Very cool! There are some TA/KB/TIL articles that mention the LaserWriter SC archived here: https://savagetaylor.com/til/articles.html System 7: Using Personal LaserWriter SC and LaserWriter IISC - TIL07861 Power Macintosh 6100 & Personal LaserWriter SC (1994-05-01) - TIL15397 Mac OS 8.x: No...

I'm normally silent about forum strife like this and maybe I should have stayed that way... I was in no way saying that anyone should not dispute inaccuracies, and/or offer opinions. In general I just wish the tone was more civil, less judgmental, less mean. Again this is a global statement...

My comments were directed at everyone, not sure why you would think they were directed at you vs. others. And I certainly I did not say there was anything wrong with expressing opinions, correcting the record as you see it, I just wish there wasn't snarkiness involved. I'll leave it to others...

I really wish we could all find a way to get along better. :-/ It seems like there should be more we have in common than what separates us, we all love vintage Macs! Can we try to see things from other prospectives? Agree to disagree and try to avoid snarky comments? Express our opinions...

AM85c80 Which is a combined SCSI Serial IC. Apple referred to it the "Combo Chip" in hardware development notes, e.g. PowerBook 100 Hardware Developer Note. SCC and SCSI interfaces A custom chip called Combo combines the functions of the SCC and the SCSI controller in a single device. This...

Would any of the info on or linked to from this project be helpful? https://github.com/warmech/apple-13w3-display-connector-adapter

Great post, interesting! Is this a 1MB L2 cache module produced by Apple? Can you post some pictures of it?

For what it's worth I have one of these Quaddoublers that came to me in a Centris 610 and it does work* in my Quadra 605 (basically same thing as LC 475). *Mine did not come with a fan so it seems to overheat and lock up the system pretty quick running at 50Mhz in the Q605, at only 40MHz in the...

I was looking at some docs I got that originally came with a Performa 475, they covered the "Macintosh Performa 400 Series" that existed in the later half of 1993 (410, 460, 466, 467, 475 and 476) and I noticed that the "Technical Information" booklet says the Performa 410 has a "MC68020"...

I've been trying to organize my Apple documentation/ephemera and have scanned the packing lists I have as part of that. Ideally I'd love to have all the original boxes and their contents that came with the items in my collection so I've picked things up when costs seem reasonable. It seems...

Impressive indeed! Curious, in the last pic, with a finned heatsink like that installed you just don't install the original heat spreader thing?

Jealous! Looks like it's in great shape! I've been wanting to add one of these to my collection.

😀 I think you need the 4MB VRAM upgrade for the PowerMacintosh G3 built-in video to do millions of colors at 1024x768

It's a cool monitor! I always wondered if the color scheme was considered for Blue and White G3... Some info about the stand not staying up/potential fix: https://68kmla.org/bb/threads/never-thought-id-see-the-day-studio-display-15-inch-flat-panel-rev-a.44864/

I love the Umax SuperMac c500 as well! I have two, a 180 and a 200, although the 180’s power supply is dead. 🙁 Is it possibly the most compact old world Mac …with two PCI slots? When I was in college in the late 90s we used a c500 as the NAT router for our college newspaper office to get all...
