    The beige G3 logic board that wouldn't die (Beige G3 µATX build)

    This is very cool! I actually just order a bench frame for my G3 Tower MOBO and plan on something similar. Right now it runs an IDE to Compact flash for a drive. Can you elaborate any on your SATA setup for your system? I would love to run SATA drives on this computer.

    Monitor Solution for Macintosh IIci?

    Yes, that is with the onboard Video. The Adapters I linked to are NOS made by NEC (they say NECmultisync on them). They are made specifically for Mac of course. I remember seeing a settings guide for the switch type recently, but can't remember exactly where. Maybe Operator Headgap site with...

    Monitor Solution for Macintosh IIci?

    I use this adapter: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Apple-Macintosh-PC-Mac-Monitor-Adapter-DB15-to-HD15-VGA-NEC-MultiSync-XV15/254499477704 Works with the onboard video of my IIci, Q700, LCIII. I have to use a switch type with my G3s. The monitor I use is a Viewsonic VA521 for all the machines. It's...

    Audio Waveform Visualizer for Mac 512k to SE/30?

    Right, you have now created the instrument and you need to create a track to play that instrument. The visualization you are looking for shows up somewhere when you play your track. I would suggest looking on you tube for tutorials on using a Tracker. You might also be able to import a .mod...

    Audio Waveform Visualizer for Mac 512k to SE/30?

    No, it's not. It's not an audio editor, it is an audio sequencer. Essentially each instrument is a "sampler" that you load a typically SHORT sample into and then you can Play that sample like an instrument, or you can trigger it. With a tracker it's more akin to programming your samples and...

    Audio Waveform Visualizer for Mac 512k to SE/30?

    You can't use .wav files. That's a PC native sound format that early Mac programs didn't understand. You need to use either .aiff or .snd files, and that is going to depend on the program as well. Also, PlayerPro is a .mod player as Bolle pointed out. It's not so much an audio editor as much as...

    Lucky IIx acquisition

    Definitely some impressive results!!! I'm looking forward to some nicer weather to try this out too.

    Tips for speeding up an SE

    I too have an SE that I got for MIDI functions. I was wanting to use it with my Akai Samplers and a super early version of Cubase. I know what you mean about the screen re-draw, but that is just the speed of these computers. They are SLOW. I am also wanting the get the slow/funky MIDI timing...

    Setting up SCSI2SD on 68030 (Color Classic) and drive size limitations

    You can also use Lido. It's super quick as it doesn't verify the format. It will also format most any drive.

    Setting up SCSI2SD on 68030 (Color Classic) and drive size limitations

    Four separate devices at a bit less that 2 Gigs each is how I set the devices up. I use SCSI IDs 1-4 and leave ID 0 open for an Internal hard drive. Using a V5.5 SCSI2SD I've been able to boot any classic mac I have that has a SCSI port on the back. The only other SCSI device that I have and use...

    Got this cool looking, old terminal.

    Wow does that bring back some memories sitting a very cold room coding COBOL and RP/G in High school. Aside from getting an old VAX to put in your basement, with a manual and the Modem port on the back, I would think that some tinkering could get that old terminal hooked up to the serial GPIO...

    Configure MacTCP?

    Cangrats!!! I'm also curious what the solution was. It's also kinda weird seeing the Google splash screen on a Plus =P

    Install PowerPC Mac OS X Faster!

    I used to use Target disk mode quite a bit back in the day. I would but a machine in target disk mode then use my iBook G4 installer disk from my iBook to put 10.5 on the target machine. At the time the iBook installer was the only copy of 10.5 I had and would only work in the iBook. I didn't...

    Is it possible to download software and transfer it to a floppy disk via USB Floppy Drive from a 2018 MacBook Pro?

    I guess I take a slightly different approach to getting stuff on and off of old machines. Granted I don't have any that don't have a SCSI port on the back, so the SCSI2SD v5.5 is my goto solution. However, the computers that have Ethernet cards I usually transfer files via FTP. I use Fetch 3.03...

    Networking on LC III with ethernet card

    A blinking green light usually indicates that it is connected (cord plugged in) but not making a connection. The light should go solid green with a connection. I tried for a while with MacTCP but gave up on it. Install Open Transport 1.1.2 or 1.1.3 and use DHCP instead of manual. You also need...

    SCSI2SD v5.5 and the Mac SE/30

    It's also nice in that it has worked with all the macs I have that have a SCSI port. I set mine up for IDs 1,2,3,4 (1.9G each) and left off 0. That way I can plug it into a computer with an internal drive and not run into ID conflicts. Makes for transferring a snap as well as setting up internal...

    Connecting old Macintosh to the net using serial

    I got the above ppp to work fine on a Raspberry Pi Zero W using the above instructions. Note that you have to start the service with: sudo systemctl start rpippp.service Now to make this all happen at boot up on the Pi. Thanks for the instructions Jeff, if you are still around!!

    scsi2sd best practices

    I know this post is a bit old, however, I thought I'd chime in about the above quote from chicken systems. They sell software that translates raw and proprietary sampler formats into pc/mac usable audio formats to be able to load samples into and out of your sampler. (As I understand it it will...
