Hey guys, I recently picked up an Apple 10/100 Base T ethernet card and I popped it in my Performa 6360 in the hopes of connecting the machine to the internet. No dice. I tried in OS 7.6 and 8.1. I did FULL install of the system software for both 7.6 and 8.1 in the hopes that it would...

I have a bad flyback on the analog board for a 128k, 512k, Plus. Would a flyback pulled from a working Mac SE analog board work for this or do I need to find one specifically for the 128k/512k/Plus board?

This may be the most frustrating computer ever. Apparently it was a demo mode, and even has all the store demo software on it. Actually pretty cool. But I digress... I decided to try to modify the IDE drive. Its the only thing on this stupid machine that works. I wanted to see if it would...

Hey guys, I decided to wave the white flag and ask for help with this Performa 6360 that I recently picked up on Fleabay (I know, I know, I'm regretting it) So the computer chimes when I power it on and the HDD works fine. However, the floppy and CD player were unresponsive. When I tried to...

Hey guys, Trying to get my SE/30 to talk to my old MIDI keyboard. I tried using my old Passport MIDI interface. IT works with Mac and my IIGS, but it's old and I sure can't get the SE/30 to recognize it. I don't have any software to go with it. Can someone recommend an interface the would...
