At some point on one of the PPC threads I mentioned I was doing work on the Adélie Linux distribution, trying to bring up new media on PowerPC. Wanted to give a bit of a progress update. Still no traction on Node.js for 32-bit, so Firefox is still unbuildable. The Solaris people have made a...

So I've been given (for free!) a II with the symptom of "does not power on". Looking, thankfully it has not bombed yet – and yes, the very first thing I did to it after taking these photos was to snip those Vartas off. C7 and C10 don't look so bad, but the legs on UC7, UG8 are a bit bad. Then...

I have a Graphite Rev. C Apple Studio Display with no power adaptor. For the life of me, I cannot find a replacement, nor the specifications of what it would need. I have a universal power adaptor that seems to fit the jack, but I don't know the required voltage nor amperage. I can't even...

The thread on nostalgia made me remember something that I swear I experienced when Jaguar was the current OS, but I've never been able to make Jaguar do on any of my hardware since. When I was messing with Netscape 6 with said friend on her lamp, I swear there was a different beach ball cursor...

The 8•24 NuBus card came today, so I decided my Friday night project would be trying to bring it up on the IIci. It was replacing what I thought was a dead SuperMac Spectrum/8 III. Tried two monitors and no video. Moved it to a different slot, no video. Saw a thread from a number of years...

Is this the sign of a screen in need of a recap? It's still pretty readable, but it's just… weird.

I'm wanting to create a family genealogy book, and I have a pretty good idea of how I want the layout to look in my head but I'm not sure what the best software is to create it with. I'd really like to use the PowerBook 1400c for writing it, so I'm limiting the search to software compatible...

I have a new-to-me PB 1400cs/166 as part of a large haul (which I shall post about further some day…) and I'm having quite a time trying to boot anything on it. The original 1.3GB ATA drive is giving up the ghost, and I've decided to replace it with a 4 GB CF card since the OEM drive sometimes...

I'm taking a crack at learning Toolbox (well, I'm actually starting with CarbonLib) so that I can write some utilities of my very own for Mac OS. I have the basics and have written a little applet that opens a dialog asking for a URL, and then attempts to download the file from the URL on to...
