Recently, I stumbled into two Micron XCEED Color 30s. Since I have two SE/30s here, I thought it would be nice to make at least one of them into an internal greyscale machine, but of course neither of them came with the yoke adapter board or adapter harness. I know this isn't exactly...

I recall reading a lot of posts here and there about a number of forum members who are very well-seasoned in the use of our old machines for recording, both when they were current and relevant, and now as well. I recently picked up a WGS 9150/80 that was apparently used in a studio, as its hard...

I purchased a pair of iPods from reekdaddy on the forum a while back. The third-generation iPod works great - it dislikes this Windows formatted 30gb disk I have lying around, but the 20gb in it works great. The first-generation iPod, however, is a little more fun. The first thing it did was...

This has actually been sitting in my closet for...sheesh, probably close to a year now. I just this week hauled it out again to tinker, and the results were...quite pleasing, actually. I purchased this machine originally to do an ATX motherboard conversion. It cost me a grand total of $80...

On a local car forum, of all places, there is a phenomenal marketplace. Car enthusiasts of all kinds gather there to discuss...well, cars, obviously, but also a variety of other topics that don't pertain to automobiles at all, including electronics, video games, computers, and society and...

I believe one of the traces on my Duo's keyboard is severed or broken somewhere. I'm actually fairly sure I know which one (the one on the lower sheet which goes from the Control key to the connector tab) but I don't know how to go about fixing it. I could replace the keyboard - in fact, with...

I am the terror that crawls in the night. And by "terror that crawls in the night," I actually mean "loser who prowls the local Craigslist and Kijiji listings for old Macs." (Kijiji is a similar site owned by eBay, more popular in Canada than the States, I think.) Recently, I decided I needed a...

I have absolutely no reason to want a Newton. I have a Nokia N800, I have a Palm Zire 72, I have a BlackBerry for a phone, and all kinds of other gadgets and gizmos that have been exceptionally effective in serving my personal data needs. The Nokia N800 in particular is one of the most capable...
