That's right. The denaturing agent isn't always methanol, though, the idea is to discourage people from drinking it, not actually kill them.

I probably won't be making any hackintoshes, and I probably won't butcher my working Apple CD SC Plus for it, but wouldn't that make a splendid case? I haven't opened it or taken any measurements, but I think that's just the form factor for a modern desktop computer. Sort of like a mini, but...

I remember making .sit.hqx files on my Performa 6400 with a version of DropStuff that came with the Apple Internet Connection Kit (There are probably different versions of that CD, though). But I'd probably use MacBinary II instead. I think BinHex was mainly for Usenet, etc.

It got really annoying when .sitx arrived. Putting an X at the end of anything automatically makes it crap, Mac OS X being the exception that confirms the rule. And unlike .dmg it clutters up the desktop and you have to pay to be able to make your own archives.

The G5 has two banks of 4 slots each. One bank has odd numbered slots and the other bank has even numbered, starting at the centre and moving outwards. So DIMM0 and DIMM1 are the innermost slots and DIMM6 and DIMM7 are the outermost slots.

Too much work for a card that I don't need. I'd be happy to give it away, but I would feel bad if it turned out it doesn't work at all.

Dust comes to mind, it was quite bad after 6 years in a house with carpets on every floor and bookshelves on every wall. I used half a can of dust-off (I hear it causes memory problems when used internally xx( ) when I moved it downstairs. But the RAM was installed when it was clean out of...

One of my Mac IIs came with a portrait display card and a DB13W3 to DB15 cable. I connected it to a High Resolution RGB monitor, but it wasn't recognised by the Mac II (I had two other regular cards in it as well). I'm guessing a portrait card simply can't drive a 640*480 monitor. Is there a way...

I've been wondering lately whether there's something wrong with either my memory, or my G5's memory. It's a 1st generation 2x2 GHz machine, and it came with 512 MB of RAM preinstalled. So I bought an extra two 512 MB DIMMS and installed when I set up the machine, making a total of 1.5 GB. But...

It was interesting reading about the ADB to USB converter. But I'd be more interested in going the other way and be able to use the same keyboard to control both a modern and a 68k Mac.

Two new scanners have come up, at more reasonable prices. http://www.tradera.com/Polaroid-Sprintscan-45-Scanner-auktion_340831_114169234 http://www.tradera.com/Polaroid-Sprintscan-35-Plus-Scanner-auktion_340831_114169576 I may be out of luck with Mac OS X, though. I can't find any drivers...

Living outside the US means I'll always be paying a great deal for shipping. Either way, first order of business is testing it, the breadboard method. I can also clip a variable power supply set to 3.6V to the battery terminals. I'm also planning to recap a SCSI enclosure, then I can have a...

Nothing comes to mind. I guess most sound manipulation was done on uncompressed material back in the day because of limited processing power. Can you convert to AIFF, change the sample rate and then re-encode as MP3?

This would be very cool to have: http://www.tradera.com/Polaroid-SprintScan-4000-diascanner-filmscanner-auktion_340831_113588757 I have tons of old family pictures and slides fading away, it would be nice to get the negatives scanned before it's too late. Unfortunately the guy priced double...

What do you guys prefer? There's really a limit how big the screen can be and still be usable, depending on the desk depth. So one might be better off with two or more in a row. It seems like a lot of gamers and movie buffs use HDTVs as computer screens, which is perfect for that use, but very...

Mine will even run AppleWorks!

I have actually been wanting both lately. The G3 was, and still is a remarkable machine in terms of design and innovation. But so is the G4, and so far I have a specimen of every processor family from the 68000 to Intel except for the G4. My mother has the only G4 in the family, a PowerBook.

Illegal? Certainly. Against the rules? As far as I can tell. The abandonware sites chose to look the other way, though.

So, what's the procedure? Off the top of my head, maybe replace the HDI connector with a ribbon cable and screwing a DA-15 socket where the NuBus card would normally go?
