    Baby's first PCB

    And momentarily off topic again for a moment: Ah, a lefty! (might've already known, but I've long forgotten if so) No wonder you have so many right-minded projects! :D ;) I'm right-handed, but I can appreciate left-handedness because my mother's also a lefty. "...we now return you to our...

    Tokamac Nubus card? Need help identifying

    He left this forum a few years ago, I think. c

    Baby's first PCB

    Ouch! I'd been wondering where you've been. Now I know! c

    Dual head VidCard for DA QS & MDD Suggestions?

    Well, there are indirect solutions, since ADC is basically a fancy DVI port with Apple-specific features. So, you could, for example, convert ADC->DVI and THEN convert DVI->HDMI. Are you sure that's not DVI->ADC? There's an Apple adapter that can convert an ADC-equipped display to accept...

    Interest Check: A 'walled-garden' service

    Neat! Did you actually participate in the development of what became the Raspberry Pi, or was it basically a blatant ripoff of your board's form factor?? c

    updated firmware for new world ppc32 macs that allows booting from usb from the boot picker

    Has anyone actually tried booting System 7 on a G5?!?! I would think that the architecture of the G5 is different enough that nothing before Mac OS X will work? c

    Interest Check: A 'walled-garden' service

    It might not be feasible with what you have in mind, but maybe it would gain a wider audience if it could run on modern platforms? c

    Bitcoin Mining on Mac Classic

    @olePigeon Your Bitcoin explanation is by far one of the most sensible ones I've seen! I like it! c

    Attempting To Program Something Using LLMs With Zero Knowledge or Skill

    You may have landed on one of the relatively few genuinely helpful uses I can think of for LLMs. I'd be lying if I didn't say I wasn't just a tiny bit curious, but I'm a Luddite who looks at this newfangled technology (and the companies behind it) very distrustfully, and I don't want to give...

    Internet Radio!

    I've been working on revamping my stream, and at this point, I think I might as well just post it and hope for the best. Given the Lounge is only viewable by registered users, it ought to be safe enough as long as y'all don't go around spreading it everywhere. You can find it in the Lounge...

    Ideal upgrade path for a dual 867MHz MDD?

    Huh, OK. I'll try that. I tried the Finder from 7.6.1, and it didn't work either, probably because it's too new. c

    ATI Radeon 9600XT vs. NVIDIA GeForce4 Titanium

    I actually did! Alas, like everyone else they only go up to 4.0, which is the latest available version. After 10 years, I've pretty much lost interest in using my RTMac on anything newer than what driver 4.0 supports (I might try using it on Mac OS 9 for the novelty), but I was recently...

    ATI Radeon 9600XT vs. NVIDIA GeForce4 Titanium

    10 years later, I try searching again, thinking maybe someone would've found and posted MatroxRTMac4.1.img.sitx by now, but no! The search still leads me back here! The search continues.... c

    Ideal upgrade path for a dual 867MHz MDD?

    I tried booting System 7.1.2 om my Pismo today. To my amazement, it actually did boot, but the Finder won't load, so it's not very useful. But it basically works, so the Finder is probably fixable! c

    Headless trayloader iMac - audio issues - faulty board?

    It would be! When that article was written (not sure when, but probably early-mid 2000s), 3D printing wasn't available, but now it is, so a custom LC-style case could conceivably be created from scratch without sacrificing an existing machine, as the writer of the article did. I don't have the...

    Headless trayloader iMac - audio issues - faulty board?

    I remember reading an article years ago about an iMac ATX conversion that was hacked into a Mac II enclosure. Do you have similar plans (putting the thing into a pretty and tidy box, basically) or do you intend to leave it bare for testing and experimentation? c

    iBook G3 Clamshell vinegar syndrome

    That stinks! I may have a 366 MHz iBook motherboard somewhere, but the connector for the display backlight is broken with a torn up trace or two. I suppose if that could be repaired, it could work (it was fine otherwise, and I could see normal things when I shined a flashlight at the display)...

    Backporting HFS+ to Mac OS 8.0 and earlier

    Ah, I see. Well, at least it's interesting (especially in the early years, Apple had some pretty whimsical naming practices). I don't find the industry's current naming conventions to be particularly exciting. I've heard that term ("giblets") used to describe random leftover turkey innards...

    Backporting HFS+ to Mac OS 8.0 and earlier

    I think 'gbly's are basically the designated resource type for system enablers. Why Apple chose 'gbly' is beyond me, however. How does one go about creating an enabler? Can one simply take an existing one, strip it of any unneeded resources, copy in the HFS+ stuff in the right places, and...
