    Game Socket in Apple II series

    I would sell you a Yamaha MU-50 for a fair price if you are on a budget and it would help. I have a plethora of MIDI equipment, as well as a II+, IIe platinum, and IIgs, so let me know if I can help.

    ImacG3 shipping recommendations?

    This is pretty much a verse of gospel. It's always a risk trusting anybody you don't know no matter how much they say they know what they are doing. I have had stuff arrive with incredible padding on 5/6 sides, which of course does not end well. If you have to ship a CRT, double box. I...

    Lead times on mouser

    Sadly this has been going on for months / years now. With capacitors if I cannot find what I need in a series (same manufacturer and series caps) then I start on digikey sorting parts by critical specs and lead spacing. Learning to cross-reference and navigate the parts search is pretty...

    VCF Midwest September, 10-11 2022

    The good news: it would only be a 3 hour drive. The bad news: It's my wife's birthday. And she tolerates a LOT of old computers and stuff, so, I'm not doing this to her lol

    Which Macintoshes, NuBus Video Cards Only Do “Sync on Green”?

    Most sony displays support sync on green in my experience, but yeah, it's nice not to have to rely on the display supporting it.

    SATA? In an old world PCI Power Mac?! IMPOSSIBRU! (Updated 11/22/23)

    WOW! I may have to try this. I presume this might work in a 7500?

    A MacSE, MacTCP and RaSCSI

    I have a newer Nighthawk system with eth ports on the satellites. I can try a switch in-between, I have a decent feeling about that.

    A MacSE, MacTCP and RaSCSI

    I'll have to look through my photos, I think I took pictures at the time, but yeah it used the right IP. I don't remember if I looked for the device in my router management interface but that would be a good next step. Next time I have the time to mess with it I'll better document everything and...

    A MacSE, MacTCP and RaSCSI

    Muck like yours, on the SE Side, it looked like 100% lost packets. But the weird thing was like I said, the other host on my LAN was getting traffic and shooting replies back... so outbound was working, responses were being sent, but the SE itself reported all lost packets. I have a WiModem232...

    A MacSE, MacTCP and RaSCSI

    I tried and failed on my SE with a RaSCSI (storage worked, tcp was a crap chute). I got as far as tracking packets and doing TCPdump on it, and I had it 75% sorted, but I never could get the last bit figured out. The host I was pinging was receiving and responding, but the SE was acting like it...

    Mac SE Restoration Project -- advice wanted!

    SE's are pretty easy to recap in the grand scheme of things. I did mine with pretty basic tools. Clearing thru holes while or after removing component legs is definitely a pain in most cases. Forget solder wick (Sorry to those who love it, it's not for me most of the time). If you've already...

    Which Macintoshes, NuBus Video Cards Only Do “Sync on Green”?

    I doubt it will help for capture, but the PS2 console in 480P RGB mode is VGA sync on green. There were lists of PC CRTs that work and don't. I have had viewsonics that work and do not work, and I think all the sony's I've owned have worked. If the signal is at least 640x480, I would encourage...

    Trading post links require an off-site visitor to log into an account to view

    I actually really appreciate forums which keep the market as a privilege, require login for it, and not indexed on google. It helped a lot in the arcade scene to keep parts amongst a nice community at affordable prices. That ship has pretty much sailed, but on the more widely known public...

    What Beige Apple ADB keyboards/mice am I missing?

    Nice collection. The top center is the one that came originally with my IIgs, and the one on the left I love using for my SE. I found a seller in Spain willing to send me a Spanish layout M2980, I am very much looking forward to that. I just did a tantalum recap on an LC II, and I think I'll...

    I've been on an apple II kick lately, and even though I have plenty of storage for my machines, I couldn't stop myself from trying out this project: https://github.com/tjboldt/ProDOS-ROM-Drive The card is an Apple II slot card consisting just of simple DIP chips and 0.1uf capacitors. The...

    Book upload: "A Guide to Computer Music" For Apple II, GS, Macintosh and more

    I recently was able to track down a 2nd copy of this rare/out of print book, covering in great length use of MIDI equipment and software with Apple, Macintosh, and other computers (the 1st edition was almost entirely apple/mac focused, this is the revised edition). I could not find a copy...
