    SuperMac Marketing Tool Kit Vol. 1

    Just posted to Macintosh Garden: https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/supermac-marketing-tool-kit-vol-1 Looks like some neat stuff although you need period (1991) versions of Pagemaker, Persuasion, etc. to open the contents.

    Restoration CD for market software

    Unfortunately I do not :-( (I have originals of discs 3, 5, and 6 v1.1) @MrFahrenheit would you happen to have an original of "Apple Restoration CD - System Software Disk 1 (September 1994)"?

    Power Computing PowerCenter Pro

    So before I get to trying a CPU upgrade I needed a hard disk since the original was missing. Since the bundled Adaptec 2930BU SCSI card (AHA-2930B MAC) card supports Ultra SCSI, 20MB/s I wanted to make use of that if I could. From the Read Me: Fortuitously, BlueSCSI and ZuluSCSI recently...

    IIsi power supply won't turn off, I'm deep in schematic land

    Like @Garrett B I also have a recapped IIsi/Sony PS exhibiting this same behavior. In my case maybe ~20% of the time the Shutdown DOES stick and it doesn't start up again. One thing I wondered (coming from a place of zero real understanding of how this all works) was if what looks like a little...

    Power Computing PowerCenter Pro

    I have a XLR8 CarrierZIF - XLR27 R1.0 in my collection but can't seem to find any info on that specific version of this ZIF G3 carrier card. I'd love to find way to use it in my PowerCenter Pro with a 60MHz bus setting. I have 266 G3/512KB ZIF module that I'm hoping would run at 240MHz (4 x...

    XLR8 CarrierZIF - XLR27 R1.0 switch settings

    Does anyone know where I can find the manual and/or info on the switch settings for this CPU upgrade card? XLR27 R1.0 Copyright 1998-2000, XLR8 Inc XLR-H82K-XVJC-B572 I found some info on an older? version that has 12 switches but this one only has 10.

    Realtek RTL8139D PCI Network Card Compatible with a PowerMac 6500?

    I think the issue could be your WiFi router. It is much more common than not that they do not bridge the AppleTalk protocol traffic between their WiFi and Ethernet interfaces (as they absolutely do for TCP/IP). Apple's long discontinued AirPort basestation products support this but not sure if...

    Was the Daystar Turbo 040 the best 040 accelerator?

    I agree, neat machines. Reading the history, timing wise I definitely see how folks would be down on these models at the time. The much faster, cheaper Centris 650 arrived very quickly after. Taken on their own these are decent Macs compared to LCIIs and what not. I think the CD-ROM audio is...

    Power Computing PowerCenter Pro

    I've always been aware of the Mac clones but I don't think I've understood/appreciated how different some were before now. I've mainly thought they were just the same as Apple's offerings in PC cases, i.e. my Umax SuperMac c500 is very similar to a Performa 6360 but without the Apple video...

    So got three surprises in one computer

    Wow, great find! I also didn't know a 1400 could use more than 64MB of RAM!? I thought the max was 8MB logic board + 8MB "factory" expansion card + two stacked 24MB "user" expansion cards.

    UMAX SuperMac C series CacheDoubler

    @GeekDot I saw your update to this post on your site, congrats on getting a CacheDoubler! Any chance you could post some pictures of your board here? I'm interested in confirming the value of a missing capacitor (C1) I guessed on a replacement on mine and how your jumper block is configured...

    Introducing ForceY2K, a system extension to manipulate system datetime during boot

    This is great! The warning dialog is a little thing but will be so glad to put this on my machines without PRAM batteries. :) Anyone know if there is something like his that can disable General Controls menu blinking and set the Mouse speed on boot? along with Force32 those would likely cross...

    Realtek RTL8139D PCI Network Card Compatible with a PowerMac 6500?

    True, but you can get ~double the performance you get on 10 Mb/s. The question does remain if that is of much benefit for what you're doing with your old Mac. (its not really for me, just fun to play with) I did some testing awhile back on this, as to not clutter this thread...

    100Mbps Ethernet benefit on Power Mac 6500

    I'd heard that 100Mbps Fast Ethernet was not the performance bump you'd think it was under classic Mac OS so I did some testing a while back to see what was what at least on a PCI Mac where 100Mbps Ethernet cards are not that hard to find. I used an AppleShare network speed testing tool I...

    Realtek RTL8139D PCI Network Card Compatible with a PowerMac 6500?

    This should work in any Mac with a PCI slot: https://www.ebay.com/itm/183693476592 (I have one I've used in a 6500) Mac drivers here (I don't believe any of the Apple distributed Ethernet drivers (extensions) support this Ethernet chipset)...

    New Battery

    I just found out about this company, Rome Tech Batteries, that makes new PRAM batteries for old computers, somewhat oddly (since they have ones for the 500 series, 1400, etc.) I don't see one for the 190/5300... I guess someone could ask them...

    Release of MacIPRpi 6.02

    You're welcome. I have two more for you though :) It was bugging me that under the Version section Processor showed "undefined", I googled around it appears that Bookworm broke the way this was being queried under Buster. I found a different command that works on both...

    Release of MacIPRpi 6.02

    I think this is the relevant section: It looks like it is trying to send a postscript job to the Imagewriter. Could likely be working (not that I know how you'd test!) # Function: Print Page (Send Real Print Job) print_page() { echo -e "${BRIGHT_CYAN}Sending Test Print to Available...
