    Angry Robots! - new game for 68k Macs

    Over the past two years, I've been tinkering away on a new game for my Macintosh Plus. I'd like to share a working demo of the game and welcome any feedback anyone has about the game. I'd also love to hear reports of how it works on real hardware. I've done my testing on my Mac Plus, my Mac...

    M0110 keyboard clone

    Is there any reason why new M0110 keyboards cannot be made? With the dwindling supply of original keyboards, it seems like this may be needed. I don't have one of these keyboards (thus my curiosity), but from photos I see online, it seems like it should be fairly simple to create a PCB that...

    USB Superdrive (floppy drive)?

    So when the iMacs first came out, we had USB floppy drives for them, since the iMacs didn't have an internal floppy drive. I swear I remember these being official Apple SuperDrives capable of reading 800k floppies. But I can find no trace online that Apple ever made a USB floppy drive, let alone...

    Help getting started with retro software development

    So lately I've been toying with the idea of developing a new game for my classic macs. I started making a retro-style puzzle game earlier this year in lock down, but then I thought, why not take it a step further and write it for retro hardware as well? The easiest way to describe my game idea...

    M0100 no up/down movement

    So I recently acquired an Apple M0100 mouse to go with my recently acquired Macintosh Plus. I can move the mouse from left to right, and I can click, but I cannot move the mouse up or down. I disassembled the mouse and gave it a good cleaning. I also checked the continuity for all of the pins...

    Power Mac 5400 non-apple IDE drive not recognizing

    So the original IDE drive in my Power Mac 5400 is failing, and so I'm trying to replace it with a new, non-Apple, IDE hard drive. I've tried a Maxtor 20GB IDE drive and a Seagate 250GB IDE drive. When I boot from the Mac OS 9.1 install CD, Disk Setup will not recognize either drive. I've read...

    Killed SE/30 video

    So I just took apart my SE/30 to upgrade the RAM, and upon reassembly of the machine, I have no video! The machine boots up normally, and I can even connect to it trough AppleShare from another machine. The CRT is not even getting power. I opened it up again, and all of the connections seem to...

    Nightingale's finds

    So up to this point, I've only acquired macs via eBay, and spent waaaaay too much money on them.  It's really hard to find old computers where I live. Thrift stores will not accept computers, and our provincial electronic recycling program is very strict about not letting you have anything that...

    RAM for Power Mac 5400

    So I'm trying to clear up some confusion. According to Low End Mac, EveryMac, and just about every other site I can find, this machine needs 70ns 168-pin DIMMs. However, every website that sells RAM, like crucial for example, tells me I need 60ns 168-pin EDO DIMMs. Will either of these speeds...

    SE drive bay cover - 3D model?

    So I have a Macintosh SE with an internal hard drive... but no drive cover on the second floppy slot.  I'm wondering if anyone knows of a 3D model that I can print for this?  I have been looking around the internet, but have not had any success.
