They are quite hard to find ,however if you do an EU wide search you might get luckier. I got mine from Belgium for a fair price. On the other side, you could also buy them from ebay US, although of course the posting might be a little pricey or too slow. However, you can always use an SCSI to...

Does it have to be apple branded?

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...

It is indeed sad news. The site is really, really useful, and well organised. I think it should be mirrored instead of saved in a wiki format. It should be preserved the way it was, if anything the links could be fixed, but the format should be kept. I wonder how big is it, I do have a bit of...

Well to be honest JDW, they need it less! Think about it, where the hell are you going to find a working profile or widget drive? Finding a decent SCSI drive for your SE/30 is relatively cheap and easy. Therefore, there is less incentive to develop one. On the other hand, I have my Lisa...

I've replaced the ram with 'new' 4x1mb dims and the SE/30 has been working perfectly (no pattern anymore, which occurred with the original 8x256k dims). However I still don't get a start up bong, I closely inspected the capacitors mentioned in the guide and they don't seem to be leaking. Could...

well obviously I wasn't referring to my own post! but a third party looking for questions about the topic

It's not as easy to find topics in old posts as you think it is JDW. It does seem to be a hot topic so I agree with your suggestion of making it a sticky. Anyway, the point of this forums are to talk about old macs, I'm sure at heart you really enjoy showing your knowledge by explaining (quite...

I had a quick look and nothing seems to be leaking, I'll inspect the thing closer today. If I do need to replace them, does anybody know where I can get those capacitors in the UK? I doubt Maplin will have them

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...

Well as far as I know you can't use AFP over Appletalk (as opposed to tcp/ip) in Leopard. However, you could use ftp with your classic's. I use FTP to share files with my macintosh plus over ethernet and MacTCP. You can run machttp or ftpd in system 7.0.1 to be able to mount their volumes on...

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...

I didn't know that worked on System 6!! Good to know, i'll try it out. Well, vmac doesn't cut it since i'm using my dayna ethernet card and I want to take some screenshots.

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

You were right! thanks for the help! However there are a few more problems: Initially, running ncsa telnet didn't work because I was using addresses of the like of 10.0.0.x with a netmask of 255.255.255.0. When I changed it to 192.168.0.x it worked (also the numbers of bits and bytes and that...

I don't actually have any tcp application running, which one should I try, ncsa telnet?
