Coming soon part 2 - a better organized place for all this repair documentation I've been gathering.
I'm shuffling some things around - don't worry, all previous links will be redirected to their new locations.
Coming soon to macdat.net - all the available Macintosh schematics in one place!

I don't know why, but I remember Basilisk as being cludgy and crash-prone. I used the hda images from my ZuluSCSI in my 475 and it runs quick and completely error-free. The Daystar QuadControl control panel doesn't even crash it (it does it on the web-based InfiniteMac emulator).
The Ikea customers, they're always falling for Meatballs
This is going well
and we're back!

i know this could be a very divisive subject among a lot of vintage laptop enthusiasts as it takes away a good amount of the charm from a vintage laptop, but what do yall think of the idea of modern LCD replacements for vintage laptops, especially those whose screens have deteriorated or are just broken?
I bought another PowerBook 540c.
I don't do it myself but for anyone that does any ROM programming, I seent this today.

got a powermac 6400 off of ebay, can't wait for it to arrive. also getting a radeon 7000 to flash to a mac ROM and will transfer my g3 upgrade from my 6360 over. its gonna be a killer system 7 machine
i have a couple of pre-balled 1GHz 7455A chips and i'm thinking i want to get a 2002 eMac and a spare board, and swap one in. also i have a couple of dead G4 cards and the 2002 eMacs and iMac G4s have provisions for L3 cache. pretty sure you can tell what this girl is thinking about doing
has anyone tried to upgrade the L2 cache or the CPU on a sonnet crescendo L2 card? i have an old G4 7400 card sitting around, plus a crazy idea... but i guess i would only just be able to get 1MB of L2 from 512KB given my equipments capabilities...

Hi Berenod,
did you succeed with your inquiry for the pinout of M7783?
I have also a blown up AC-Adapter and would like to replace it with a standard 24 V power supply.
Does it really only need 1 voltage?
I am confused about the 3 Pin connector and don't know where to apply the 24 V.
Appreciate your help

did an onboard RAM upgrade on my IIsi not too long ago, swapped out the 128KB chips for 512KB chips and now my IIsi has 4MB of 70ns onboard memory. yes it will likely make it slower, but i felt like it, also i know i am not the first one to do this lol
