    What I've received as of late...

    I did do just that. Not because the power supply on any of the other units was better (in fact, one was worse - cooling fan was dead), but printer is less putrid smelling. They were stored in a rather damp environment, so everything has at least a light moldy odor. So, I will be installing...

    What I've received as of late...

    Scored a IIg controller board for the LaserWriter. Alas, seems like one of the capacitors (and maybe the TRIAC) in the AC power supply block took a dump. Got the dreaded BRLOD (Blinking Red LEDs Of Death) going on. Did notice that there was at least one missing screw on the outer plastics, so...

    What I've received as of late...

    ^Yep, imgur has been dodgy at best for a while, at least on my end. Photo galleries that people post from imgur have been blank pages for me for a few years. Flickr, with all its faults, still seems to be halfway decent. I probably would've let the one I had go without the IIvx for...

    What I've received as of late...

    That's weird... I've noticed that they seem to be making random changes over the past 2-3 years that really didn't make much sense. One of them being the demise of the Help Forum. Another being the deletion of the old Photostream edit pages, without really coming up with an updated...

    What I've received as of late...

    Cool, just checked it out. Also gave you a follow. I do have a 48GX that's bone stock and in need of some repair work, as mentioned in the comment I posted on the photo of your 48GX with the FRAM card installed. First HP I owned was a 32SII. Got it in 1991. Second was a 48S that I picked up...

    What I've received as of late...

    Conquested another A9M0331 mouse and a non-Apple item. A replacement HP 48SX calculator to replace the one that was pilfered from my backpack at the Bellevue Community College cafeteria in early 1995.

    Quadra 650 drive chassis

    I think I have his non-eBay contact information somewhere. So, you might be able to get in touch with him and see if he'd send it via USPS, and for a lower price, before shipping is added in.

    What I've received as of late...

    Not actually a 7100/80AV. Reused the HPV card from the 7100/66, which I retired. Other items I received between early 2025 and now: - Quadra 650 logic board with bad internal SCSI - hoping it can be combined with the board I have installed in my Q650 to make one good board - M3501 keyboard -...

    Japanese Auction Sites for Vintage Mac Stuff?

    I've used buyee.jp in the past. Mainly bought photo gear through that site, though. I have seen a decent amount of vintage Mac stuff on the yahoo! Japan auction site, which Buyee usually is used with, though.

    Macintosh IIfx nostalgia

    Yup, C9 and C24. Solder pads for tantalums are adjacent to the leaky electroltyics.

    It's been a looooong time since I used an Apple II

    For launching Copy II Plus and AW from a hard drive, you'd want to use ProSel. https://www.brutaldeluxe.fr/documentation/prosel/index.html

    These might work... https://www.peconnectors.com/sockets-pga-cpu-and-memory/hws9229/ May have to split the sockets, depending on how the spacing is on the board for the SIMM headers. It's been a while since I had a Plus board in front of me (about three years).

    Check if Centris 650 has a fpu or not

    It does. Think it's 30, instead of 36 for the Q650 and Q800.

    A (mostly) successful IIsi restoration

    Was my first color Mac, second Mac system I'd owned (first being a Plus 1/0 system). Mine was a former General Electric rental machine. 5/80 config, running 7.1, and with the 12" RGB monitor, as well as a M3501 keyboard. Bought it in late 1993. @speakers Agree completely with your comment...

    Refreshing a Quadra 605 + Bonus Quadra 650

    You aren't in the Seattle, Washington area, are you? If so, I hope RE-PC gave you a better deal on the 650 than what it was advertised at (that is, if you wound up getting it there). I do have some RAM SIMMs that I pulled from my 7100/80 when I upgraded it to 56MB of RAM. They'll work in a...

    System 7.0.1 missing icons in file requestors

    That might be System 7 Pro, which can be considered a prototype for 7.5... The regular 7.1 is pretty quick.

    MARCHintosh 2025 Projects

    No videos, but have been working on getting a 7100 up and running. Started out with a 7100/66 that I picked up early last month. This was the machine that had the capacitors that had corroded severely, yet seemed to run ok otherwise. I wound up retiring it, and picked up a 7100/80 from Ryan...

    System 7.0.1 missing icons in file requestors

    I skipped over 7.0.1. All of my machines have run at least 7.1 if I've run System 7, or have remained with System 6...
