I bid PowerBook 540C recently after placing a watch on PB540C in eBay for 3 years. I knew this is a major upgrade from my 68K Mac collection since this is the last 68K CPU Mac. My PB didn't come with PCMCIA extension or AAUI Ethernet adapter. It runs on a rare 2.5 inch SCSI hard drive. I really...

I picked up a great condition 17'' 1.67Ghz Power Book G4 for $50 from my colleagues at work. The Apple stock hard drive is slow @5400RPM. I know that it is easier to replace hard drive in PB G4 than my another iBook G4. So again I want to replace it with SSD. Here is the dilemma I have when...

I'm reading Basilisk II emulation code. To understand the ROM patching in BII emulation, I disassembled Performa ROM with cxmon and radare2 (see wiki I wrote https://github.com/cebix/macemu/wiki/ROM-Analysis-in-Basilisk-II-Emulation#disassemble-original-68k-mac-rom).  Disassemble works but it...

My Powerbook 1400c runs smoothly in 7.6, 8.0 and 8.1. It becomes sluggish in 8.5 and 8.6. It is cumbersome for me to exchange files for Intel Mac to OS below 8.1. I have to copy stuffs to 8.6 and boot it from 8.6 from CF card and then copy it to 7.6. Recently I bought a Orinoco gold wireless...

I just owned a used iBook G4 for my PPC emulation project. But after some compiling, I can feel that the left palm is hot! I haven't opened the case. But it seems that hard drive is the culprit: https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/iBook+G4+12-Inch+1.33+GHz+Hard+Drive+Replacement/703 The previous...

I bought a iBook G4 from ebay for my emulation development.  It comes with apple hardware test DVD.  I followed the instruction to restart and hold C key. But I boot into open firmware, the top show: Invalid memory access at %SRR0: 00032df8 %SRR1: 00003030 ... The screen ask me either type...

I found this interesting link when I bought ordoid-xu4 for my another project: http://forum.odroid.com/viewtopic.php?f=116&t=12191&p=85974 The acrylic case looks very cool. But I don't like aluminum reinforcement bars. There is more detail on page 38...

I'm not an expert on Linux device programming. But I really want to fix Basilik II networking for Fedora 20 with 3.15.x kernel.  So far I think I have fixed sheep_net module (partially). The module can be compiled in modern kernel. I can ping to outside URL and ftp to the server in local...

This problem bothered me a lot. I want to transfer a collections of files from my modern Mac to compact Mac.  It is painful to transfer it through floppy disk. So I use ethernet on my compact Mac and transfer a compressed file through ftp. But Mac SE can't decompress the file in stuffit...

I got Asante EN/SC recently for my SE. It works like a champ. It has two SCSI DB25 port for daisy chain. I got a Powerbook 1400C without networking. It has HDI-30 external SCSI port. I wonder if I bought an DB25 to HDI30 adapter. Would it be possible to enable networking in Powerbook. My...
