Yes! They'll have to update their free tier with more hours (currently it's 10 hrs/month) and/or offer an unlimited paid tier (I thought they used to offer a plan for $10/month, but saw no mention of it on their current site). Of course, anyone in this day and age would have to be very...

I'm not @bigmessowires , but this one's easy: The Mac II doesn't have an external floppy port. Most Macs with provisions for two internal drives (the Mac II, IIx and IIfx, and the original LC) don't have external ports, with the exception of the SE, which has room for two internal drive and...

@Trash80toHP_Mini Agreed. Most early trackpads weren't the greatest. When they worked, they worked OK, but they were finicky, and in particular not very tolerant of moisture. I would say that the first genuinely decent Apple trackpad came on the Aluminum PowerBooks, although the clamshell...

NetZero still offers dialup. 10 free hours per month! There are no signs of them shutting down any time soon, but given how completely obsolete the service is, who knows..... c

??? I think you're joking??? That aside, it is too bad that AOL's dialup service is gone, but you know? I actually didn't know it was still a thing! I thought it had been discontinued decades ago! c

You got me there! :LOL: c

Why make things harder than they have to be? There's nothing wrong with using the Installer SDK if that's what one wants to do, but the main reason why these "lesser" tools existed in the first place was to make creating installers easier, so why not use them to make creating installers...

Exactly! c

Lots of applications used it though. Stuffit InstallerMaker was another popular installer package of note. I played with it a bunch way back when (sadly, the hard drive with all my earliest stuff crashed years ago; I still have it though, so it may be possible to recover it someday). c

I saw that Lisa! I was tempted to get it myself, but I didn't have the means. I'm glad you got it though! I would love to have one myself someday, but I've pretty much resigned myself to the fact that it'll likely never happen because the prices are simply too high, and my budget is...

They are! They definitely are better than Selenium rectifiers, which are finicky, bulky, and prone to releasing copious amounts of acrid, toxic smoke when they fail. Thankfully they're not a problem for virtually any computer built within the past ~45 years (we got RIFAs instead, which are...

Apparently he has released a disk image of the compiled chip-8 demo as seen in the video, which is the next best thing: https://github.com/KenDesigns/Chip4Mac68000/blob/main/build.dsk c

If I ever get around to fixing one of my Quads (I have one which no doubt is completely dead, and another that allegedly worked when I got it almost 10 years ago), I'm going to have to convert it to air cooling. Odds are that between the two, I can find enough parts to get one working machine...

I have several sets of hinges that are floppy. They work, insomuch as they more or less hold the screen where it's supposed to be, but, well, they flop, which makes using them a bit annoying. And the hinges on my one good Pismo are a also bit floppy, but less than the others and adequately...

Interesting. So, if I'm understanding correctly, the addresses of the upper 16 or so MB wrap back around and overlap with the bottom 16 MB, causing all sorts of mayhem. If this is true, then the RAM can be upgraded past 64 MB and the PowerBook will dutifully report the amount (81 MB, in this...

Perhaps that issue is mitigated by the G3 upgrade? c

I have some Tobies! And a Mac II! But, alas, no scope. And My Mac II needs a recap to be operable. *sigh* c

Ooo, of course. c

I swear that all these "upgrades" meant to replace all those "primitive" POS systems from the 80s and 90s with slick 'n click systems that do everything have only made things worse. They are slow, cumbersome, and people can't figure out how to use them because the UI was designed by idiots who...

Which is easier to find? It seems like most PCs of the time used 3.3V RAM (unless I'm mistaken), which, naturally, makes that the easier of the two types to find. I have a PowerTower Pro/225 I wouldn't mind maxing out someday. c
