This is *exactly what I have been looking for. I cannot wait for this product to be done.

Well I tried it on 9.2.2 and it crashed Finder so hard it locked my Pismo up lol.

Yeah as I've researched more, I realized that this wouldn't be possible. Especially since LocalTalk has a lot higher of a bandwidth than serial. Oh well, thought maybe I had cracked the code. I absolutely do find that handy and will probably pour more time than necessary pouring through this...

I'm sorry. I meant Apple serial/Geoport. I routinely connect my PowerBook 160 to my PDQ over GeoPort and use AppleTalk. This is definitely a way. I just don't have a real easy way to connect them throughout the house. I don't have ethernet or phone jacks anywhere in my house resulting in me...

I have various Macs littered all over the house ranging from 68k all the way to M1. None of my pre-Intel machines are networked. I have my PDQ Powerbook G3 which works as a great way to transfer applications larger than a floppy over to my 68k machines via ADB. However, I just received a Pismo...

Thank you. I definitely noticed that I need to scrub down the board in that area some more after it started drying. I scrubbed it about 10 minutes in the sink but it seems like it still has some more gunk on it. I rarely lift traces twisting them. Seems like I lift them way more when I try and...

340c and I used flux. I tinned my iron with leaded solder. I only desoldered four like that, those are the two that lifted. The rest I used the twist method and had a better time with.

Welp, this sucks. Two capacitors had their traces lift completely up while desoldering (C5 and C18). Looks like I'll be able to bodge a bit and get it working, but this was definitely not ideal. Any advice appreciated.

Oh cool I had no idea that you could do this modification. I thought you’d have to replace the cpu. I will definitely be doing this mod once it’s up and running

I had a great package waiting for me on my porch today. Found an LC III on Mercari for $40 + $30 shipping a week ago and decided to take the plunge. No hard drive, the caps have just started leaking a touch but doesn't look like they've done any serious damage yet. I have a full kit of...

I received mine yesterday! It was very kind of you to include some bare PCBs of the v3's. I'll definitely have to get some CR2032 contacts and solder them up.

Alright I decided to replace the stock 1gb drive in my PowerBook 1400c with an SD card and can confirm it works great on Mac OS 8.5/8.6. So as far as I can tell, it should work in every IDE PowerBook. The 1400's IDE/ATA interface is pretty primitive so I can only assume it'll work in all of...

I was going to take the plunge on this one, but I guess you had bought it before I had the chance. Sorry it didn't work out for you. I hate those Maxwells so much.

I've seen this elusive peripheral referenced for years. There's a few pictures of the device and a video capture of it actually working online but I knew it was rare. I saw one pop up on Mercari for ~$40 and knew I needed to grab it. Box: Contents: Unfortunately, mine is missing the...

Oh man am I jealous of that NEC 1850E. That is basically what I am looking for and settled on my vx1950. I did forget to mention the sync-on-green thing as well. You can usually find it inside the manuals.

https://68kmla.org/bb/index.php?threads/mac-video-adapter.528/ Looks like it's to drive an LCD panel to put on an overhead projector.

So I'm not the biggest fan of CRTs either and usually look for 4:3 LCDs. What's wild is you'll see people ask like $200 for the beige ones, but you can also find them literally on the side of the road. Unfortunately, I can't give you an exact run down of what models to look for. This is...

Oh definitely. I want one with an active matrix display... but I got my 520c for free with a 7600/132, a Beige G3, iMac G3, and Performa 6116CD. So no complaints on the price there. I ordered new polarizer film off eBay from China so here's to hoping I can fix the 520's screen.

Wanna know something crazy? I just saw this get posted on eBay. Looks like you will actually be able to have your dreams come true! https://www.ebay.com/itm/255165242022?hash=item3b69089aa6:g:WQgAAOSw0VJhXM~H

From what I've experienced, the Macs are just as bad as their contemporaries. My Toshiba Satellite from around the 520c's time period is falling apart as well. The whole early to mid 90's are a rough time for collecting between terrible caps and brittle plastics.
