    Testers Needed: Modified ROM for LC475/Q605

    This is really neat. Unfortunately I don't have either an LC475 or Q605.

    Christmas LAN party preparation

    @sircabulon What @adespoton said. PhoneNet was invented by BMUG and commercialized by Farallon (arguably the commercial arm of BMUG) as a cheap alternative to the expensive proprietary AppleTalk cable and adapters Apple was offering at the time. It also allowed companies to use existing phone...

    Unexpected ewaste find: MicroQue PDS4/Top Hat. Quad LC PDS Adapter!

    I would be happy to lend it out to be cloned, but I'd want it back. I'm holding out hopes that I might be able to complete my Power Workstation at some point.

    Video Playback on IIci

    What about just using a Mac-to-PC adapter and connecting the monitor to a PC? Slap an emulator on it and hide the PC away, then have the Mac on the desk for show. Even with a Turbo040, the IIci is probably too slow for anything past 320x240 at 10 fps. If that even. You'd need a hardware...

    jmacz journey

    @jmacz I edited it just as you replied. You can find even larger displays on Alibaba, but they weren't much cheaper.

    jmacz journey

    @jmacz There are a few companies that make specifically larger 4:3 displays for arcades. They're a bit pricey, but not nearly as expensive as they used to be. Here's an example of a 26" display for $300...

    AOL Dialup is gone!

    Launching satellites is also expensive, especially when they're one SME away from being destroyed like what happened in 2021. It's also prohibitively expensive. $500 just to get going ($350 + $100 deposit, plus $50 to $100 shipping, then $80 to $120/mo (depending on where you live) for the...

    AOL Dialup is gone!

    If I'm ever able to afford my own place, running ethernet is at the top of my list. I'm envious of the municipal fiber options elsewhere, though. Mine is $100/mo for just internet. Elsewhere it's $70/mo or less, and not only do you get gigabit fiber, but you get local TV and landline. Some...

    AOL Dialup is gone!

    My dad worked the majority of his adult life with the 802.11 forum, specifically ethernet. :) His group tried real hard to get ethernet to be the standard for housing, automobiles, and aircraft. Back in the 1990s they were already talking about running ethernet to every home and having what we...

    AOL Dialup is gone!

    They'd likely just terminate the service. The servers I want to run aren't illegal.

    AOL Dialup is gone!

    I lucked out. AT&T ran fiber last year along the utility poles near the place I rent. So I'm in bliss with mah gigabit fiber. Only downside is that I'm hamstrung by AT&T's TOS and equipment. Even though I'm on an unshared gigabit fiber connection, they still won't let me have any servers...

    AOL Dialup is gone!

    @Snial Ironically the people who will be most affected by it are the ones who voted for it, then they'll continue voting for it every 2 and 4 years while muttering incoherent nonsense about socialism and George Soros.

    TashSync: Macintosh Video Sync Signal Converter/Generator

    How about DΒ-19? That's an uppercase Beta. Then we can all snicker every time someone calls it DB-19.

    My wife and I have adopted a 41-year-old baby named Lisa

    OK, I had nightmares about the 1973 movie. Good thing it's not an actual 41-year-old baby.

    GrandVimage Nubus Graphiccard Video problems ...

    I figured it was something like that. I have a combination of passive adapters and ones with varying amounts of dip switches. I should probably replace them all with one of these at some point: https://www.bigmessowires.com/mac-sync-inator/

    IIfx 16 MB Composite SIMM, Temperature, Power Usage, and Tinning

    I have similar SIMMs in my IIci. 4 banks of 4 MBs (2 banks per side like in your picture) for a single 16MB SIMM. I have all 8 SIMM slots filled with them. I call it the Brick o' RAM. They're hilariously big. I love 'em. :D
