    Switzerland: PowerBook PCMCIA Expansion Module (with PB 540c)

    Unless it's a PB 550c but the seller would surely have mentioned that.

    Switzerland: PowerBook PCMCIA Expansion Module (with PB 540c)

    There is an auction (for want of a better word) in Switzerland for a PowerBook PCMCIA Expansion Module (rev. C, I think) and it comes with a free working PowerBook 540c, cables & charger. At CHF 600 (roughly USD 660), it is much too pricey for my liking but there may be some collectors who find...

    Look what the Easter bunny brought

    I had a look for an AppleSauce and found that they are sold out, which is a pity. It looks like something worth saving for. What any equivalents are there? https://applesaucefdc.com/

    Look what the Easter bunny brought

    I don‘t. What is AppleSauce? Does it make a bit-for-bit copy of the disk?

    Look what the Easter bunny brought

    To go with my 1985 system, which at the moment is a 512K, a LaserWriter Plus waiting to be fixed and MacWrite on 400K floppy, I present what I think v1.2 of Aldus PageMaker. These last two pictures are of a Macally 6-port FireWire card. I had never seen one before and bought it immediately...

    8.6 crashing on a Power PC upgraded Quadra?

    I seem to remember a thread on this topic a few years ago on 68kmla.org where a rare newer version had been found and was posted in the thread. I'll go look for it when I get home.

    Thunder IV GX - What am I missing?

    In real world applications how do you know whether QuickDraw acceleration is on? What is faster? MacDraw? CAD applications? Do windows redraw faster? @ObeyDaleks Don't be too disappointed with the speed of the Radius Thunder GX IV on a Mac II. This card was designed for high-end Quadras and the...

    There is an ISO of a Formac driver CD up on the Macintosh Garden. https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/formac-drivers-version-2011-01-05-archive As for Number9 (<accent="Japanese">number 9, number 9, number 9 ...</accent>), isn't it made by Initio?

    What version of the driver are you using? It's a long shot but there may be a later version that may help.

    I had him in mind and I posted here because of him. I do like that it is called a stealth serial port. Ah, Steve Jobs and slots.
