    IIcx ADB problem...

    Hey all. I have a IIcx that's been working fine up until last night, when I tried to install an ADB-PS2 adapter to use with a Logitech mouse. The adapter didn't seem to work, and worse, now my ADB ports don't seem to work at all, except for the power button on the keyboard. The Mac boots...

    Older benchmarking tools...

    I'm a sucker for benchmarking. I've been using Speedometer 4.0, but thought that maybe I'd like to try MacBench. Is there a version of MacBench that works not only under System 6, but also tests PPCs natively as well? And if so, is there a place where I can get it? A Google search only seems to...

    Painting the metal case of a Quadra 800/840av

    I thought I'd touch up the metal portion of the case on one of my 840av's (it's pretty scratched up), and was curious if anyone knew of a spray paint that matches the original color closely? All the spray paint I've been able to find seems to be a much darker shade of gray. Thanks!

    Registered version of Fantasm?

    I've been playing with Fantasm lately, and was wondering if anyone had a registered version (versions 2 or 3)? I have no problem paying for it, but development has ceased and I have nobody to give money to! The versions I see online are the unregistered ones.

    ADB to USB adapter?

    I know all about USB to ADB adapters, but did anyone make an adapter that goes the other way around? In other words, I'd like to use a USB keyboard and mouse on an ADB Mac (a Nubus Mac, so a USB card is not an option). I would think that if you can go one direction, it'd be trivial to go the...

    Home Desk Hypercard Stack

    Anyone have this? It's an old Hypercard stack in the motif of a rolltop desk. I'm trying to track the stack down for a buddy.

    SE video questions...

    Hey all - I've been thinking of a project built around an SE, and had a couple of questions. One of the things I'd like to do is drive an LCD as the primary display, and the obvious way to do this is to obtain a PDS video card. But I'd also like to be able to run early versions of the System...

    Older versions of MPW...

    Anyone have an older version of MPW that would run on Systems earlier than 7.5.x? I have the current version from Apple's site, but I have a need to do some System 6 development, and would prefer to do it on hardware that is a little weak for 7.5. I can always do this with a different IDE such...

    G4 DA problems with OS X installation...

    Hey all - as you might know, I've been enjoying my 1.5GHz DA G4 running 10.4 for about a month now, but I've encountered a problem. The HDD began making a repeating griding sound. It's kind of hard to explain, but basically the computer will pause with the spinning ball for about 20 seconds...

    G4 Digital Audio 533 Questions...

    Hello all - I just picked up one of these guys from Craigslist for $20, and would like to build it into a decent box for Tiger. But I've been out of the OS X game for a long time, and have some questions. I don't do anything computationally intensive, but a slow UI drives me nuts. Will a decent...
