    What I've received as of late...

    Conquested another IIci logic board. One with an uncorroded 74ALS240 chip at UH1. May have better luck with this one. Needs recapping. In retrospect, should've just left my IIci's old board in it and had that recapped, instead of messing around with the board that was recapped, but with the...

    A battery bombed SE stored in a garage for years

    Does anything change if you move the analog board to logic board harness at all? My SE was showing the weird artifacts before I changed out the harness for a different one. It didn't show the jailbar pattern, which, according to the Repair Mac site for the SE/30, says is RAM related...

    Macintosh IIfx Success Story

    Not bad. The floppy drive issue might be the zero track sensor being out of alignment, if you haven't checked it yet.

    Sony Trinitron CPD-1320 next up on the bench

    I used the similar CPD-1304S with a few of my machines in the late '90s - early 2000s. Decent monitor. Basically a multisync version of the M1212 Apple Macintosh Color Display that can be used without the tilt/swivel stand. My old 1304S, next to a PowerMac 8500/120.

    System 7.1.2 68k = / = System 7.1.2p?

    It may be that it requires use of the correct enabler file. In which case, I wonder if someone takes a PPC version of 7.1.2, adds the enabler for a Quadra 630 or Performa 63x machine, then boots said Q630, if it'll identify itself as 7.1.2p.

    Hello Everyone!

    Welcome to the asylum. Glad you made it over here.

    Sony Trinitron - one of the GREATEST TV and monitor technologies in history 📺

    Wonder if your parents wound up replacing the remote with a newer version. I know we wound up replacing the original RM-735 remote with a RM-732 remote, which was a larger form factor remote that added some buttons for on-screen menu settings that the 2792 didn't support. Ah, that would be my...

    Sony Trinitron - one of the GREATEST TV and monitor technologies in history 📺

    The one we had was this TV: https://images.app.goo.gl/92kw2BGTKDG7KdJH8 Our exact TV can be seen in the background of this photo: We did have the matching stand for it, though. The KV-32XBR95 can be seen here: The 40" TV was this one: https://images.app.goo.gl/D4tvLASb5YKaUTcE9 The...

    Sony Trinitron - one of the GREATEST TV and monitor technologies in history 📺

    Sounds like it might've been either a KV-2792R or 2775R... We had a 2792R that we bought new in 1988 from the old Fredrick & Nelson department store in Bellevue, Washington. Other than the solder joints going cold in the IF assembly twice (once in 1991, then again in 1998 or so), it was a...

    Sony Trinitron - one of the GREATEST TV and monitor technologies in history 📺

    Got an Apple M1212 monitor that I use with both my C650 and my IIci. Other than the Mac SE's built-in monitor, it's the only CRT we have today.

    Problem with IIci and NuBus cards (Solved!)

    Been dealing with the same issue on my IIci... Alas, replacing the chip doesn't seem to have done anything to solve it. Said machine has been recapped twice. Once by a previous owner, and just recently by a friend of mine who's diagnosing the issue on it and another friend's IIci.

    Repairing Mac Plus Sony floppy drive not ejecting

    Interesting. Might explain why the MP-F75W I have installed in an A9M0106 case doesn't eject disks, either via the button or via the Macintosh finder when connected to a Mac.

    What I've received as of late...

    Yep. Letting a friend of mine work on the IIci, since he has the soldering tools necessary to do whatever is necessary to get it fixed. The IIgs needs some drives, a memory expansion card, and a monitor to be complete.

    What I've received as of late...

    Picked up a RasterOps 8/24XLi video card off the 'bay for $58.50, plus ship and tax. Have it installed in the C650 for now, even though that machine does 16 bit color natively. Eventually, it'll go into the IIci, once that computer's Nubus slots are functional again. Next weekend, probably...

    BTW: welcome to the asylum, Dustin. Glad you finally made it over here.
