I just wanted to add I did get another quote from www.ovaga.com that came in at $120. Again a bit steep, but it is another source if someone is looking for one.

I did some checking and was able to find a reliable source for purchasing one of these. I did find one other source but it was double the cost. Here is the weblink for a company in the Netherlands. Origineel Motorola XC68851RC16 MC68851 – Van Dijken Elektronica You cannot purchase directly...

Awesome and thanks!

I found out you need PAL SIMMs if you want to use more than 8MB of ram on the Macintosh II. There are some on Garrett's Workshop on Tindie, but are currently out of stock.

I just acquired a Macintosh II. Installing 8x4M 30-pin SIMMs, I get a black screen and a sad mac tone. 8x1MB 30-pin SIMMs work just fine. It does have the FDHD upgrade but, still has the Apple AMMU installed. The ROM version is $0178 according to the info screen in SpeedOMeter. So is this a ROM...

Here is a video on the Tech Time Traveller YouTube channel that covers this computer and the history of ComputerLand. A very interesting video.

I have a spare Tandy 1000 Enhanced keyboard I could get to you. It's missing the two risers on the bottom, but otherwise is fully functional. Let me know if you want to proceed with that?

This must be the Tandy 1000 SL I gave to a friend who gave it to you. Well anyway.... I have a couple of converters I use for my Tandy 1000 SL/2, TL/2 and TL/3 computers. Just look for the seller geralds_retro_pc on eBay. Those are the ones I have and they work without issue. There are...

I recently picked up this computer at the local FreeGeek Twin Cities for only $120. You don't see these too often. It was ComputerLand's first house brand computer released in 1986. It was manufactured by Sambo Computer in Korea where it was sold as the TrimGem 88. What made this computer...

Awesome, that is exactly the information I needed. I am going to order an adapter from Amazon for only $10. Mine appears to have a plug in for power on the back, if not I should be able to solder this internally with no issue...

I am looking for a power adapter for a SimCheck INN-8448 ram tester. I believe it takes a E87297 Plug-In Class 2 Transformer. Does anyone know a specific source for getting this? I have seen different variations online I am not sure which one to purchase.

I certainly hope that is not the case.

I am in the process of acquiring this computer from a seller in Bulgaria. I have only read about Pravetz computers, but what I found so interesting about this one is that is IBM PC compatible with a 80186-8 CPU. The computer is listed as in perfect working condition. I am very anxious to get it...

The response I got back from MacEffects was that the issue is most likely due to issues with the sound chip at UB10. I checked that area with a 30x loupe and did not see any corrosion. They offered me a replacement accelerator or a refund, but I think it is something with the logic board at this...

I just picked up a MacEffects Thunder PDS accelerator. With the accelerator installed the audio is distorted. Has anyone else had this problem with an LC II and a accelerator installed? If so, any known workarounds?

The 2D performance of the card was extremely slow, much slower than the onboard video. The video acceleration was not working even when it was supposedly enabled. The card works just fine under OS X, so I know the card itself is just fine. It just did not play nice with OS 9.

I finally threw in the towel trying to get the video card working on OS 9. That being the case I did the next best thing. I installed a Sapphire Radeon 7000 64MB PCI card. That is working just fine and is at least much better than the Rage Pro Turbo 6MB onboard video.

Here is a list of the ATI Extensions I am currently using.

I will get a list together and let you know.
