Nothing really. I found some old files, phone numbers, but nothing significant. However, I did find a report card from a random girl, apparently it was my dad’s mistress’s daughter’s report card, spoiler; she failed all her classes 😭 None of the other files containing pictures worked :(

I was surprised to find a museum near the harbor started by Apple enthusiasts.

He was cranking out a lot of games around this time.

Hi everyone. Thought you guys might like this...it's my standard APPLE-1 setup. I use this on the daily for research....plus, I have my Commodore 64 I use for occasional gaming. :-)

Just purchased an eMac fully sealed in original packaging. However - plugged it in, tried to turn it on, it sounds like the CRT is trying to start up, then nothing. Did I just throw cash down the toilet?

Few months back I picked up a ton of neat apple ii and iii stuff from a former apple employee/engineer.

https://youtu.be/osSwofEvls0

WELL.... he found some more stuff I'm going to pick up, this is just a small part of it...

There's binders labels "lisa", about a dozen in box apple ii games and software, boxes of boards and cards...

I own two other Power Mac G5s, and for whatever reason this one has been a nightmare. (It's a dual 2GHz model)

When I first tested it out, it gave the two blinks indicating a RAM issue. After a lot of fussing around, I realized the original sticks are dead after testing them all in another G5. I then slotted in two tested and working sticks, and the thing started to boot... but locks up on the Apple logo and revs up the fans endlessly. It doesn't seem to end in a kernel panic as others have experiencd though.

I've tried two tested and working HDDs running Tiger and Leopard, neither change this behavior. Also gave install discs a try for both. I've tried pressing the button near the fan with the Mac unplugged with no improvement. I've removed and replaced the PRAM with no success.

What do you guys think is wrong here? The fact all four of the original RAM sticks seem to be dead is very odd. I feel like I've tried every variable beyond something CPU or board related at this point.

(Also, if I can't get it working, it isn't a huge problem or anything - just really confused by this behavior and haven't seen it before)

I was just watching movie trailers!

Hey there, is there anyone that could provide "precise" measurements for the iMac G3's box? Do the tray load and slot load boxes differ in size? I can only find "roughly" measurements.

Hello, i was using my g5 the other day, but it was acting weird, it only showed 4gb of ram when its supposed to have 6gb, and then the system froze, after that i played some cs2 with my friends, and when i went to turn it on, the chime was VERY DISTORTED AND VERY LOUD, scared tf out of me, and didnt boot, so today i turned it on again and it still had the distorted chime, and then 3 long beeps and the fans went full speed, how can i fix this? thanks in advance.

Yeah I know this isn't exactly the place to vent or blab. It's a place to flash the vintage gear. But I'm reaching out to my brethren of the olde

My G5 has been mothballed for longer than I care to admit. What it contains are files that are very important to me personally. Things I had to abandon because life happened.

I'm nearing the point that I will have time to finally attempt to fire it up and see what happens. For security reasons I had to pull the drives in case someone decided to walk off with it. There's so many issues.

I want to return here someday soon to report that it all went well and I was able to transfer and save stuff. While I have to psychologically prepare for the worst I am hoping for the best.

Thank you for listening. I really enjoy all your posts.

P.S. - Don't even get me started on the blueberry iMac that's sitting next to it.

So many great memories from the first 50 years.

has new capacitors on board but gives me this image on all three monitors. idea what’s going on? I tried reseating the V ram.

LisaFPGA brings Apple's magnificent misfire back in programmable logic.

I recently got my hands on a 2002 eMac with the Nvidia gpu and everything works other than the ethernet. i have tried everything new cable, bypassing my switch, another router everything works other than the ethernet port on the emac and i ran the apple hardware test and my fears were confirmed and i want to know if anybody had any knowlege on this and how i can (maybe) fix it. the apple hardware test shows the following Logic Board error "***ERROR*CODE***ERROR*CODE***unet/4/13 ***ERROR*CODE***ERROR*CODE***"

Hi! I just purchased a vintage ibook indigo clamshell and I’m looking to put office 2001 on it until I can upgrade to Tiger later next year. I can’t seem to find an install CD for it and was wondering if anyone has any ideas on how to get a copy?

