My uncle has a 512 that will not accept input from a keyboard or mouse? (Both known good kB and mouse). Logicboard does boot to finder just fine, crt looks great. does anyone one know what chips/components lie along this/these io paths? thx

Hey hunter44102! Great link! (for the sake of the original poster) Wish I had found it or it had been up when I was fiddlin' with the SE/30. I gave all my old Macs to my Uncle Steve (Who really collects Macs) and have gone pretty much Amiga and Apple IIgs w/ a smatter ing of 8-bit A2, C64...

This may or may not help... I had an SE/30 and bought a ROMINATOR II and had some very interesting results: -It booted just fine from the ROM ([apple]+[r]) -It would refuse to boot from SCSI with any system higher than 7.1 -It would boot higher versions of 7 from floppy and would install...

"There is no point in running a SCSI-2 drive on an Apple II. Its simply too slow to take advantage of it" Sure man, a given, BUT I am configging this thing ALL WHICH WAYS to see if I can get the thing to fully work with ANY machine I have... I have not had much luck. I've been trying to put...

thx!

I am happy to report v5 works great. I have a Rom1, apple scsi card (rev c clone), and I run a scsi2sd (v5) just fine, even bus-powered. Works great with my ROM 3 too! scsi2sd v6 is another story. It formats fine but locks up when I try to write with scsi2 enabled. I will be experimenting more...

Of the top of your heads, could one swap a classic II monitor into an se/30? (Well splicing on connectors anyway) Thx

Sweet dudes! Thanks! Won't run on a 128k :) Seems appropriate sitting here is a foot and a half of snow in Salt Lake City Utah! Gotta try the files. Uncle has a a 512, plus, SE, SE/30, gonna get him to try it on his Color Classic!

Hello All,   My Uncle got his hands on an original Mac (Pre-128 Badge).   I was wondering if anybody knows where I might find the original demo program for his display?   (Or any of the early in-store demo programs for that matter)   Thx

I must say this too, though it pains me. I am aware of the reason(s) the IIgs shipped @ 2.8mhz... That being said, it's a wonderful machine, but it's a wonderful machine that is painfully, tearfully, and sometimes disastrously slow. :( (Think a C64 w/ 1541 disk drive... Frustratingly, "Get up...

Well, back to the drawing board. I swapped in a known good Character ROM and even a known good 65C02 (Both from a Platinum IIe)... Netted same results...  Prob, just let it slide away... got too many projects now.

IIgs for the most software options, neat sound, computers and extras are spendy. IIe for expandability (playing with cards. IIc/IIc+ for small footprint. It really depends on if you want the 16-bit IIgs stuff. If not? My Vote is IIc/IIc+ (There is a guy making mockingboards for IIc now :) )...

Great! I have a spare platinum IIe motherboard. I'll try for the swap, dunno why I didn't think of it??? ????

SO I have a new project IIc. When I power it up I get no disk drive spin, just power and vertical color bars. After disassembling it I found an anomaly at the location of the character ROM socket. The socket is a 28-pin. The chip in it is 24-pin, labeled 342-0265-A, and if i move it around...

BUT... will it work with a IIc Plus? ???? Be as snappy as you like. ????

Interested in trades ;)

Just got an SE/30. Noticed when sharply tapped (like the insert action of the auto insert drive), the screen flickers and will even ghost Windows and icons. A small flick of the finger straightens in all out. Waiting on a torx to open it up, in the meantime any guys out there with pointers...

What a bummer! I was so phyched when I saw the prototypes priced at $777.77??? :( This is truley sad.

I have heard that the presence of a comm slot card in a 575 disables the PDS. Your mileage may vary. BUT THERE IS A SOLUTION! IIe card in the PDS + a Farellon serial (appletalk) to ethernet bridge. I have one. (I beieve a couple other companies may have made these as well. Honestly I never...

I'm right there with you on the transwarp clone! I'll order minute they release!
