Even the Centris 650, Quadra 650, and Quadra 800 are sync on green machines.

Yeah, only the later //c, IIc+, and IIgs can daisychain floppy drives, since they have the smartport setup. ][, ][+, and //e can have two drives off each controller card, if OEM Apple cards are used. The Macs need to have each floppy drive connected to its own port, kinda like a disk ][...

It happens... Right now, the second drive in my SE makes a loud chattering noise when it's plugged in. Head assembly is pushed forward all the way pretty much all the time. If you get the updated ROM chips and the SWIM floppy controller chip, plus a couple FDHD mechanisms, you can turn it...

That right there was my original Mac. A Plus 1/0 with the platinum case. Came with an A9M0106 floppy drive and an ImageWriter II printer, plus the cases for the computer system and the printer. If you can find a non-ADB Kensington Turbo Mouse 3.0, grab it... A nice little upgrade for the...

Adjustment controls are below the tube on the back of the monitor... It should easily return to normal... They're no longer a dime a dozen, so it's worth fixing.

Hard to say. Almost looks like they might've been for an anti-glare screen accessory.

That is kinda amusing. Wonder if my old PowerBook G3 was the same way. Never tried it, though.

Ah, ok. PM'ed you.

Does the machine work normally with the power supply from one of your other IIci machines? If so, then yes, definitely power supply related. I mentioned in a PM to @olePigeon over at the other forums, that I'm planning to upgrade my IIci to a power supply from a Centris 650... A little...

A bit crowded, still no Apple II action (//e is still in the closet), and one of the Macs isn't on, because it shares its keyboard, mouse, and monitor with the IIci currently. L-R: mid-2010 MBP, running OS X 10.9.5; SE dual FDHD, running System 7.5.1 and sitting atop the Centris 650, which runs...

Welcome to the asylum... I'm kind of the black sheep of the family. Don't personally own any Wintel machines at this time, but the rest of the family is mainly Windows-based, so I do work on them. Case in point, last night, reinstalled a printer driver on my father's HP that he reverted back...

All five Macs. G3 and Centris 650 aren't powered up in the photo. In the case of the 650, it's sharing its monitor, keyboard, and mouse with the IIci. The G3, I had its monitor hidden by the MBP. Need a larger table to set everything up on, especially since there's also the //e, which is...

I have seen aftermarket USB-lightning port sync cables that are with a reel mechanism in the past... So, they are out there. Re: the truck, our old Ford Exploder would do something similar if the tank was low and it was parked facing downhill. Apparently, in Ford's wisdom, they decided to put...

Looks like fun... (yes, sarcasm intended) Anyway, should be nice once it's done, plus the house will be worth more. I do have a suggestion... Replace at least one of the electrical outlets with the duplex/USB charging outlets... Been doing that on our house, replacing at least one outlet in...

*skip* lol All four of my non-Intel Macs are equipped with the meowtoast CR2032 adapters...

In other news, looks like three of the five Sony MP-F75W floppy drives I have are at least mostly useable. One (the drive from the first IIci's case) needs a serious relube job, since it takes a while for the mechanism to drop the disk down onto the spindle. Ejects pretty easily. Once the...

The SE. Dual FDHD setup mocked up. Still need to hunt down the aftermarket SCSI hard drive bracket. I may actually run an 80MB drive in it that came with my second IIci that I just picked up yesterday afternoon and save the 100 for an SE/30 or maybe a Mac II. Details on the second IIci: 8/80...

First image is the G3 accessing the internet for the first time since I received it in 2019. Went to the garden and downloaded a copy of Compact Pro to install on my machines. Second image is the IIci booted, after I'd swapped the SE's 160MB drive into it with System 7 Pro installed, using the...

On a P475, you'd change out the oscillator, if I remember correctly. It's more like a IIsi. The 650 board has a resistor at either R151 or R152, depending on if it's a Centris or a Quadra, respectively. If the LED is removed from the board, it then becomes a Quadra 800 board, after the...

Yup. Just swap it into the SE and see if it works there. One thing to check on the SE/30 is the harness between the analog board and the logic board. I've found that my SE has some issues with the harness, verified by flipping it around, so the plug that was connected to the analog board is...
