horizontally across the screen? or draw from right to left? I don't know, I'm...

I have a 48k Apple ][+ with a Z80 and ROM switch card (with original Apple ][ ROMs installed on the card), however, I do not have a language card at the moment. The computer works for the most part, but every so often, it gives me some graphical glitches. It's usually fine for the first hour or...

Recently, I got an Apple ][ Plus in externally decent condition, but internally not so great (lots of dirt and debris, some corrosion on the motherboard). I've replaced the motherboard (tested to work, and boots). The old motherboard has no video signal whatsoever, no beep (did beep for a bit...

Just picked up a Franklin ACE 1000 and I have an issue. The computer powers with a screen full of garbage (various random characters, many inverted, with a few random solid and checkered blocks mixed in), and will beep on power-up most of the time (every so often it's silent). Usually hitting...

Overall, the computer boots, loads programs, passes self-test, and performs very well, but with one small exception. The joystick (a 9-pin CH Mach III I believe) isn't being recognized properly. The board has had some (rather sloppy) work done to it. All of the RAM sockets, as well as the...

So I'm not sure if this is the right place to put this since the monitor is technically a Mac accessory, but I use it with my SE, so here it goes.   I have a Mobius branded legal page monitor that has sat in a storage unit for the past decade.  I finally pulled it out and hooked it up, but all...

So I might be SOL here, but I'm going to ask anyway (and hope for a miracle).  In an attempt to replace the fan in my SE, I detached the anode from the CRT so I could work on the board.  Everything went well.  The new fan works.  However, when I was reattaching the CRT, the tip from one of the...

I'm attempting to recap my Mac Classic's analog board and seem to have lost track of what goes where.  I'm not recapping the whole board just yet, only the ones that were obviously bulging or leaking for the moment as they're the ones that were the most obvious and problematic.  I've managed to...
