    Where is the crystal oscillator located on the PowerBook Duos?

    I've done a ton of searching online and all I find are text explanations about being able to clock chip the 210/230 and 280 (I have a 230 and a 280), but nothing about where it's located on the board. Also, does anyone know if this affects Dock function? I could just put a socket on it, but I...

    PowerBook Duo modem alternative cards?

    Yeah, I’ve seen the Newer micro dock with Ethernet being the closest thing to having it on board. SuperMac also made a mini dock under their E-Machines brand that had Ethernet instead of a modem pass through. Do you know if Newer ever released the PC Card dock?

    PowerBook Duo modem alternative cards?

    Does anyone know if alternatives were made for the modem slot on Duos? I have a 230 that just has the blanking card, a 280 with a modem, and I know there’s an alternative modem for international Duos. Did anyone create additional serial port or Ethernet port for that slot?

    Hypercard Programing

    That's what Apple used for their mouse practise thing that came with my IIsi, I remember it being in 2-bit even on my 256 gray screen (all my grandma could afford, even though I wanted a colour Iici). I remember it being about underwater, which felt weird,

    Hypercard Programing

    HyperCard didn’t have sprite animation, though. You could use QuickTime images to fake animation like Myst or Prince Interactive did. Not that Apple ever made making games easy on any of their platforms. HyperCard’s scripting language was used as the basis for AppleScript, which is still...

    Help with ADC and AGP chicanery

    I upgraded my 2003 MDD with a new ATX power supply since the old Bell module was A: noisy AF, and B: dying. Because the new power supply doesn't (I've been told) supply ADC power, I can't get video on my OEM Radeon 9000 Pro ATI card. I'm using the DVI port and not the ADC port. Is there a way...

    Performa/LC/Quadra 630 / 6200

    The ROM and cache are a single card on the 6200. The 6200 is basically a 605/630 with a built-in PPC upgrade card. The startup chime is even the same as the upgrade card ROM.

    ROM Memory/Address Space in PCI Power Macs?

    I just read through the 7500/8500 Developer Note and the more I learn about 90's Apple, the less I understand WTF was going on there. The 7500/8500 are the same logic board (as with their later incarnations), but things change depending on if a 601 is installed or if a later processor is...

    I love that case model. It looks like architecture to me.

    NuBus Audio cards for 68k 8.1?

    My main 68k machine is a Duo 280 in a dock, and it has crappy audio. Not that I'm going to be playing music or videos on it, but for a Quadra-class machine it's got poor audio (22khz mono!) I'm looking for something that has RCA or mini-din plugs, but I've seen one that uses TOS, but I want to...

    LC/LCII Power Supply Replacements?

    I want it to be electrically safe, and I'd like it to be contained inside the LC. That's about all I care about.

    LC/LCII Power Supply Replacements?

    If it's just making a harness to connect the new supply to the board, I think I can do that. I replaced my MDD power supply with an ATX one that way. I don't mind taking things apart to scavenge parts, either. I have a soldering iron, but I'm 44 and literally never soldered anything. Don't...

    LC/LCII Power Supply Replacements?

    I have an LC and and LCII, and both have dead power supplies. To my understanding, they're known for failing. Has anyone made replacements for these, or can recommend a refurbishing service?

    Performa/LC/Quadra 630 / 6200

    I had a P6205, and when Apple fixed the ROMs on these machines, it disables the cache. I dunno if third-party caches got around that, but I know my computer went from not being so great to being slower than the Quadra I replaced it with.

    Powerbook floppy to desktop connector

    Are you asking about an internal PowerBook floppy or the external HDI-20 floppy? External HDI-20 floppies are really plentiful because they were used on Duos, and it would be easier to adapt. This is the pinout of the 20-pin connector. And here is the pinout of the HDI-20 floppy. You could...
