    What I've received as of late...

    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...

    Macintosh Classic Issue - floppy disks not working in OS 7.X (Working in 6.0.7)

    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...

    Idaho Apple Haul Hard Drives?

    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...

    Macintosh Classic Issue - floppy disks not working in OS 7.X (Working in 6.0.7)

    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...

    Massive Vintage Apple Haul in Idaho

    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...

    What I've received as of late...

    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...

    Massive Vintage Apple Haul in Idaho

    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...

    Kernel Panic on PowerMac G3

    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...

    Massive Vintage Apple Haul in Idaho

    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...

    What I've received as of late...

    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.

    Idaho Apple Haul Hard Drives?

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

    Stealth IIgs question

    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.

    Stealth IIgs question

    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...

    GCC Technologies FI/30 internal HD for Mac SE

    I have the same thing in my SE SuperDrive as well. Bought it from Herb Johnson.

    Mac IIci Success Story

    Looking good. I would verify that the Nubus slots are working. UH1 is looking a little grimy, like how mine was. Luckily, the chips are still available and fairly cheap.

    Will the dos card for 6100 work in IIci?

    As Kai said, it's pretty much a 6100 item only. There were some PC cards that did work in Nubus 68K Macs, though. Might be worth hunting one of those down if you want to run DOS programs.

    A “NEW” quadra 800?

    The back panel shown is the IIcx version. IIci has a video port in the middle. The Quadra 700 case is preconfigured for a Wombat (C/Q650, Q800) board, so it's just a matter of dropping it in. You do lose access to the third slot, if there's a need for external connection, since the 700 only...

    A “NEW” quadra 800?

    Also, the Centris/Quadra 650 and Quadra 800 boards come with tants from the factory. Yet, the PowerMac 7100 boards have electrolytics.

    A “NEW” quadra 800?

    IIcx has no video output port on its board, so that area is blank. You might also find a dead IIvx or IIvi machine (or a Centris 650/Quadra 650 that's dead), then you can swap the board into that system. Transfer the power LED from the dead machine's board to the solder pads on the 800 board...

    Macintosh TV CRT replacement

    Nice score. If I remember correctly, the S-video cables are pinned differently than the ADB cables, though. Might be safer to mask off the metal parts of the connectors on a 590-0616 ADB cable, then use black plastidip to change the color of that cable to match the MacTV. Otherwise, for a...
