    I picked up an SE this weekend and found an Applied Engineering TransWarp TW1340 in it. It appears to be working. Does anyone have any reference material for it? I've googled and come up with nothing.

    Pascal Programming Your Own Adventure Game In Pascal by Richard C. Vile, Jr.

    I'm currently working my way through this book on adventure game programming in Pascal. My intent is to get it working in Apple Pascal 1.1 on my Apple IIe then port it to other languages. Most likely AppleSoft Basic next. Then over to TI Basic on my TI 99/4A and eventually onto a 68K Macintosh...

    Pascal Apple Pascal 1.3 Compiler Error

    I'm attempting to work with Apple Pascal 1.3 on my Apple IIe. Aside from the Pascal OS being strange, and the lack of assessable books and tutorials, I'm running into a compiler error on a very simple Hello World type program. I wonder if anyone can recognize the, probably obvious, error in the...

    Any idea what this is?

    It looks like mini-computer memory modules to me. Available at a local auction. If I bid on it, I'll likely get it for less than $3. I have no idea if it would be useful as is or for parts.

    USB Mouse for iBook?

    Looking for a recommendation for a USB mouse suitable for an iBook G3/800. I have a Pro Mouse and really don't care for it. Too short of a cord and having the entire body move to click feels awkward. Would like to have something "matching" in style. If that's a Pro Mouse then so be it.

    Finds: PowerBook 180c and PowerPC G5

    Found a PowerPC G5 for $35 recently. Needed a good dusting out but otherwise good. Replaced the 80 GB spinning drive with a older SSD I had sitting around. Also just picked up a PowerBook 180c. Everything works and the drive sounds like it’s about to fail. The screen is fine and I know I should...

    Recapping a Performa 550 - Same as Color Classic II main board?

    Looking at capacitor replacement kits at console5.com for my Performa 550. It's not listed specifically, so I'm trying to be careful and verify.

    Still lurking - just busy with another hobby for now

    Yo. Still here and lurking once in a while. I've been busy rebuilding a Burke & James 4x5 Press film camera. The poor thing was kept in a basement left to rust. Learning quite a lot about painting aluminum - self etching primer is a thing. And how to construct a camera bellows - it's difficult...
