    Macintosh Plus compatible games that can be played with only a mouse

    Hi. I did a weird thing and have Mini vMac running on the ESP32 microcontroller: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i7QIIHTyWcA BUT! It only supports the mouse so far while I figure out a keyboard input scheme. In the meantime, what can be played entirely with only a mouse? I tried copying...

    Potential: Promise Ultra 133 to Sonnet Tempo

    Hi. I found a Promise Ultra 133 TX2 in one of my junk bins and it looks remarkably similar to the Sonnet Tempo 133... In fact if we look at the option rom headers... Promise PC ROM: Sonnet Mac ROM The Sonnet firmware updater does not recognize the PC flashed card which I would expect...

    Quicksilver shuts itself off only under OSX

    Hi! I just got this Quicksilver G4 with 1GB ram and 1.4GHz CPU upgrade and it seems to work in OS9 but under OSX it will just power off after a few minutes. First time it happened when it restarted one of the 3 hard drives died. I removed it and installed a clean OS9 and it seems to boot up...

    bin/cue Mounting under OS9

    Is there any software that will emulate a physical CD drive that accepts bin/cue files and runs under MacOS 9? I want to start backing up some of my discs but I don't want to lose CD audio on those that have it. Neither Toast nor the Virtual CD emulator seem to be able to do this and I...

    Mounting OS9 Shares on OSX Sierra

    This has been driving me nuts for the past two days and I've been trying lots of fixes and stuff I've found scattered around the internet but with no luck. I cannot mount a share on my iBook no matter what and despite thinking afpfs-ng would be a fix it compiles but does not run properly under...

    iBook: Randomly erattic trackpad

    My key lime iBook G3's trackpad randomly gets weird around the trackpad, acting like there's two fingers on it. So I'll try to scroll down and it'll act like it's being scrolled up. It usually goes away on it's own, after a restart, or if I wiggle my fingers on it enough. It is kinda annoying...

    I found a thing lol

    http://imgur.com/a/o9gpg Looks to be a neat keyboard with apparently both an ADB interface and one for the earlier Macs that used that phone jack kind of connector. For $5 it's in pretty good shape but I don't have any ADB macs to test it with at the moment. Still pretty neat though :) No...

    Original Airport WPA compatible APs?

    Is there a list of known working chipsets or somesuch? I've had no luck getting the Airport card in my clamshell to connect to a home router and a TP-Link travel router, both say the password is incorrect. That being said it appears the Airport firmware is up to date as well as my OSX 10.4.11...

    Usability of 10.3.9 in 2017

    Hiya! I've tried a few operating systems on my clamshell iBook SE and so far OS9 and Panther are the only ones that run well or have a somewhat decent amount of available software. Panther runs fairly well with 576MB aside from the graphics being laggy which I kind of expect. Tiger issues...

    iBook weirdness

    My clamshell iBook SE is acting a bit odd. I installed 10.3 on it and upgraded to 10.3.9 which has been running fine but so far today it has frozen while unstuffing a bin archive and later finder crashed with EXC_BAD_ACCESS (0x0001) and KERN_PROTECTION_FAILURE. I'm guessing this crash and...

    iPod connected via firewire hangs iBook

    I have an iPod 3rd gen with clickwheel that hangs Finder when it's plugged in. If I start with extensions off Mac OS will see the disk as uninitialized but freeze on "Creating directory..." I don't have any other firewire devices I can test it with so I'm not sure exactly what is wrong here...

    Is the clamshell XGA mod still possible in 2017?

    It looks like all the sources of the required LG display cable have long since dried up. One guide suggested soldering to the pins on the replacement panel but doesn't mention how you're supposed to go about doing it without baking the panel, iBook, or both. I don't need to do this now, but I...
