Right now we are exclusively using ImageWriter IIs with the older Macs. I have one at home and two for the lab. All of these are equipped with the AppleTalk card. I have another one in the lab storage unit that doesn't work with the network despite a known good card inside (tested on another...

If you were at VCFSE this weekend and tried to use one of my LCIIs, you may know one of them wasn't seeing the network. This happened on two different re-capped boards, so I'm thinking the LocalTalk box I had in there may have been the culprit. I have four extras at home that I can try as a...

I'm going to test a few of these out again this week and will put some wired headphones on them to see what happens.

I have some LC and LCII boards that were recapped over a decade ago by someone who no longer does re-caps that share a similar problem. On the surface, these computers work fine. They run well, they chime upon startup, they do everything you'd expect them to. The problem is that they have an...

Who's coming down to Atlanta? I'm hoping to get one more LC II refurbished in time for the show. I have the parts in hand (and actually had what I needed in a trunk I forgot I had). Life has been crazy lately, but I've got a nice workday afternoon tomorrow. We will have an Oregon Trail...

And I'm officially in. See you in September!!!

Sounds good. I'm mostly just trying to figure out logistics here to see how many tables I get. For the first time in Pittsburgh Classic Mac Lab history, I'm going to have other people run a lab for me back in Pittsburgh while I'm in Chicago. I need to look at allocation of Macs for VCF vs a...

Bumping--been a month since registration opened, still haven't heard anything. Anyone else? I saw someone looking for spare Apple IIs on Facebook today for an exhibit at VCFMW so I was wondering if anyone else had heard anything.

One of my friends from high school reached out to me to ask if I was interested in her old M6498, which she bought new back in 2002. I know this model can boot into OS 9, which makes me want to acquire it (I had bought an A6498 the next year and was really disappointed that it couldn't boot into...

As someone who has a gaggle of LCs, I also have a ton of these matching monitors. I have a few observations and also some questions pertaining to the feasibility of fixing these monitors. First, there are actually three variations of these. The earliest ones made in 1990 and into early 1991...

For the LC models in particular: - The LC and LC II (and Color Classic) come with 256K stock. This is good for 256 colors on a 12" RGB (or the CC's internal display) at a 512 x 384 resolution. Note that this is taller than the B&W compacts, which are at 512 x 342. (Proof of this is the top and...

Bumping--has anyone heard yet about how many tables they were allotted?

So it looks like two new mods were added but no announcement was made.

Is he still mostly Wednesdays as far as availability? Definitely would be up for that!! I could bring a few Macs if you wanted a LAN party :)

Oh wow, I had forgotten about that little quirk. I've heard of the museum in New Ken but haven't been there yet. It could be an option for this. We did host David Pogue once at Carnegie Science Center (now Kamin Science Center). He was in the Omnimax theater (now the Rangos Giant Cinema) and...

Will do. I'm trying to think of where I put my Snooper floppy now. It doesn't Sad Mac at all, so I'm wondering if RAM is really the culprit or if it's something that's just an issue with the board itself.

@JDW I know, I was really shocked when it happened...punished for being helpful? For doing what a forum is supposed to do? @Kai Robinson I definitely will put my name in the hat if it happens!! @Certificate of Excellence I have a lot of ideas for the book and mostly just need to find some time...

Yes, I'd imagine me being here is a bit of an issue. There are so many good people on those forums, it's a shame it has to be brought down. As for archiving everything, what I'd love to see is for everything to be compiled into one place. I've actually long thought about writing a general...

I doubt it as well since wwthww sent me the rejection letter. Honestly that one stung harder than any job rejection did back before I was self employed full time.

Rather than risk trying to replace my screen with a compatible model, and to preserve the originality of my computer, I'm looking for someone who can repair a vinegar syndrome affected iBook G3 that I've owned since it was new. It developed the issue early last year and now has the distinct...
