You could also always try some completely insane nonsense like I have done in the past: I've successfully hooked a SCSI to FW adapter to the external SCSI port of Macs before, and hooked the FW end to a G4 or something, and then fired up the old Mac. The entire SCSI chain of the old Mac appears...

Very nice! It is amazing to me how many people make these sorts of things for the community.

Ahh...the infamous "hardware acceleration" option.

Granted, this isn't PPC, but there is no area for Intel I can see, so here goes... I have two replacement LG DVD R/W drives in my Mac Pro. Both are the same. Both are SATA drives connected to the ATA bus via ATA to SATA adapters. Never had an issue with these with HDs or otherwise. The drives...

Did they only use 40 MB tapes? One would assume that from the "40 SC" bit. Odd, though.

It also is limited to the speaker: sound output via the audio Jack is unaffected.

As others have said, the housing is fully compatible. However: remember to replace ALL the electronics, including the display board to motherboard cable, as the C and CS cables are NOT the same and not interchangeable. If at all possible, I’d do what I did: scoured eBay for a 1400 that is as...

A lot of the time just resetting the router will temporarily fix this. Another solution (which I finally employed on my network when I had similar issues), is to have the router assign a static IP to each device based on their MAC address. That way, the router physically cannot assign the same...

The battery is for holding the PRAM settings and time for the clock. Not strictly necessary for the operation of these machines at all. They do sell equivalents on Amazon and the like if you want it. I keep my working machines with their batteries, though many do not.

Absolutely. Most times I don’t bother (and, frankly, with a Plus that doesn’t have a fan, I never have). For that LCIII with fan, there could be a significant dust collection under there. All depends on operating conditions: I’m sure that you, too, have seen from totally pristine drives to ones...

This looks like a very nice project. Two suggestions on top of all the very good ones above: If you want a set of adjusting sticks...

Very nice! You have an AppleSauce to image those floppies?

Probably the best haul I've heard of all year right there.

The others are hidden inside.

@halkyardo Yes, it does mess things up. I had issues after my SillyTinySCSI was disconnected from my IIfx that had a built-in ethernet card and the DaynaPort drivers were still installed. That is how I knew they need to be uninstalled. I must say: patching the System file seems a very crude and...

Those DaynaPORT/Asanté drivers inject some sort of code into the System file itself (as I recently discovered myself). You need to run the original installer you used, and choose the uninstall option to remove it.

It sounds very coincidental...I am not sure that one has to do with the other.

Bottom line is: System 6 does not do file sharing out of the box. Only System 7 and up does. One machine needs to either run System 7 OR System 6 File Server (which will turn it into a dedicated server only) to share files between the two. It doesn’t matter what version of AppleTalk/AppleShare...

Those sorts of things are really cool :). Little usability enhancements.

I never realized how many tinkerers there were for these kinds of things. My goal has always been straight preservation: nothing more. Once I get a machine in fully functioning shape, that’s it, I’m done. It is intriguing to me how many of you do these things “just because.”
