I am on a similar journey. I had a 17" back when they were new and finally recycled it, and now wish I didn't. On the lookout for a good 17 again, but in the meantime, got this 15. Has a couple shadows toward the center of the screen that seem to go away or become not noticeable once the...

I would like to try but the leads were not hooked up so not absolutely sure where they go. I am *pretty sure* but want to know more before hooking something up and frying something. Haven't had time to further research. The white wires were connected to a fitting on the other side of the ram...

Prior owner said he bought it from Joe' Computer Museum, which website lists the firmware, and did not flash it with anything different. So stock from Joe's.

With regard to sound, I understand now that the line out/headphone out is mono and that you need to get a different sound card for stereo. Anyone have any suggestions? I see something on Joe's Computer Museum, but they look to be out of stock right now.

Not even sure. It just works as I received it. I will figure it out and report back within the next few weeks as I have contact with the seller. It has been in my //e, and I just moved it over to the //gs to try it out there. Didn't do anything other than plug it in a slot.

And yeah, with this, and the other //e I collection I already had, that you can see a couple pieces of in one of the first pics, I figure I have a fairly complete Apple // collection. I had wondered about getting a MacEffects stealth kit, but now that I have both these, I like them each for...

I will look up where to find that number and look for it. Thanks! Regarding the card, there is that tan wire that was connected to the front right of the board, I believe (forgive this newbie, I am learning) and maybe should be connected to the upper left of that card. There is another...

I was well on the Mac path by the time this machine was made and never really had any Apple // experience at all. Lots of interesting little quirks and things to learn about with this machine, and its alternate universe Apple Computer pathway that ended not long after it was likely made!

Kinda lucked into this. Don't know much about it yet. I hooked it up at first to the side by side drive I have for my IIe to try it out. I took the little RaspberryPi HDMI card out of the IIe to try out in this machine also. I got that Monitor /// free with the stand at our computer event in...

Well, at the very least, if I am involved in any transactions that generate from over there, I will try to move those conversations over here or into some other pipeline, rather than wondering when the comms lines might go down next. Unreliable. I experienced it myself recently in the longer...

Look for Jeff from Boise and the treasure Valley vintage computing club!

Yeah, sure enough. Just tried to log on now and nuttin'.

Saw that. I think I like the size I just got, so not sad I didn't wait.

Came in last night, up and running! All very new to me. I do have an Atari joystick I can use so will explore when I have time. Have to get back to work now. Was just glad that was so easy to set up on a quick work break. Will get a properly size/ratio screen down the road. Not worried...

Bumping this as I have two monitors to fix due to hinge failure, and another which is not broken, but I need to tighten the hinge as it splays out fully. Just marking this for myself.
