I have a Plus and SE/30 with working custom backgrounds (you can see it in my profile account). At the moment I cannot remember the apps but they were different for each compact Mac and didn't need particular tweaks. I'm away from home now, if I get back in a few days I'll write here the apps...

Nope, no mods 😀. I have a Myst.img file (should be the one from Macintosh garden), I mount it with DiskCopy and it just runs :). There are some warnings like “this game needs 256 Colors to run” but I click Ok and it starts anyway. Even the QuickTime animations work. Congrats! Another board...

Not in color, but… Not really playable if you don't know where to click… but funny in a way 😃

It works! I installed all the Italian versions necessary and it runs very well. I did this in the following order: System 7.5.3, then 7.5.5, OT 1.1.1, OT 1.3, AppleShare 3.7.4 and it worked on the first try 😀. I couldn’t find OT 1.1.2 so I installed 1.1.1 and it works, does anyone know the...

Thank you so much, @joshc ! In fact I found a friend who is interested in lending me a hand…the thought of repairing it ourselves is very tempting, and in the next months we will probably look into it! I will post again here if there are updates 😃

Thanks for answering! I’m quite sure it’s the Italian version, but I’ll double check next week when I’ll try reinstalling the system again from scratch. Wow that’s quite the archive! I’ll download from here next time! I’ll check again as soon as I can, but if I remember correctly in the...

I just noticed the PDS card is somehow being recognized, as the red LED is on. But the green one is always off…

Hi everyone, I have a working SE/30 with System 7.5.5: the English version works very well, I can connect to the internet with my CNet PDS card (no drivers required), surf the web and use ftp. But then I tried to install the Italian version of system 7.5.5 on another partition and internet...

I thought about it, but I really don't have the time for it right now, university and other things are absorbing almost all my time in a day…but maybe in the future I'll reconsider it. I often feel that having these skills would spare me a trip to a repair store 😀.

I just had the chance to open a package I left in a corner for a while because of lack of time…I found this nice but very yellowed Macintosh Plus, with mouse and keyboard, for 25€ just 2 hours by car from where I live! The owner said he bought it in order to modify it internally with a Raspberry...

😲 that's impressive!

Wow that's great! Thanks a lot, I really don't have the skills when it comes to fixing electronics 😅

Thanks! It's also the first time for me! Thanks, I'll remember that! I hope it will be something I have to do in the distant future 😆

Some months later, thanks to @slomacuser , I got this beautiful Powerlogix G3 500Mhz card to upgrade my PM 9600/300: my very first accelerator! I haven't tested it yet but it's clearly in excellent shape! I'm sure I'll feel the difference in speed with this one!

I never started a comprehensive "conquests" thread until now, mainly because I never thought I'd buy many things in these last years. But I came across some really nice pieces, so I'd like to share them with you guys. Some things may have been already posted, but I don't remember what was lost...
