    Mac-a-Mug Pro, from Shaherazam (1986-87)

    Reminds me of the sliders you use to modify faces and bodies in DAZ Studio.

    ADB Keyboard Repair Advice

    (y) I bought a 5-pack on Amazon seven years ago, but I'd bet Mouser or Digi-Key would have them too. I paid $3.47 and got free shipping so it probably cost Amazon more to deliver than what they made.

    Mac-a-Mug Pro, from Shaherazam (1986-87)

    Have you tried taking the generated face and running it through one of those AI programs that turns cartoons/drawings into realistic human faces?

    Keep It Up / Keep-It-Up Classic

    Kind of a long-shot, but is anyone familiar with Keep It Up (later Keep-It-Up Classic)? It was a classic Mac utility that would relaunch crashed programs, which was good for server applications. There was later a Mac OS X version. (I only have a couple of the classic versions.) Looks like...

    Introducing (and interest check) AirTalk: Wireless plug-and-play LocalTalk dongles

    I distrust wireless but I feel like I'm going to have to get a couple of these when available.

    Newton Virus needs to be updated. :D

    I vaguely remember it.

    Virus/Malware/Ransomware Software for Older Systems?

    On some of my older systems, I had stuff like MacScan and ClamXav, which are probably no longer updated given that I think both have now gone to subscription models. Don't know if they support updating older versions anymore anyway. Anyway, the point is that I am wondering if there is anything...

    Basilisk II - Full Screen Issues

    I have a Basilisk II install using a disk image from my PowerBook. I can get it working in a window, but when I go full screen, it will crash or not start or otherwise have issues. I've tried removing all the PowerBook-related stuff, but that hasn't worked. I've tried one-by-one removing...

    System 7 Questions

    Thanks. I'll let you know. I must have them though because one or two drives in my Basilisk setup have System 7.5.5 installed and I believe those were clean installs (either straight 7.5.5 install or 7.5.3 install then upgraded to 7.5.5) as I don't have any disk images from actual hard drives...

    StuffIt 5.5 doesn't always extract .sit files fully

    After re-reading . . . Since you're getting a .DS_Store file, I bet it might have been created with a Mac OS X version of StuffIt and the classic StuffIt versions maybe don't understand it.

    StuffIt 5.5 doesn't always extract .sit files fully

    Are you using StuffIt or StuffIt Expander? Try using the opposite of what you've been using to see if it makes a difference. Or, try an older version of StuffIt Expander, like 3.x. I remember keeping multiple versions on hand because some versions could open files the others could not, and...

    Help getting started with retro software development

    As I recall, CodeWarrior was pretty much the gold standard for a period. I had (well, still have) it on my PowerMac 7500. And you definitely want ResEdit. I had a FirstClass BBS and to create icons for different forums and boards and stuff, you used ResEdit on your settings file. I did over...

    System 7 Questions

    Does anyone remember the filename of the 7.5.5 installer or upgrader? I have install disk floppies for System 7.5.3 but, in Basilisk, I have a virtual hard drive that has System 7.5.5 on it. So, I must have the installer or upgrader somewhere, but I cannot find it and variations of "7.5.5" or...

    Sound Formats?

    Thanks.  There are not a lot of these sound clips.  Right now, it's about 40 MB and that's with maybe half of them being in SND & AIFF and the rest still as SND files that need to be converted.  Most will just be for personal use.  I don't imagine I'll likely do much with them besides have...

    Sound Formats?

    I have a number of sounds (mostly short sound clips from assorted sources as well as ones I recorded myself) from the System 7 days.  Most of these are in the SND format that I think was the Mac's default format.  They worked as system sounds and double-clicking them would auto-play the sound. ...

    Troubleshooting B&W G3 - No Image

    Pretty sure mine is a Rage128.  I kind of recall seeing 128 on the board.  I don't think it fits in the three larger slots.  At least it didn't seem to line up right with them when I had it out.  I'll try again when I open it up again. I did find that I have another Rage128 card in another...

    PDF files looking horrid

    You printed them? The original Acrobat was released in 1993 and Acrobat 5 in 2001.  So, first, there wasn't widespread adoption.  Even in the late 90s, there were plenty of people that had never even heard of Acrobat.  And, screens, especially for consumers, weren't real high resolution...

    Troubleshooting B&W G3 - No Image

    Received replacement battery today.  New battery made no difference.  Still boots, still no video.  Even zapped the PRAM to be sure. The video card only fits in one slot.  I removed and inspected it.  No signs of anything leaking, no signs of anything burnt out, broken or missing.  I placed...

    Pry marks on case edges

    Sometimes it's not heat, though in this case I think it probably was.  Years ago, I had set clear fishing lures (worms) on top of a plastic case.  Then forgot about them.  Who knows how many years later and they had basically melted into the case.  That is, the worms were fine, but they left a...
