I found a much better video about disassembly (), and can just get an ATA SSD it appears for new storage. However, the PRAM battery and recapping I still am looking for someone to do. I pinged Apple Rescue of Denver and they passed on it. Thanks for all ideas!

Wow. Thanks for that. Somehow I read the sheet 5 times and missed that fact it’s an ATA drive. I’d like to do SD because then I could image it from a more modern machine and then if I mess it up I can replace it quickly.

Hi all. Looking for anyone/anycorp that would take my 3400c and re-cap and replace the battery and as a bonus put in a ZuluSCSI Laptop RP2040 2.5" that I would send off with the item so I can have a fresh install of 7.6 on it. After viewing I know I don't have the skills or materials to make...

Thanks. I don't understand what could have been wrong, and since I was working from a Raspbian image from a few weeks ago, I just tossed it and tried https://www.macip.net/ so I could get the module bits integrated already in the image. Now I need to see if it is indeed 2.x of netatalk and how I...

Failure to get AppleTalk support built into kernel, using latest Raspbian image download. Following https://github.com/PiSCSI/piscsi/wiki/AFP-File-Sharing. Getting to this step: make -j4 Image.gz modules dtbs Shows the below. What did I miss? Using Raspberry Pi 4 Model B Rev 1.2 hardware...

Hi. I was checking out your RetroNAS work, based on a post I found at https://68kmla.org/bb/index.php?threads/yet-another-netatalk-2-2-fork.39889/page-6 and was wondering if in 2023 classic Mac folks were having success with the netatlk 2.x bits. So far, I ma unable to see the RetroNAS after a...

(now considering using a IIGS as a Mac MIDI instrument) lol Thanks!

Thanks. I was looking at getting a Roland external box to play MIDI. Appreciate the link!

I wonder why that would be. On paper, the 2.5MHz 65816 in the IIGS, the other 1986 Apple product, it less performant than a Mac+ with a 68000. Just curiosity more than anything I guess at this point. Is there a good batch MOD converter? I am now imagining using Basilisk II on a modern Windoze...

Looking for a way to play MOD and MIDI music on Mac Plus with 4mb. I found Sound Trecker, but it requires a 68020, which is weird because my Apple IIGS will play both. All pointers/formulas appreciated. I did see this...

This is amazing work. Thank you for sharing. One advantage to your work is that the parts/tech are new and don't have a history of wear and tear. When there is a way for a dopey Mac Plus owner like me to get a finished one, I'm buying. :)

Hey all. I have a Fanny Mac that is noisy (like the fan is not working well) and the switch-light flickers (like the LED is not working well). Can anyone with real hardware knowledge point me in the right direction for a replacement part or service? I opened it up and it's not a standard x-mm...

Yes, I thought 1993 was within reach. :) Maybe not. Time to look for FoxPro 2.0 maybe? :)

I installed Microsoft FoxPro 2.5b on a 4mb Mac Plus running System 7.0.1. However, it will not launch. Suggested memory size is 5,000. I set it to 2400. After double clicking the app, the Finder appears to do "something" but FoxPro does not launch. About This Macintosh says Memory 4096k, System...

Hey all. I purchased a Mac Plus keyboard, and it happened to come with a mouse and 4mb Mac Plus. :) Completely unexpected was a "MacFan" in the top of the unit. It appears that the whole thing was sitting in an attic box for a l-o-n-g time because it took a lot of strength to slide it off, and...

Hi all. Looking for info on external speakers that were made to connect to the Mac Plus/512 series. I was thinking I could find some historical info on aftermarket items that match the color and form factor, but googling for "mac plus speakers" doesn't exactly give the results I need. :) I'm...

Thank you!

Thank you! Looking now at some 3d printing stuff and painting it afterwards.

Wow, Mr. Pigeon. That is great info. Thanks! I am looking to 3d print or otherwise find a box/case to put next to the Mac to hold Floppy Emu and Raspberry Pi, want it to all look matching. Much appreciated.

What is the official color code (is that a Pantone number?) of the Mac 128/512k/Plus? Looking to 3D print a case/holder that will sit next to the Mac, and want the colors to match. I have seen it called "beige" and "putty" but wondering about the specific code for realistic match. Or is there...
