Just curious if it’s possible to hide a partition or drive from the desktop on classic mac os 8.1 / 7.6.1 / 7.5.5? I have a partition that I have an alias to, and I’d like to clean up the desktop by hiding the actual partition or drive if possible.

I want to put an ESP32 Softcard in my IIGS, but I don't want to switch monitors, or have a secondary monitor. I'd like to be able to use my Apple RGB monitor with the ESP32 Softcard. Is it possible to adapt composite output from the ESP32 Softcard to the Apple RGB monitor?

I'm recapping my iBook G3 clamshell, and I was planning on just removing the "supercapacitor" unless it's going to cause issues. My battery is dead, and I don't plan on rebuilding the battery, and don't care my PRAM settings don't save, so I was thinking I'd just remove it, so I don't have to...

Does anyone have any idea how the chipset heatsink is connected on an iMac G4 logic board? It has little tabs touching the logic board, but I can't tell if they're soldered and what purpose the tabs serve. I want to re-paste the chipset heatsink, but obviously I don't want to destroy the board.

Exploring what I can do with my IIGS, don't have much experience. I have Sonics installed and I am looking to replace the startup beep, but I'm having trouble figuring out how to convert audio formats. Can anyone point me in the right direction on how I could convert a wav file to something I...

Anyone have any ideas why I can't get my FloppyEMU to work with a Powerbook Duo 2300C? It's been recapped, and I get the same exact message on 2 different Powerbook Duo 2300c's. One has been recapped, one has NOT been recapped. I used the information from this thread...

Looking for some help ID-ing a capacitor. It's obviously 25V but I can't find a spec sheet for this series so I'm not sure of the capacitance. It's from the logic board of a Powerbook Duo 2300c.

I'm primarily posting this to share an alternative back panel for the mystic color classic that can be 3D printed, but I'll share my story and photos that lead to the model, but I'll keep it brief and to the point. Huge thanks to Kay Koba and JDW for being awesome people! I bought a mystic...

Looking for some help with the pinout of the IDC20 connector on the FloppyEMU / Macintosh LC575. I am setting up a FlippyFloppy from the magical Kay Koba, but I want to use a DB19 connector instead of the IDC20 cable. This is purely for aesthetic, and completely form over function. I'll be...

I'm planning on recapping my iMac G3 analog board and neck board. I know I have to discharge the CRT, but I thought I read somewhere that there may be charges stored elsewhere that need to be discharged. Is there anything to be aware of besides discharging the tube on an iMac G3 DV? I can't find...

The power regulation board that is a part of the logic board on the iMac G3 has a few Teapo branded capacitors that are the same values but one has a typical brown case, while the other has a green and gold case. The only difference I can find is the gold and green is marked SC105 C and the...

I am replacing the caps on my G3 DV logic board and having some trouble identifying a cap. I think it's 47uf 25V, but I'm having some trouble confirming that. Still learning about identifying caps. The cap's markings show E2 470E UD. Just a google search for that string pulls up the data sheet...

I have a mystic color classic I purchased from another person. I was told no hardware modifications were done, and ResEdit was used to enable the LC575 board to work with the CC. I followed the VGA mod outlined on powerpc.org. I did both the sense line mod and the horizontal deflection mod, and...

I can't seem to get rid of the black bars. I followed the guide from https://powercc.org/640x480/ I have a revision D analog board, but the step that is different (that is listed) is to isolate pin 20 by cutting since the jumper J28 does not exist. The resolution is properly set to 640x480 but I...

I'm looking for some advice on if this is possible to fix, and how to go about doing so. The pad is lifted, but its a little more than just the pad. It looks like the bottom layer was torn slightly with the pad.

I'm considering buying an IODD ST400 virtual USB CD drive to load games on an iMac G3 / G4, but curious if anyone has tried to use one with Mac OS 9, and if it works with Mac OS 9. I'm wondering if it shows up as a USB CD drive.

I'm new to 68K macs, and I have an LC575 (in a color classic), and I'm just looking at what things I can do to it. I found a legit 40MHz XC68040RC40 MC68040RC40 CPU for sale, and I'm having a hard time finding info on if I can swap the CPU out for the higher clocked non LC chip, and if so, can I...

I am finally setting up an Apple IIGS I have had for some years. I have a 4MB RAM expansion card installed, a FloppyEMU, a 5.25" floppy drive, a 3.5" floppy drive, and now a MicroDrive Turbo installed. I think I would like my IIGS to boot into GSOS upon startup, and then I can use my FloppyEMU...
