Wow, just stumbled across this thread today - never heard of M.A.C.E before but it looks really cool! I knew of the Reclassification project, but that's been dormant on GitHub for a while and was never beyond planning / alpha-quality. It's great to see such great progress in this area! My...

I am the maintainer of the HyperCard Online project, and over the past three years have got over 3,500 stacks running online in the browser (thanks to hosting and help from the Internet Archive). I've built an online uploader for anyone to add their own stacks to the collection - if you find...

Not really - the rollers are inside the rear flap of the LaserWriter, so it's not exactly a very photo friendly place! The printer's also in storage at the moment, but from memory, I used thick-ish foam double sided sticky tape, and stuck the rubber band to one side of it, before carefully...

I'm glad there's more of us! ArmorAlley - you'll know this from reading the thread, but you should open the hinged door at the side of the printer with the manual feed input, and see what condition your rollers are in. My LaserWriter upgraded to Plus had them go all sticky, and my Plus had them...

I think the "if there's enough demand" might be an issue here. While there are quite a few people with IWIIs and a fair demand for the DB19 (not just from 68k macs), the number of people with original LWs/LW pluses, or the original LaserJet/whatever the Canon machine was that took these, is...

I've not had much luck with NOS unsealed toner for my other laserwriters, so I've always been reluctant to spend the higher prices on the 92285A. The picture you posted is of the separation belt - the small plastic strip with the spring on the end. There's a little bit of info on this in the...

Odd about it not showing up, I've got both of mine (Plus and original-upgraded-Plus) to show under the original LaserWriter drive, and the "LaserWriter 8" driver. The jams caused when using the paper tray are caused by the degrading of the paper pickup rollers. I've had two variations of this...

I also think mine was upgraded, or more likely was bought as the Plus model, as the manual I have for it is the "LaserWriter and LaserWriter Plus" one. (I've actually never seen a manual just for the original LW.) Taping rubber bands on did actually work for a bit, at least until the tape...

I have a LaserWriter Plus that is in "semi-working" condition, so I thought I'd list the faults mine has. The rubber on the paper pickup rollers has deteriorated into sticky gloop which means it usually doesn't pickup paper from the tray any more - so you might want to have a look at yours to...

Thanks @olePigeon, I didn't realise you had already shared it! I've run it through HyperCard Online (one of my little side-projects) and so it is up now on the Internet Archive and can be run directly in the browser. It is actually a really useful little stack for debugging issues like sad mac...

Oh wow! I'd *love* to get a copy of that SupportTools disk and HyperCard stack for my ever-growing online emulated collection (now nearly 3,500 stacks). Any chance you could make an image of that disk and send it to me?

The nice thing about that eMac is that it is a later revision, so supports up to 2GB of RAM (the older 800Mhz ones only support 1GB). These things are a pain to do any serious upgrades to, but the RAM is very easy to upgrade (just a panel on the base).

As far as I know, you can actually still download apps for iOS 4.1 even if they've been updated to only work with higher operating systems. (I've done this many times with an iPod touch 4th gen in iOS 6). This assumes, of course, that the app did once have a iOS 4.1 version published on the App...

OK, I've connected the hard drive to a PSU and powered up. Unfortunately nothing happens (can't hear the drive spin up at all). However, the fan speed of the PSU does decrease, which it also happens if a normal IDE hard drive is connected. Do you think it's safe to test in a Mac?

I don't think it is from a HD20, as I've looked it up online and from what I can see it is a 210MB hard drive, so would not be from a HD20.

Hello, In school two days ago, I noticed something unexpected on my computing teacher's desk. Closer inspection revealed it to be an old Rodime hard drive. I spoke to my teacher and he agreed I could borrow the drive to see if it worked, and if there was any data on it. I took it back home, but...

All the settings are the same on both machines. As I said, it works perfectly for some data rates, and doesn't for others, leading me to think that the other settings are correct. I'll try and upload some screenshots today.

Hi, I have a Macintosh Classic II connected with a Keyspan USB to Serial adapter to a Raspberry Pi running Basilisk II. I have ZTerm running on both of the machines, and am just trying out some communication stuff. I found that when the data rate (under Settings->Connection) is set to 300...

Hi, Would it be possible to create a USB device that emulates the serial connections of a Mac Plus (or higher), so that it would work for serial devices and LocalTalk? See this thread for more information, basically I am trying to connect actual devices to an emulated mac using Mini vMac. A...
