https://anserine.co/products/broadatx Hello everyone, I'm pleased to announce that my latest project, broadATX, is now available at the Anserine Machines store. broadATX is a simple, drop-in adapter for the original Macintosh II/IIx/IIfx series that adds support for ATX power supplies, no...

Good morning everyone! I’ve been working on something for the past several months and I’m ready to share it here. Introducing: beigeATX: an ATX adapter with soft power support beigeATX is not the first of its kind, but does aim to be the first that is plug n’ play. beigeATX is fully assembled...

Like the title says, I'm looking for the Mac OS installer for this SCSI external CD drive. I found one good copy on archive.org in the wayback machine but it's stripped of its resource fork to begin with, so it's functionally useless. I've tried downloading within OS9 and transferring via...

Hi everyone, I picked up this FW800 MDD for $50 thinking it only had power supply issues. I replaced the PSU with a mini ITX power supply through wiring diagrams available online, but to no avail. On boot, I get no chime, no RAM beeps, just fans at full blast after several seconds. The serial...

Hey everyone, I picked up a 512k-upgraded 128k last weekend, and I've just finished recapping everything. That part went just fine, but now that I'm ready to fine tune everything, I found the variable inductor at L2 has no plastic core or ferrite tuning slug whatsoever. While my very brief...

Hey everyone, Some years back I was given a PB520 with System 7.5.3 running on the default 4MB of RAM. It was fiendishly slow. Recently, I've been attempting to install System 7.1.1 with the appropriate 500 series enabler. The installer operates without a problem, and during the installation...

Hello all, I've had this early '05 G5 2.7 marinating for a number of years. I worked up the motivation to revive it recently, but found that the LCS had done exactly what anyone would expect. Despite my best efforts, I couldn't revive either of the CPUs. Thoroughly encrusted. Rather than try to...

I recently traded for a IIGS+AppleColor display in unknown condition. The IIGS seems fine, but the monitor is doing this. I've searched but haven't seen this specific failure mode elsewhere though I imagine these suffer from the same electrolytic fatalities as the machines themselves. What...

Hello all, I just recently got a G5 (dual CPU, 2.7, 4GB) with a few caveats. It has trouble booting, and if left to sit, the fans rev to max speed but the system doesn't boot (a red LED glows near the lower CPU as well). If forced to shutdown during this cooling frenzy and powered on again, it...

Well, not the whole UI. The pointer still responds to the trackpad, but clicking, dragging, etc do nothing. Only the pointer moves. I suspect a bad solder joint somewhere, as tapping the underside of the iBook causes the issue to surface, but I'd feel better with a second opinion before I stick...

Does anyone know of the L/W/H in centimeters? I'm 3D printing an enclosure for my Raspberry Pi and want it to look similar to this floppy drive. Thanks in advance!

This is my first conquest since, what, 4 years ago? Completely stock, 7.5.3 update excluded. No modem, but I wouldn't be able to use it anyways. A friend was planning on auctioning it at an estate sale, but knowing my hobby thought otherwise. Now, IIRC, the displays on these tend to fail...

http://columbiamo.craigslist.org/sys/3691247497.html I can't get to it, but if anyone nearby is looking for a IIGS in excellent condition, have at it.

Did the Classic originally contain screws securing the logic board to the metal chassis? I ask because mine is just sort of floating around in the metal slots. Thanks!

This listing has been popping up a few times from a University sale on my local Craigslist. Hopefully I'll be able to pay for it within a week or two, as I'm getting my first job in a few days. Anything I should know about these? I mostly plan on using it as a file server/LAN server for my...

This may sound like a vague question, but is there any way to use the composite output of a Raspberry Pi with a Macintosh Classic's CRT? I know the Classic uses TTL its display, so a custom analog board is going to be necessary. Is there any previous example of something like this being done...

Hey guys! It's been a while. I've been trying to upgrade my Classic from 6.0.3 to 6.0.8, but there's a bit of a problem: When I try to image a floppy from my PC, there isn't enough space. Just to clarify: These images were pulled from working disks that met a sad fate involving a particular...

Hello, I'm borrowing my friend's account for a second for this. I have a backup of Mac OS X Tiger (a .toast file, I copied it on a friend's Mac and to my flash drive), it works in PearPC, but when I burn it to a DVD+R, my iMac G4 will not install from it. I get to the point where it says...

I've got a Gateway with Ubuntu, a Gateway with Vista, and an MBP. I want to use a B&W G3 As a file storage/print server. Would it be suitable for these tasks? I need some type of unifier to well...Unify all my computers!

I've recently sparked an interest in the PowerMac G4'S, And have been looking in to purchasing one. However, due to the several variations of PowerMacs, I cannot decide which would be suitable for A/V processing (Final Cut Pro, iMovie, etc...) So what's your opinion on this? which would be the...
