    Sun SPARCstation 1+ help needed (SOLVED)

    Both Sun keyboards/mice and the 13W3 adapters to VGA can be found on eBay. Or I can send you a keyboard/mouse - I have plenty! Not handy to me now, but if you search for the Sun NVRAM FAQ it will tell you more about what you need to do to fix that problem. And, if you want to sell or trade...

    Yeah - feels like hardware to me, too.

    Clamshell iBook no ethernet link

    I came into a first gen clamshell iBook recently. First thing I did was toss in an OS 9 disk and wipe and re-install the OS. For the record, I believe it was 9.04. There was no Airport card in the machine, so I plugged in an ethernet cable but got no connectivity. Looking at my switch, I don't...

    VCF East this weekend in Wall, NJ

    I have what I think are all the pieces for a PC Transporter for the IIgs; I need to pull them all together and see if I can get it all running.

    LaserWriter 2 Paper feed issues

    Well, a cleaning of the pickup rollers with a damp cloth and some Q-tips, and inexplicably a different toner cartridge seems to have gotten things sorted out, at least in the short term! After cleaning the rollers, it was still having trouble picking up paper, but when I changed out the toner...

    LaserWriter 2 Paper feed issues

    I think my friend "up on the hill" at the local college might have a small stash of Federon, but I don't know if he'll share :)

    LaserWriter 2 Paper feed issues

    I'm reviving a LaserWriter 2. I got a new "power block" (also known as HP Power module RG9-0205 - $25 on eBay) so now the printer powers up successfully. When feeding paper from the tray, the pickup roller gets it about an inch into the printer and then the paper stops. If, however, I feed paper...

    Nice - fixing a couple of these is on my "to-do" list. Good to have a guide.

    VCFMW?

    There certainly was a good vibe going at the show - people really enjoyed being there physically. I was happy to see that almost without exception everyone was masked, and liberally using the hand sanitizer that was available all over the venue. I know I enjoyed seeing old friends and new...

    VCFMW?

    Anyone else going to VCFMW this weekend? I'm planning to be there with a couple of friends. Looks like our tables will be very near the "free pile" - hope that's not dangerous - the goal is to come home with less than I bring! Apple stuff I'm going to have for sale include a Lisa with a bad...
