I'm about to go on a repair spree of various stuff among which are three SE analog boards and an SE/30 logic board. I was hoping there might be a nice parts list or shopping cart somewhere that could save me time hunting some of the stuff I need to order. While I'm at it, are there any AB...

I love my design language appropriate PowerBook peripherals but one thing I haven't seen is a PowerBook grey external CD ROM drive. Where there ever any made? Would love pictures if you have one.

I have my own set of tools I've collected over the years but I thought it would be interesting to ask the community what things they think are essential or really useful/cool. Go ahead and include no-brainer stuff like the latest version of DiskCopy and Stuffit too. I'd like to see an all...

So I finally decided to play around with MacFlim today and man is it AWESOME! I wanted to try converting my own videos so I thought I would try compiling flimmaker on my PiSCSI so I could just create the flim files right where I was going to use them. Everything seemed to go smoothly but once...

I'm trying to get MacX 1.2 up and running but the install process is not straightforward. There isn't really an installer. I've gotten pretty far but I just don't think I'm going to be able to get it working without documentation. I found a later version's manual but it is unfortunately...

Playing with a PiSCSI on my Mac Plus trying to get networking set up and... I tried copying the DaynaPORT installer into a directory but they will only install from their disk image or a physical floppy. I'd write it to a real floppy but its 1.44M and the Plus obviously can't read that. I...

I've been playing with my Mac Plus recently and grabbed the pre-built MacPack_Silverlining image to run on my PiSCSI to speed the process up. I was surprised to find that they had included both system 6.0.5 along side my usual go to system 6.0.8. I was wondering why someone would want to run...

Does anyone definitively know what type of SCSI the Powerbook G3's use and how fast it is? I'm guessing narrow SCSI-2 at around 5MBps?

I haven't really used X11 forwarding much. Just once to play with some GUI apps on a supercomputer I had access to and wanted to see what was possible with it. I was lying in bed and the thought came to me that I remembered seeing X11 servers for classic Mac OS and I started wondering if there...

I did a little digging but couldn't find a definitive answer. All Raspberry Pi's have become ridiculously expensive unobtanium recently which has me looking for alternatives for various Mac related projects. MacIPgw, RaSCSI, etc. Of course the Orange Pi has been suggested as a good...

In case anyone missed my post in the trading post forum: FS: Powerbook 1x0 series hinge grommets I have a few grommets left if anyone needs them. I know they get lost pretty often. I might use some to make the 3D printed PowerBook 100 series hinge fix and sell them that way. Not sure for how...

I feel like I've read somewhere that this was the case but I can't find the source. I know the various G3/G4 upgrade cards are listed as being compatible with all PCI powermac models. I also know the dual processor machines/CPUs are definitely an exception to this rule

I've noticed a lot of PowerBooks out in the wild have had their batteries removed (for good reason) leaving a rather unsightly hole in the side of the computer. So I designed this to fix that problem. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5249730

Are any of the passive matrix LCDs in these powerbooks interchangeable?

Is there any sort of ram compression available for Tiger like RamDoubler in classic or ZRAM on Linux?

I recently acquired both a BlueSCSI PowerBook version and a Pi ZERO version of the RaSCSI. I noticed the RaSCSI was even smaller than my PowerBook BlueSCSI board and I got to thinking - how cool would it be if I could put my RaSCSI INSIDE my PowerBook for internal WiFi? Just a thought for...

Has anyone tried running MacIPRpi on a first gen raspberry pi? Is it fast enough to be usable? I have a couple sitting around doing nothing.

So quite a while back I recapped a powerbook 160's screen and the results weren't so great. I've done many successful recap jobs (including powerbook screen recaps) in the past so I felt pretty good about the work. Just recently I decided to get it off the self and check my work under the...

Could anyone with a working USB PC card tell me what combination of extensions you have installed?  I had it (sort of) working on my old OS 9.2.2 install.  With the old install I could see my USB sticks but the system constantly said there was something wrong with the drive over and over.  The...

It took me forever to track down what was going on and I still don't understand why it is happening but... I am using one of those super cheap mSATA to IDE adapters and I had a hell of a time getting OS X to install on the new SSD.  It runs SOOO slow.  Install took about 8 hours and it took so...
