    Is the Wiki dead?

    Is there any kind of consensus on what's going on or what the plan is going forward? The 'wiki' seems to be stagnant and honestly the 'articles' feature provided by the forum software seems visually subpar. What's the point of having either if neither is useful or getting contributed to? I'm...

    cracked disc tray on scsi cdrom drive

    I recently obtained a replacement used SCSI cdrom drive for my Power Mac 6100/66. The previous drive (original I think) had a problem with not ejecting the tray (made motor noises but no eject). Unfortunately in the process of using the newer one (which does work at least) I discovered that it's...

    So, whatever happened to RetroChallenge? The website is just sort of gone and there's nothing on the Twitter since February.

    Apple Extended Keyboard

    Got myself an Apple IIe (Enhanced) today!

    Yay, finally bought one off ebay after weeks and weeks of watching for something inexpensive and complete which never materialized. Payed a small fortune (~ USD $200), or will pay one in the very near future. Parents are very handy when you haven't got much (or any) money to spare because of...
