    A9m0330 keyboard.. finally

    Got the keyboard today — just taking it for a first spin. Must say - Wowie this sure is cool. I’m probably going to make this message extra long and unnecessarily so just because… it’s fun to type on this. I’m mainly comparing this against the ALPS orange -based M0115 and M0116 (my personal...

    A9m0330 keyboard.. finally

    Well I can’t gloat - I hit the bullet and just paid auction prices for one. It’s been in my bucket list for a bit. Esp because my fav in is the similar m0116 Apple standard keyboard — I have gotten used to its key arrangement and now I can’t go back lol. My AEK 1 is just a big honker… I’ll...

    My very first NeXTStation

    Very cool!!! Nexts are like Lisas in my mind - I want one badly, but then I wonder if I’d use it after the first hour of having it. I’ve been looking up YouTube videos on next and nextstep and openstep because I’m befuddled by how on earth they got so much OS on a 68k machine. There isn’t...

    ThinkC MacDock dev progress -- Like today's macOS Dock but for System 7

    Super excited to share that the v2.0 is coming along! — Big thanks to all who supported past and present! A lot of replacing the old 1.x way of storing the dock items internally so that it can support the necessary dynamics of apps that are running, or not running (like Keep In Dock on modern...

    Macintosh Plus - Trouble after doing SCSI Term Diode Mod

    Maybe powersupply portions of the analog board is going on you by coincidence / unrelated to the diode mod?

    ThinkC MacDock dev progress -- Like today's macOS Dock but for System 7

    Update made to MacDock. Released what was in beta almost a year ago and fixed a few more things. See release notes in the README.md! Enjoy! Glad to be back on the wagon with this thing. This will be the last update before I (hopefully) make the major changes I spoke about a year back in my...

    Apple Lisa Mouse A9M0050 - Replacement Shell

    Sorry @JDW I was just kidding around and trying to build on your and others’ interest in a hard-to-find Lisa :-P. My internet comedy is rustier than a battery-bombed logic board! :-P

    Mac SE - Gray Screen, no startup sound, no pointer

    Have you tried just waiting like 5 minutes to see if it’s just taking a while on the RAM check? Another person had a similar issue with their Plus loaded with 4MB RAM. Took them days of trying things and probing and finally found out just waiting for it to finish its ram check was all it took...

    Installing a fan into a Mac Plus

    I hate to intrude on your thread but I love love love my Plus for its silence. I don’t use it because of its performance (I have an SE/30 about 7 ft away from the Plus) and I don’t use it because of my personal Plus’s condition (it’s in rougher shape than my SE/30) and I don’t use it for its...

    Restoring my SE to SE/30 conversion with a noisy fan

    This sounds awesome — I don’t know the answer to your questions. But if you’re confident the replacement fan is of similar power requirements then why not just touch the existing yellow/black wires from the board onto the connectors of the replacement fan and see what happens?

    Recapped my Macintosh Plus - not working altough correct voltages +5 -12 and 12V at the external floppy port

    Nice work!! Yeah check the connector and the speaker wire connections to its connector. These sometimes go and the wire or the metal connector pin gets separated or loose etc. Or just a bad speaker is of course possible. Tough one losing all that time to a ram test but hey - you learned a...

    This will help you get MacintoshGarden files from your Mac via ftp

    It’s probably working! I don’t remember the multiple OK details but I don’t think it ever takes deceptively long to fail so you’re prob good.
