I've had a Quicksilver kicking around for a few years that I'm finally getting around to restoring. I'd ideally like it to be a hybrid OS 9/X machine, but I'm hitting a rough spot trying to find a suitable upgrade to the stock Geforce2 MX. It doesn't seem like most of the performant OS 9 GPUs...

So there's been a lot of talk of 3.5 mm jacks today, and I had an idea. Storage on an Apple II is kind of hard, considering that the physical media (floppies and cassette drives) is increasingly out of production. Floppy emulation works but costs a not-insignificant amount of money. Has anyone...

I've been working on some Mac Plus repair today, and have reached an impasse. The original problem was that the computer would not turn on (with no humming). According to The Dead Mac Scrolls, this was caused by a burned out transistor and rectifier at Q1 and CR5, respectively. I replaced those...

It also had an ethernet card, which was really nice. It was beginning to show capacitor rot, however, so I figured...

Hello, all. I just purchased a (fully functional) Mac SE for myself, and I was wondering what's typically recommended in terms of a recap on those. Obviously the battery should be replaced, but I've seen conflicting information about what boards should get recapped. What would you guys...
