:/
I know the 21" color cable works with the 21" monochrome monitor but not the other way around. I was hoping the portrait would be the same story as the 21" mono. I actually passed up an early color 21" a while back because the case plastics were all cracked and broken.
Oh well. Maybe I'll have to break down and buy the NuBus card to sue with a straight 13W3 cable.

I'm pretty sure my cables are from Griffen, their tech support was fabulous. The guy gave me the pinout changes to make and it worked like a champ. I've still got it, but a couple of the wires came loose. They shouldn't be too difficult to noodle out.

Been having a hard time scoring anything recently. I broke the dry spell with a 12" PowerBook G4 in the box with all the stuffings for $25. It works but is missing a battery and in fairly dirty shape.
I also managed to get a PowerMac 6500/250 from a guy I know. It is in fairly good snap with a bad Zip drive and a broken tab on the logic board back plate. Anyone have a 6x00 back plate with both tabs?

Nice job on the PowerBook! I spent around $100 after getting mine all working. And you got the box too!

I touched bases with my friend today and brought home a IIx, a IIfx, a Platinum Mac Plus (with the box, manuals, inserts, software, etc), a boxed Ethernet CS card, a new, sealed external Apple SuperDrive floppy drive, System 7.0.1 floppies, stickers, etc.
I guess with the SuperDrive being sealed, I'll get a look at what Platinum looks like brand new 😉

Do tell us what version it is. I have the one that has the amber activity light. Others come with a red activity light like the 800k drives but have "FDHD" silk screened on the front.

I opened the box and it does not have any "FDHD" or "SuperDrive" silkscreen. I'll have to plug it in tomorrow and check the light but from the sounds of it, the LED should be amber. It's pretty cool to open a brand-new, vintage item. I think this was a first for me.

Most of the external SuperDrives I've seen (either in magazines or in person) have had the amber LED. With or without the silkscreened badging. So, I suspect that it will be amber...

Apple sold these drives fairly late, I recall seeing them in a 1992 catalog a I had for $400. I wish I had that catalog still... :disapprove: I don't think it sold all that much to Mac users given how few machines actually had a floppy port and the SWIM chip. Most were likely sold for the setup I use, namely on an Apple II equipped with the Apple FDHD controller.

Yup, which, like the Liron card, is like hen's teeth. If I had one, I could use the modded A9M0106 to its full capabilities on the //e...

You get a chance to look at my 550 board?

Posted by: mcdermd on 2013-11-09 10:43:02
OMG, I totally forgot about it, Jason. Big apologies to you. I need to make a cap order this week. I'll grab the board and start prepping it.
