    Driver for Unity Digital FireWire CompactFlash Reader

    I have a feeling that I have posted this request before and apologies if I have. Does anyone here have the driver for the Unity Digital FireWire CompactFlash Reader for Mac OS 9 or below? I've found the download page on archive.org but it redirects to a 302 page. I would appreciate it greatly...

    MADI

    There is a Mac Pro going cheaply near me and it has two cards (which I assume are sound processing cards of some kind). And while I don't need another Mac Pro, it might be worth getting for the cards alone. What cards are these and what do they do? Thanks.

    Bretford Mobility Cart 20 for MacBook & iPad

    PM G4 motherboards

    I feel as if I have asked this question before and apologies if I have. I'm setting up a Black & White G4 (that is, a PM G4 with the white case plastics from a Blue & White G3) as a gaming machine for turn-of-the-millennium games (and a bit beyond that too). I have 3 G4s * that I can use: 1x...

    4x ethernet port card for G4 ???

    This G4 looks to have a 4-port ethernet card in it. I know that Cisco made similar cards but for the Mac? Does anyone know about these cards and are they supported in Mac OS 9?

    The Manhole

    I picked this up on a local auction site recently. It is a CD from 1989. Isn't it beautifully laid out?

    Thunderbolt on Mac OS 9

    This is in the category: I don't think it is possible but maybe someone has found a way to make it work and can prove me wrong. I have no hands-on experience at all of Thunderbolt but I have seen Thunderbolt to FW800 adapters on sale. My limited knowledge of Thunderbolt is that it is...

    Cross thread: iBook stuff

    This is a cross thread to the rest of a collection that I got a collector in Geneva. The software is in French or German or English and there is a lot of iBook software & packaging. The link is here: https://68kmla.org/bb/index.php?threads/good-homes-wanted.45171/ If there is anything that you...

    Things that tempt me

    This thing is bad news. I don't need it. It will consume probably far too much electricity. It will be loud. It will far too big for my wants (my needs have ĺong been met). But I wants it, my Precious. It has SATA to SCSI. I could put in 16x SSDs and have a wonderful RAID-10 system for my B&W...

    MDD CPU in a Quicksilver: why won't it work?

    What's the reason that a CPU from an MDD won't work in a Quicksilver or other G4? • Bus speed: 133MHz vs 167MHz? • Difference/incompatibility in the ROM? • Physical size: MDD card & heatsink won't fit? • Power draw: the power draw of dual 7455s is too much for the QS PSU? Or are there...

    PowerMac G4 – Reset to factory defaults

    First off, I'm not sure whether this question violates any forum rules on the grounds of legality. If so, please kill the thread. I have just bought a Quicksilver 2001 and the OF is password-protected. I have contacted the previous seller and she has given what she thinks the passwords may be...

    GeeThree Sweet MultiPort

    I have just discovered something that I would love to have: front-facing ports on my (now) Blue & Silver G3. They should be easy enough to make with a 3D-printer. The site on archive.org is here: https://web.archive.org/web/20230000000000*/geethree.com

    Translucent Blue

    What are the most useful translucent blue accessories to get to go with my soon to be Blue & Silver G3? I already have a FireWire Fujitsu Dynamo MO-drive, a Macally iKey keyboard and the VGA-version of the Apple Studio Display (rev. B, I think). The DA-15 version would be nice but I have never...

    QS motherboard in a DA case

    Is it safe & possible to put a Quicksilver motherboard into a DA case? Is the DA power supply enough or would the original PSU from the Quicksilver be required. I expect that there are power differences and that the QS PSU is necessary. Is there anything that I haven't considered in doing such a...

    400K floppies, 800KB & 1.4MB floppy drives

    I have confused memories about what floppy drives can format what floppies and a quick search has confused me more. I have a newly recapped 512K which has a newly greased 400K* floppy drive (thanks @Breathing). I am setting up an SE now and I would like to be able to format & write floppies on...

    Anti-Static Bags

    I'm not sure if this the right forum but it seems as good as any to ask this question. Electrically sensitive devices should be kept inside anti-static bags. I was informed recently that electrically sensitive devices should not be placed on the outside of bags on the grounds that the outside...
