(No affiliation!) Did anyone else back this project on IndieGoGo? I couldn't help myself and am eagerly awaiting this campaign concluding so we can choose colours and they can start getting new C64 cases out to folk! Cheers,

Have been searching my home for this for a little while (yes, I have too much stuff!). Anyway, I knew it worked when I last tried it ~10 years ago, but had bought a new battery in preparation for what I expected when the device re-surfaced. But I think I wasted my money... It took a charge and I...

I'm pretty sure the VRM in my Cube is toast. Has anyone had any luck obtaining a SuperVRM, or equivalent? https://www.tindie.com/products/cuebus/g4-cube-supervrm/ Cheers,

Does anyone know if a CPU daughter card from a Pismo or Lombard will work in a Wallstreet II? They *look* like they should...

My Libretto 50CT had been sat in a box for many years. I had last played with it probably close to 10 years ago.. at the time I had resurrected it with a fresh Win95 install, and had purchased a new battery pack. Then it went in a box and hadn't come out til last weekend.. It was not happy...

I think I'm going mad... I was sure I'd seen YT video detailing the steps to recap a Portable's power supply, including getting into the brick without destroying anything... I actually have a baggie of caps taped to my power supply for the recapping, so I'm assuming I got the cap list from...

I had 6.0.8 on my 5120 and it was all good, except a few apps that wanted 7.x So upgraded to 7.1 last night and it's horribly slow - still usable, but compared to 6.0.8 it's a pig. Has anyone experimented with the "best" OS for the Portable? Cheers,

My Portable chimes when it boots, and the Sound control panel does all the right things in terms of outputting audio. However every application I run that has sound (ok, mostly games!) are utterly silent. It's not just one game.. it's every one I try. I can quit whatever game it is, go to Sound...

Has anyone seen one of these before? A little bit of Googling brought up next to nothing.. I found a thread here with a newer SE PDS variant and that's about it.. I'm guessing it's supports an external greyscale monitor for a Mac Plus? There's some dual port VRAM ZIPs.. Two missing crystals...

As part of me trying to resurrect a non-functional VZ300 (rebranded VTech Laser 310) I've been going down the Z80 investigation rabbit hole.. the machine in question just throws garbage on the display at boot. I've swapped out a bunch of stuff including the ROM, all the DRAM, the Z80 - all to no...

I've just picked up one of these 8-bit colour cards for the SE/30 and am looking for any documentation anyone might have.. a bit of searching turned up an internal Micron design document, but I can't seem to find any user level doco. Also I note that "Gamba" had a site with the various pieces of...

Has anyone had experience with these Bose/Apple Roommate speakers? The guy I got them off said the power had been intentionally disconnected “internally” (110V input only and I’m in Australia with 240V) - but he didn’t know any more. There is no obvious screws to take them apart, and I’d hate to...

I've got a Classic II here that's had both the LB and AB recapped. Also replaced QP1, TDA4605, DP3 and DP4. I get happy chime and then the cursor comes up, but it never tries to boot from anything. Not the HDD, not the floppy, nor any external SCSI device (BlueSCSI, SCSI2SD). The cursor...

Stumbled upon this.. documents disassembly and reassembly reasonably well.

This just arrived for my SE/30.. vroom vroom..!! 🏎️

... you've spent a good few hours preparing to record something for work featuring your 128K Mac... and then... ...the DRAM chip at G8 goes and takes a dive... I don't have a handy supply of 64K bit DRAM chips floating around unfortunately... well, apart from a few restored C64's.. hmm... 🧐

Anyone here into the amazing Vectrex vector-based gaming console? I've got a couple of them and they are really very cool. They pre-date the original Mac, and you'd have to wonder if they in some way inspired the classic Mac "all in one" design.. There's even a handle at the top of the Vectrex...

I came across this original software in a box of gear I obtained for other reasons. It purports to speed up numeric operations on machines with a 68882 floating point coprocessor by redirecting SANE (Standard Apple Numeric Environment) operations to the coprocessor. I installed it on my SE/30...

A little while back I picked up a copy of the book that Apple published to celebrate their tenth anniversary. I bought it pretty much sight-unseen from an overseas online seller, with only a photo of the dust jacket. The seller wasn't asking much for it, and even with international shipping from...

I'm looking for any information you amazing bunch might have on the MacVision II digitiser. I know of the original MacVision - little beige box with two large dials on the front and the awkward power supply plugging into the DB9/DIN8 serial adaptor. However I'm finding very little by way of...
