Hi, Been curious about this topic. Do you know any b&w games that include music during gameplay? Do not include titles that feature music in title screen/intro ("Airborne"). I know there is quite nice music in Tetris, but those russian melodies tend to stop in middle of gameplay, giving you...

I swapped fully working 800k and SuperDrives (confirmed with other Macs), but to no avail. Should I try recapping the remaining cap - the biggest one? Or SWIM chip is dead?

Hi, I did recap the mobo and analogue board, I get stable display and the computer is booting fine from BlueSCSI. Working with OS 6.0.8 and 7.1. On floppy port I get a stable 12 volts and 4,97 volts. However it does not utilize floppy drive - internal or external. I get no reaction when...

it took some time to repair my old Mac to read this disk. Here's what is inside

Hi Recapped my Macintosh Classic, but it booted without sound and gave me this nasty checkerboard pattern. I was worried that my soldering skills were not perfect and somewhat the caps are misalligned. Cleaned the mobo with IPA. Nothing, just still the bootscreen for chess fanboys. Tried power...

wow that's what I needed!

Hi, I am thinking about using my old Macs (512k, Plus, SE/30) as distraction free typewriters. Is there any chance I could use white color characters on black screen to reduce eye strain? I think in mid 90s I used telnet or terminal emulator program for my old PowerBook 170 that had this...

hi, want to run old Apple II software (mainly games) on IIgs with 3,5” drive and plenty of 800k disks to use, but no 5,25 drive. Is there any way to convert those games to DiskCopy 4.2 format and write them on 3,5” floppies? That’s my temporary plan before I get adapter for my Gotek emulator...

I've had the same issue with my SE/30 after replacing the chips damaged by capacitors' leakage. Did you try to reflow the solder joints on that small neckboard that connects to the CRT? It helped in case of my SE/30 and other SE.

Hi, cant find the .stl files for basic case as seen below. All the 3D files were substituted with v2 version. Where can I find one?

I made one using cut wooden chopstick ;)

Tobbas: Did you find the solution? I just added diode to my Plus's mobo, put dual OS (System 6/System 7.0.1) on microSD card that I inserted in my BlueSCSI v.1, naming it HD10_512.hda and voila! It booted System 6 right off the bat. You just need a proper image.

Hi, while browsing my father's old Mac software archives from the 80s, I came across a pre-release version of MacAuthor floppy with xerox copied manual (in English). Has anyone heard of this program? I believe I've read somewhere that initial MacAuthor project became Claris MacWrite in the end...

zigzagjoe: the image you just offered to OP is 1.2 MB, so it wont work with the Plus. Tobbas: you could try someone else's image confirmed working on Plus. It is recommended to format the SD card using the patched Apple HD Utility, but how? When I try to do it within Basilisk I cant select my...
