    Backporting HFS+ to Mac OS 8.0 and earlier

    hack = at your own risk doesn't possibly mutilate your system in an obvious way = why is it in hacks? I know its actually a lot more vague than that but its probably still a good way to oversimplify the existence of this particular forum category tho? :-)

    What do you do when you need a complex hardware repair you can't handle yourself?

    @gsteemso fusebox by water isn't the only wild thing inept-or-noncaring people gets away with, what about gas pipes literally right through ductway with a pipe-to-pipe weld mid-duct as well? (and I still remember one particular 2000-2010 hgtv holmes episode rerun where he openly complained...

    recommend me a ... Printer

    well @Chardonneret the 'small' stylewriters were pretty much canon hardware underneath the apple plastics to a certain degree so tbh expendables not surprisingly are alike at times. as a just-for-one-example footnote the bc10 ink would work in almost every older 2-digits canon bjc printers in...

    HD SCSI for PowerMac 7600

    thanks @finkmac I was sure I recall the rom slot being always empty under normal conditions (even then I only just now remembered something else, is this still the same story for the few nubus/pds-not-pci board in the same number range?)

    HD SCSI for PowerMac 7600

    I could be wrong but as far as I recall the 7xxx-9xxx series or therefore somehow had a rom slot as much as the rom was already actively onboard itself, the slot itself probably is some troubleshooting leftover that was retained in production for some apparent reason (on the other hand the 6xxx...

    G4 MDD SfX PSU

    I know its not adc but remind me if I'm wrong, didn't some/all g4's also depend on a direct psu tap for the firewire ports too? I forgot if this was where 24v came from too or it rather was just the more common 12v rails being tapped from instead

    How long until we see enhanced mac motherboard recreations?

    have to agree with obeydaleks.. even then I will just add these comments; itx is just simply atx without several more pci slots so I guess it might depend on the user's card(s) wishes, just curious why atx? 12vo is more progressive (and much smaller to deal with), assuming that adb is native in...

    USB/FW capture card for PowerPC Macs?

    its not the portable kind (bit on bulky size especially) but even then there is the datavideo dac-5 and some other datavideo products that should work with osx (as they appear to simply show up as generic dv feed to the os afaik) if anyone is curious? even then be mindful that some of the...

    Trying To Identify A Logo

    hard to say for sure but I *think* its spelled 'hc' (which unforunately is an audio-spammed term on the web now) since 'ch' appears to be a different kind of company&logo that has nothing to do with cables/cords hope someone else could know more

    Stuck Jaz Disk

    yeah I figured that as much early on and unfortunately a 800kb disk looks very much like a 1.44mb disk so I pretty much did have to 'power-thump' the drive quite a few times till I had finally skimmed through the heap of non-retail disks I had, with the 800kb[and 400kb?] ones being set to the...

    Stuck Jaz Disk

    I doubt this is related to the iomega drives but on a funny note, the imagination ls120 drive doesn't "like" 800kb disks when being used with osx and in a weird way actually won't want to eject these at all - but you don't have to freak out, just pull power cord out then the usb cable .. then...

    PICT Data Format

    I almost thought I would help but the one particular site I sometimes like to refer myself to seemingly has no actual entry for pict format but somehow does mention it a few times in the eps format page nevertheless https://www.loc.gov/preservation/digital/formats/fdd/fdd000246.shtml I guess...

    ImageWriter II Single Color Issue

    not to be a bit too cruel here but this sounds like "percussive maintenance" with something not too blunt (so if you were thinking of using one then I'm going to have to tell you to put that sledgehammer down *right now!* hehe..) but yet enough to make the old thing still work again hm?

    magma pci expansion chassis .. pci host cards?

    thanks @Byrd theres a few references in general on the 'ducky' avid forum and even one digidesign pci chassis mentioned on os9lives so the mac support indeed seem to be out there .. and yeah if I somehow end up buy a chassis kit for some reason then I'll happily post about it in here

    magma pci expansion chassis .. pci host cards?

    after having posted this unrelated random find https://68kmla.org/bb/index.php?threads/eu-ebay-finds-thread.37466/page-50#post-556393 I had to think a bit again about having looked online a bit there and there on the web ever since friday with regarding to magma pci's.. does anyone know if...

    quick curiousity about doing a particular gpu setup on 6400's

    mm thanks @NJRoadfan I had simply been thinking about being able to have 1024x768 (or a bit higher) in million of colour as my primary screen but just wondering if I was going to bother with a smaller second monitor which would had otherwise ran off the onboard graphics (since the pci card only...

    quick curiousity about doing a particular gpu setup on 6400's

    just had to wonder if one could had used a dedicated pci video card as the primary monitor and still utilize the onboard graphic controller for a secondary monitor too or is the way the hardware/software set up such that it at bootup detection would always be marking the onboard output as the...

    G3 All In One AIO Molar Mac personality card intercompatibility?

    @Trekintosh just in case you might be wondering about this too, I don't know if this applies to all of them or not but if your a/v card doesn't have a 10-pin header for the apple tv-or-tvfm tuner daughtercard then it is only a few passive components and a new header (or I guess one can hotwire a...

    G3 All In One AIO Molar Mac personality card intercompatibility?

    I don't know anything about them but a quick look at the personality card's density seem to suggest that theres something else on the card that the g3's logic board is always looking for all the times. even the most basic audio-only personality card still has quite more chips (nevermind varying...

    Old System 7.0.x Software topic... revisited.

    I don't know versioning history so I may be wrong but with regarding to no 7.02 or 7.03 it might be either a private internal number that was never to be released or was buggered in some way toward the end that on fixing it up the next number was automatically chosen on public release instead...
