I've got mine connected to my Iicx running A/UX 3. After tons of reading man pages for 'printcap' and 'termio' I got it working as a line printer. Had to change dip switches 7 (for lower baud 1200) and 8 (for XON/XOFF) because hardware flow control would not work. Here's the printcap entry if...

SOLVED: it occurred to me to try a roll of thermal fax paper. That worked! I do not know why the first thermal paper (tractor feed) did not work. Prints beautifully.

Did you get this sorted? There is a man that works from The Cayman Islands who has a very good reputation according to forums. I could look to find his contact info if needed. I just sent him a few things a couple weeks ago myself.

I just acquired this Apple Scribe printer from FleaBay, good price, nice condition. The two ribbons I had broke within minutes, common from what I've read due to their age. I understand the printer will print without a cartridge on thermal paper. I don't find this to be true. After doing the...

Anyone here willing to do a power supply recap/refurb for me? (for a fee obvi)

Do we know anyone who offers the service of rebuilding batteries? (specifically my stock battery for 5300cs)

Anyone have a recommendation for a replacement power supply for the Apple Modem 300 or the 1200? The power port has two or three prongs (hard to tell from the photo on fleabay).

Can someone recommend a source for recap service? I have used AllCaps and it was returned non-functional. Then sent three of them off to Charles Phililps in May 2018 and they still haven't been returned. Also, I believe I have a blown SCSI or blown fuse after connecting an external CD with a bad...

I've got my late 2003 iBook G4 (800 MHz, 12") running OS 9 pretty well. I understand Apple never made a driver for Airport Extreme to run under OS 9. I read somewhere there is a driver made by IOXperts that will put me in business. I have searched high and low for it, but can't find it anywhere...

a big thanks to JDW for such a thorough reply. just to be clear i am *not* that dexterous with a soldering tool. in fact, this whole process of cap replacement is new to me. my problem is at C13. there is a white box running around the space where the old cap was. i am looking in that general...

i have 220uf 35v for 220uf 16v can i use this ? and the surface pads have come up off the board for one of them. how will i make a good connection now for that capacitor?

the tantalum ones are not marked positive or negative. how do i know which end is which ?

I received my replacement capacitors from Trag (thanks, Jeff) and have started to solder this morning. I have three finished, when I decided to put the board back and try it out. One of the capacitors exploded. I immediately unplugged the unit, and have redone this one capacitor three times...

it just seems strange that it only causes the problem in one of the machines, not both. i will replace the capacitors on both of my boards and post the results.

hmm...interesting that you and DogCow had opposite situations with regards to the resolution. i will see what happens when i'm back home and can try it out. i feel like the "green" thing to do would be to try to repair this and keep using it, but the truth is i know nothing about monitors. i...

I have an internal Assante ethernet that works with one of my SE/30 units. I have moved it to the other one, and this causes a boot error. I have washed the board, and will be replacing the capacitors that Trag sent to me. I'm hoping this will correct the problem. Any ideas why the card would...

I have an Apple //c with orig ROM. I have done the bootstrap via serial cable to my G4 laptop by way of USB - serial connector, and successfully pushed over .DSK images. After amking three or four disks, I now get an I/O error on the //c. it will not read or write any disks at all. I have read...

This monitor was given to me by a friend who had it stored for a few years. I was surprised that it came on right away and has a beautiful picture...until about a week ago. Now I have three very bright vertical lines, and it also made some noise at the onset of this problem. In additional to the...

what version of OS is it running? I can't recall the minimum required for CD support. Might be 7.1 (?)

phreakout - thanks for your reply. based on the article i mentioned earlier (re: mac II in same situation) i was thinking it could be F1 or F2. I have located these on the logic board. F1 it is.... i have two of these SE/30 machines, as you do. the one with blown ADP ports also has no sound...
