    Infocom Games on OSX Catalina

    The easiest way by far would be Mihai's infinitemac.org. All you need is a browser, and modern ones are still available for Catalina. You can even save your progress to a hard disk that is stored in your browser.

    A trash can.... Mac :)

    They tend to cook their GPUs, because of the quiet fan algorithm. Particularly the D500/D700 models, I would avoid those. Get the entry level model, upgrade the CPU and RAM, use a third party fan app to keep the GPUs a little cooler. My eight core / D300 / 64 GB feels as fast as a much newer...

    Suggestions for an LCD display for my Quadra 800

    Aaaa but the motion sensor and compass should be circles, and they're not because 1280x1024 is the one retro resolution that isn't 4:3 :C

    Booting Mac OS 8.6 on 1st Gen Clamshell iBooks (Model # M2453)

    I also have a tangerine that shuts down immediately on booting 8.6, likely due to the updated ROM. I think at least one blueberry here can boot 8.6, is it worth potentially sacrificing a clamshell to the flashrom cause :)

    Performa 630 newbie questions

    The 630 is a 68LC040. I don't think SpeedDoubler would help much!

    Performa 630 newbie questions

    quokkadb is another way to get USB keyboard/mouse working :) I have a CF/IDE in my 640, and dual boot between 7.5.x and 8.1. The two SIMM 630 (like my 640) can go to 52 MB: 32 + 16 + 4

    Netatalk 4.0 - Future-proofing Apple File Sharing

    Native extended attributes are the best, easiest way to lose data when you back up files. Will there still be a way to disable this in 4.0?

    Which side of OH are you on? I have some parts and experience with those (extremely flakey) motherboards here in Pittsburgh.

    Tips for Upgrading a Mac mini G4 for Mac OS 9 Use

    Even with USB audio, the audio doesn't work well. There is no volume control, so you have to use a volume control on the speakers, and hope that the USB device outputs high enough level. Mine doesn't quite, so I have to turn the powered speakers way up to like 3/4 to hear it, where on a normal...

    How does the upscaling work for the Apple TV Tuner Card?

    I'd look forward to your demo, but I only have a 630, not a 5200. So you'll have to upload a video of it!

    How does the upscaling work for the Apple TV Tuner Card?

    Marathon Infinity can use the Valkyrie to upscale a low res render to full screen, and the source code is available so you can look and see how it does it: http://infinitysource.bungie.org/

    New LC owner questions: display, PSU

    LC needs a VRAM upgrade to do 256 on a 640x480. Sadly, the upgrade makes its slow video even slower :(

    I bought a repaired 68040RC40 from Herb Johnson. I don't know who he got to repair it, but there is someone out there who is able to do it.

    Radeon 7000 Flashing Woes

    I am not sitting in front of that machine right now, but yes I believe "Open ROM" is the wrong choice. Check the menus for something that offers to install a ROM into Multi Flasher. Once you do it you'll get two file pickers, and maybe also a warning dialog.

    Radeon 7000 Flashing Woes

    The Graphiccelerator UI is confusing. You need to pick a menu item to install the ROM, not open multiflasher. So double check that you’re actually getting the rom loaded into Multiflashsr

    Radeon 7000 Flashing Woes

    I have flashed two with Multiflasher on a G5 running Mac OS X. One a 32 MB PC card that already had a 128K rom chip, another one of those 64 MB ones that are on ebay for $25 or so. I had to put a bigger ROM chip on that last one, I got the part number from bbraun's radeon 7000 page.
