I have a Mac Classic that is only getting ~11.3 V on the 12 V rail leading to the hard drive. It is not enough voltage to get the hard drive to spin. I hooked the hdd to a desktop 12 V rail and it spun up perfect. My guess is the power supply, but I'm not sure where to begin. I don't see any...

The other night, my Mac Classic (which had been previously revived with help from VC) was working fine in the bootable ROM by using Command+Option+X+O on startup. I decided to see what Command+Option+R+P would do, so I pressed those keys upon the next startup and now the Mac has the checkerboard...

I recently acquired a Mac Classic. When it turns on, a black and white checkerboard fills the screen. It had a bad battery on the logic board, so I removed it. I still get the problem. It has the internal hard drive as well. Any ideas?

I have an IBM AT PC with DOS 3.30 and a Compaq Deskpro EP with Windows 2000 Pro on it. I've been unsuccessful at getting a 5.25 floppy working on the Compaq, so I am wondering what I have to do to be able to send files from the Compaq to the IBM AT (software to use, cabling, software instuctions).

I have installed a 5.25 floppy drive in my compaq deskpro ep. There is also a 3.5 floppy drive installed. The 5.25 is B drive and jumped as D2 and the 3.5 drive is A drive. The bios allows me to make the changes as A: 3.5 floppy and B: 5.25 1.2 MB floppy, however, when I save changes and reboot...

I have a toshiba nd-04dt-a 5.25 floppy drive in the b: slot of my Kaypro New 2. I just cleaned the heads and lubricated the rails. I continue to receive "format error on track number 0" when I try formatting the disk. When I type b: at the a0> prompt, I get the message "Bdos Err On B: Bad...

I have a Kaypro New 2 system. Of course I do not have the system disc to boot her up. Does anyone here have a disc they can send me that is compatible with my system, know of a download place (Dave's Computers did not have one for the 2), or know of a place where I could find one?

I've looked on the forums, including Dave's site, to find the proper file to download to start up my Kaypro New 2. I cannot find the right download though. Where can I get the file for this Kaypro New 2 with ROM 81-478 dated 1984?

I just picked up a Kaypro 2 (not II) today and found a jumper loose inside at the bottom. Does anyone know what the jumper settings are supposed to be for both floppy drives?

I'm looking for someone to help me get a scan of the maintenance/care portion of the Proprinter II manual. Anything on how to disassemble and clean/lubricate it is what I need. Thank you.

What do you guys think about the United Nations wanting a worldwide ban on weapons, for civilians of course? With liberal Obama in office in the U.S., anythings practically possible, but our 2nd amendment will be infringed upon if this happens. Personally, I disagree on any liberal matter, but...

Here's my IBM AT 5170, manufactured in 1987. Comes complete with the IBM AT 84-key keyboard, IBM 5154 Enhanced Color Display, Microsoft Bus Mouse, and the IBM Proprinter II dot matrix. It has IBM DOS 3.30. The hard drive is a Seagate ST-4038. It has the Intel 80286 8 MHz processor and the...

Can someone help me get the file ibmproxl.prd for msword 5.5 so I can set up my IBM Proprinter II 4201-002?

I'm looking for the top clear plastic paper guide for my IBM Proprinter II Dot Matrix. If anyone has one or knows where to get one, please advise.

While trying to multi-task by holding my AT keyboard in one hand and inserting a floppy into the AT with the other hand, I accidentally dropped my hefty AT keyboard right on my left foot. Let me tell you, it hurt like a son of a *%#!@. Of course the keyboard is so durable it wasn't harmed, but...