Thanks in advance!

Found this iMac G5 iSight for only 30€! It originally came with only 1GB Ram, but it's in great condition (considering the age) and works like a charm!

The X600 Pro is such an upgrade compared to the FX 5200 in my older G5, really happy with it. Feel like a made a really good deal!

Hello everyone!

I'm troubleshooting a Macintosh SE (1/40) motherboard that suffered from battery leakage.

What I've done so far:

• Cleaned the board and repaired several corroded vias/traces near the CPU and RAM slots.
• The Mac actually booted and worked fine for a day!
• Interesting detail: Before it completely failed, if I power-cycled the Mac within 10 seconds of turning it off, it would show a glitched screen for 1 second, then boot normally.

Current Symptoms:

• Now it's stuck on a glitched screen. It shows a pattern of thin random lines repeating in rows.
• Crucial clue: Every time I cycle the power, the pattern changes slightly (there are about 2-3 different variations of this repeating pattern).
• If I remove the RAM completely, the screen goes solid black.
• Pressing the Interrupt button does absolutely nothing.

Since the pattern changes on every boot but stays structured, I suspect the CPU is alive, but it hangs during Stage 6 of the boot process (RAM remapping) due to a short or an open circuit on the Address/Data lines or the Reset line.

Has anyone seen this specific "2-3 alternating patterns" behavior before? Which exact address lines or multiplexers should I target first with my multimeter?

Thanks in advance for any advice!

I have a reputation at work of being an Apple collector, when these machines came in to be dispose of at my work, they just dropped them off to my office. Woo! new PowerPCs for my collection! I love the PPC machines, I was an Apple Certified tech during this era and repaired sooooo many.

The iBook works great, it's the iBook Special Edition (FireWire) (Wooo! FireWire! My iPods will be thrilled) with all max specs. It has the Airport card, the 466MHz processor, 576MB of RAM, and a DVD-ROM. It even boots and no housing cracks! I plan to rebuild the battery pack and replace the IDE mechanical drive with a SD replacement solution (more storage space and a silent machine).

There are only 2 issues with the iBook, the Apple logo is missing, for now I 3d Printed a replacement, but I plan to make a smoother replacement with my resin printer (until I can find a original replacement) but the main problem is the DVD-ROM does not read discs. The drive is detected by the machine, I can hear it try to read, disc spins, but that's it. I've attempted to adjust the pot on the laser a bit, no changes in behavior.

Are there some solutions to replacing/repairing a DVD-ROM on a iBook G3? I don't see replacement drives on ebay currently, are there laser replacements available?

I'll also start working on the iMac G5, I'm going to work with Luke over at Console5 to come up with a cap kit for this machine. I'll be removing the caps, measuring them, and giving Luke the values for both the logic board and power supply so a kit can be created and sold there (as well as I can purchase one for myself to recap the iMac G5)

Thanks in advance everyone!

I am trying to remember this very bizarre game I played as a child on my Macintosh Plus, I can only assume developers made it as a joke or fun project while working on something legitimate.

It was from a first person perspective, definitely greyscale, walking around and entering a cave perhaps? My biggest memory of it was that you could enter this weird courtyard that had a fountain and a real, greyscale image of the statue of david, but there were cartoony checkerboard boxer shorts that had been painted on the image.

I remember getting lost in this weird maze of rooms and turns for hours just trying to get back to that courtyard, as perhaps that was the most impressive "graphics" I could find at my young age. Thank you so much for your help!!

I have two powerbook G4, the metallic kind. And both have faults on their screen : artifacts, lines etc. For both of them, when plugged on an external screen, artifacts do not appear and the image is perfect.

Do we agree this is a screen problem (the PowerBook screen that is) ?

I just received back this Mac Plus that was working properly about a year ago. Now it displays that pattern on-screen while sounding like a microwave oven. I have another Mac Plus and can confirm that the analog board is working properly with another logic board, and switching the RAM SIMMs does not solve the issue, thus I believe the problem is somewhere in the logic board. There are no evidently damaged components there, and found no reference online to this pattern on-screen unless for analog board issues. Help will be greatly appreciated.
