I vaguely remember that at one point in time/model succession, the PSU types for the G3 laptops have changed and stopped being compatible. There are plenty replacement offerings on eBay, but not specifically for the Lombard, only for iBook G3 or Pismo … Which models are compatible with my...

Hi, I have the Mac OS 7.5.3 set of parts of the SMI disk image here (in my (language) case 17 disk-sized parts of the image). When double clicking the first part (named .smi, having the appropriate icon), nothing visible happens, no error message. When I open Disk Copy 6.3.3 manually, and...

I got my hands on a Hurdler CPI Nubus card, that’s a “Parallel” port card (like IEEE1284/“Centronics”). Accordings to some docs it has a declaration ROM onboard, fine, so it’s sitting there and waiting for some data. It came originally with some printer drivers -- but these seem to be lost...

I searched the forum to find comparisons of Asantés 10/100 Nubus card, comparing to onboard 10 MBit Ethernet found in Quadras and PowerMac 6/7/8100, to no avail (that the forum software filters out the number "100" as being “irrelevant” doesn’t help searching, though …) Did no one run some...

Hi, I’ve got two MagicBus cards (Mac SE PDS, one "empty", one with an 68030 accelerator), and two Radius graphics cards matching. But - no cable in between. Looks like a UW-internal SCSI connection, but apparently seems to have 60 pins, not 68. Now – where do I get such cables?

Hi, I got hold of the old Laplink Mac software of the System 5/6ish era, which was together with some 5.25" disks for MS-DOS, to transfer stuff from Macs to PCs without networking (box images) I’d love to use the Sys5 software part, but interface to something UNIXish/for macOS. Does anyone...

Hi, I’m trying to secure my SE/30 during a large conference, and I can’t afford guided security. So I wanted to make use of the "security lock" / chain symbol hole thing on the back of the Mac. But I couldn’t source a plug that goes in there. I found online a photo of that security lock thing...

Hi, I'm running mini vMac on my MacBook, using Mac OS X 10.6.4. I'd like to pass some files (including resource forks) to the System 6 or 7 running within mini vMac. • But I can't unpack Mac OS X-style ZIP-files within mini vMac (since all System6/7-ZIP decompressors I know don't support the...
