Today I managed to find myself a free floating G3 card, albeit one without the cables to allow for a proper HPV card to be used along side it. I am thinking bout tossing it in to my 7100, but I was trying to figure out a few things before I did so. Is the bodge wiring visible in the top left of...

As the title says, I'm looking to figure out what kind of cards I can use to finally get ethernet going on my SuperMac I'm effectively restrained to using 8.1 for now as I am unable to find more 5v EDO, which is making googling this exceptionally hard.

Posting this because I am unsure of how to even figure out a fix for this. I have this card inside my SuperMac C600, and there's back and or colored dots in a pattern all across the screen. When you increase the resolution, they appear more often, but in roughly similar places, and when you...

So I am in the process of getting the 300MHz G3 PDQ Powerbook that I got recently up to speed, and I am encountering a few strange issues. First and foremost, I am unable to get OSX 10.2 installed, as it both forgets to keep the backlight on, and it freezes moments later. It also froze moments...

So the building I used to work in is being decommissioned in order to build some apartments, and there’s tons of forgotten about crannies with forgotten about boxes from 20 years ago. And in a box hidden on a shelf were two nice cards. Awesome, I can finally take the AV out of my 7100/80AV and...

As I seem to be finding more and more interesting apple machines as time goes on, a guess I’ll just make an overarching thread. And, well, at least I have a literally white whale to show off this time. Yes, I finally managed to find an Apple IIGS, and in obscenely good condition. It doesn’t...

While this lad isn't an absolute unit like the later PowerPC based machines, I am happy to have it. I would consider this kind of machine one of my Beige Whales, as it's something that I've wanted to get but I was never going to spend the money most would ask for. Functionally, it's more of a...

Earlier today, I managed to pick up an LC II. Once I got home, I opened it up, and cleaned out what dust had collected over the years, then went to turn it on. I currently don't have a DB-15 to VGA converter to allow me to get video out of it, but I thought I should at least plug it in to make...
