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.

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.

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...

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...

Probably a long shot but anyone have a Umax SuperMac c600 (any config) they might want to part with? I have a 1MB inline cache board that wants to be reunited with one! (tested good in my c500, but can't leave it in there for mechanical reasons)

The Power Macintosh 6500/250 I picked up a while back on eBay seemed to work okay except it made a horribly loud grinding noise. I was sure it must be a bad power supply fan. But when I tried the logic board in a different 6400 chassis the sound went with the logic board, it seemed crazy but the...

I was fortunate enough to pick up a Daystar PowerCache Quadra and have just started to dig into it. I've long wondered if L2 Cache would improve performance on 68040 machines as much as it does for 68040 and PPC ones. From the above linked archived data sheet: FastCache Quadra 128K Static RAM...

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...

I just picked up a Power Macintosh 6500/250 in pretty good shape but missing its back panel subwoofer volume knob. Anyone know if there is a 3D printed part for this out there?

I’ve previously used a 3 AAA battery holder to replace the dead Rayovac 4.5v “Computer Clock Battery” in a couple of my Macs. After some chat discussions I thought I’d try something different for my Performa 575, especially after noticing that in the Macintosh LC 520/550/575 Service Source doc...

I've got two PowerBook 540c (one with a Newer 117 PPC upgrade!) with the same problem, their "plastic retainer bar" that secures their Daughterboard EMI shields are broken. This means the heat sink on the shield doesn't make the best contact with the CPU since the two middle screws aren't able...

I thought I'd post some pictures of the UMAX SuperMac C series CacheDoubler card I got off eBay not too long ago, there doesn't seem to be many pictures out there. The CacheDoubler has 1MB of "inline" cache running at 80Mhz, double the logic board bus speed that L2 cache installed there runs at...

*** Originally posted 5/31/2021, reposting due to outage. Thankfully the text was in Bing Cache. *** The PowerBook AC Adapter (M1893) I got off eBay worked for about 2 days, at least I now know the "sold for parts" PowerBook 540c I got earlier works (and came with a 32MB RAM card!) Getting out...

Reposting from archive.org, thanks @SuperSVGA (https://68kmla.org/bb/index.php?threads/2021-07-05-site-is-back-migrated-to-xenforo.38350/post-415052) I haven't been able to find much in the way of re-capping info for the power supply for the Quadra 630, LC 630, Performa 630 series machines so...

My G4 Mac mini's superdrive seems to be on its last legs (CDR burns failing, weird noises...). Anyone have any hints on how to look for a replacement (CD-RW, combo or superdrive, DVDs aren't that important to me). Know any OEM model numbers? Seems like finding a non-Apple labeled model might be...

I took the plunge and picked up a a working PowerBook 2400c/180 of Ebay recently. Any tips on what to check, what to do to keep it functioning? Capacitors an issue?

So I’m thinking I got nice bonus with a rev 2 beige G3 motherboard I picked off eBay. Can anyone confirm if this Orange Micro FireWire/USB PCI card is the one that will work in my Performa 6360?
