    SPACEBALLS : the black ribbon -or- Fixing an ImageWriter II black ribbon

    Howdy Everyone, I've been looking, on and off, for an ImageWriter II for years. I'd found that, at least here in Canada, they have been a little harder to find in decent shape and for a fair price for some odd reason. Since my elementary school days in the 80s, spewing out ream after ream of...

    PowerBook 140 restoration

    Hi Beachycove. I'm using MpegDEC for the MP3 stream. I've attached a video of my CC Mystic loading MpegDEC, then playing the 64K/sec from Nectarine, Demoscene Radio. It's a 64K/sec stream, but on the internal speaker it sounds just fine. :) The file I drag into the player is a text file with...

    PowerBook 140 restoration

    My 68K compact machines have PDS network cards. I use the connection mostly for transferring files from my Synology NAS via FTP (easier than popping out the SD card from the ZuluSCSI). :) I have our printer (an Oki laser) shared with them.

    Cheers, Dark Systems isn't an Apple specific BBS, but the file base does have some Mac games, etc... My board actually still runs RemoteAccess (for DOS), just like I did waaay back in the early to mid 90s. :) Only now, it's in a DOS session under Windows and with a Telnet aware FOSSIL to let...
