2005-12-13 Thread ClassicMac500
Hey all! Someone here was nice enough to send out a keyboard and mouse for the Mac Plus I recently acquired, but he didn't have a keyboard cable. I have tried making one myself using the pinouts on the internet, but I can't get it to work. For one thing, no one around here has a package of the

Hi Tommy, As a suggestion: try searching on Google for RJ10 plug and then for bulk telephone cable. That might be a better way of making your own cable. I have a feeling that the reason your cable didn't work is because of the wrong plug size. Hope that helps, -Shaun On 12/13/05, [EMAIL

I have an SE/30 that is suffering from a Simasimac logic board, a flickering horizontal trace in the video circuits, a dead hard disk and a worn out floppy disk drive. While I nurse it back to health, it's sitting on a desk in pieces. However, I have very little space in my flat, so I've put the
