1986 Macintosh Plus Computer

Filed under: Uncategorized — SpaCeTraNce @ 8:59 pm

I am selling one Macintosh Plus Computer released in 1986. The Macintosh was the first personal computer that started it all. The original Macintosh was released in 1984. This was it’s successor and was released with a whole 1 MB of memory! This was the first computer where you could upgrade the memory using memory modules as apposed to the hard to handle memory chips. The Macintosh Plus used 30-pin SIMM memory modules.

It comes with:

* 1 original Macintosh Plus Computer
* 1 original Macintosh Plus manual (damaged by children and crayons)
* 1 original Dust Cover
* 1 original Keyboard * 1 keyboard cable (doesn’t appear to be original)
* 1 External Hard Disk Drive (HDD) 60MB
* 1 External Floppy Disk Drive
* 1 Printer Manual
* 2 Original Macintosh floppy discs (1 System Tools, 1 Guided Tools)
* copies of various floppies including boot disks
* 1 Floppy Disk Case
* 3 power cables
* 1 scsi cable
* 1 Apple ImageWriter II printer w/cable.
* 1 ImageWriter II ribbon cartridge still in unopened plastic bag

Note: I do have an original Macintosh Mouse but it is missing the ball, therefore I have not included it in the list above. It can be sent if requested. I do have a mouse (not a macintosh mouse) that works with the computer.

Macintosh, keyboard and printer are all in good working condition.

The CRT looks nice and clean. Lines appear in the photographs but not in real life.

The computer requires a floppy disk to boot from (included). When trying to access external HDD or when using computer it will sometimes give an error ID=2 or ID=3. These are software errors probably due to bad/old floppy disks. The original “Macintosh Guided Tour” disk runs w/o any problems. More information on these errors can be found at: http://www.cuyamaca.edu/fgeoola/macecode.asp

I have initialized the HDD, when trying to add files to the HDD I get one of the mentioned errors. The HDD enclosure has an old Seagate drive in it.

This is a great buy for the vintage computer collector. If stored in the right environment, this computer will only go up in value as Apple and the computing world looks back to history with awe!

Integrity one of my core values which is why I give so many details regarding issues this computer may have. I could have just put “it works” because it does… but I want the buyer to be well informed

1938 – Oneida Prestige Grenoble Flatware Set & Chest – 52 piece

Filed under: Uncategorized — SpaCeTraNce @ 1:48 pm

Released in 1938, this set from Oneida/Wm. A Rogers is slightly used but will polish up nicely and make any formal gathering shine!
The box has some wear on it. I tried to capture that in the pictures. I take pictures outside in the sun, therefore you will see reflections of blue and green in some items.

Set Includes:

8 – Dinner Knives 8 1/2″
8 – Dinner Forks 7 1/2″
8 – Teaspoons 6 1/8″
8 – Salad Forks 6 3/8″
8 – Soup Spoons 7 3/8″
8 – Iced Tead Spoons 7 1/2″
8 – Demitase Spoons 4 3/8″
1 – Butter Knife 7″
1 – Meat Fork 8 1/2″
1 – Pickle Fork 6 ”
1 – Round Sugar Spoon 6″

2 of the Soup Spoons are not near as shiny as the rest. You can see it in the picture below.

I am here to answer any question that you may have.

sqldumper failed initialization.

Filed under: Uncategorized — SpaCeTraNce @ 7:16 am

When booting up your computer you receive an error message stating, “sqldumper library failed initialization”. This can happen after you uninstall MS Office, MS Accounting or MS Business Manager.

The problem is related to MS Sql Server.

The fix:

Go to add/remove programs and remove:

Microsoft SQL Server VSS Writer

If you still have a problem try this:

I removed all three SQL files and then did a search for “microsoft SQL Server” and downloaded the Microsoftwww.snapfiles.com/get/sqlserver.html which I then installed and it completely fixed the whole problem.  I now have the entire programs in my Add/Remove programs list again.  So my recommendation is to delete all 3 SQL files and then redownload it from the snapfiles URL and then install it which took about 5-10 minutes to complete, but I no longer have the SQL Dumper error when I startup.  It appears to have completely fixed the whole problem.  I hope this is helpful to anyone still encountering the error.  Angel Blessings, Tyler

Add/Remove Programs has Huge Empty Space

Occasionally a user will open Add/Remove programs on Windows XP and in the list will be a HUGE empty space that is pages and pages long. This happens when a entry in the list is corrupt. To Fix it download and install CCleaner. Open CCleaner and click on the “Tools” button on the left side.

You will then be brought to a screen with the Add/Remove Programs list. Go back to the Add/Remove Programs applet in your control panel and make note of the last item before the blank space.

Now switch back to CCleaner and highlight the item that is after the entry you just made note of. Click the “Delete Entry” button.

Now when you go back to your Add/Remove Programs applet in your Control Panel all should be well.
