    No hard drive on Classic II: can I lower fan rpm/flow? experiences?

    long story short: replacing a fan with a low noise one will reduce the cooling ability, assuming the original fan is not worn out or producing excessive noise. Is it?

    No hard drive on Classic II: can I lower fan rpm/flow? experiences?

    I have heard comments that the noctua fans are indeed silent but the RPM is low, and as such they can not extract as much heat as the more noisy one, resulting essentially useless. Any comments with experience to share?

    Macintosh IIci

    I successfully completed the ATX conversion. I connected the fan and the relay for the 230VAC for the monitor. To reverse the PS-ON I used a NPN. To avoid a larger PCB I inserted the resistors in the wires protected by the heat shrink insulators. The NPN transistor is connected to the 3 wires...

    Reverse Engineering the Color Classic AB

    correct @pizzigri , the model is 820-0360-B, I just added it to the README. Replacing the PS is IMO already doable from the kicad file or from the dxf, but it's outside of my comfort zone due to lack of competences, I just did some donkey work

    AFP from a Synology NAS

    I have enabled AFP back in the Synology(*) Initially all the files in the shared folder were sit archives, or hqx or disk images. By chance I expanded a sit file in the shared folder from a connected Mac and to my surprise data and resource forks were preserved. I can leave the uncompressed...

    Macintosh Portable is suddenly flaky / unstable, not sure what's up

    Mm, you can consider to lay some metallic/aluminum tape inside along the entire diagonal, covering the crack and more to give it more strength. Glueing a thin sheet of metal or plastic can also help, still I can not recall how much space you have. The pros is that it's invisible and it preserves...

    Macintosh SE/30 with a VDR-2a video card!

    Congratulations, it's great machine. The "made in France" sticker (of course it was not) and the french flag in the desktop make it all a bit weird, I could guess the previous owner was a french guy/lady leaving in Japan

    Zapping PRAM

    yes, but instead of cycling x times option-command-pr, just switch off the battery and restart.

    Zapping PRAM

    Since it seems a recurring issue with some Mac, why not hacking the battery holder and adding a switch, accessibile from outside, that disconnects the battery?

    Macintosh IIci

    Thank, for the IIsi can be tricky because an ATX does not fit in, not even a SFX.

    Macintosh IIci

    got it guys, tks @joshc , I'll go for the Seasonic SS250-SU I'll later undo the PSU of the Mac IIsi, currently with the +12V PSU + picoATX I'll try to save the filtering circuit and the relay for the monitor plug driven by the +12V, I think it does not hurt if the Seasonic has it'd owns, is it?
