I finally managed to boot my powerbook 100 Before I used to get a black screen, while now I can boot it from a floppy. However the harddrive seems dead. I was wondering which type of hard drive do I need to get? is it any scsi laptop hard drive?

I was wondering if anybody had a copy of Switcher, the multitasking utility written by andy Hertzfeld that preceded MultiFinder. I've been trying to find it around the Internet without luck.

I was wondering if this mac 512k on ebay is fixable. The image looks similar to the simasi pattern on the SE/30 but it ain't quite the same. If I acquire this 512k, do you think that some capacitor replacing would fix it? I have a plus that I could use as a donor if needed...

Hi, Some of my machines are running System B1 6.0.7 (british) and B2-7.5.3 (british). In the case of system 6, the machine is lacking some software I would like to install, however Apple only has system 6 in american english (god help us is my machine starts saying color instead of the...

Hi, I have an SE/30 which suddently stop working, and when powered on I see the classic simasimac pattern (as described here http://www.biwa.ne.jp/~shamada/fullmac/repairEng.html#SimasiMac), that is black and white horizontal stripes. I did what the guide said and removed all the ram and rom...

Hi, As you know some apple IIc's have 3 1/2 drive. When using adt pro to copy files, I am unable to write a 5 1/2 inch drive image on to the 3 1/2 inch floppy. Since the vast majority of images are in this format, I was wondering if there is a way to convert 5 1/4 inch floppy images to 3 1/2...

Hi, I've been networking my mac plus to my macbook (using an scsi ethernet adapter) and I've been playing around with different settings. Various websites mention that I should install Network Software Installer 1.4.5 and AppleShare for Workstations 3.5 in order to network my mac. however, with...

Hi, I'm looking for some software for System 6 that would allow me to take screenshots, any ideas?

Hi, I've got a Dayna EN/SC network adapter on my mac plus, and I have instaled the drivers on System 6.0.8. When it comes to appleshare over ethernet everything works fine. However I'm trying to make it ping my macbook to see if I can use some Internet software on the mac plus while only...

I have a powerbook 100 that when started up chimes, but then it fails to boot. If I put a floppy on its external floppy drive it will eject it (no matter what's the content). I disconected the internal drive (just in case it's dead) but the only difference is that it doens't attempt to read...

Ok, ok, i know it's not an apple, but well it's retro! I just got today a BBC Master in mint condition! I haven't played with it much yet but it does look quite cool. I'll have to ask for game recomendations and other programs from all those of you who are BBC enthusiasts. I was wondering...

Mine is the mac plus! it´s the one i used first, and it´s definately the one that was really powerful for its time. Besides it was the longest mac to be in the production line. My second favourite has to be the SE/30 simply because of it power and expandability (a bit limited though).

I've been trying to find a suitable replacement for my lisa 2's floppy drive (it didn't come with one). I have tried an SE 800k and a Plus 400k floppy drive. What happens is that the drive keeps trying to eject a floppy (even is there's nothing there) all the time. SO it's constantly doing the...

I finally got an apple lisa! Although without a floppy drive or hardrive. It works, just need o figure out how to get a floppy drive and/or HD besides seeing if it's possible to cram the OS on a floppy.

I just obtained a working Lisa 2! Mine is the one that does not have an external parallel port. However there are a few things missing :( Most notably the floppy drive. When I power on the lisa it does its system test ,and well since there is not HD or floppy drive i can't do much else...

When I use some program on the apple IIe (some high res program I think), the pictures look ok but the text is all giberish unreadable. For example when I run GEOS the icons look fine, but the text is all giberish for some reason. I get the same problem with Battle Chess for example. I tried...

Right, it's not the most amazing conquest of all, but well it took ages to get here from the US!! I've been trying GEOS on my apple IIe and using my mac plus mouse. Was the mouse bundled with the mousecard exactly the same as the original macintosh mouse?

Hi, I'm trying to learn 6502 assembler programming for the apple iie, but I'm having a hard time finding documentation. I've found some 80s tutorials in text format but they're far from useful. Can anybody point me to the right direction? Cheers, Nahuel

As said before on a previous thread, a recently acquired an apple iie. I've been playing around with it during the last couple of days. The only minor problem is that the last time i used an apple II I was 5 years old. That means, that I can only remember some games from that era. I've...

I recently finally got an apple IIe. However I find myself without any knowledge about the machine (last time I used one I was about 5 :p ) Anyway, after some time reading faqs in apple 2 websites I came to the conclusion that I would need an apple II super serial card (or communication card)...
