Found this in a basement storage.. Parallel printer port, drivers for dos & win95. Found fairly inexpensive cables online, parallel ->usb that works with MacOs 9.x -> osx 10.5. The BJC-80 & 85 should work with MacOS classic.  Whats your experience of connecting vintage...

I got my hands on a Sony miniDV tape viewer/tranfer station recently with a FW output. I guess the PB Pism FireWire implementation is one of the earlier ones. It seems FW400 came in different flavours with transfer speeds ranging from 98 to 393 Mbit/s. The main bottleneck is probably the HDD...

As an upcoming project I have been planning for an updated, 3d printed version of the Appledesign Powered speakers 2. I have the enclosure specs, but it would be nice with a pdf with the drawings and measurements, if there ever was such a thing. Can only find the pdf for the taller, first version? 

What is it? Has anyone tried it?

So, I need some kind of mini-din serial to USB cable/adapter. I've seen something similar used for plc programming, but I suspect that the pinout might be different. Did Apple ever made such an adapter or were there only 3rd party ones? Edit: Hmm. When I think about it, does the Stylewriter...

Yes, I've seen the guides and it seems to be a long and tiresome process. One of my G4s are having overheating problems, and after resetting the pmu with no succes, I consider opening it to have a look. Any experience?

Hi, I have a PB G4 1.67 that Im going to refurbish (new Charger + HD) and install Osx tiger + Mac OS 9. I plan to use it partly to transfer files via a usb floppy drive (wich I dont have but need to purchase) to some older 68k machines. Any pitfalls or problems I need to be aware of?

Well, I dont know if this has been posted here before, the search didnt return anything. Anyway, the topic of configuring a fpga to run 68k mac code has been discussed a couple of times. I didnt know this, but there is a accelerator card solution for the amiga 500 & 600 that uses a...

Kind of like this youtube channel.. he has videos on a little bit of everything that is vintage computer related. https://youtu.be/wXWlJFrX19s

So, this goes as follows: Name a mac game or application that you used and would like to see an updated version of. A short description of what the software does is helpful, especially if its something unusual or obscure. 1.The Grouch init. Kermit pops up from the trash bin and sings a short...

.. in the same dark, grey stylish color as the Powerbooks used to have.. Were such a device ever released by Apple or someone else?

Well, has anyone tried these industrial flash disks? I noticed both 40pin and 44pin versions. Are they compatible with macs with IDE interface? Edit: A url http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disk_on_module

I just couldn't resist! Found two Mac Plus, one old yellow and one platinum, with keyboards, mice, hds, extra floppydrives and a imagewriter for almost free! To one of the Pluses there is a very old wireless mouse connected. It says "BMC Micro Industries, 1988" on the back of the infrared...

Maybee been posted sometime in the past... But its fun anyway.. Enjoy!

Hi, I have a PowerMac G3 DT wich has a G4 upgrade running at 333Mhz installed. By changing jumper setting, I can get the cpu speed up to around 600Mhz. Cpu utility software logs 22C or 71F temp at 333Mhz, wich I doubt is correct, with the stock G3 heatsink without fans. Is the PPC 7400 (1st...

Hi, Has anyone compared the audio quality between the TAM Bose system and the transparent HK Soundsticks + sub? Wich of the two do you prefer? /John

No, its not my auction. But I have stockpiled popcorn and dr Pepper to follow what could turn into "vintage-mac bidding-war-of-the-year". Who needs TV...

It seems that Lightsofts webpage has went to the cyber graveyard. Any ideas how to find a download? :?:

Hi,a ll.. I read somewhere a long time ago, that the 68LC040 sits in a socket on the logic board, and might be possible to swap to a full 68RC040 with fpu and all. Has anyone tried this, or is that claim just rubbish anyway?' /John
