I got some big, clear plastic tubs and filled them with water and a few big glugs of 20% peroxide (I wasn't that scientific). I immersed my plastic parts in the tubs completely, and then covered the tubs. I then sat the tubs out in the Australian sun all day - although the clouds unfortunately...

I spent years trying to get my Daystar Turbo to work alongside an ethernet card. I tried every possible software combination, I recapped everything and even built a new power supply - all to no avail. In a last-ditch attempt, I recently splurged on a DiiMo 50mz 68030 accelerator from Japan...

Not wanting to hijack this thread, but look what just arrived in the mail for me: I think I got the last of the DiiMo's from Yahoo Japan - at significant expense! I'm excited to try it out tonight, which will hopefully resolve my long-standing issue of not being able to run a Turbo040 along...

There's definitely pros and cons of both methods. I think for a novice like me, wiring the soft power would have been easier and less scary. I guess I'm just paranoid! Although I was wondering how hard it would be to get the soft power running to the power key on the keyboard?!?

@Crutch your solution of wiring the soft power of the Seasonic to the original switch is very elegant - I wish I had of read your post in more detail before I did my upgrade! My Mac works great with the new PSU, but alas I still can't get my Daystar and Ethernet cards to work at the same time -...

@JDW your YouTube video really helped me and was very entertaining. However, as a novice solderer myself, I was sweating bullets when soldering the high-voltage wiring to the PSU. When you also consider the wiring for the rocker switch, there's a lot of wires to deal with in close proximity -...

Incredible work so far. Great job.

Thanks everyone for your collective knowledge on this project. Here is my attempt: Voltages all look perfect, but tomorrow I'll try the smoke test in my Mac! I soldered directly onto the outer pins of the power socket on the Seasonic to prevent opening it up - and then I just glued the...

There's some Linux DaynaPort driver code floating around online if that helps: https://github.com/dmgerman/original/blob/master/drivers/net/daynaport.c Good luck.

Perhaps the Basilisk II source might help? Here is the ethernet driver: https://github.com/cebix/macemu/blob/master/BasiliskII/src/ether.cpp

Thanks @joethezombie  :p  Check this out, Daniel Ek, CEO of Spotify retweeted my project! (via Steve, who wrote the PICT code I used in the app): There's my 15 minutes of fame right there :D  

I created 2 separate GitHub projects for the OAuth stuff: The server API & login page is written in .NET Core 2: https://github.com/antscode/MacAuth . This is what's hosted on 68k.io.  A C++ client library for the Macintosh Toolbox: https://github.com/antscode/MacAuthLib. This is what...

Hi all, I built a Spotify player for my Macintosh SE/30: The app is called MacPlayer and works thanks to the magic of Spotify Connect. The speaker itself streams and plays the music, and the Mac simply tells the speaker which song to play (as well as volume, current playlist, shuffle mode and...

@razo what you said is correct. I wouldn't mess around trying to source an old router since you already have a Vonets card - just make sure you select 10mb/half duplex in the Vonets setup (although it could be full duplex on your Asante card)

Even with a hypothetical new version of iCab, in order to make web browsing on a vintage Mac possible you're going to need: An external HTTP to HTTPS proxy - since most of the web is now TLS encrypted with complex ciphers (even a 68040 doesn't stand a chance decrypting a ECDHE cipher before the...

Sorry I forgot to attach it to my original post. Below is a link to download the template for the Wifi Antenna Bracket (I couldn't upload it to this thread for some reason): https://1drv.ms/b/s!Ak8iQs7xV3NBkbEo7qfAaEldnq4agQ

Thanks for sharing this, it's good to know I'm not the only one with this issue!

Yeah I've had it sitting in a box for months now, along with all the parts to make the cable assembly! I've just had zero time to put it all together :( I'll try and find the time in the next few weeks.

@razo sorry I should have been more specific. I've listed the issues I'm aware of with the Vonets in the MacWifi readme here: https://github.com/antscode/MacWifi/blob/master/README.md But in regard to keeping a connection with a router, I've had no problems.

FYI for everyone following this thread, you can also use an OpenWRT based router such as the GL-iNet AR300M. It's a little bit more work to set up, but these routers are faster, more robust and more flexible than the Vonets. More info on setting up an OpenWRT router can be found...
