Has Fink's account been hacked? Or am I just missing an in joke? I've reported to the admins in case it was a security issue.

Oh excellent, I've added that to my 'to watch' list when I'm next doing cardio at the gym! That's exactly the kinda thing I love to watch on the elliptical!

I need to fix my Iicx. It works fine, except the floppy interfaces don't. I can't remember what exactly I found when I was diagnosing it.. but I remember it was a weird issue that didn't seem to make sense. I have my Iicx hooked up to a 21" Apple Studio Display.. it may be slightly overkill 🙂

I had to cannibalise two broken units to get one working, but I’m glad I’ve now got one! Well, it was in a large house in a very rough part of Newcastle (apparently there was a big riot there in the early 90s and half of it was demolished after it) so maybe they felt safer having stuff hidden!

She is wonderful. I’d be lost without her.

Thank you for posting this!

I’ve not been collecting much lately due to lack of space and no money, but my wife got me a few little things for my birthday a while ago: In particular I’m most excited about Judgement Rites. I’ve recently re-played the 25th anniversary game (the one with the voices of the original cast)...

Same for me

Oh yes please post it when you can. Not that I’ll have a chance to do any repairs to the monitors any time soon, but it’ll be nice to have! Well Done for finding it, and getting a working one!

A lovely person has gifted me a nearly pristine trash can Mac Pro for my collection. It’s a fairly high spec model, 3.7ghz CPU, D500 GPU, 1TB stock SSD and I think it was 512GB of RAM. I’m not sure if it had the GPU repair done or not, but I’m guessing not. Either way it’s beautiful.. even...

Oh fantastic! I have 2 dead international models that I’ve not even attempted to look at yet, mainly because I hadn’t found a list of components to order for it! Much appreciated!

I have one of these… ironically I don’t have a Classic II!

Oh perfect.. I’ve been meaning to do this for both of my TAMs! Did you also do the main machine?

Well that depends.. if it’s currently running 10.0.0 and they end up with a MDD they’ll need at least.. 10.2? So the combi update won’t work in that situation.

It’ll depend on the version of OSX but even if it doesn’t likely an upgrade to a slightly newer version will work, although make sure the drum scanner software works with that.. scanners are notoriously bad for driver updates

It depends on what model you move the hard disk into, and what OS it’s running. If it’s an identical model, or one that can run the OS that’s currently installed, then you’ll be able to just switch the HDs around. If you upgrade it to a newer model, you’ll still be able to switch the hard...

That's an awesome idea. Also maybe occasionally cuts itself? 😅

Just fyi taking off the plastic shell is actually very easy in these, it basically breaks apart into 3 parts with about 6 screws. The computer itself is mostly enclosed in a metal shell so if the plastic is carefully removed the shell will be fairly robust

Very cool!

Very cool!
