Hi everyone, I have a (beige desktop) Power Mac G3 with a broken internal hard drive. I'm trying to set up a SCSI2SD v.5.5 with a bootable disk image so I can boot over SCSI. However, I can't seem to get the settings right, and I don't think I'm configuring something properly. Here are my specs...

Hi everyone, I’ve been trying to remember the name of a piece of software I remember using years ago, but I can’t put my finger on it. I’m hoping someone here can point me in the right direction… This software ran on a Power Mac G3 (the flat beige model), on what was probably some version of...

Hi everyone, Well, this stinks. I decided to try out my Dove MacSnap 548 card in my (previously) working 512k, which upgrades the memory to 2MB. After snapping the card on the logic board, I turned on the computer - the boot beep was very distorted and lasted a very long time, maybe around 10...

Does anyone know where I can find schematics for the second revision Classic II motherboard? Part number is 820-0326-B. Thanks!

Hi everyone, I decided it's time to finally fix my broken IIcx! (but I've run into some roadblocks) Originally, the computer wouldn't turn on at all - it would click if I held down the power button, but that was about it. I replaced all surface-mount and axial capacitors on the motherboard...

Hi everyone, I just backed up an Apple III-formated ProFile drive (10MB) to my modern Mac using ADTPro. Does anyone know of a utility program that exists that can read the .po disk image and save each file on the disk as a separate file on my modern machine? I thought of using Ciderpress (which...

Hi all, I used ADTPro on my Apple III to transfer a complete image of a Lisa ProFile drive to my modern Mac. I'd like to use this drive image as a boot device in LisaEm, but the program doesn't seem to recognize it as a valid image. Has anyone successfully done what I'm trying to do here, or...

Since I recapped my Lisa power supply (1.2 amp), I've noticed that vertical lines on the screen that should be sharp are "squiggly" (like a sine wave, almost), and moving up and down seemingly at random. This interference will change when I turn on a ProFile drive nearby, or even when I turn on...

I'm trying to get a Sun20 Hard Drive working in my Lisa 2/10, but I'm having some issues. The drive will spin up, and get to a solid red light (seemingly indicating it's "ready"), but it isn't shown in the boot selection dropdown. If I type Apple-3 to attempt to boot from it, I get an error 85...

I'm trying to fix two PowerBook 165c computers that have torn internal monitor ribbon cables. Sadly, I realize this seems to be a relatively common issue, but I was wondering if any other PowerBook models share the same ribbon cable as the one used in the 165c. Also, does anyone know of any...

I'm in the process of replacing my Lisa keyboard's foam pads, and I realized that the caps lock key doesn't stick halfway down like it should. I'm afraid I may have lost something from the mechanism that makes this work. Does anyone happen to have any detailed pictures of the caps lock assembly...

Hi everyone, I recently got back into my Apple /// repair, and I've come to a point where I need some help. I have the 5V RAM board, 256k model. Earlier this year, I tested my power supply, and although the +12V line was stable, the +5V line was jumping all over the place. I replaced all the...

I recently bought an Apple /// (256k model), Monitor ///, Disk /// external drive, manuals, and software. All of the units are cosmetically in amazing condition (no yellowing, no keys missing, etc). However, the /// itself doesn't work. What's strange is when I first turned it on, the computer...
