Consider to fetch a copy of SoundEdit Pro. This beautiful piece of software allows you to open/record/edit sound data and to save it into a sound ressorce file. To get hands on a specific ressorce file you would want to work on, have also a copy of ResEdit available.

Great stuff, keep on going! I appreciate your effort and I am looking forward to make use of this information in my own projects. Thank you very much!

Everytime (back in the day, when I used a 68040 Mac as my daily work machine) I researched for 68040 cache upgrades I found information hinting towards stability issues of several kinds, no matter if even a PPC upgrade was involved. Thus I never invested into any of those cards, because I valued...

I would love to help, but the partial amnesia of this forum combined with my own fragmented memory does not permit to quickly reference you to a complete and proven description of what would work and what not. Anyway, please dive deeper into the documentation. I assume you have already found...

Yes, the operability of a setup might depend on the software used to format the drive. The results vary for each combination of actual storage media hardware, adapter, host computer and drive setup software. A while ago, in the Wiki we assembled a table of tested flash memory with configuration...

I am pretty sure I set up my PowerBook 180 that way, because I was lucky to install a then huge 500 MB harddisk instead of the stock 80 MB harddisk and wanted to experiment with different System installations. As of now, I have no physical evidence at hand, as my beloved 68k machines are in...

Please read this old post: Setting startup disk on LC475. Unfortunately, some references to even older posts are lost. Also, currently (2023-11-12) the Wiki appears not to be available. However, to use any drive, it has to be formatted properly to be operational on the intended host computer...

Just a side note to the driver software used to operate the ZIP drive: There is a software suite called ZIP tools that was originally provided by iomega to use ZIP drives, but one can do without. A patched Drive Setup software (use ResEdit to write a proper entry into an unused ressource to let...

As long as you have an adaptor to properly connect the video card and the display, consider to set the screen resolution by software, overwriting actual sense pin settings. To make any supported display resolution available in System 7.1 (and probably some other System versions), use »Activate...

Thank you for sharing this great piece of information!

I use a BT wireless Matias keyboard that allows to quickly switch between four different host computers (or an iPhone, iPad…). It does not use as high quality mechanical keyswitches as are in the good old Apple Extended Keyboard, but is quite usable. I miss in all the modern keyboards that...

I share this experience and resolved to install a keyboard layout software that disables Caps Lock, Num Lock and Delete keys, and also swaps Ctrl, Alt and Windows keys conveniently. On many PC keyboards it is possible to easily exchange the key caps also, to resemble a more Mac-like layout. That...

Hi, Yes, usually, your setup should work fine out of the box. Depending to the type of connector used to attach the monitor to the video card, probably with an adaptor, issues might occur with regard to adaptor setting and/or sense pin configuration. If you run into a problem, double check if...

A Comm Slot Ethernet card permits to use a second graphics adapter in the LC PDS. Thus you can have both fast Etehrnet and a second display.

Just to make sure: Consider to alter setting of brightness and contrast sliders for the display. Edit: Might the PB150 be one of the machines that will not chime and boot if the buffer battery for PRAM and Clock is depleted? As far as I remeber, the 1xx series PowerBooks have a rechargeable...
