    Question about ZIP drive eject function

    I just got a ZIP 100 drive and I’m checking the unit before definitely keeping it but I don’t have any Mac to connect it now. If I power the drive and I insert the disk it will not eject it. Is this normal? Should it eject the disk when the SCSI cable is not connected? Thanks!

    MAC SE/30 CRT problem

    Hello, Your CRT seems fine, this seems to be a problem known as "Simasimac" (Google for it). Sometimes is related to the RAM, so my first try would be to remove all the SIMMs and test it with known working RAM. If not, just install what you have again, maybe trying to fill only one bank of...

    Problem with ImageWriter II (Power Supply dead?)

    Hello, yesterday I was using the printer and suddenly it made a weird noise and all died. It's a first generation ImageWriter II (the one without the "ImageWriter II" serigraphy and that weights a ton). No LEDs are lighting at all and when I push the power button I can hear a faint "thump"...

    Printing in Color

    Grüezi! Although I'm more in the "Bon jour" part of Switzerland... ;) I found a guy in 68kmla that posted about the exact problem back in 2008... but he didn't update about the solution... I'm pretty sure it's a power-related issue... So now I have a new unexpected project to work on...
