For whatever reason, I am using a XServe G5 as a desktop system. It's cool, loud, keeps my heating bill down --- whatever. My question is there has *got* to be someone who knows if there ever was a PCI card made for a mac that supported Quartz Extreme or Core Image (or whatever OpenGL...

I need the ability to plug in one keyboard and one mouse into a device, and on the other side, emulate two ADB devices (a mouse and a keyboard). I have breadboards and three Arduinos available so I'm going to try and see if I can get this to work. The way I see this working is one arduino...

I have a EtherPrint ethernet-to-localtalk bridge that seems to work well enough to netboot my IIGS from and connect to a netatalk share I have locally. I'm not sure what the traditional baud rate of the serial side is -- I assume 230K -- but I'm pretty sure I could emulate this functionality in...

So I was trolling my email box, when a email popped up saying free SE/30 and LC to a good home. Usually I miss these and hit my head against a wall, but I got really excited and replied as quick as I could and sure enough, I was the first to reply. $60 and a few weeks later a SE/30 arrived at my...

I can't for the life of me figure out how to boot from a CF card either in a PCMCIA adaptor or using a USB adaptor. I can hold down option and see the main volume but the CF card formatted HFS+ cant be seen. Its blessed but just wont boot. Any ideas?

So starting from where another fellow left off here: viewtopic.php?f=15&t=11366 viewtopic.php?f=3&t=9967&start=0 https://discussions.apple.com/message/1542636?messageID=1542636#1542636?messageID=1542636 http://ameblo.jp/jozenji/theme-10002170412.html So the plan is to see if I...

So I've been thinking about this for about a year now. Localtalk (serial) used RS-48 something, (I think RS-488 but ive been corrected before). Anyway, there's a spec called FDTI that supposedly communicates using the same protocol. These devices are available to convert RS-232 to localtalk. I...

In another find in the ToteOfGoodness, I find the lowly 1400c. After a very thoughtful gift from my fiance in the form of a PCMCIA-to-CF adaptor and BOTH a 4GB and 8GB card, I installed OS 8.6 onto this machine. I must say the keyboard is a absolute dream to work with! Currently the Sonnet...

My 3400c hinge broke just now while i was getting it to connect to my netatalk server. and parts are hard to come by these days for the 3400c. I used to find whole machines on ebay. :(

Found this just perusing the web. Awesome deal. It's still in the box. Never used, bought as a spare. Picking it up next week.

I'm alright with C++, I've always wanted to build an application using C++ on my Macs. I use System7-OS9.2.2, and I'd like to know what the best tool out there to use for developing C++ applications.

Good afternoon and Happy Holidays! In college, I bought a used TiBook 400, after a gentleman noticed I was posting to a car forum using a 3400c. He offered me this notebook for $400 (this was back in 2004). After using it for a while, of course it went in stand-by mode, as I moved onto Linux...

I bought these for $50 a pop. Got 6 of them shipped for more than i paid for the machines. Anyway, I'm putting gentoo on these bad boys now. Any idea how/what I should do to get the CPU lights working ("blinkenlights" from the BeBox days)?

Here's what I do know about IIGS's and Accelerators: The accelerator card plugs into the expansion slot, which exposes the memory and data lines on the system. The accelerator's processor is usually clocked much quicker than the stock apple II bus, and using cache memory, transfers the main...

No pictures yet, but i'm attempting to rebuild my collection of IIGS's. I have 2 ROM 03 units and 1 ROM 01 unit, three floppy drives and I know for sure one keyboard and mouse. I also have 3+ phonenet adaptors, and once I find Appleshare 3 I'll have my IIGS remote-booting off of my makeshift...

How does a mac boot up (in detail)? I want to make a living document here to document the bootup process. I know these parts are involved: OldWorld ROM OpenFirmware Mac Toolbench (on ROM) What i'd love to do is make/draw (over a long time) a platform MacOS will run on that isnt a Mac...

I've been on this quest to resurrect a Portable from motherboard death. A well-known portable collector gave me a box of motherboards from the non-backlit and the backlit series. I'm going through each of them and making lists to buy caps for these guys to fix them. Also documenting the PDS slot...

I'm working on a fix for this, but how many users do we have here that have a Macintosh Portable with a drive that does not successfully startup? Typical symptoms include a spinup and spindown, followed by another spinup/spindown until either the battery dies or the system errors out. I have a...
