    Macintosh IIsi Retrobrite Method?

    Immersion will be just fine on the IIsi. I did my IIsi and didn't see anything flake off. I had it all documented, but sadly, it was lost in the forum crash.

    New preview of Classic 68k Mac utility - standalone HTTP file downloader

    I think it's for downloading stuff! Give it an HTTP link to a .SIT file or whatever, and it will download it?

    Wow, nice work! I am looking forward to giving this a try! Edit: After looking a bit more closely, this appears to have been developed by @LuigiThirty?

    PB 1[4-8][0,5]c? Li-ion Battery

    Hey @sutekh, could the electronics on the battery pack behave a bit more like the original battery if you did a run of custom PCB's? I did a run of them for a conference badge last spring, and found it to be pretty straightforward. I'm not sure if that would get all of the functionality you want...

    PB 1[4-8][0,5]c? Li-ion Battery

    Agree, things don't seem to get much traction in hacks. This is very specific to PowerBooks, so I think it makes sense for it to live here.

    I was wrong. So, so wrong!

    Don't use 16V SOLID Tantalum on SE/30 Motherboards

    Hrm... I've recapped quite a few boards with 16v tantalum caps. I'm worried that trying to desolder them with an iron will be riskier than just running them. Has anyone seen a 16v tantalum cap on an SE/30 fail?

    RaSCSI Development Thread

    Hey everyone, I have been pretty busy and haven't been keeping up with RaSCSI development, but you might remember that I was interested in designing some cases. I have a small Etsy shop selling SCSI2SD brackets and ROM clips, and I think I'd like to expand the shop a bit. Any interest in a...

    IIci find in Hilton Head, SC - anyone local to help out?

    Good news, @sclements made the 8 hour drive yesterday and got it! I'll bet he will post an update.

    IIci find in Hilton Head, SC - anyone local to help out?

    Watch out for this "sclements" guy. Totally shady. He keeps mailing me SE and SE/30 Ethernet cards for no reason at all, and I know there's a catch somewhere! But seriously, Sam is a super good friend of mine, and a hoarder caretaker of vintage Macs. If you live anywhere near Hilton Head, SC...

    Sony PVM-14N5U

    The paint on the metal shield was pretty scratched up, so I decided to pull it off, sand it with 320 grit sandpaper, 600 grit sandpaper, and paint with an all-purpose spray paint. I think it came out pretty good. Darker than I intended.

    Sony PVM-14N5U

    It's here! As planned, I'm running S-Video from my analog consoles > S-Video switch > Pass through PVM > RetroTINK 2X > LCD TV. There might be a teeny tiny loss of quality by the time it hits the LCD but I am not sure. That's about 6 * 3 = 18 feet of cable before it terminates, so...
