I have a Macintosh 512Ke and recently the disk drive (MP-F51W-03) failed. Unfortunately I'm unable to find any replacements online, but I am finding drives with model no. MP-F51W-23, which seem to be the part used in the 800K external drives. Can I expect this to work if I plug it into the...

I made a stupid mistake. For some reason I thought the 512k was supposed to be white instead of beige so I ended up soaking my mouse in 3% peroxide over the course of a few days, trying to get rid of what I thought were uneven results. Turns out I just bleached the hell out of it! Does anyone...

I've tried burning CDs with an OSX 10.5 VM, but none of them get recognized by the PowerBook. Networking with ethernet has also been a failure, no matter what I try I just can't get it connected to my router, nor to my M1 MacBook using a crossover cable. Both the CD and networking with AFP...
