    Help restoring a newly acquired Lisa

    The "click and line" seems to be normal on the Lisa I have and others I've been in contact with. Great progress on getting your machine functional!

    Distorted audio with new MacEffects Thunder PDS accelerator in an LC II

    Accelerators and sound don't always play well together. In the old times there was usually a control panel or init that would modify the sound code to get the timing correct. Don't know if such a thing is necessary for this particular accelerator.

    SE/30 floppy format error

    Update - with more testing, it seems to be consistent with an Error 10 in the Finder. I realize Error 10 can be many,many things...

    SE/30 floppy format error

    I have an SE/30 that I recapped that appears to be working correctly except for one thing. It will read floppies correctly, and will write floppies some of the time, but the rest of the time, and _always_ when I try to format a floppy, it will crash with a "bus error" in the Finder, or just lock...

    Interest Poll: Macintosh Portable RAM Cards

    If I didn't have the MacEffects card, I'd totally be in. If anyone is on the fence about this, you definitely want the extra RAM in your Portable!

    Octane video error

    I am bringing an Octane back to life... Hinv says it has an EMXI video board. Part number 030-1240-003. Machine boots up fine to the splash screen, etc. but when I run the system diagnostics I get the error "RDRAM Quick Failed XIO Slot 12 Part number 030-1240-003 MOT20 Rev C". The research I've...

    I brought one of these to VCFMW last year but can't remember who ended up with it... maybe @Mac84?

    live auction "the apples" at Julien's live

    I skimmed the list. Prices seem fair from what I've seen lately, maybe even a bit low.

    Applied Engineering TransWarp TW1340 - Information Wanted

    I have one of these guys and a Control Panel I can dig up for you that gives you some tools. There's also a product called "Virtual" that will let the SE see the memory on the AE card, so you can have an SE with a 68030 and 16MB of RAM.

    OK - that's not too scary, then :) Put me down as a "YES" for a kit!

    PowerCache Card in IIci -- Why So Slow?

    Wasn't there an app called something like "Memory gobbler" or "grabber" or "eater" that did this for you on the IIci?

    Massive Vintage Apple Haul in Idaho

    Once the pile of snow from the snowplow in front of my third stall melts a bit more, it will be time to get out the '82 RX-7 :)

    IIci with no SCSI

    Also, IIci can be funky with termination power, at least on the internal connector. If you are doing the external device only, I think you need at least a passive terminator on the internal connector.

    400K Floppy Drive Issues

    I found that a drop of xylene (a solvent you can get at a hardware store in the US) does a good job of dissolving the dried up grease on these drives. Just a drop or so from a cotton swab should do the trick. Do this in a well ventilated area! I found that isopropyl alcohol doesn't do a good...

    Macintosh II & IIx replacement battery holders

    In these machines, isn't one battery for the startup circuit, and the other for the PRAM? I didn't think they were both feeding the same circuit, but I could be wrong! :)
