Hi guys, been a while, I just recently picked up a Power Mac G4 DP 800 MHz Quicksilver, I installed Mac OS 9.2.2 because I wanted classic compatibility with games. For browser duties, I am using the last version of Classilla, which works fine. The download speeds are a bit slow. The Power Mac...

Hi guys, I'm starting the process of recapping the logic board of my Macintosh LC III, I have enough 10 uF 16V caps, but no 47uF 16V caps or a 100 uF 6V cap, any specific caps recommended for the 47 and 100 uF 16v caps? I'll be looking to  buy from Mouser as they are pretty close to me. Thanks...

I really went ahead and decided to take my M0487 Apple Keyboard II for cleaning, I took the keys off, but did not take apart the part underneath. After I put back everything together, several keys failed to function, keypad, delete key are some things that didn't work, any ideas on what to do to...

I've being trying without success to connect my Powermac G4 to my Network Attached Storage, I've followed the instructions in connecting it, but it freezes every time. My network attached storage is basically a Raspberry Pi with an External USB Harddrive. The NAS is setup with Samba and I...

Starting to get my PowerMac G5 DP 2.0 GHZ (Powermac7,3) working properly again. However, upon booting it up, it's not seeing some of the RAM that was installed, could just be a simple thing, but I'm planning on upgrading the amount of RAM. Is the PowerMac G5 picky about what RAM it will accept...

I never knew this, but you can find crazy deals for cheap Airport Extremes, like the one I got for $5, I'm seeing them all over the place for $20 or less. Honestly, I'm not sure of how good they are, but I figured for the price, I couldn't be doing to bad. Also for the record, even though it...

So I found this guy selling a Powerbook 1400c/166 for $85, the post is 5 months old. What is this laptop worth, I'm thinking $20, but he says it's definitely worth more and wouldn't budge. Laptop is in working condition. Thoughts?

So, just realized how slow it would be if I connected my PowerMac G4 Quicksilver to wifi, even if I could, which I can't because last I checked my wifi doesn't have WEP, I think... I could be mistaken, but they the Airport card installed in my G4 Quicksilver doesn't support WPA security...

I'm looking for information, if it exist, to create floppy disk on either a Windows 10 machine, a modern Mac OSX, or even something like a Powermac G4 with OSX 10.4.11 or loaded possibly with an older OS like Mac OS 9.2? I want to use these floppies for a Macintosh SE FDHD and a Macintosh IIci.

So my Apple Color Plus 14" Display works fairly well, however, the switch doesn't want to stay in the on position, I have to hold it for it to stay on. Does anyone know how to fix this?

While working on a Macintosh IIci, the negative pad for Capacitor C16 came off during capacitor removal. What can I do to fix this problem?

Hi guys, I have my Apple Powermac G4 Quicksilver setup and I was trying to setup the email program and had no luck with setting it up with my Hotmail/Outlook email account. Is the old Apple Mail program a no go or is there something I am not doing? Also if this is a no go, is there software that...

I'm looking at ordering a set of capacitors for my Macintosh IIci.  I found the reference picture to find all the capacitors, but I'm not sure about the SMD capacitors, I've only really worked on the more common types of capacitors. Anyone have a list for these capacitors for what I need? Side...

So at the local e-waste recycling center, I found the following: Beige PowerMac G3 (Non-tower) Macintosh Performa 550 Macintosh LC III (Seems to be missing a chip that would go in the square socket, FPU Chip?) Are any of these worth getting? What should I expect in regards to problems? What...

So, now that I have a mouse to work with, I can finally explore my Macintosh SE FDHD.  I understand that the hard drive is probably functioning on borrowed time, I was wondering how I could migrate the contents of the old hard drive to a new hard drive or SCSI2SD setup, it still has a bunch of...

What is the expansion slot on the logic board for my Macintosh SE FDHD? What can I put in there?

So today, was a pretty good haul, picked up a Powermac G4 Quicksilver Dual 800MHz Processor, 1.25GB of ram, that I paid $30 for which included a 17" Apple Studio Monitor but no hard drive, but that wasn't an issue since I have spares to work with. Specifications: Power Mac G4 PowerMac3,5...

I'm starting to look for an ADB keyboard and mouse for my Macintosh SE FDHD. It seems like there are several variants out there. My preference is to have the keypad or extended keyboard. Are there models that are recommended over others? Are there adapters to use more common interface such as...

Does anyone have a monitor solution for the Macintosh IIci that doesn't break the bank, proper CRTs are not easy to find or they are expensive on eBay. I would also like the solution to work with a PowerPC Macintosh 7200/90 that I got at the same time. Thoughts? Thanks in advance for any advice...

Hi guys, I'm new hear, I've just picked recently a pretty clean Macintosh SE FDHD. I'm looking at doing a recap as a preventative measure for the analog board for now. Everything currently functioned before I took it apart for cleaning, and I see no signs of leakage or bulging caps. So far I...
