    Color Classic color balance issues

    Color Classic on the left has a purplish hue (CC on the right shown for reference purposes). Also, not sure if related, but the Brightness slider in the Screen control panel appears to have no effect on the display. Anyone fixed this before? Is it a cap issue or something else? Thanks in...

    9" Compact Completists?

    Shouldn't the Color Classic be on this list? That is, perhaps, my favorite of the Compact Macs. I have a recapped Color Classic with the Apple IIe emulation board. "Working" on a Mystic and a Takky to complete the set. johnl

    MacBook Pro WiFi card stopped working?

    I realize that a mid-2009 MacBook Pro is a little outside the usual forums here but I thought that others may have encountered a situation similar to mine. I have a mid-2009 MacBook Pro that I use for light work, although I use it intermittently. I typically leave it running. Last week, I...

    Best bridge machine?

    Pretty sweet to have Enet on all those older machines. I'm trying to avoid buying cards for all my older machines!

    Best bridge machine?

    Thanks for these thoughts! The externally-facing machine doesn't need to directly support SCSI -- it's enough for that machine to behave well on the Internet and then pass the files off to an older machine. Beige PPC Mac seems to be the machine of choice for the "middle machine!"

    Best bridge machine?

    Curious to hear the community's thoughts/recommendations. I would like to build an environment that has, at one end, a machine capable of operating on the modern Internet for downloading apps, etc. from, e.g., Macintosh Garden. The other end would be any number of vintage Macs on which the...

    Mini vMac for iPad … interrupt switch?

    Curious — is there a tutorial or a “how to” to help someone build Mini vMac using XCode?

    iSub whine?

    My iSub has begun emitting a whine. Confirmed it was the iSub by unplugging it. tested to see if it was hardware related by muting from the control panel. That also caused the the whine to stop. Anyone else ever encountered this problem? johnl

    Sorbet Leopard Install Problems

    @beachycove has the right approach to this! I struggled with the "official" process. CCC 3.4.7 (the version Macintosh Garden links to for use in the process) wouldn't mount the disk image downloaded from MG's site. I checked the DMG with Disk Utility and it was not corrupt. In my case I did...
