    Term for Mac Plus and Earlier Keyboard Connector?

    I'm a bit late to the party, but I've had luck searching "Mac 128k keyboard" - long winded, but gets me there. "Mac 4p4c" however, got me back to this post lol. tinkerBOY calls his adapter "Mac 128k/512k/Plus" for PS2/USB keyboard -> Mac, but M0110 for M0110 to USB. And, I had great luck...

    Mac-O-Batt. Clock batter for Macs using a 3.6v 1/2AA battery. The pinout is correct for the 68040 Performa 640CD (and presumably many others) Yes, 4.5v is the normal rated voltage for these macs, but 3.6 is still well within spec.

    Trying to get just a little more power out of my Mystic Color Classic for Leisure Suit Larry 7

    I watched a vid some time back about RAM speeds, though it was centered more around DDR, not older stuff. The guy was saying that any memory can be utilized as a slower speed, but sometimes the modules aren't as quality as they say. So, basically, in this case using faster modules ensure...

    Reversing Retrobright Bleaching on a Macintosh 512k Mouse

    from what I can actually see (I'm unable to load the images to be larger, and the third is blank?) (annnnnd as I finished typing that, it loaded) It looks like you did not mess up. Of course, the comparison to the inside, wouldn't matter, since it too was RB'd... would had been useful info...

    Reversing Retrobright Bleaching on a Macintosh 512k Mouse

    I've not heard of 3% peroxide bleaching much of anything other than my sister's hair back in the 80s. (and of course my friends' hair in the early 2000s) The true color should be visible on the inside portions of the mouse cover. Maybe it's not quite as white as you think, only compared to...

    LC630 DOS Compatible supports 64MB SIMMs - 84MB total!

    Like I said, not exactly a waste - I've got other retro projects to work on, and will have use for more RAM. Anyways, it came in today. I got it installed... annnnd 16MBs seen by the DOS card. I'm not sure if it's seeing the chips at 512K each, or what. I was hoping the different arrangement...

    Trying to get just a little more power out of my Mystic Color Classic for Leisure Suit Larry 7

    my thoughts, which, just random neurons firing in my thought bucket... An FPU won't help with the game, but maybe it'd relieve some of the background processes? Probably not, IDK. I replaced my LC040 with a full 040, with a speed bump(33 to 40mhz), but haven't modded the board yet, and...

    got tired of looking for a pre-made battery solution for my 640CD... so, I spent way too much money, and got my wife involved in making 3D printed holders... >_> I might have gone a bit overboard LOL

    I'm going to say that HTTPS isn't going to be possible (though could technically happen) due to the length of time even an '040/40 would take to deal with the encryption. Either you'll grow old and Ryzen 5950s will be "retro" - or more than likely, the connection will timeout. THAT SAID... a...

    MonsterROMinator... a ROMinator for Levco Monster Macs

    I just watched Action Retro's "Turbo Mac" episode... I dislike cliffhangers. Especially on 2 cliffs! Though, he did say if it didn't work, we'd pretend nothing ever happened... :cool:

    LC630 DOS Compatible supports 64MB SIMMs - 84MB total!

    Everything I've read suggests 32MB is the absolute most the DOS card can handle. I don't know if that's actually true or not. Everything I read about my P640CD is 52MB max limit (4+32+16) and yet I've got it up to 196MBs! I have found 64MB modules that are single sided and with the chips...

    LC630 DOS Compatible supports 64MB SIMMs - 84MB total!

    So, I bought "64MB FPM MEMORY NON-PARITY 60NS SIMM 72-PIN 5V 16X32 SOJ OR TSOP" from ebay - works' well for the Mac. I tested it in the DOS card, and Windows only seen 16MBs - 1/4 of the total. I barely knew much about RAM back when these things were current, but could FPM w/ Parity...

    Remote power-on over ADB

    I'm waiting for parts to build batteries for the Mac, so, am shopping for parts to build this contraption. I wish I could find the connectors Logitech used for the Mouseman 3 button mouse. The cord comes off the side of the connector, giving the back end a female ADB connector. Something I...

    Remote power-on over ADB

    I got to thinking that might be the case, but seems there would be a pin on ADB dedicated to that then, which seemed like a waste... but I guess the kb power button was that important to the engineers (or at least management) That seriously simplifies this a LOT. I was going to start working...

    Remote power-on over ADB

    I found a Google smart home / IP fan controller I bought for my loft fan a while back, never got around to taking the fan down to install it... i digress... I've been working on my Performa 630CD the last few weeks (just got it a month or so ago) - anyway... 1+1 and all, and I've come up with a...
