Today I got a copy of "Macintosh II Repair and Upgrade Secrets" by Larry Pina. It has the floppy disc with it too.

I acquired a Workgroup Server 9150 today :) An ad on Kijiji offered one for sale, so a 4 hour round trip, a slightly lighter wallet and it's home now. I believe its the 80 MHz version.

The pioneer of the microcomputer has died, and I'm surprised it wasn't noted by someone here (at least a search did not reveal anything). (Henry) Ed Roberts who launched the Altair 8800 kit in 1975 died on April 1 at the age of 68. I just read it in a recent edition of The Globe and Mail newspaper.

After looking through all the topics in this forum, I don't see that this has come up before; my apologies if it has. I have two logic boards, both marked as Classic II and dated 1991 - one numbered 820-0401-A with 4 ROM chips, the other numbered 820-0626-B with 2 ROM chips. The first one (4...

I got a Mac Plus from a Kijiji ad today. $50 with it's keyboard and mouse, and it came with a Kensington System saver and Lacie external HD. Along with it I was given another box of odd bits which included an Iomega SCSI Zip drive and 2 Asante Friendly Net units. Also a couple of those...

This newspaper ad was with the last 128K I got. Price is Canadian Dollars.

Has anyone got any secrets as to unjamming the eject mechanism on a 400K floppy drive? I have removed the mechanism from the electronic parts and tried lubing with penetrating oil, and soaking in a degreaser. It is jammed solid. In fact I have two of them that are jammed this way. Any ideas...

Just got home with a nice conquest: Mac 128K complete with keyboard, mouse, external FD, original disks and manuals. Working well. Imagewriter. Not yet tested. Boxed MacDraw Lots of 3.5" disks Apple publication "Of the 260 million people in North America, only a fraction can use a...

I got an SE today through a Kijiji ad. It is the M5011 version. Came with a Imagewriter II. It may have a HD issue - the red light stays on and I hear nothing for drive sounds. It boots using a floppy though. All in all it looks to be in great shape :)

I acquired a IIvi the other day. Sadly, it expired within the first 5 minutes of being on :( I think the power supply is bad.

I acquired a Powerbook 1400cs today through an ad on Kijiji. Included manuals, system CD and the floppy drive unit, two power supplies and various disks. It's also got the colored paper inserts that Apple supplied to "customize" the look of it. Running System 8.1 with 60 MB RAM and a 650 MB HD...

I just returned home with a Mac Portable! A fellow who gave me some stuff via Freecycle some months ago remembered me and dropped an email my way offering it! It is an M5120 with the numeric keypad instead of trackball. Has the ac adapter but the lead acid battery is not present, so I believe I...

Well the ad said Performa 630 so of course I jumped on that.... got it loaded into my vehicle and realized it's a 6320. Has the monitor, Stylewriter 2500 printer and all manuals and disks. Now what to do??? I am tempted to strip it for parts. Any thoughts? BTW it won't power up - this must be...

Does anyone know if the analog boards are the same in an SE/30 as the other SE models? Thanks!

I answered an ad that said "mac motherboards"... What I brought home was amazing... here is a list. LC575 Clamshell iBook (fairly beat up) Powerbook Duo 230 Another Power Book Duo, in the Duo Dock II (gotta figure out this one) Duo Dock monitor (multisync 15) Classic II mobo (new) SE...

I acquired a Performa 580 today. OS 8.0 16 MB ram, still has 84 MB free in the HD (loaded with applications too). Case is decent shape with no cracks or broken corners. Amazing what some people leave on an abandoned computer....

I was in a thrift store today and found a TRS-80 Pocket Computer (PC-4) for $12.00. It has it's pouch so it's in good shape cosmetically and appears to work.

I got an LC 475 and an LCIII along with a Stylewriter II and two color monitors. Can't get any video from the 475 but the other one works great :)

Today I found OS/2 v 2.1 on 5.25" foppy as well as "Aces of the Pacific" which is some kind of flight simulator / war game (this one is still shrink wrapped!). Gotta love thrift shops :)

Well I did a really stupid thing and unplugged / moved an ADB wire while the SE was on. Now I have no KB or mouse. Dead Mac Scrolls indicates I blew a filter - Apple Part 155-0007-E. Mine has no E however. Would anyone be able to help me source this chip? I googled the Apple P/N but didn't get...
