I've always navigated to the subcategory I'll be posting in before hitting post. Then there's no issue selecting from a really long list. I can also check to see if there is a similar post to what I'm discussing. Is there a reason you're posting a new thread from the root of the site?

Unfortunately the broken one is the only one I have.

It would be interesting to see if the kickstand from mine broke, or if the plastic kickstand was intact with the metal tab snapped off inside. I'm thinking the latter, by how that metal looked where it broke.

Unfortunately I didn’t have the tab or I’d have tried to JB weld that piece back on.

I recently got a Cinema Display from goodwill for $8 (+ $15 shipping) but it did not have a stand. I was hoping I could just use the leg from one of my 17" Cinema displays. Unfortunately, when it arrived I realized it wasn't just the leg that was missing, but the metal tab was actually...

I'm pretty sure those jumpers are to enable or disable termination. https://github.com/xunker/BlueSCSI#termination

OK, second update. I was able to get the CC to boot after leaving it powered on (switch turned on without pressing the power button on the keyboard). While I still can't get my 7.1 disk with the System enabler on my BlueSCSI to be recognized, I can get it to show the "Welcome to Mac" screen...

See my latest on other odd behavior. There's certainly some odd behavior with Basilisk's file dialog on the Mac. I've tried renaming some of the .hda files to .img and they can load fine in Basilisk. However, when I change them back to .hda I can no longer select them. Unlike some of the...

Maybe a difference between windows and Mac version of Basilisk II. On my Mac version, when I go to the file browser and cannot select .hda files. Actually, it's looking like some sort of bug, because I just moved all my hard drive images to a separate folder (I was embarrassed at the state...

So things did not go well putting the 575 board in the Color Classic. After putting it in trying to boot, my color classic just makes a weak click with a blip of the power light. I had just started it up with the CC board and it booted fin (no HD, but got the no system disk icon). After...

@eric , I seem to be missing something, but I can't seem to use .hda disk images in Basilisk II. Is there a trick to convert them to a .dsk or .img (or is it as simple as renaming the file?)? [EDIT] So it looks like maybe you just rename the file to be .img and it allows me to use it in...

Just picked up an LC 575 to use for my Mystic Color Classic upgrade. I was told it would power on but no image, so I thought maybe the analog board may be bad, which didn't concern me too much since I just want the logic board from it. However, when I got it home, I was pleasantly surprised to...

@JDW As always, I'm terrible at trying to find alternative capacitors. Any you would recommend for the 100uF caps since they are on backorder?

I posted a while back about the website ASCII for loading old games or generating new floppy disks. I really liked the idea, but found their mobile web interface to be a bit less than ideal. I actually threw together a native iOS app this evening, and while I need to tweak some of the UX, it's...

This year I've crossed quite a few off my bucket list (SE/30, Color Classic, G4 cube, TAM, Newton 130 in original box, Powerbook 540c, clamshell iBook). Some were on the list because I had them, but most were computers I really wanted when they came out but couldn't afford. In terms of items...

I'm in for one.

Awesome bit of software! So I guess when it loads from the PC Card, it actually will run the software, and they figured out how to interact with the PIN system. Really cool, but goes to show how limited tech security was back then. I'll give it a shot and see how it goes. Tying to see if I...

I never thought about using the "cassette" disk functionality of the Apple II to allow you to load games from your phone's audio jack. Might see if I have an old Android phone I can use expressly as a "disk drive" for my IIe. youtube.com/watch?... Everyone else might be familiar with this...

Anyone know if there is a way to unlock a MessagePad locked by a PIN? Purchased a MP 120 Off craigslist and it booted up just fine after putting in new batteries. The problem is that it is locked by a PIN. I believe I can do a hard reset, which would erase all data, but I'd really like to...
