Wow, thanks guys for all that info! That will definitely get me started! And I'll report back along my way. I print about a dozen pages per year nowadays, most of the through AirPrint to the Brother multifunction my wife uses in her home office. But it would be so cool to print to the...
Hi there,
I have a LaserWriter IINTX that I'd love to resurrect. It's been in storage for 13 years. I know it didn't work when I first got my hands on it, but I don't remember what the symptoms were. Today it powers on and makes some noise. The green Power led flashes slowly for a while as it's...
Hi there,
I came here with exactly the same questions, albeit for a QuickTake 100. I was hoping to find maybe a really old thread with some useful advice, and I certainly didn't think I would find such a new thread! I scored a great looking QuickTake 100 on a local auction site, without any...
Thanks a lot for your quick answer! And thanks for the fix! Sadly my issues don't involve sleep or the drive spinning down, but just plain file transfers. I don't know if it's a PB 5xx or just my SCSI2SD and/or microSD card, but I couldn't complete file transfers without random crashes. I tried...
Hi there,
I'm attempting to save a PowerBook 520c from the dead. It was in good shape, apart from a dead hard drive. I replaced the drive with a brand new SCSI2SD « PowerBook Edition » with a brand new 16GB microSD card set as a 4GB SCSI drive at ID0. I booted the PowerBook from my trusted...
Of course! But for this project I found a "new old stock" 5GB hard drive for a few bucks on eBay, I thought it would be cool to "hear" the iPod. The drive was recognised by macOS Catalina and all is fine on that front. My issue is with the scroll wheel not scrolling.
Thanks for your answer! Getting into the iPod wasn’t the problem, though. It was completely taken apart and I cleaned all visible parts. I hoped that cleaning the scroll wheel would be sufficient, but obviously not… I would have swapped the scroll wheel from the otherwise dead second iPod 1G I...
Hi there,
An iPod 1G doesn't really qualify as a 68k device, right? Anyway, I don't know where to seek help apart from here… My iPod 1G died several years ago. I bought it second hand around 2002 and used it for a couple of years, and then gave it to a friend who took it on a three years...
Thanks for the quick answer!
The original fan dimensions are 60x60x15mm. The one I linked to is 50x50x10, and I just understood the external dimensions of the fan are given, and not the distance between the mounting holes. So I just bought a 3-pin 60x60x25 fan. The thickness shouldn’t be a...
Hi there,
I need to replace the fan in my LC III with something silent. It has a 3 pin connector to the mobo. Will any 50mm 3-pin modern fan work?
Im looking at this one for example: https://www.steg-electronics.ch/fr/article/Fractal-Design-Silent-Series-R3-50mm-19940452.aspx
Thanks in advance!
Hi there,
It's been such a long time since my last visit around here... It's a pleasure to be back! I haven't spent time with my collection in years, but it's changing. I'll have to hang around here more often soon!
I need a fresh system for an iBook FireWire. I just burned a couple of Mac OS...
Well.. this one is dear to the heart of a lot of long time Mac enthusiasts, and contains a lot of stuff you won't find elsewhere, especially very early Mac software.
Hi guys!
It's christmas... The long gone multimac.ch archive is back online, at .
The guy's a fellow swiss collector, who's managed to collect a huge amount of stuff from 1983-1998. His archive was well known in the early 2000's, and is still referenced to on sites such as Gamba's. For one...
I forgot to mention that I took her apart, disconnected the inverter board and interconnect board, and reseatted everything.
Thanks bibilit! Are those caps easy to change? I'm no soldering master… I've recapped my LC III and plan to do it on my compacts when I find some time, but I fear it's...
