    SE anode cap: Inconsistent connection with inside of CRT?

    Yes, I don’t know how MUCH you are experiencing, but with CRTs correctly set so cutoff is right before any lines appear in the tube at maximum brightness, there’s always a somewhat “larger” image than when brightness is at the lowest before the image totally disappears.

    Yes. The above also is normal: the screen has ALWAYS bulged a bit when the brightness is turned all the way up.

    If you could bring back classic Mac OS software, what would it be?

    Actually….i wish they had a version of Kaboom! for today’s machines.

    If you could bring back classic Mac OS software, what would it be?

    I only do via Boot Camp. Never been a PC in my home.

    Not quite the same. Today’s macOS is a kludge of useless bloat. I prefer the cleaner OS 9 and below interface.

    Mac OS itself, except made stable underneath like early OS X.

    How to transfer files from PowerBook 1400c to MacBook M3?

    Thanks for the clarification, Josh.

    Were these machines always so painful? Maybe I'm misremembering, or maybe age hasn't been kind to them.

    My PT Pro has a Sonnet G3 card in it as well replacing the original 604s. Never attempted OS X; I’ve got G4s for that. It works just fine and dandy with the ATA and G3 at the same time, though.

    Could be your card. My card is exactly that: A Sonnet Tempo ATA-133. I put it in as a new old stock card never opened about a year ago, and it has worked perfectly on my PT Pro, which is essentially a 9500.

    Macintosh Portable SLIM cards

    Well I don't know much about the cards, but as for the icons, non-HD equipped models were able to be equipped with two internal 1.4 drives, and that is what the Icons 130 and 131 are used to represent in the system.

    Operation : PewPew! A new game for 68040 and soon... 68030

    Now THIS looks like fun. Also looks like it would be at home on a 68000 based compact.

    Indeed it is. This is what happens when you have brain farts when you are otherwise occupied mentally by other things. It’s an ATA 133 card.

    Bolo Crashing on Mac Classic

    I was pretty sure he said he did this in 6.0.8, 7.1, and 7.5.5…which does indeed make this vexing.
