yea it sounds like your overloading the amp's input, maybe a resistor in series with the input will help

no, once I get space for one I may get it, though I do love the engrish in the description

I tried it once, it was on a 1.6ghz atom machine with an intel board/chipset that matched perfectly with one of the low end mac's at the time... it was amusing

problem with the lcII is the ram (it tops out at 10megs though like me you have 12 in it) and lack of newbus, no clue on shipping its not that large or heavy though I will gather info in the morning the IIGS is a different system totally from the mac, and focuses more on graphics and sound (hince GS), the WDC cpu in it is the 16 bit step up from the 6502 and retains backwards compatibility with the 8 bit machines, and the m68000 in the mac has no idea what a 6502 is

off topic If you want a LC II I have one I would love to ditch on a sucker enthusiast (its actually a performa 430, but same computer, 10 megs maxed out ram no monitor, kb or mouse, free + shipping) only good thing about it is it will work with an apple II card, basicly giving you a 68k mac and an 8 bit apple II in the same box

yea but have a couple disk drives handy or be prepared to flip them out, again a GUI on II is mostly pointless as everything came self contained as bootable disks (unless you have a hard disk, very rare and not super useful on II series, and except for 1 mysterious model none came out for IIc) IIc is a enhanced IIe in a compact case IIc+ is the same with memory expansion and a 4Mhz zip chip, downside is it has a 3.5 inch disk installed, not much software came on 3.5 inch and its not something you can just copy from a pc drive (though you can with a old mac)

128k ram, disk drive controller, 80 column text, high res and double high res graphics, joystick port, mouse port, printer port, serial port, disk drive, all built in to a laptop style form factor http://oldcomputers.net/appleiic.html whats bad about the C is no expansion slots, so your not going to add in sound cards, video cards or homebrew hardware

get that IIc (or use applewin, its 99% dead on) and sell the plus for shipping and whatever you have into it to an apple nut, just a suggestion IMO you will happier with the C (or emulation) if you wanna play with them and the machine doesnt goto waste heck IF it was a //e I would have traded you outright for my working //c day one

seems like an overly turblant market, it wasnt 5 years ago gamestops around here were selling NES games for pennies along with used computer games, now everyone is worried about what has already taken place if you have not figured out I dont worry about the ma-pa shops, it went from a niche to oversaturation with funcoland chains back down to a niche

poke poke poke, the only way you will figure it out

good thing is that it does not sound like anything major is damaged, and its a good lesson for all of us ... even if it seems obious to you, its not I should have stated to put them back in the same orientation, its obious to anyone who deals with electronics in any level, but BOOM here we go cause its not obious to someone who doesnt mess with electronics, and thats my bad.

no I would go back to the 1960's and get in on the ground floor of integrated circuits and ride the wave into the miniaturization of computers, not just watch a toy launch and say thats neat

eh add enough external hardware a 2600 could play quake, so what is a game with no sound in the mid 80's not much

no I perfectly understand they will need software bzzt wrong, dont play that heartache, computers are so disposable its very common place to fish them out of the dumpster (I rather shockingly do at my apartment complex, most recent being a 2ghz dual core 3gb AMD machine with a blue screen on boot xp install, thats how worthless they are, anything minor and its off to walmart) even the software wont be all that expensive, your hocking 4.99 used video games that sell to a niche in a 40 - 100 grand a month storefront, not buying your sale

yes you can, I did it to a sony watchman, though it takes some poking around, in a nutshell near the LCD screen you want to find the point where it converts the incoming signal to the RGB signal for the LCD, on my sony it was a composite NTSC to RGB converter chip, and since the RF circuits were on daughter boards I just removed them ... audio is just tracing from the speaker back to an amp chip http://hackaday.com/2011/10/03/hack-a-watchman/

I cant vouch for the software, but its 2013, you dont need the top of the line gaming rig to run most of anything including games ... the argument that a ma-pa cant buy a used P4 compaq pizzabox for 10 bucks is not an argument.

no the //c is a whole different bear, its all intergrated in a compact motherboard, and it uses newer cmos parts actually the IIc is a good entry point if you want to grab a box plug it in and take off running, there's just no expansion slots

well if someone else doesnt get to it first, Im wrapping up 2 projects currently, then I was going to start on a ps/2 mouse adapter for apple II's but something is funky on my //c's mouse-joystick combo port, but that would be a good time to slip a repair in.

its ok it can be fixed (a wire might be able to be soldered on, or a replacement rom to be found or a simple adapter to use a generic rom can be cobbled up) I would be more than willing to take a crack at it, but its going to be a unforseen number of weeks before I get my plate clear

I have a large pile of stuff on my desk at the moment and I live half way cross country so I cant right now

bushido blade

put a shim behind the cart whenever you want to use it, sounds like something jarred the contacts or solder is cracked

nah worst case is you might have killed some ram chips (you would be surprised how tough stuff can be) and if you did kill them, they are only a buck a pop http://www.jameco.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_10001_10001_41339_-1

no but they have to go in the same direction they came out one side is marked with a dot or a U shape, make sure they are all pointing the same direction

they are in sockets right? you can carefully rock them out with a flat head screw driver, but try to not bend the pins and it should be the 24 chips (sounds like you got 48k of ram)
