Does anyone have the schematics for the PowerMac 7600's logic board? I've got a modem port that doesn't work, but the printer port works fine.

I was playing around with White Knight terminal program and noticed it had a Host Mode option. It's pretty bare bones and you don't even get a prompt when you connect. In fact, all the Host Mode does is monitor incoming text for certain keywords like DRIVE, DIR, SENDY, RECY, etc. and they must...

Anyone have any luck getting DOOM to run on a PC Card? I recently got a Reply DOS on Power Mac card w/133MHz Pentium for my Power Mac 7600 and have Wolf3D up and running fine but every version of DOOM I try crashes. Here's what happens in Windoze 95 (which is the same that happens in DOS) when...

Hey guys, My Quadra 605 w/BlueSCSI v2 running System 7.5.5 freezes up intermittently when I'm copying large files between hard drives or from my server. I thought this might be from overclocking the logic board to 33 MHz, but it never freezes with copying when all extensions are off. I've...

Blah Blob! is a short platformer game made in HyperCard. You control the titular Blah Blob as you bounce through twenty levels of increasingly devious obstacles. Play the whole game straight through trying your best not to explode, or speedrun the levels individually or even the whole game...

In the quest to make my IIsi as speedy as possible, I've been migrating from System 7.5.5 to 7.1. The only thing I can't get working in 7.1 that works fine with 7.5.5 is copying files to my netatalk file server running on a Raspberry Pi. Copying files from the server works fine, but when I try...

Hey guys, I recently acquired a IIci that just gives me a gray screen upon boot. I've got 12V and 5V at the HD power connector, so I'm assuming the PS is good. The board has some corrosion in the expected places near the surface caps, and C10, C13, and the IC at UD13 basically fell off with a...

I got a Quicksilver a few years back that had a couple of TAXI PCI cards in it and I could never find much info on them, other than that they were used to interface with early digital cameras. I had the cards up on eBay for quite a while and someone finally bought one of them. I asked him what...

Well, I vowed never to buy another IIsi after I paid big bucks for one back in college and my parents bought an LC III, which was 5 MHz faster than my IIsi, for $1000 cheaper less than a year later. But, a very-clean non-working IIsi came up on here for $50 and I was looking for a project. I...

Hey guys, I'm still trying to get a dead IIsi I recently bought up and running. I've recapped the PS and logic board and now get a chime upon boot but the HD (known to work) won't spin up. Initially I thought it may be a PS issue as I was only getting 10V at the HD connector but I'm actually...

Hey guys, I recently picked up a Techworks IIsi Ethernet network card set for my yet-to-be-running IIsi. And I paid a lot more for it than the IIsi itself! :) A couple of questions: Does anyone have a manual for this? It's got a couple of jumpers that I'm not sure are for what. I do have...

Hey guys, I recently picked up a dead IIsi, recapped the logic board and power supply, and now it chimes when turned on but I get no video and the hard drive does not spin up. I measured the voltage at the hard drive power connector and I only get about 10.8V on the 12V rail, and 4.98V on the...

I got a Mac SE in a lot of Apple stuff and it has a MacViking card going to a male DB9 port in the back. It says "c 1987 by Moniterm Corp" and there's also a sticker that says "Viking 1 & 2400 Controller for the Mac SE." I can't find much info about it anywhere - I'm assuming it's a video...

As I posted on FB, but I'm posting here so it doesn't fade into oblivion... Somebody posted some fun things to do with your networked-vintage Mac a while back on FaceBook, which I totally stole and have since added to. So if you're that guy, sorry I don't remember your name but thanks for...

Ok, this isn't quite 68k or PowerPC - related, but the software does run on old '06 Macs.  Mystic BBS runs on 32-bit Macs running OS X 10.6 and higher, and they're still updating the program now, unlike Hermes II BBS software.  Has anyone played around with this software on their Mac?   I've...

I love anything with the old Apple logo on it, so when I found a cheap dead Apple HD 20SC on eBay, I had to have it.  And I'd been looking for something to put my MacSD in, thinking that this would be better as an external device so I could use it with both vintage Macs and Apple IIgs. I had...

So my TDK 614-0003 power supply in my LC III recently died.  It was making a clicking sound and only putting out a few volts.  After recapping it, it's making good voltage but still making a clicking sound and the voltage goes up and down with these clicks.  Any idea what I should replace next...

Maybe you guys have already seen this, but I just discovered theoldnet.com!  I've been wanting to browse the web with my vintage Macs but the lack of unsecure web sites makes this difficult.  This site has a ton of links to unsecure sites to explore - good times!  Anyone know of any other sites...

Hey guys, I've been looking for a Macintosh BBS for a while now and just found Applefritter BBS which apparently has been up since March.  It's a graphical BBS modeled after Apple's eWorld online service and requires you to download NovaTerm client software in order to connect.  What's cool is...

Anyone know where the resource for the ProDOS HD icon resides in System 7.5.5?  You can't do a simple cut and paste to that icon.  I hate having B&W icons on my LC III!   I was able to colorize my server icon at least with a simple cut and paste...
