Awesome, thank you, @rabbitholecomputing !

For pre-System 6, does anyone have a patched Alarm Clock DA that allows the date to be set >2020? Would appreciate a copy if so.

Well, that's nice--I couldn't find that manual when I looked. I suggest you link it on your main site--perhaps in the resources dropdown? Right now it appears you can't get to it without the URL. Also, I suggest you encourage your vendors to link to the manual. That will definitely help...

I tried Pyro 1.0 on a Macintosh 512k/System 3.2. Pyro 1.0 includes a file that is indicated by the finder to be a Control Panel file. Dragging it into the system folder does... nothing. Would love a screensaver that is an INIT and not an app, if anyone knows of one, I'm all ears! For now, I...

Forgive me, but I'm not sure how. The Control Panel on System 3.2 is the one just after the pictogram-only control panel, and doesn't have "pages" or "sections" for things like Pyro (as would System 6):

I'd be in for that, if it had an on/off switch to allow me to choose nostalgia (or concentration). I still love the sound of my old Miniscribe. I like Disk II's, so that gives some context. That said, when real work is being done, I'd want quiet.

Thread necro... I'd like to run a screensaver on System 3.2 on a 512k. I found Pyro! 1.0, and it's suggested it works on System 1-5. I'm a System 6 guy--how do you "install" a screensaver on pre-System 6? I dropped the Pyro file in the system folder, and nothing happens. It's not an app...

Just a quick shout out for the ZuluScsi mini--I "installed" one (if that's what you can call plugging it in) on my Macintosh SE, and after a quick LIDO format of a volume, initialization, it was ready to go and I dragged over everything from my HD20 disk image. I was off to the races. Loading...

Not Macintosh's, but I have retrofitted fans to various bits of ancient tube technology over the years. Effectiveness is largely dependent upon how well you can improve convective cooling. The Kensington design is likely a good one, as it encourages more convective cooling by its placement and...

I ran a Zip 100 SCSI with System 6 as a HD back in the 90s on my Iici in college, after the internal HD died. It worked GREAT! Those disks were very reliable. That said, I think something SD-based would be more reliable nowadays, if that matters.

I recall primary sources of info back in the day (magazines, mostly) suggested that overheating was mostly related to stuffing additional components into the Plus, such as accelerators, HD's, etc. I don't ever recall the amount of RAM itself being an issue, and to be honest that doesn't add...
