    Need testers: “GR8RAM” 8+ MB Slinky/RamFactor RAM card for Apple II series

    i have a ][+ , //e plat, and IIgs i could test this with. However, i'm very noob with apple 2's in general and would need some good hand holding on what to test it with. (and how to use it). So it might be fair to say i may not be the best candidate for testing. It would be a good excuse for me...

    MAC SE FDHD Floppy Cover with activity LED

    I think you are correct @Branchus they just went off on the tangent of the rare yellow transport disk. They ARE rare i'm sure almost everybody throw them out. and i'm not sure they were included past the SE ? but the main goal of this thread seems to be that hdd cover thingie you pointed to.

    Using HFS disk directly on a modern computer

    Thanks for writing this up! i'm def gonna try it out. Would it be easier to say that this only works with 1.44MB disks? A lot of my Mac SE's are the non-superdrive version. (they only do 400k/800k) and as such. i don't think this will work.

    Too many categories

    TL;DR version: make it easier for me to read posts from ALL places. The current way its configured is very exhausting to just browse. let alone read the actual posts people make. Please Take that at face value. and try to accommodate as best as you can. That carrot seems to only be on the dark...

    are you also paying attention in WHAT you are testing? that is, for powerpc, are you testing the 68k emulation or native powerpc.

    Unstable Mac SE

    I don't know. But you might need to do what i will have to do with my unstable mac plus .. bust out the multimeter and logic probe and check circuits. check for hot chips. or something. Maybe for both of our computers a chip is overheating or something.

    Finally, a nice Quadra 840AV

    I feel like the only computers that need good PRAM to boot is like the OG MAC II's and LC's. but i could be wrong on that. If its anything like the other Quadra's it does *NOT* need the pram battery.

    comments like these make me think i should join facebook just for the marketplace. But in the end, i prolly do not need even more things.

    No sound on Mac 128k

    The pin that is nearest the edge doesn't have any traces on either side. that i can see. So i think thats the ground pin. i jumped the other two. Still no sound. so problem is prolly someplace else.

    No sound on Mac 128k

    Thanks for that! umm .... Which is pin 1 and which is pin 2? (maybe just tell me what pin 3 is and i can deduce which is pin 1 an 2) Either i got it wrong in my guess. .. or i still have more troubleshooting to do.
