Dumbguy monitor question (NEC Multisync 3V)

Got a NEC Multisync 3V, hooked up to my Sega Dreamcast (I'll make it relevant to the list in a sentence or two.) Just powered it on for the first time in a few months...getting no picture. Getting audio, so the DC works, but no picture. So I pulled out my LC and monitor adaptor. Still getting n

ok, what did I do now?

Been playing a with my Mystic a bit recently. Tonight I turned it on and let it sit idle for a few minutes while I took care of something else (ok, I was watching TV.) Then I heard floppy drive go into action (no disc was in there) and an alert signal. All the menu bar items greyed out and I cou

Dragon's Lair Installation

Anyone have this? I rescued a copy from a thrift recently, picking up all the discs from the shelf, but couldn't find the manual. How do I install this? Procedure seems rather non-obvious, no buttons to click, just a text entry field that doesn't respond to the return key. (except by inserting a

Flashbacks of the $500 box

Out thrifting today I spotted a Mac Plus box...with the Mac in it. (It wasn't packed with other stuff like clothes or 8-track tapes.) Also had the keyboard, power & keyboard cables, mouse, manuals, styrofoam blocks for everything, manuals, Apple logo decals, floppy discs, the introductory

Anyone familiar with this card?

Looking for some sort of niftyness to plug into the PDS slot of my new Mystic, I decided on video input and came upon this eBay auction: "Mac Macintosh LC PDS Video Input Card" http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2039891380 Nothing in the description about the card

Mystic, Get!

I guess this now technically off topic. I have a Color Classic Mystic. =^) The procedure so far rather easier than I had anticipated. Planned work isn't over yet for the CCM, but technically it is a Mystic now. I've powered it up and played a little Marathon II on it. Current to-do on

ok, so I pulled out my soldering iron and Dremel (finally getting some use out of it other than sawing the slots of Genesis game consoles to fit Japanese carts,) and went to work. Did the VGA mod despite the thought of, "ugh, more work to do..." Isolated pin 8, no problems, easie

Stopped at a thrift this evening and the first thing I noticed was a unopened 3-pack of 10 800k disc boxes. It was a bit pricey at $10 for the set, but I reached over to pick it up anyway, just to hold for the moment. But as I extended my hand, I a purple box caught my eye. A bi

Anyone know where I can find an older, 68k version of X-Launch? Since I can't figure out why my Launcher is wacky, and nobody here knows either, I thought I'd try looking for an older version of X-Launch, as the current one requires a PPC and OS8. Spent a little time searching this evenin

One Bazillion Dollars to Whoever Figures This Out

Asked this on the Quadlist to no response, so let's try it here. Technically it's on a Quad630, but it's more about System 7.5.5, so let's just imagine I'm working with an LCIII. ;^) I installed Kanjitalk (Japanese localized OS) 7.5.3 with the 7.5.5 update, put in a bunch of games
