    How to add EtherTalk Phase 1 Support to your Macintosh.

    I noticed that the Shiva EtherPort 4.1 (SE/30) and 2.6 (SE) drivers on the Mac Driver Museum also have support for both Phase I and II: Another neat thing -- the arrows are single versus double for the two phases! (These are Apple's icons, not Shiva's, I'm pretty sure.)

    Can anyone lend a hand configuring a Shiva FastPath 5?

    Not directly helpful perhaps, but here is some info on the FastPath 5R: FastPath® 5R Fact Sheet Description: FastPath 5R is a rack-mount version of the FastPath 5, the leading AppleTalk-to-Ethernet gateway. Available in single or dual unit configurations, the new FastPath 5R makes it easier...

    Archiving CD images using Toast 3 (1997)

    Versions of Toast earlier than 3.x don't seem to include support for saving images from a physical CD-ROM. Toast 3.5 does, however -- in a variety of formats: Of these options, at least Mac Volume and SCSI Copy result in a file readable by DiskJockey -- albeit in different ways. It's not as...

    TOPS Emulation?

    Actually PenPoint devices -- these were the brainchild of Jerry Kaplan and Mitch Kapor, chronicled in Kaplan's 1995 book Startup. People were working on it from about 87 to 93; it was actually the operating system of the first IBM ThinkPad!

    TOPS Emulation?

    There is a thread from a while back here -- initially about an obscure terminal console add-on, but eventually discussing the TOPS protocol as a whole. For reference, this is about the Transcendental Operating System -- TOPS, originally from Centram Systems West, then SUN, and then I think...

    Calling all owners of rare ADB devices!

    Would this be interesting? DataDesk with integrated trackball. The two buttons above the ball are drag (mouse button held down until pressed again) and automated double-click.

    Share your Apple Quicktake 100/150/200 Photos here!

    Here’s a question for folks who know about the QuickTake: Does the 100/150 actually make use of the increased transfer rate of the GeoPort? All of Apple’s marketing materials of the era, plus contemporary magazine reviews, mention GeoPort compatibility — and some magazine articles even seem to...

    Tales from the VCFWest Free Table: Kensington Maccessories Surge Suppressor

    ...one in an ongoing series of items grabbed from the Free Table at VCFWest this year... Between about 1984 and 1986, Kensington marketed a line of "Maccessories" designed for the 128K, 512K, and Plus. Included in this line was the "Surge Suppressor", which was color-matched to early Macs...

    Chasing down Lisa Error 52 (COP, I/O Board, etc)

    The ultimate answer here was that the momentary push-button power switch had failed - metal fatigue, judging from the loose parts I found inside the switch. This switch is supposed to momentarily interrupt a connection to the I/O board, which then triggers soft power-on. I believe my switch had...

    2MB Sony Eject Gear for Sanwa Motor

    Just a quick note based on my Sanwa cleaning experience: the (excellent) videos online covering the Omron eject motor will lead you astray regarding the direction of the "lobe" that indicates the stop of travel. The Omron motors open a circuit, while the Sanwa motors close one. Thus the lobe...

    Netatalk: changing “Workstation”

    In certain older AppleTalk network visualization software packages such as Trawl and GraceLAN, the machine type (“Macintosh SE/30“) determines what icon is used for a node on a network. By default, netatalk seems to send “Workstation”, and I’m curious if there’s a best practices way to change...

    Converting 1990s TVOD Mac video files to something current

    My go-to tool under classic MacOS is DeBabelizer, which has very powerful batch operations, and I'm sure can convert resource PICTs into either file PICTs, or something more useful such as tif/png/jpg...
