    Apple /// - Titan /// +2 Board Set is cloned and ready

    Perfect. That means it'll run Micro$oft Multiplan without messing up the inverse capital letters in the menu at the bottom...

    Apple /// - Titan /// +2 Board Set is cloned and ready

    If I can get my /// back from a buddy of mine, yeah, I'd definitely be interested. I forget, do the Titan cards have unenhanced //e ROM code, or enhanced?

    Macintosh IIfx Success Story

    Think the cheapest fx I paid for was the one I bought in 2014 from RE-PC for $50, plus tax. Mainly bought it for the case, so I could retire the regular Mac II case I was using for the fx board I owned at the time.

    live auction "the apples" at Julien's live

    Am kinda tempted by the unmodified IIfx. Seems like it's still fairly cheap.

    Quadra 650 drive chassis

    I haven't tried this with mine, but try turning on 1,4,6, and 7 on your adapter. Possibly that it might work fine. One of the members at the 68kMLA forums did that while trying to diagnose non-working video on his IIci. Started working perfectly.

    Quadra 650 drive chassis

    Probably a monitor that doesn't support Sync on Green. My Centris 650, shown running a Dell flat panel...

    A few Apple IIgs items. AE GS-RAM Plus with 1MB of RAM currently installed, Apple A2M6016 monochrome monitor with its cables, Apple A9M0107 5.25 drive, and a ReActive Micro 2 AAA battery adapter to replace the clipped BRAM battery. -J

    Quadra 650 drive chassis

    Ok, so, yeah, pretty much need the whole shebang. A IIcx, ci, or Q700 power supply will work in a pinch. Might not have enough oomph to run the CD-ROM drive, as well as a hard drive, floppy drive, etc, but will at least let you test the board out to see if it works. Are you also on the 68kMLA...

    Quadra 650 drive chassis

    Are you talking about the platform that the hard drive and floppy drive sit onto, or the metal sled that holds the floppy drive itself? Even though the Q650 has the "fish lips" floppy disk slot, you can use a Sony MP-F75W with the Mac SE/II style bracket in it. The only issue is that you might...

    Picked up a junker LPS240S Quantum drive with the Apple ROM on its board. Took the board and installed it on the Digital-branded LPS240S that I got from @kernspaltung last year. As some of you may be aware, the drive stopped working after the activity LED from a IIci was attached, then the...

    What I've received as of late...

    Just received an LCIII from @AppaloosaMac over at the 68kMLA forums. Everything seems good on it, except, of course, for the floppy drive, which needs some servicing done as per usual. 36MB of RAM, 40MB Conner hard drive, with System 7.5 installed.

    Tested the board. Nubus circuitry is good. So, just need to do a recap, and I should be good to go.

    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.
