    7.0 or 7.1 800k Boot Floppy with AppleShare ?

    The 7.x Network Access disk is a 1.44MB floppy, and it still only just fits.

    Unicorn internal HD for Mac and Mac+? Micah Drive AT

    With my mod hat on, please feel free to post folklore.org style stories here! Not sure if you'd get more readership in model forums or in the Lounge (as @adespoton suggests), where more of the storytelling stuff and history chat seems to happen, though. This site isn't intended to be...

    Heatwave Triggers Mac mini Retirement!

    I think they have a volatile liquid in it to assist with heat transfer but it is pushing it a bit to call it liquid cooling, it's just a way of conducting heat a bit better.

    Programmable Diagnostic ROM Idea for Mac "Post Codes"

    this is pretty close to what Acorn did in similar circumstances

    Duo 2300c fully working but... who can do recapping with tantalum caps in the UK ?

    If you have time and feel like it, it'd be interesting to hear more about how you're using the PB, perhaps in its own thread - we don't get many people (but more than zero!) who are still using these machines for "real" work, and I know several of us are always interested when someone is. If...

    Duo 2300c fully working but... who can do recapping with tantalum caps in the UK ?

    Welcome to the forum! Agreed, personally I'd look at polymer caps these days first. Tants are not so nice for several reasons. Unfortunately most of us that I know of in the UK don't do it as a service. @croissantking has been known to in the past though (he has done several laptops for me)...

    Installing Mac OS 8.6 via iMac/266 Restore CD

    that's very interesting and odd; did they just not think that anyone would try the restore CD in anything else? This is confirmation that @Snial has been sent to us from the future to guide our path.

    The Apple Lisa Inside an FPGA!

    Oh, this was a Ph.D procrastination project? The level of required effort makes a lot more sense now :-D (I say this with empathy, not judgily...)

    kind of had it with CRT's...

    ah, yes, that short-lived fad for sepiascale

    Microspot Backgrounder & MacPalette II Error

    Not only are they still in business, they still sell MacDraft! Though I would imagine it has basically zero of the original code left. But they're obviously proud of their history, so they might have a copy somewhere (or be willing to send you one)

    MacDVI - OSS Pico 2 based TTL to DVI video converter!

    Aha. I missed this project somehow! I was looking for something like this a while back, tried to build my own and couldn't get it working properly. Next time I do anything on that project I'll try yours out instead, it looks much better.

    Oh, brilliant. I'm happy for you - enjoy it!

    Wireshark AppleTalk dissector improvements.

    ahhh fun with classful addressing. Also, ew.

    Durosity’s conquests and collection

    Congratulations! That's really good. Good luck with the third part - I'm sure it's anxiety-inducing but pretty sure you will get it.

    Potential replacement cases / the future of our existing plastics

    I'm honestly still impressed that you managed to make the SE/30 cases you did vaguely economically viable, let alone anything bigger and less common. It all reminds me a little of the Acorn A4, which was the first ARM laptop. The process of getting a laptop enclosure made was so expensive that...
