I’ve heard both are ok, but wondering if anyone knows advantages of one over the other... While checking my bag of cables, I found both, and it made me wonder..

A couple years ago I put a mSATA SSD in my G4 mini, running 9.2.2 V8, and today I thought maybe I could speed it up by using the FireWire bus, rather than the internal ATA 100.. . I already have the mSATA to SATA adaptor, and would just need to get a SATA to FireWire case. Anybody have any...

After a recap, I got the chime back, but still have screen issues.  Checked the electromotive force, and I’m reading 13.51 and 4.47... and drifting lower & higher Both are too far out of spec., and I’m asking for help on finding out where I should start with this one.  Edit When reading...

I looked at my options, and bought a 128GB mSATA drive, and ATA adapter, for a combined total + shipping = $22.38, and replaced the 80GB spinning platters in an A1103 1.5Ghz, 1GB, and now 120GB storage. I split the drive into 2 partitions an put OS 9 and 10 on there. I think I’ll take OS 10...

Before I put it away, I thought I’d post a picture of my SCSI adapter with disk mode switch, for those that haven’t seen one.  Switch off, it allows for attaching a external disk. Switch on, it turn the PB into a SCSI disk, for backup / syncing with home / office computer.  The ones without a...

I re flowed the joints 3 years ago, and changed C1 to a 3.9uf 250v metalized polyester last year, and this year I get this...

Does anyone know what causes this, and what will fix it? I pulled it out of storage and wired up a new PSU (IBM 16v 4.5A), and was disappointed to see these lines.  The top half was worse, but after squeezing the top edge, it became better than the bottom half.   Next, see if I can rebuild...

So, I see my old telephone sitting there, and decide to find out the fact..... I pull out my early Macintosh keyboard cable (128k, 512k, Plus). I pinned out both of them, and it was the telephone hand set cable that was backwards... Apple has the standard pin 1 to pin 1, pin 2 to pin 2, etc...

I’ve been thinking of it, on and off, for a few years. I would use the method, starting on p27 of: http://www.ccadams.org/se/classicmac2.pdf I know that some people think that only “plug in” mods should be made, and that soldering chips onto the logic board ruins the whole thing, and kills...

HDD power connector from a SE/30 analog board….. Add flux, heat, solder, done…. Yes…. I did the whole board as well…. I know the guy that I got this from, and I know he flew it to LA & back, and home to England & back, a few times.. He never had problems with it, back in the early...

Is it possible to put a computer into Target mode without a keyboard? I usually use Target mode headless as well. Sometimes it's just annoying to connect everything... even if just for a few seconds.

It’s not really a conquest, as much as a cool thing I have. Someone I know, will put things in the garage “for storage”, and then 6 months later he’ll tell me it went into the trash…. Well… I got to this before he did it again.. Travel case for compact Macintoshes. Hard plastic, room for...

Does anyone know the value of C10 on a SE & FDHD & Superdrive? It's next to the speaker & battery & SCSI One pic is a good FDHD, and the other a bad Superdrive Where did C10 go? Maxell ate it.

I recently turned on my SE/30, and as it was about to finish booting, I turned down the brightness, went too far and went all black, when I turned it back up, I saw a vertical line…… Well, I opened it up and went through the analog board, and fluxed, flowed, and filled all the joints… Its all...

I'd like to use it with my SE/30, but the $250 adaptor is just too much….. If I found a cheap Iici, IIsi, IIvx, IIvx, i could plug it in right away... And, I have the adaptor for the Iix, which is how I came to own the whole thing…. I'd like to use it…. But it's just sitting there --jim

I  pulled out my 512kE, after about 5 or 6 months since I last used it, flip the switch, plop in the floppy, and I hear a motor continually running, and get the "Can't Find Startup" screen….  I shut down, poked the disk out, flipped the switch again,  and the same happens…. How do I fix this...
