    Throwing 64K ROMs into a Mac Plus ?

    Hi, I'm actually fiddeling with a spare Mac Plus logicboard I have. Sadly I don't have the original ROMs for this board. I also own a rominator board so I decided to use it. After burning the appropriate rom files (Hi & Lo) it works well. I then thought of an improvement : I always wanted to...

    Help : making a startup extension for 68k macs

    Hi, since battery leakage is a real problem in old macs I thought about an extension which could restore the PRAM (and xPRAM for macs that have it) at startup.

    How to resurrect a Macintosh Portable?

    Hi, I recently acquired my third (and of course non working) M5120 on ebay, the battery is dead as expected but apart from that the whole thing seems in excellent condition, even no (or at least very very little) caps leaking on the board! After some attempts to boot it without success, the...

    LCs are driving me nuts...

    Five or six years ago I made preventive recapping on both my LC & LCII before leaking appears... They were still working fine since (Pram battery never did any damage since I always remove them when I get a mac). Two years ago I wanted to try something with my LC... disk span, fan too but no...
