    IIci will not power on

    BlueSCSI Laptop to external WiFi Antenna?

    from what I understand... there is no place to connect an antenna to the pico. otherwise.. it would be a great idea :) outside the scope of the thread I think ;) you could... but why would you? lots of pain for little gain. just use an SD extender if you need to expose the slot.

    Macintosh SE Dead ADB Ports/IC

    aren't the ADB ports usually fused? Maybe not on the SE though.

    SCSI to SATA?

    SCSI to SATA adapters do exist, but they're rather expensive and very overkill for the SCSI-1 bus in a 68k mac.

    Question about the Macintosh Portable

    good work. bodges will get easier over time. i dunno what you mean by that. what's an "external power bridger"? start simple. remove the disk, remove the bluescsi. power on. what do you see? share a good photo. then, try to boot from a floppy disk, share a good photo of that. if you press...

    OmniTalk WIP AIO AppleTalk Router, MacIP Gateway and AFP Server

    I actually think “OmniSlop” is the most appropriate name for this project, specifically because it’s AI-generated. If you look at what this system is doing—combining an AppleTalk router, MacIP gateway, AFP server, and potentially more—it’s not something that emerged from a single, clean...

    A journal of two SE/30s

    number one probably just needs a deep clean and recap. scrub or blow all the dust off, remove the old surface mount capacitors... clean up the leaked electrolyte. number two will need more work. clean the dust off the board, remove the battery crust... neutralize the corrosion with white...
