Hi all. Looking for a place (or former place that is searchable) with discussions on HyperCard stacks and development. I'm particularly looking for a way to read a GIF that is bytes in a text file to display, but need to do a lot of lurk-learning as well. I did find...

Hey all. I would like to give a couple of eMates "something to do" instead of taking up space in a storage bin. Can anyone recommend a pkg of a floating clock/calendar screen saver, so the devices could show time and date in the rooom? The closest thing I could find was an UNNA search to...

Hi all. Has anyone had success writing text files to a running instance of Mini vMac disk image from the host OS (Windows, etc)? Kind of like https://www.gryphel.com/c/minivmac/extras/importfl/index.html but not "pulling" from the guest OS, but instead pushing in a way that the guest OS...

Hi all. Looking for something that can make Mac Plus (and also PB 180 bw) restart every few hours. System 6.0.8 and 7 using a scheduler agenda timetable. I put in all of the title terms in a search here, didn't find anything, so asking here directly. 🙂 Thanks.

Hi all. Can anyone share info about taking the audio input from a Farallon MacRecorder and making a visualization "stream" without saving data? Just looking for another job for a Macintosh Plus, just a visualizer on an open mic, as audio plays letting bars jump. Thanks for all ideas!

Kind of related to https://68kmla.org/bb/index.php?threads/audio-player-for-early-macs.21332/#post-231885 and https://68kmla.org/bb/index.php?threads/mod-and-midi-play-in-2023.45061/ , I'm now looking for a list (or set of attributes so I can build my own list) of 68k Sys 6 releases that use...

Hi all. Looking for solutions to write to an HFS (not HFS+) volume, only have Windows 10/11 machines available. My idea was to take an SD card, format it on Windoze, copy over .sit/.cpt/etc files using Windows Explorer, putting the SD card in a SD-PCMCIA device, and put the PCMCIA card in...

Hey all. PowerBook 3400c with new OS 7.6.1 install, looking for the right network/software setup so the PB can scheduled download XML files over HTTPS (eg https://w1.weather.gov/xml/current_obs/KVAY.xml) using built-in ethernet and place them on a classic AppleTalk share so a Mac Plus (6.0.8)...

Hi all. Looking for anyone/anycorp that would take my 3400c and re-cap and replace the battery and as a bonus put in a ZuluSCSI Laptop RP2040 2.5" that I would send off with the item so I can have a fresh install of 7.6 on it. After viewing I know I don't have the skills or materials to make...

Looking for a way to play MOD and MIDI music on Mac Plus with 4mb. I found Sound Trecker, but it requires a 68020, which is weird because my Apple IIGS will play both. All pointers/formulas appreciated. I did see this...

Hey all. I have a Fanny Mac that is noisy (like the fan is not working well) and the switch-light flickers (like the LED is not working well). Can anyone with real hardware knowledge point me in the right direction for a replacement part or service? I opened it up and it's not a standard x-mm...

I installed Microsoft FoxPro 2.5b on a 4mb Mac Plus running System 7.0.1. However, it will not launch. Suggested memory size is 5,000. I set it to 2400. After double clicking the app, the Finder appears to do "something" but FoxPro does not launch. About This Macintosh says Memory 4096k, System...

Hey all. I purchased a Mac Plus keyboard, and it happened to come with a mouse and 4mb Mac Plus. :) Completely unexpected was a "MacFan" in the top of the unit. It appears that the whole thing was sitting in an attic box for a l-o-n-g time because it took a lot of strength to slide it off, and...

Hi all. Looking for info on external speakers that were made to connect to the Mac Plus/512 series. I was thinking I could find some historical info on aftermarket items that match the color and form factor, but googling for "mac plus speakers" doesn't exactly give the results I need. :) I'm...

What is the official color code (is that a Pantone number?) of the Mac 128/512k/Plus? Looking to 3D print a case/holder that will sit next to the Mac, and want the colors to match. I have seen it called "beige" and "putty" but wondering about the specific code for realistic match. Or is there...

Being quiet and cool is a must. At the risk of sacrilege, does anyone think there would be appreciable benefit to cutting a 2 inch hole in the back of the case near the "dead air midpoint" and putting a grill over the hole (to keep cat paws out)? Looking at a video from I think it could be done...

Hey all. Looking for any place that sells (putty/beige) Mac Plus keyboards or mice or 4mb upgrades, I acquired one without any input. Would rather not do eBay. Actually if the keyboard is from a 512/128 that would be better since there is no number pad and would be more compact on the desk. I do...
