    MiniScribe 20MB Apple 20SC HD

    I'm struggling to find MicroNet utility. I found this one https://www.macintoshrepository.org/23912-micronet but it's not the right one or I don't understand how to use it :(

    New SE and Miniscribe deep-dive

    I can't get it to work, what am I missing? The Mac doesn't look at it as an application at all, it tries to fins an application to open it as a document

    MiniScribe 20MB Apple 20SC HD

    It's odd, I've tried low formatting with FWB hard disk toolkit, it gives me an error (not specified). Quick format works fine and no bad sectors found, and once mounted it works just fine, I can write and run apps from there, and everything works normally. It's just when the drive initializes...

    MiniScribe 20MB Apple 20SC HD

    Good afternoon (for me), I decided to write this thread apart from the other one about this device because I don't want to divert the attention from the main thread. So to put you in situation, I have a Macintosh Plus with an Apple 20SC HD that originally came with a 20MB MiniScribe drive. I...

    New SE and Miniscribe deep-dive

    I have the exact same problem, when turning on it keeps making this click-click forward-backward noise for a couple minutes, and then stops. I've been able to format and even read and write succesfully using Silverlining, but won't mount without it, so I can't boot from it. Did you solve something?

    PowerBook 540c hinge restoration: SUCCESS!!!

    I couldn't say for sure, as I don't have this model in particular. As far as I can see looking for pictures online I think it might

    PowerBook 540c hinge restoration: SUCCESS!!!

    Finally I got Loctite 401 and glued the clip to the center cover. I left 24h before mounting and it looks very solid. It came in with a very satisfying click noise and stays in place properly. I printed it with a 0.2mm nozzle and set layer height at 0.1mm to achieve better resolution.

    PowerBook 540c hinge restoration: SUCCESS!!!

    I wouldn't mind printing these for free and just charge the shipping, but I'm afraid it will cost more and for sure take longer for you than if you print it locally. Besides, it's more ecofriendly

    PowerBook 540c hinge restoration: SUCCESS!!!

    There are several 3D printing shops, at least in my city, where you can go and they'll print it for you. But if you think you can make use of it, don't doubt and go for it. It's the best inversion I'd done in a very long time, it had paid itself several times.

    PowerBook 160 help (broken hinge mount)

    I've made a 3D printed hinge fix for both PB100 series and PB500 series. It was all posted in an another thread, I leave the link here:

    PowerBook 540c hinge restoration: SUCCESS!!!

    Finally, I finished the PB 100 series hinge fix. This one has been a little more tricky than the 500 series by some reasons, and I had to reprint it a few times to correct a couple issues. Some considerations: -Unlike the 500 series, the backpanel of the display isn't flat. This makes glueing...

    PowerBook 540c hinge restoration: SUCCESS!!!

    Update on the PB100 fix project, I've just finished the first attempt. I'll print during night and see if it fits. I alreasy glued the threads on my 170, I didn't remember. It's a question of time that I have to to it anyway, so I think I will remove all threads and test if the 3D printed fix...

    PowerBook 540c hinge restoration: SUCCESS!!!

    Yes, I'm digging in the Henkel and Ceys sites and it seems cyanoacrylate has slightly better resistance than epoxy. Thanks for the input!

    Multiplayer games over localtalk?

    Thank you all, I think I'll have an entertaining afternoon when I get home :) Pararena seems the kind of game I'm looking for. I have a PPC, an upgraded PowerBook 540c, and then an iBook clamshell and a Wallstreet PowerBook, playing those 68K/PPC games on a G3 often give some issues, and it...

    Multiplayer games over localtalk?

    Totally forgot about SuperMazeWars! Didn't know it had AppleTalk support though. I wanted to play it in a Portable, anyway I'll give it a look, I like FPS nowadays. Specre Supreme seems cool, thanks!

    Mac Plus keyboard with poor connection

    Are you sure both cables are specific for the Mac Plus? @trag is right here, you could damage both thing as wiring differs from a standard phone cord (Apple things). I can get a picture of my Mac Plus cable when I get home for you to compare
