Will do. Win

Hi, I have an Apple II that was a barn rescue. It was filthy, but cleaned up nicely and after a couple minor board repairs, works great. But I have a question about the power supply. Does anyone know the deal with this all black power supply (see pics). Was it an aftermarket replacement...

So working off of the Allegro thread https://forum.vcfed.org/index.php?threads/seeking-allegro-common-lisp-3-1-for-nextstep.70048/ I have a couple questions. I made a little progress on finding some Lisp software. Another user kindly pointed me to floppy disk images for Allegro CL at...

Ok, thanks. Yeah, I've not been able to find much online. Seems to be a very niche topic. If anyone has any pointers, please let me know. Thanks, Win

Has there been any progress on this? I have a turbo slab that I'm in the process of installing a SCSI2SD into it to give the HD a break. I'm very interested in running Lisp on it but unfortunately it doesn't have Allegro installed. I thought while I'm messing with the HD I might try to get a...

I have an Amiga 2000 with 3.1 installed. I have a Data partition where I've been installing some Fred Fish software. I install each from an LHA into it's own drawer on the Data partition. It works and I'm not having much difficulty with this other than the icons and other files in the Drawer...

Hi, I have an Osborne 1 that I've been working on for the last few weeks (single density...no DD mod). I don't have Osborne floppies, so thought I'd install a Gotek and once that works, I can make my own floppies. Several weeks later and I finally have a working Gotek from which the Osborne...

I have an OCC1 that powered on and requested a disk. I don't think I have the correct floppy for it (should a Kaypro or Northstar disk work?). Anyway, that is a secondary issue at the moment. The floppy drive seemed to do nothing but spin when I put in a floppy so I opened it up to look...

Hi, I'm wondering if anyone has advice for putting a solid state SCSI HD in a Mac IIfx and copying the current drive to the new drive? I have an IIfx with a Barracuda 4gb SCSI drive (ST15150N). The machine is unique in that it has a MacIvory 2 card stack and a Genera 8.3 install on the drive...

I recently installed a BennVenn Lynx(II) Drop In LCD Kit on my Lynx. Very nice screen upgrade for a reasonable price. I bought the soldering required version. If possible, for the extra $10, I'd recommend the solderless version. But if you're comfortable with an iron, it's no more than 20-30...

I fired up my 4P yesterday after a couple of years of inactivity and let the magic smoke out. Interestingly, it continued to work fine for the couple of seconds it took me to get to the power switch. I opened it today and it looks like the .22uf capacitor on the high voltage board split open...

ET-3400-A modkit manual ET-3400-A modkit manual Ok, reviving this thread once again. I have an ETA-3400 kit (I/O) that is 99.9% complete (all the parts). I built most of it and am currently at the mod for the ET-3400. I have an ET-3400-A, but the ETA-3400 modkit manual that it came with it...

There's a version of Life on the Apple 1. I have it on the CF card on my CFFA...can't remember where I got the software on the card, but it's in the MCODE directory, if anyone is familiar. I believe it's a fairly common distro of software for the A1. Anyway, I'd like to use the Life program as...

I picked up a barn find Apple ][ on Craigslist a year or so ago. It cleaned up pretty nicely. Has a few issues I'm working on, but wondering if someone can give me some info on this ROM card. It came in the A2 when I got it. When installed with the switch up, it boots to integer Basic. I...

My model 1 display is wavy (see video). It gets progressively worse as I use it. After about an hour it gets pretty bad and is worse than shown in the video. I’m a bit nervous working around CRTs so wanted to see if anyone knows what might be causing this, too minimize my time messing around in...
