    Rhapsody DR2 FAT Project

    Nothing that fancy, honestly, it's not a Foundation or NSBundle. It's... cruder than that? It's just another folder in /usr/filesystems/, alongside cd9660.fs. Download the archive and take a look! it's all source (except Floppy_reloc, that was a hexedit) I originally hoped it would be as easy...

    Rhapsody DR2 FAT Project

    tl;dr Here is a driver/toolchain/hack for Rhapsody DR2 Intel to read FAT floppies, developed on a ThinkPad 560E. I will be brief, for my short date of breath is not so long as is a tedious tale. Rhapsody is our favorite lost bridge between OpenStep and OS X, the OS Apple built, shipped to...

    i made those PCBs myself... i made them in fritzing because it was fun and fast... nowadays, i would probably use EasyEDA or something. i am NOT convinced the boards work correctly. the wiring is correct, it's a really simple layout, but something about the board doesn't agree with the...

    Replacement Power Supply in Quadra 605

    oh, sir... If "easy" and "cheap" were the qualifiers, none of us would have this infuriating hobby. (ツ)

    PowerBook 180 Replace CCFL with LED

    i just snipped the fuse off entirely. does yours have a switch?? i did not add any diffusion to the LEDs. i have rarely encountered brights spots... i wonder if lightly sanding the top of the LED would add just enough diffusion? i will try that on a build. (i'm playing with a powerbook 1400...

    PowerBook 100 Replace CCFL with LED (in process)

    the LED-converter strips and voltage booster boards are all pretty much the same (product links above have rotted, there links are LMGTFY) there's not much more to the install than is shown, but feel free to ask questions to clarify anything: Find the solder points for ENA, GND, VCC, and...

    PowerBook 100 Replace CCFL with LED (in process)

    holy cow, pardon me, i copypasta’d some web misinfo... the Sharp LM64P791 is a 9" screen.

    Upgrading iBook Clamshell Display?

    i have done (5) iBooks of a couple different generations; i don't use them everyday, but every time i use them they are solid and bright: no drift, no flicker. It's been a great mod for my interests. I cannot report how they run off a battery, and i would be interested to hear about that. it's...

    Mock Floppy Drive (Floppy Emu case mod experiment)

    i will play with that, the OMRON R2DG-38 is really just a fat little servo itself... (but i'd still love to understand the Auto-Inject mechanism...)

    Mock Floppy Drive (Floppy Emu case mod experiment)

    i had one non-working drive that i decided to dismantle: i couldn't figure out how to just get the mechanism separate. Worth another try, but drives are limited. the bigger problem is: the servo just doesn't have enough torque to push the existing metal cage around. It can flip a wee switch...

    Mock Floppy Drive (Floppy Emu case mod experiment)

    the board is dead simple; i asked a friend to throw the code together, “sure, that sounds easy.”

    Mock Floppy Drive (Floppy Emu case mod experiment)

    I have been working on a Mock Floppy Drive. My goal is a drop-in unit with a Floppy Emu at its heart, albeit with the screen and controls moved to a fake floppy disk that pops in and out like a real disk. There is no need for this device, it solves no problem, and might be completely...
