    Macintosh IIci video sync problems with modern LCDs

    I use a 1908FP Ultrasharp with my G4 DA... Works well on that. Also wasn't too bad on the LCIII I owned until recently.

    Macintosh IIci video sync problems with modern LCDs

    Hmmm, that's odd. Can you get access to a CRT monitor, like the one shown in my avatar (the M1212 14" Macintosh Color Display)? I'd try something like that and see if the VampireVideo starts working.

    IIgs Expansion Card Recommendations

    Currently, mine has an AE GS-RAM Plus in the memory expansion slot, and an Apple II High Speed SCSI card in slot 7. All other slots are set to their default port settings, so not in use. For the most part, unless you're planning on using a parallel printer, either a disk ][ 5.25" drive or a...

    Quadra 650 Battery Bomb Repair

    You'd need Mac Identifier to get the exact model shown. That said, under 7.6.1, both versions of Mac Identifier seem to crash the system at boot. I think 7.5 is the last version that properly identifies the Mac without neededing the extension or control panel installed.

    Not only vintage Computers

    lol, nice. In my case, it made sense, since Doc Brown hit his head against the sink in the bathroom, then came up with the idea of the flux capacitor.

    When I was a kid, I thought they called it the Klutz capacitor... lol

    Rescuing data from a Mac Portable HD on another Mac?

    I had similar issues with the Conner 40MB drive that came out of my LCIII. Centris 650 wouldn't see it. On a whim, I fired up HD SC Setup 7.3.5 and clicked the Update button to update the driver. Immediately after I did that, the drive mounted. Said drive is now in a fellow 68kMLA member's...

    Web-browser based Apple OS emulation….

    I think the reason why there are so few reactions on this thread is because there has been at least one thread posted about it earlier, either here or over at 68kMLA. I do have the sites bookmarked on my MacBook...

    Mac SE 2 FD - patterns

    Any change in display patterns if you wiggle the harness between the analog board and the logic board? My old SE would randomly display a checkerboard pattern. Found that one or two of the wires in the harness were losing connection when it'd do the checkerboard pattern. Thought it was the...

    Not only vintage Computers

    Looks to be a clean example. Supposedly, even the LT1 350s can get 25-30 mpg in normal driving. It might be possible to swap in a T56 when you decide to go manual.

    What I've received as of late...

    Traded the 40MB drive that came in my LCIII to @jdcurry over at 68kMLA for a BMOW ROMinator II. Disabled the RAM check, so I no longer have to wait a minute for my IIci to display video at time of boot.

    Quadra 650 drive chassis

    Decided to part out my Centris 650. If you still need the sheetmetal drive bracket assembly, let me know.

    Massive Vintage Apple Haul in Idaho

    Much better. Guess you can install some games on it and put it into service as well.

    What I've received as of late...

    Three SCSI drives from @PotatoFi. Gave the 365MB Lightning to a buddy on 68kMLA, then installed the other two drives in my IIci and my Centris 650.
