    BeOS PowerPC Software and GoBe Productive

    +1 for the archival efforts, thanks! I'd be happy to test it too, although I can't access my PPC-BeOS machine too often. Was the GoBe Productive suite released for PPC or was there an Intel version as well? (Also to note: my PowerCenter 132 is now running BeOS succesfully; I had issues with...

    BeOS PowerPC Software and GoBe Productive

    Thanks for the link Skate! Thanks, good points! I found this sentence "All 603- and 604-based Power Computing models are supported" so I am somewhat hopeful... I think I was at the time using the built-in graphics the machine has. I now have a Matrox Millenium II (mac-rom flashed) in it too...

    BeOS PowerPC Software and GoBe Productive

    Hah, nice to see this thread, just as during the last two weeks or abouts, I've been experimenting for the first time (for me) with BeOS on x86. After some struggle with finding a compatible GPU and then drivers for my sound card, it's now running nicely on my Pentium I 233Mhz with 64MB of RAM...

    portable power adaptor cap list

    It's glued together and needs to be cracked open, can be done relatively cleanly (pics from my PB100s PSU):

    How to download files on a Mac OS 9 computer?

    I've been using this combo lately (when feeling lazy and not using a local FTP server or other solutions): download GetDown Classic onto your old Mac (you can get it from http://www.68k.party/software/ which is non-https so should open just fine). This utility will let you download files...

    Centris 610 goes from LC040@20Mhz to full '040 and 25Mhz

    Don't worry, it is a fresh one (and being checked regularly) :) 🔋🆕

    Dell Latitude CPi reactivation

    I have one, got it second-hand and used for quite a while (Win98, which was already vintage at that point). If I recall, press Fn+F7 to scale up smaller resolutions to full screen (won't look too good, but in some cases nicer than having that postcard-size in the middle).

    BlueSCSI v.1 case

    Not the exact same but these are still available: https://github.com/erichelgeson/BlueSCSI/tree/main/3D-Files/1.1/external-db25

    Centris 610 goes from LC040@20Mhz to full '040 and 25Mhz

    I do wish my machine had built-in ethernet; it wasn't easy to get that Nubus-adapter and then a Nubus-ethernet card that works with A/UX as well! I read about the serial ports not working with higher speeds but didn't know about the built-in ethernet getting borked too!

    Centris 610 goes from LC040@20Mhz to full '040 and 25Mhz

    Well yes, I didn't realize this until just today as I removed the stock oscillator... 😅 Had a quick peek at Mouser and couldn't find DIP 12.5Mhz part so at least I got the FULL 25Mhz for my effort! :geek:

    Centris 610 goes from LC040@20Mhz to full '040 and 25Mhz

    A small success story... I've had my Centris 610 for almost 20 years now. As time went on I wanted to experiment with A/UX which meant I upgraded the CPU from the stock LC040 to a full 040, the part I was able to source for that was a XC68040HRC25M, ie. a 25Mhz part. As the oscillator on the...

    3com Ethernet dongle

    I looked at my pile of 3Com Etherlink cards, and found these two notes: 3C-PC-COMBO-CBL (RJ45 + Coax dongle) -> works on 589D/E. Foxconn 07-0408-000 0035 (RJ45 dongle, number on cable) -> works on 574BT. I think I've tested these around and it shouldn't hurt trying, but it probably will only...

    SCSI Enclosure Recap Warning

    I might have one of those enclosures as well, might need to check on that! I had vertical SCSI hard disk enclosure that released some cap-fumes just a couple of months ago! Worked fine after a recap. I have another external SCSI CD-R drive by Yamaha. It's my go-to external cd-drive as it seems...

    Rayovac 4.5 battery replacement hack

    You might want to replace the battery in your multimeter (battery symbol on-screen), it's not uncommon for a multimeter to measure high when it's running on low-battery (reference voltage too low) Been there myself... :)

    Releasing AirTalk: Wireless plug-and-play LocalTalk dongle

    Got mine today. It's a VERY polished product, and it worked straight out of the box! Thanks to all the people involved in the design! (y) Really neat the way you used the included iPhone-style pick for pressing the buttons :D

    Adjusting sound volume with keyboard shortcuts on 68k Macs

    Yes TetrisMax is great :D (Unfortunately slightly buggy, if paused at any point I find it sometimes causing the system to freeze) I just tested and yes it's just as you said; going to min. volume with Volumator the game still plays music and once quit the system volume slider is at minimum...

    Adjusting sound volume with keyboard shortcuts on 68k Macs

    No graphic artefacts anymore, works great! :) I was playing TetrisMax and tried adjusting volume while playing. The top-bar blinked everytime I changed volume (I thought it did that only at minimum level) and while the bar-graph showed zero volume, the game music still kept playing (very...

    Adjusting sound volume with keyboard shortcuts on 68k Macs

    I am actually running in 16 colors (faster on my IIcx). I just tested that in 256 color mode it works correctly, the white area/color mess happens in all other modes (b&w, 4, 16 colors).

    Adjusting sound volume with keyboard shortcuts on 68k Macs

    Just tested this on my IIcx (System 7.1) and it works! (y) However... the popup leaves a white box on the screen (against desktop) or messes up the colors (if something beneath) until the area is redrawn. Also while still holding down cmd+shift and then pressing -/= wasn't always repeating (or...

    Etherport II card

    Likely so, although I would presume ENET for Ethernet (transceiver) and CNET for coaxial (or 'cheapernet') so it looks to be correct. Old ethernet cards can have troubles if connected onto gigabit ethernet ports on modern switches. An older switch inbetween (or manually setting the port to...
