Turns out that the copy I got is in nicer condition than I expected. I'd rather not flatten it and crease the spine for a flatbed scan, so I'm looking into an alternative way of scanning it now. (I don't even have a flatbed scanner here anyway.) Will update when I get this done.

Just picked up a 2400c for myself. Currently booting off an external SCSI2SD and have an SD to IDE adaptor in the post.  My RAM module was showing errors so I took it out and have another one being shipped now. I should try and clean the contacts of this one first. I also had some corrosion at...

I just ordered a copy of the Perfect Guide, having forgotten about this post. I’ll scan and upload mine as well. 

Just wanted to update this post in case anyone is following my path to resurrecting an Adjustable. I ended up finding problems with a bunch of other keys that couldn't be resolved by swapping out springs and such. So I ended up desoldering known good switches from my parts keyboard (A2) to my...

I should mention that the day after I tried the CF in my PDQ, everything just started working. It's a 16GB Sandisk Extreme IV partitioned into two 8GB HFS+ partitions with the System Folder on the first partition. It's been working fantastically well for the past few weeks, which is the opposite...

That seems cool too. Perhaps I could just provide support for using macproxy and other services (like @TechEdison's nocss) without actually integrating an entire macproxy module?

I gave this a try and registered a couple of test accounts, but I can't seem to log into either of them. Response is an "Incorrect login." page being returned. Any ideas?

I've added @K Trueno's changes so that entries can redirect to loband. In the develop branch, I've also added a setting (among others) to enable or disable loband redirection since I was having trouble getting most loband links to actually work (like, the service itself seems to not work with...

I was able to fix most of the bad keys on the good keyboard. Swapped a few springs out and one metal piece and the keys were back to normal. There's still one key that's giving me issues ("w") and I intend on desoldering the switch and replacing with a good one. I also gave each side of the...

Those images made my eyes hurt... The good news is that you can keep the near mint case and RAM and any other parts; you'll just need to find another II or IIfx board. But unfortunately that looks pretty bad; you'd need some serious electronics skills to repair the traces on that. If you're...

Update: was motivated to look into this further this evening. Did some more testing and found that it was specific key switches that were the problem. Some of them (like the "u" key) are softer and activate with less pressure than others. I found that totally disabling key repeat in the Keyboard...

TL;DR: keys repeat sometimes, can it be fixed by cleaning switches or is it a design flaw? Full post: So I've always wanted this keyboard ever since seeing it in The Net (along with the 8100, PB 540c, etc.). Picked up a non-working but cosmetically great one a few months ago, and a working but...

That's great! I created an issue for this and will merge the patch when I get a chance this week: https://github.com/jonpurdy/mosaicbin/issues/1 I made a lot of assumptions, so I presume there will be more issues like this. Especially cool to see the video of the SE/30!!

That's great! Didn't even think of loband.org, but does it involve rewriting every <a href> to go through loband? If so, that's a great idea. Looking forward to the PR. What changes did you have to make to get it going? I've only tested this on a few feeds (simple and complex) but it...

For those interested, I have released the source for "Mosaicbin" to Github: https://github.com/jonpurdy/mosaicbin Over the past week I've added pagination, style cleanup, and a lot of fixes. But I'd say the biggest feature is image conversion. When an entry is requested that has image links...

So the PDQ I got is great: 300MHz, 512MB RAM, 8GB drive, and a DVD-ROM drive (unexpected surprise). Unfortunately, it too has the exact same issue as my 13.3" 250MHz. I didn't test the 44-pin adaptor, but I did test the CF card in a PCMCIA adaptor and it can read and even boot from the CF card...

I get the same issue when plugging the adaptor into my 250MHz Wallstreet, but it lasts for about 5 seconds then turns off. Then I can boot the machine normally. I've had the processor card out a few times due to other maintenance but it hasn't changed the result. I will try resetting the PMU...

I'm actually having some trouble as well on my 250MHz Wallstreet (non-PDQ) with a Sandisk CF → 44-PIN IDE dual drive adaptor, as well as when the CF card is in a PCMCIA adaptor. The system hangs whenever I try to write data to it (mouse cursor can move, but clock and everything else freezes)...

So I've wanted to use my 9500 for web browsing but most of the solutions just don't work for me. Classic browsers (even iCab) don't render most sites correctly, and web rendering proxy has many issues (like form submission and only rendering part of the page).  But then I realized half of what...

Apparently with this product (specifically the PowerTower Pro), their CEO (Steve Kang) was able to use his connections at IBM to get these 604e chips super quickly. Combine that with their already fast product development cycle and they were able to beat Apple to market. Totally mixed feelings...
