    Subwoofer to pair with AppleDesign Powered Speakers I

    I went down this exact same rabbit hole a couple years ago via eBay and couldn't find a Platinum-esque subwoofer I was willing to pay the price for, I only wanted to pay something under ~$30. There was at least one model by "Advent" that I had my eye on, I think it might have been "Advent...

    Coolest 68k Powerbooks to own?

    My 180 is tunnel vision-free! Yes siree, absolutely perfect! ...now I don't turn it on for more than 2 minutes at a time but I see no reason to believe that it is anything but perfect! (Lego Movie Unikitty voice: "is this working?")

    Installation media or image for Powerbook 540c with PPC upgrade

    I have the NewerTeck 117MHz PPC upgrade (that comes with 8MB RAM) not the Apple original but I found this on Macintosh Garden: https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/macintosh-powerbook-powerpc-upgrade-the-powerbook-500-series-computer which appears to be a CD that Apple shipped with their PB 500...

    Installation media or image for Powerbook 540c with PPC upgrade

    With the PPC upgrade card I think the Gestalt ID might change. The programers of that Lind utility maybe didn't account for that? You should be able to use this to override Gestalt ID so your 540c PPC show up to the system as a standard 540c: https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/mac-identifier-v22

    How does the upscaling work for the Apple TV Tuner Card?

    Some info on this general topic in the LC/Quadra 630 Developer note: e.g, Page 17: "The display memory contains three separate frame buffers. The first frame buffer holds the graphics data—the display that is generated by the computer. The other two frame buffers hold video data from the video...

    Cloning the Farallon MacRecorder

    Curious, does that mean for stereo it would need to connect to two serial ports (like two physical MacRecorders would to do stereo), or is there someway the serial outputs could be interleaved? ...although I suppose then it wouldn't work with the MacRecorder drivers...

    Color Classic - can you set the year beyond 2019?

    Why no SE/30 L2 Cache Card?

    I remember reading somewhere that it has to do with the Iici having an cache controller (implemented somewhere on the logic board) and ROM that understands how to use a cache card, where the SE/30 does not. There were cache cards for the IIsi but I think that is because it shares the same cache...

    BlueSCSI problem, is it HW or user error?

    My experience has been that for images that show up in the log as ok, tools like SCSI probe see the hard disk and display something like "BlueSCSI device..." and the image "HD" size, even if the image isn't bootable... Random thought, could you be using a SCSI ID for your image(s) that is in use...

    Interesting Mac Classic Upgrade to 4 MB without using RAM expansion card

    Seems kinda like the IIsi mod to put 4MB on the logic board (instead of the stock 1MB). In Adrian's specific case I believe he had stolen a logic board IC that is needed to support the expansion card to fix another board.

    Reverse Engineer the PowerKey by Sophisticated Circuits?

    I have one of these too, also without the cable... I did get the manual with mine, not that it has anything like a cable pinout in it. It does show what the cable looked like. It's a Y-Cable, male ABD for your Mac with a short female ADB for your keyboard and a longer "SCI" cable to the PoweKey...

    ImageWriter LQ Ribbons?

    I know you can still get regular ImageWriter/ImageWriter II black ribbons but see conflicting info on whether that is the case for ImageWriter LQ black ribbons? Seems like some folks say there is an C.Itoh (and/or Epson) printer(s) that used the same ribbon but can't find those models if they...

    APS 5pin mini-din power brick replacement?

    I do! ...and recall spending a lot of time figuring out a power supply for it. I don't recall where I purchased it but here's picture of the label with the specs and importantly the connector pin-out. I have vague memoir of find ones online that looked all good except one of the 5 pins was off.
