Asante 10Mbps Ethernet PC(PCMCIA) card and PowerBook 190cs

Hello to the list, A colleague inherited a PowerBook 190cs from another teacher. In the box of "stuff" with it, he found an Asante 10Mbps Ethernet PC Card for Powerbooks with PCMCIA slots. This was new and unopened. The box also said "FriendlyNet" PC Card. He immediately asked me if the card cou

How about a 64MB chip in an LCIII?

Hello, Y'All, Is there anyone who "KNOWS" a 64MB chip, 72-pin of course, won't work in an LCIII? I just want to know. I'm an eBay rummager and want to know before I just have to bid on a chip and find out for myself. Jim -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by and... Small Dog

Monitor for LCIII

Hello, Y'All, I bought an LCIII to fix up as a simple game, word processing, fiddle-with computer for my granddaughter. I've added a larger HD, raised RAM to 36 MB total, and installed 7.5.5. If I can figure out how to do it, I will install OS 8.1. At this point, I wonder just how big and what

Re: Perplexing Pair of LCIII's

Hi, Listers, I'm the original poster on the LCIII's that wouldn't start up after changing out the PRAM battery. "Ken" wrote me off list and also posted here and suggested I "double check the polarity of the new battery". Yep, I reversed the battery, got a chime and quick startup. What is amazi

Perplexing Pair of LCIII's

I bought a couple of LCIII's to fix up for my little Mac LC lab. I upgraded memory to 20 MB, put a 250 MB HD in one - 500 MB HD in the other, and installed OS 7.5.5 on each of them. Everything was working fine. Noticed time was wrong so I put a new battery in one. When I rebooted, I got no chi

CD info into an LCII

Hi, Y'all, I need to put a program on a little lab of LCII's. The program is on a CD. The LCII's have LaCie 1.2 gig SCSI HDs so there is enough room. I need to put this program on 16 of them. Can someone suggest an efficient, relatively quick solution? Another question: When some of these LC'

Hard drive in 950 server for LCII LAN

Hi, Y'all, I would like a bigger hard drive in the 950 server in our old school lab. It serves a 16 unit LCII LAN.Am I restricted to only Apple SCSI drives? Also, can I put in a SCSI CD-ROM drive? I think it can take up to 5 drives if I read the specs correctly. Any size or brand recommends? Jim

Need PDS NICs/RJ45

Hello, y'all, I'm still working to keep a classroom Mac lab going. I've run into a problem that has me and an Apple Certified tech baffled. Been working at it nearly one month now. One of our "fixes" involves switching from a BNC connected, daisy chained LAN to NIC cards with RJ45 connectors. I

Hi, I need a source for network CS or PDS cards for the LC580 and LC 575. Can anyone help? I got 10 from Jeff Prieschel about two years ago. Anyone know if he is still a member of the Mac lists? Jim -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by and... Small Dog Electronicshtt

Help or advice for LW IIg

Hello, y'all, I have a colleague who runs a CAD program at our school where I work part-time. Some of the LaserWriter parts I have purchased on e-Bay went into his LW IINT to make it an LW IIg. Now he is grousing because although the printer prints fine on regular 3-5 page jobs, it begins to prin

Apple LaserWriter LS vs NTR

Hi, Listers, I have a chance to replace an non-working Apple Personal LaserWriter NTR with a very good still working well, Personal LaserWriter LS on my classroom LAN of 16 LC580's. Can I network it just like the NTR? Pictures look the same. Is there much difference between the two machines? Ji

LaserWriter IIg advice

I have an opportunity to purchase a IIg Laserwriter. According to the owner its "only defect is that when you print for a long time, the fan cycles off and on." Isn't that what it's supposed to do? Or is this a sign of something bad getting ready to happen? Jim -- Vintage Macs is sponsored

Apple MultiSyn 15" monitor help, again

Hello, I think I saw a thread on one of the lists about a problem with the Apple Multisync 15" monitor. Of course because I wasn't having a problem at the time, I paid no attention. Here it is: 1. Nearly two school years ago fellow teacher's classroom Mac monitor (15" MultiS) gets yellow-green

A little weird "About this Mac..."

I had one of my networked LC 575's crash while surfing today. An error message suggesting I increase the RAM allotted to the NetNav 2.02 popped up. I looked in :About this Macintosh" and found I had only about 4 MB of RAM NOT used by the system files. That is 4 MB out of 20 MB of RAM I have instal

Re: sort of about blinking ?

Well, folks, I went in armed with a few of your suggestions. The first 'puter I tried Norton's on said I couldn't use it and to try the #2 utilities disk from the 7.5.3 install set. It booted the machine OK but couldn't or wouldn't see the HD. BUT, get this, when I tried to restart, the machine

Blinking ? on disk

Hello, y'all, Early season question for the list. I'm the person with the Mac lab of LCII's, 575's, and 580's. When the teacher whose room houses the lab went in a few days prior to the opening of school, she and a student turned a few (6-8) of the Macs on. All came up with the disk icon with the
