It might be feasible, assuming you can even find someone with the knowledge/skill that is willing to do it. The bus speeds really aren't all that slow and they would be pretty fast under optimal conditions even compared to to an average user's network speed. It's PC world, but...

Without the RF shielding it's probably not FCC certified anymore. Electrical interference is a thing, but I don't think you'd be able to conclusively identify the lack of it as the cause if you had a problem. Might be an issue if you want audio out. I know speakers can pick up interference...

The "pizza box" is pretty mini as is. If one ditches the floppy and harddrive for a floppy emu and a sd2scsi it'd be VERY mini. Have you considered making an access port on top so you can get to stuff after it's assembled without totally taking it apart. Frankly a slide out tray for the...

It'd be really nice if someone would make a new browser for these machines that conforms to more modern standards as much as possible... That way a stripped down modern page would be loadable/renderable/usable barring totally insufficient processing power. The gateway approach adds a fair bit of...

Flaky cabling? Bad timing/sync? It looks like it's drawing the screen but duplicating bits of it.

Um hack a cabling solution?

Maybe? That seems plausible, although there may be a reason it can't. Supposedly it can be upgraded as far as 520mb (8mb + 256mb + 256mb) using ram sticks. I'd speculate you might have to increment the memory on the board by multiples of two the though given how the simms must be installed in...

Weird. It's not like I have a temp monitor, but I don't seem to recall my 6100/66 having any issues of that sort. Granted that I got fairly frustrated after playing with the DOS card a bit (which was many years ago at this point). Maybe the ram stick in the DOS board blocks airflow? The...

Classilla (for MacOS 9) and TenFourFox (for Mac OS X, particularly 10.4.x) are Mozilla/Firefox web browser backports for PPC macs running the respective OSes by Cameron Kaiser (floodgap.com). They are both kept reasonably up to date afaik (I use them occasionally), albeit with some caveats as to...

There's really no explaining why anyone would value an internal modem on a positively ancient computer so highly. External serial modems are a little less single purposes and usable with any device that has a serial port. Thanks for the pictures. Why store your data on a cassette when you have...

Here are some pictures: http://imgur.com/a/YfR2J They're a bit too big for the post I think.

Ah, plastic tabs. I swear everything inside the LC II is held in with them. It sure makes taking all the stuff out easy, but it does make you a little nervous. Luckily it's fairly obvious the ways they're supposed to bend to get stuff out and they're very easy to see, so there is less chance of...

Wow, talk about a great deal. Hard to preserve the box, but it is pretty cool to have too. The prices definitely vary a lot. I have an Apple IIe myself which I obtained on ebay some years ago (2009 or 2010). At the time I believe I paid ~$200 incl. shipping for the computer, a disk drive, and...

Good luck I guess, let us know how that goes. I have an iBook G4 14" (A1134) running 10.4.11 as well and I just tested a Dell branded TEAC USB floppy drive that I have with it. It didn't seem to mind accessing the disk and copying a file from it. Given that I doubt you need an OS upgrade. How...

Weird problems you've got. You might try hunting for a USB 2.0 cardbus (PC card) adapter and see if that improve the situation. Although obviously that won't fix a drive problem. You say you used the drive with a Win10 machine and formatted a floppy, did you try reading and writing other files...

Honestly I would think a wiki would, in general, be a better choice than making that also depend on the board/forum software which might someday have un-fixable bugs or not provide usable data exports. Especially since a wiki page is really just enhanced HTML for the most part. Although, I'm not...

Could be the "chimes of death"... The tones mentioned in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PTwmtvrdJlQ sound like they might match what you describe.     Also mentioned here: https://68kmla.org/forums/index.php?/topic/26255-lc-iii-chimes-of-death/ You might get a magnifying glass out...

That's good to know. My poor LC II was whining so much yesterday I was concerned the hard drive was finally looking to bite the dust. Of course it turned out to be the speaker. Unplugging the speaker made the noise go away but curiously seemed to interfere with booting with it unplugged. I think...

https://github.com/tmk/tmk_keyboard/tree/master/tmk_core/protocol  You might check out adb.h and adb.c. Understanding how that whole projects works would probably be very useful, but seeing how it talks to an ADB device is immediately relevant. After all the converter probably needs to behave...
