Man I really need to find someone with a 3d printer….

Thanks, could you give me the exact model of the 1400 replacement?

Hi, I am trying to map possible replacements of power supply units for Powerbook and iBook, which are currently sold and available in Europe. So far I found some models at power4laptops.com (based in UK but seems to have other national websites including Italy where I live), and they also sell...

The plastics are indeed really brittle, so I am afraid this could happen to me as well. I guess @finkmac and @joshc are right in the end... I think I will end up offering it locally or maybe delivering it myself at a (not so) wider distance if I manage to sell it. Thanks for your advice everybody.

I received parcels packed like this but never looked for a place offering the service. I will now.

It is an all-in-one model, I am afraid it is impossible..

?

hello everybody. I have a spare (black) 5500/225 Power Macintosh that I am restoring and I plan to put for sale when it will be ready, but... I need suggestions about how it could be packed to survive shipping, since it's a super heavy beast with its 15" internal CRT, and a bit of a rarer model...

It seems to me very very similar to this other one which popped up a few years ago in the Apple II FB group: and ended up being identified as a CAD system: light pen controller + dongle box for protecting the CAD software. If the link works (and it's allowed...) this is the FB post...

repeats to self: no you don't need to buy this, no you don't need to buy this, no you don't need to buy this, no you don't need to buy this, no you don't need to buy this, no you don't need to buy this, no you don't need to buy this, no you don't need to buy this, no you don't need to buy this...

maybe OT, but I see the system text strings embedded in the ROM. I always wanted to make a localized ROM in Italian, I wonder if I should simply edit these strings letter by letter, or is there some disassembled ROM to make it easier.

yes it would make sense:D I was already figuring out how to get a tiny lightsaber to cut that dark side mouse away :D

the official thread mentioned by @ymk is here: https://68kmla.org/bb/index.php?threads/synchr030-s-256mb-sdram-accelerator-for-the-se-30.48307/page-3 so you may want to ask there.

is this so to say, or are you recommending some laser tool to cut the plastic away? In this case, can you be more specific or even share a link to such tools? thanks @LaPorta

I managed to glue it back but it (barely) works with vertical movements, while horizontal (especially to the right) is really not there. I will maybe give it another shot, and if I will not make it... then snipping and converting to optical.
