I am going to attempt to get Timbuktu working between my office and man cave. They are currently both on the GlobalTalk network. Has anyone had any experience with this?

I am looking for drivers for Mac OS X 10.4.11 for my Pismo. I have both Orinoco Silver and Gold cards as well as a Lucent WaveLan card and want to get wifi working. I already have an original Graphite Basestation working. I have done a few searches and all I can find is the IOExpert drivers...

The PSU in my Cayman Gator box has just failed. I was using it for LocalTalk to Ethernet routing as well as MacIP serving. I had two zones set up, one called LocalTalk and one called Ethernet. Imaginative hey. I have replaced it with a Farallon iPrint which does work (sort of) but it doesn’t...

I found 8x 4MB simms pulled from a very dead IIFX. Will they work in any other Mac?

I have a bunch of files on my MacMini running 10.2.7. I want to zip them but can't find a compression utility on the machine such as the newer versions of Mac OS X have. I need a compression utility for 10.2.7 but can't seem to find one anywhere. Suggestions?

I have seen various people using the term "pizza box" for many different types of shorter Mac cases. From back in the day it was my understanding that "pizza box" referred to the original LC case all the way up to the LC475 but also included the Quadra 605. I believe the MacWorld article...

So I managed to acquire a ANS 500 with 96MB RAM but no hard rive. It started up first time into Open-Firmware. I am now learning a lot about this weird piece of Apple history. I believe it is the only Apple computer sold without an Apple operating system. It has a very weird physical locking...

I have three of these accelerators of various speeds and caches. From what I understand certain revisions of this accelerator will work in a PM7220. I plan on testing them in my 7220 but wanted to do a bit of research before I start so I have a bit of an idea what to expect. I also wanted to...

I am trying to get a PowerBook 2400c and a Newton onto my home wifi network. I figured I would setup this old graphite base station and connected it to my home wired network. I know how to factory reset it but not sure of what software is needed to manage it. I am assuming and old version of the...

HAs anyone found a way to fix the hinge cracking problem. My beloved 1400c/G3 has a small crack in the case lid near the hinge. I have a 1400cs which has completely crack through. I want to hopefully stop the 1400c doing the same thing.

I have used the holiday downtime to setup a few macs with either Mac OS 7.5.5 (68K) or Mac OS 8.1 (PPC). I removed all the PRAM battery years ago and don’t really want to reinstall them. I remember back in the day there was a clock utility that would restore the time and date via a time server...

Is it possible to get AFP working on Basilisk II currently running on my M2 MacBook Air. I am hoping to connect it to my Netatalk 2.x server running on my PiSCSI preferably via DDP but over IP would also work. I realise I will probably need the MBAir connected to the network physically (not...

Do any Macs support the Apple full page display (not the 21" display) from their built in video? I vaguely remember the IIsi supporting it back in the day.

I have a few 4400/7220s as well as a StarMax 3000. I want to be able to use one of them to burn CDs. I have an ATAPI CD-RW drive in a currently dead G4 Gigabit. My other option is a 6500 I have but that is a bit more fiddly to swap out the optical drive. Can any of these be used to burn CDs?

I have a G4 Gigabit Ethernet and accidentally put 5v RAM into two of the slots. It booted however the power light went off after about 3 seconds and then I could smell smoke coming out of the PSU. I unplugged it, removed the RAM and rebooted. Same thing, Power light goes out after 3 seconds and...

What do I have here? This looks like it might be an 040 to PPC upgrade card yet it doesn’t have any identifying marks on it. If that is what it is what models was it intended for, LC474, Quadra 650?

I have been trying to get the DOS side of my LC630 going. I have the PC Set control panel set and it sees the DOS card. When I restart the card I get the startup beep. However when I switch to the DOS side there is no video. I have tried fixed resolution monitors and multi scan monitors but I...

I have a really weird boot issue with my PM7220. It hasn’t been powered up in 3 years but before it was unplugged last time it was fully functional with a recapped motherboard, rebuilt PSU and fully serviced floppy drive. It won’t boot off the hard drive but that could be expected. It won’t boot...
