Re: Mice Repair
Although some ARE really unsaveable, if you clean the ball and the axis rotators (which may require a little careful scraping from gunk buildup) they might still be useable. Replacing the slider material can be done in a multitude of ways. Some use the fuzzy half of velcro. You can also custom-cut plastic pieces and glue them in. I find it also works well to soak the mouse balls in rubbing alcohol. That will break down and remove any oil and help remove any other residue which has embedded in the porous surface.

Re: Where ?
tried putting my copy of AppleWorks 5.0.3 on it but it that was a no-go. I'm guessing that it's a 68040 but I Personally, I find WordPerfect icky. Micro$oft totally mutilated Apple's Human Interface Guidelines in their early apps. Here is a nice resource for a good selection of various freeware/shareware word processing programs which should run fine on an '040: http://macfreebees.tripod.com/text.html Sam --- Visit JMUG, we've got a ton of cool stuff. www.jmug.org -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: relatively foolish question
Yes, you will need all of the original software in order to make it work. There is a booter application which you launch from inside the Mac OS which switches you into PC mode, and the DOS card loads up DOS or Windows from your PC partition. Okay, I gotta ask this, as I haven't found any information about this: exactly how do DOS cards in Macs work? I have two of them now, one with a 286 chip and one with a 386 chip. I can vaguely remember one of these back in college, that seemed to do emulation and was extremely slow. It isn't emulation, like with VirtualPC, as you aren't emulating PC hardware, you are running actual PC hardware. The slowness is due to the 286/386 chips. They should number crunch DOS apps of the era fine, but don't expect to run Windows XP. Do they dual boot and you choose which OS to use? Do you need a second monitor to see what's going on? It's not that I have a pressing need for these, but I am curious. No, the Mac is still in control at all times. Even though the DOS card has its own processor, ROM, RAM, bus, serial connectivity, and so on, it still relies on the Mac's video and other on-board functions as well.

Re: External Speakers
There is no sound out from the TV tuner card or AV card. That's why Apple has the 1/8 minijack on the motherboard. Right. Oops. Those are definitely under two watts. You'll need an amp. IOW, don't bother...just get a cheap set of amplified speakers. OfficeMax often has rebates enough that you can get a really cheap set for the cost of a stamp. Yeah, that's what I may end up doing. My original idea was to use some half decent stereo speakers for watching movies and TV in bed. I see the MUG Store has some nice amped speakers for a good price, with subwoofer too. Maybe this is a happy ending after all. Sam /\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign \ / No HTML/RTF in email X No Word docs in email / \ Boycott AOL 6! -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: External Speakers
I used to have some stereo speakers that actually had an RCA jack built into each one. Pretty strange. I tried hooking them directly into the sound out of a computer (with a headphone jack to RCA cable), but there wasn't enough power to drive the speakers at a useful volume. Probably the result of impedance mismatch. Are the audio-out ports generally 4 ohm or 8 ohm ? Anybody ? I'm guessing either way you have to go through some sort of stereo deck or pre-amp. ?

LaCie FM Radio Tuner
Does anyone have the software/drivers for the LaCie FM Radio Tuner? I checked VersionTracker, LaCie's web site, and download.com to no avail. I would like to get mine functional again (it was hiding from me for quite some time in the bottom of a box). Thanks, Sam -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
