It would be handy to have for reading/writing PC-DOS 720k floppies, as well as Mac & PC 1.44MB floppies on the Plus, but only if it works...

If you've ever been curious about the insides of a Drive 2.4 or a Kennect Rapport, well, now's your chance to see...

Feeling a bit gutted at the moment... After negotiating a very reasonable price with the seller, I was excited to receive a Kennect Rapport paired with the Kennect Drive 2.4 for use with my Mac Plus. The packaging took a big fall at some point in transit between Alaska and California, but the...

Ooh very neat!

One of the Slideaway Keyboard Stands in that photo is actually for sale (complete in box!) on ebay currently for the low low price of US$99 +shipping.... https://www.ebay.com/itm/403766984395

Got a picture of it outside the box? :D Interesting that it specifies the SE, is the foot profile different with the SE from the earlier compact Macs?

You are correct! I suppose you could omit the one for the clock/pram battery if you really wanted to, but the startup battery is required (well, you can jumpstart it, but that's a little impractical for normal use).

My II came with two leaded Varta 1/2-AAs, which I then replaced with two standard Saft 1/2-AAs. I installed them using a 3D-printed battery holder designed by @Branchus specifically for the II. All you need to do is to poach the metal terminal leads from a couple of standard 1/2-AA holders and...

Wow they weren't messing around with that C1 upgrade!

He was asking about SuperLaserSpool! :p

Sadly it's just a print spooler for laser printers! If only...

Oh! Well be sure to add any versions to the Garden that are missing. :D

Fun! :) Do you know what version of SLS this card came with?

Do we know what EPROMs would be suitable for an LCIII? I have a programmer, but (in typical Apple fashion) the chips on my LCIII don't have meaningful IDs on them that I can tell. They are comprised of two 40-pin DIPs, Hi and Lo (in 42-pin sockets, naturally...).

That's good to know about the SCSI ID. I don't actually need to do it with a Zip 100 SCSI drive since I have a USB one, I was just trying it as a test. Perhaps I will try it with a hard drive that can have its scsi ID assigned to zero, and I'll just make sure it has termination resistors installed.

When using, say, a USB Zip 100 drive, no drivers are necessary on modern systems; the OS just treats it as a generic USB drive, hence my hope for the Jaz USB adapter.

So I've acquired a Jaz USB Adapter (very cheaply, I should add!) which came with an Iomega 25-pin SCSI adapter. Since SCSI is SCSI and USB is USB, it should work as a generic SCSI to USB adapter, no? However as a test I plugged it into my modern machine connected to a Zip 100 SCSI (with disk...

Noticing some unpopulated items: J2, J3, C2, C11? Were those unpopulated on the original?

Re: California, my understanding is that most of the vintage electronics stores are up in the San Francisco/San Jose area, a good 6+ hour drive north of LA. As a resident of LA, I wish there was something closer by! Perhaps someone else knows of one that I'm not aware of.

I've done that before actually. They were very quick about sending it out though, so I didn't get a chance. But, in the end, it's mostly fine, and it ended up being free.
