Honestly, for myself, I have no compelling need - I found myself a Gravis Gamepad and CH FlightStick. But it was a long hunt, and I would definitely have bought a device like this if one had been available. I'd have thought the way to go would be to make commonly available devices (something...
Does anyone know what the circuit diagram for the NewTechnology PowerClip is? Would there be any particular difficulty in creating one - I wouldn’t mind giving my Quadra a bit of pep, but I can’t find an original anywhere!
Woohoo! That fixed it. Would it be possible to do the same thing in A/UX - accepting that the network functionality would only work in the MacOS compatibility layer and not in Unix as well?
Bingo Cheesy and Halyardo! Not 'fuses' at all - and now it springs into life with MacTCP and System 7.5. It's not all sweetness and light though, because (whilst everything works in System 7.5), I can't get it to work with System 7.1 or (the one I really want working other than A/UX) System 6...
Nope. No jumpers that I can see. There appears to be a light on the board (at least, it looks like a bulb - and it's labelled LT1) but it doesn't light. And there's a block of what appear to be fuses - but they're very odd looking. The Nubus slot is fine when I put a video board in it. There...
Hmm. Racal's Interlan card is either rubbish - or mine is broken. Or I'm a muppet. That possibility mustn't be discounted. I'm using it with a Lantronix LTX-T transceiver (because it's the only one I have that's slender enough to reach the AUI port on the card) - but none of the lights on...
I can't remember - I can only remember what they did. One was a fractal generator, one was one of those message of the day things, and one was a game like space invaders but the player has to control two shooters, one on the x-axis and one on the y-axis and you can only kill an invader in the...
I used to love "The Mac". My collection got turned to papier mache in a flood. I can't find an archive online. All those awesome old 'mac'azines, lost to history. The Mac were also the first people to 'publish' my software, on a cover disk. Even I don't have a copy anymore!
Instead of sTunnel, which I couldn't get to work either, what about this? https://github.com/PascalHarris/NetGateway
It's been a while since I last worked on it - and there were some things which didn't work right - but the instructions are there, and I was at least able to get it to go with...
Nope. Definitely no need to DIY. It’s amazing how old a Mac laptop needs to be before DIY becomes necessary. And when it is that old the batteries tend to be fairly easy to rebuild anyway.
Dead easy to replace the batteries - and I've done it on my my (now sold) 2013 MacBook Pro and my 2011 MacBook Air (which I still have). I always want a reputable brand, so here's a choice of two.
Newer may be better than new, but they don't do the latest computers.
iFixIt will even do...
