Thanks! Hopefully it will clear up confusion for people trying to do it these many years later... After all, it's the cheapest way I've seen so far to connect old macs to the internet.

A topic (that is currently pinned) exists with a tutorial for connecting your Macintosh to the internet using USB -> serial, but it is very outdated and I ran into several issues while following it. I'm going to add further instruction to it (which is mostly copied from a reply to a thread I...

i could live with 3.2 spec, but I'm still not aware of one like that.

Looking for the following browser (if such a thing even exists). Marked with * is required: Supports HTML 4.0 spec (this is a must.. At least needs <FRAME>) * Supports at least some CSS Bookmarks, homepage, etc Supports opening local HTML documents * Supports at least 6.0.8...

Did you make this?

Ah so it's really that simple? Just sign up when the next runs? April sounds good... Should be ready by then to start my "project" ;)

Who can tell me all the little details about the RetroChallenge? Is it basically to choose a project and try to finish it within the month while keeping updates? When might the next one be?

Glad to hear that the floppy works again! Sometimes it is just the simplest connections that make the difference. Does the hard drive still spin up? Maybe it's stuck...

Oh boy! Sad to look at the pics :( My PB160 is just fine still, and has been exposed to lots of humidity before (once causing an issue with the screen as well). I did see one on E-Bay a while back (long long while back) that had the same issue... I believe the seller said something about...

In my personal opinion, every classic mac is worth saving (unless it has serious battery corrosion beyond repair). Look up some tutorials on youtube on how to clean the floppy drive; that would be my first guess. You may also have bumped something while fiddling with the hard drive, so double...

AlpineRaven: Do you have a suggestion/source for an indoor UV lamp? I can't seem to find one that would fit the purpose that isn't outrageously expensive.

luckybob: My plan is like yours; no plastic wrap and keep applying. By reading some failure stories, it seems the common point is the plastic wrap with an uneven coating.

Thanks for all the info! Very interesting about the emblem. Didn't know it was assembled that way :) I believe I will try not using the developer method on the keys, since it will still be just as easy. Using the developer on the case is much easier though. I have read many horror stories...

While most people would just stick to OS9, I've been quite happy with OS X 10.2. 10.4 will run on it, but it is sluggish. The advantage to upgrading is obviously the software benefits, but I wouldn't recommend doing that unless you also had an OS9 installation. My G3 has OS9 and 10.2 installed...

This coming summer, I will be doing a Retr0Bright treatment on my Macintosh Classic and Plus, including keyboard/mouse. I've got a few questions on methods, so I can end up with the best possible results. -Should I remove the little apple emblem on the front? If so, how do I re-attach it when...

Surprised it still works. Technology isn't made like it used to be... I've had many 40gb/60gb drives die, desktop and laptop, but so far all the drives from my classic macs are still working! Labels also indicate that they are original (1980s/90s).

Got this a couple days ago for $40 off craigslist. I'm convinced that I'm ending up with all of the classic macs in NH. Pretty good condition, needs a retr0brite treatment (which I will do come summer), but fully functional. 4mb upgraded, completely functional 20SC HD, keyboard and aftermaket...

I can confirm this. 502 Bad gateway error when visiting the wiki or the rules link.
