[Hidden-tech] Legacy Mac needed for ca. 1986 music software app.

[Chris Miles]

A lot of times you can resolder the points on a classic Mac logic board 
and it will start working. The capacitors on those boards tend to leak. 
I found a web page that talks about fixing these and most of this rings 
true (I used to repair Macs back in the day).

Also, check with YES computers, Mark tends to hang on to old equipment. 
In fact I saw a Mac Portable in the front window last weekend and that 
can run 6.0.8. I bet he'd be glad to help out, he's a nice guy.
