Just grab a couple of these and connect your Apple MD-8 cable to them. https://www.ebay.com/itm/385106570311 26 feet. There's also this 20 foot male-male MD-8 cable, made by Belkin... https://www.ebay.com/itm/124664952017

Definitely time for a recap. With respect to the random garbled screen issue, while the bucket is off, move the logic board to analog board harness and see if the computer either restarts, or, if it's already running, freezes. My dual FDHD SE had a harness that had a couple pinched wires. At...

Used a DataDesk Mac101e (was the dual interface version that could be used on a Plus or an ADB machine) back in college on a IIsi that was in the Chemistry department. Didn't care for it much at all. Much preferred the M3501 back then. Once I tried a M0115, however, that became my favorite of...

Chris, Sounds like a plan. Thanks. Some have been great, some haven't been that great, of course...

That sounds like you've an electrical short. A high pitched flupping sound occurs when something is shorting out to ground. Is the floppy drive properly mounted in place, or do you have it hanging out the side, possibly touching the chassis?

With lots of RAM, the screen will be dark. So, you'll hear the chime, then it'll remain dark until the gray screen appears, eventually followed by either the happy Mac icon, a floppy disk icon, or a sad Mac icon.

^Yes. A hacked ROM would probably fix the issue, but, 'tis ok. Got the feet today. Also paid for a A9M0331 mouse that someone was selling on eBay locally. @JDW, yep, I've had a few machines pass through my hands... lol

Attached the IWII to the C650. Also received a box from @PotatoFi, containing a M0487 Apple Keyboard II with M2706 ADB Mouse II, and an Apple IIgs ADB keyboard with cable, plus a spare 590-0361 ADB cable. Going to be picking up a set of four feet from the post orifice for the A9M0106 floppy...

That is odd. Could be the SWIM chip. You've tried the steps listed about 1/3 of the way down on this page, right? https://archive.org/stream/mac_Sad_Macs_Bombs_and_other_Disasters_4th_Edition_2000/Sad_Macs_Bombs_and_other_Disasters_4th_Edition_2000_djvu.txt Look for the page 167 reference...

The hacked version of HD SC Setup 7.3.5 does work under 9.2.2. If you got a 2940UW or U2W card, make sure you don't have it installed when/if you decide to boot up under OS X. For some reason or another, the 2940UW I had for my G3 did not let the computer boot correctly under 10.4.11. The...

Got a copy of ResEdit? Might be good to check and see if the System 7.x System file has the .Sony driver resource installed. Seems like it isn't being added to the System file when that's being built by the installer. Otherwise, it sounds like an issue with the logic board...

Yeah, it depends on the store, firstly, and, secondly, how many items you're planning on shipping out using their services. The three monitors, might not be that big of a deal. Would have to show up early and have them do the packing. The G3/G4 PowerMacs, might be better to box them up...

A9M0106 is on hold for now - eBay canceled the auction before the seller and I could take care of things. May be bringing home an ImageWriter II that someone on OfferUp offered for free tom'w afternoon. Passes the self-test, but they don't have a printer cable to connect it to a computer to...

It might be easier to take the larger items to either FedEx Office or the UPS store and have them pack them, while taking care of the smaller items yourself. Could be cheaper, too. I'm doing this with the B&W G3 I'm selling to @cc_333 on 68kMLA. Just going to be easier than my sourcing a box...

Your MacBook Pro should be able to burn the CD images from the Macintosh Garden. You might have to add .iso after the .toast part in the filename before Disk Utility will recognize it, but it should work. When I had this occur on my G3 last spring, I was able to burn the four CDs necessary to...

I'd be tempted to sell the sheet feeder separately. It's an uncommon option. Does mean that the printer will be missing the smoked plastic window that fits in the lid that covers the print head, but, it'll be a lot easier to ship the IWII as the basic printer. I have come across NOS tractor...

May be reconquesting my old Daystar Turbo 601 from a 68kMLA member who wasn't able to get it working on his IIci. Also, have received a IIgs from @KennyPowers. Am picking up some stuff from @PotatoFi's haul next week, and should have an A9M0106 floppy drive coming through the 'bay soon.

A medium FRB is $16.10, so, if people want the drives, that's a good way of shipping them.

If you wanted. You'd have to redo the icons on the rear panel in black, so they'd be visible again. Unlike the ones on a real IIgs or a Mac, they aren't molded, instead being painted, like on the regular IIe.

Yes, you can. The baseplate used for the Stealth GS kit is for the later //e cases that don't use the "velcro" tabs for the case lid. I owned an early //e that I had upgraded to the IIgs upgrade kit. Case had to be replaced with one from a 1984-86 //e to work with the baseplate. So, you'll...
