I’ve read the documentation - I understand that the wombat only works with keyboard and mice, and not with gamepad but… If there are any USB gamepads without analogue sticks, which identify as keyboards (hence requiring no drivers, and hence only requiring configuration in the game itself), I...

Does anyone know if it's possible to create a cable that would enable the 1.44MB Superdrive to be plugged into the external floppy drive port of my Mac?  That would be a useful hack!

I've just acquired a Quadra 700 - but it has an unusual problem, and APD thinks that all checks out with the box! When the Quadra is doing nothing, the video (on the Macintosh Colour Display more usually seen connected to my LCIII) is stable and crisp.  When it's processing, the video gets a...

Thanks for the tip.  Now I just need to get the right caps.

Ouch.  I hope not!  Where could I get a good replacement CRT from!?

Ohh kay.  So now my SE/30 is booting fine, and all seemed well.  But… …the screen is rather dim (in fact, totally black until the brightness knob has gone past half-way) - and occasionally shimmys very slightly.  You wouldn't notice unless you were looking.  Damn.  Just when it all seemed to be...

You are all absolute legends (especially the creator of the Savage Taylor website).  I set up exactly as shown, and added a brand new 16GB SD card for good measure - and now my SE/30 seems to be very happy (on cursory inspection, anyway).  I'm going to soak test it with Tetris now! Thank you!

Okay, so my SE/30 is recapped and, in all other respects, works fine.  Even the power supply has been serviced.  It's 32bit clean, packing 64MB RAM - a real beauty.  I could try it with the original ROM SIMM as well, I suppose - except that my LCIII+ (also recapped) has the same problem with the...

What configuration should I use for SCSI2SD (V5.1)?  I'm having no luck at all with mine.  This is the story. With the old hard drive, my Mac was Sad Mac'ing on every boot.  I tried fitting my spare hard disk, loose in the case, and it booted fine (so I don't think that the problem is with my...

Yeah - I tried that (and it's an excellent resource).  Sadly, it still isn't working!

Awesome work Realitystorm!  That website is brilliant.  Thanks for this.

The twist is that it isn't for an Apple II.  It isn't for an emulator either.  What I'd like is an easy way to get ProDOS disk images, or software, in a format that can be readily installed on a Macintosh LCIII with an Apple II card installed. There are lots of sources of Apple II software on...

I've given my son his grandfather's old G5 - just until he proves that he can look after nice things.  I'm not going to splurge the cash on him only for him to break whatever it is that he's been given! The problem I have is that Parental Controls for web browsing don't seem to work any more...

And the prize goes to Bolle!  Thank you - you're a top bloke and all round diamond geezer who definitely knows where his towel is.  My G4 is happy again!

The Mulitprocessor Plugin theory sounds interesting.  Where is this plugin?  It's not loose in the System folder AFAICS, nor in the Extensions folder.  What's it called?

I have a G4 Digital Audio - which is behaving very oddly.  The specification, for reference and in case this has a bearing on matters, is that it has 1GB RAM, DVD-RW, Zip 250, a Sonnet Duet 1.6GHz accelerator, Sonnet SATA card (with a 500GB SATA drive attached), Maxtor 75GB hard drive, Maxtor...

Excellent.  Detailed instructions please? I couldn't get it to work at stripping / converting - but I'd love to know how to.

Okay. So there's a new version up on GitHub which does more to reformat email so that it displays correctly with classic Mac email clients. More work needs to be done to strip extended Unicode (emoji), and (for some reason) some messages are losing their subjects. All this is fixable. SMTP is...

Okay, so there are a few things to do first (not least letting me know what system you built on, and what errors you saw. Email them to me at the 45RPM Software support address.) There shouldn't be any build errors or warnings. Next, look in the mail folder that you configured in your...
