More of a hardware "repair" than a hack. I was getting tired of how my cheap Philips CD-Rs just wouldn't work in my PowerBook G4 no matter what speed I burned them. So it got me thinking, the reason why game consoles (esp. GameCubes) often stop reading discs is because the laser's POT...

Someone dropped off several boxes of Vintage Magazines at my local video game shop, the owner didn't want them so I took them off his hands. (I still need to go back and get another 2 boxes as soon as I have the room for them.) First box was a nearly complete collection of Kilobaud...

http://frugalware.org/news/229 This is quiet sad, I have Frugalware 1.3 on my PowerMac G4 sawtooth, (need to upgrade to current.) It's a pretty nice distro. I'm not sure what it would take or if I have the means hardware/skill wise, but I'd like to help them out if possible. Like, is it...

Original Discussion I've though it'd be best to continue the discussion here since it wasn't related to the item for sale in the other topic anymore. Anyway, here's the pictures you requested Concorde1993. ;)...

Stopped at some thrift stores today, and came across a box showing a little device similar to a calculator. Reading the words on the box in bold, white letters, "Pocket Computer." "Cool"! I thought, it was marked for only $4. So I opened the box to see what was inside. It had all the manuals...

I've lately been trying to find things I can do with my Macs. I had been wanting to do email on my Classic II. But alas, I haven't found any email clients that would work with Stunnel. With or without Baton Mail's help. Anyway, I did have success with Outlook Express 5.0.6 and Green Mail, using...

Well, I've finally setup my Classic II for the summer. (Or whats left of summer. :p ) (Any recommendations on how to remove the marks on the case? A simple wet cloth didn't work.) I now have it dual-booting 6.0.8L & 7.5.5 (Easy to switch between the two with Apple's System Picker...

With my recent conquest of development software, I thought it would be useful for me and others if I try to "bookscan" the programming manuals I got for Symantec C++ and THINK Pascal. I plan on using this Instrucable to create my "book scanner." The results are actually quite good. I put...

Today will be forever be remembered as a sad, sad day in my house. For today a good old friend as passed on. My PowerMac 6100. :( I was trying to get the MaxPowr G3 card's L2 cache working again. This time with a working clock battery installed. It kept freezing after turning on the L2 cache...

I just received these yesterday from one of my Dad's friend's nephew. They came from a high school I remember right. There are no Hard Drives and one's missing a PSU, but each has dual PIII 1.4Ghz CPUs and 2GB RAM. Also received a Belkin OmniView Pro2 8-Port KVM Switch. View more here...

Yay! I just found a copy of macpix.sit.hqx! A free pascal interpreter for mac (by the people who did Dr.Pascal) that's mentioned in my copy of Pascal-An Introduction to the Art and Science of Programming by Walter J. Savitch. http://www.it.jcu.edu.au/Subjects/cp1300/1996/progs/ - files for...

As some may know, I've been planning on making a lightweight linux os for PPC Mac. At first I was going to make it using Puppy Linux sources, (hence my username.) But that proved to be a bit too difficult for me. :p So now I'm trying to decide what to base PowerPup on. I've found three that I...

Yesterday I was given this from a friend's neighbor. :D A PowerMac G3 with a MultipleScan 720 Display. Also got a Epson Stylust Color 600 printer, but the ink was dry, probably going to take that to GoodWill. It came with manuals and Apple stickers too. :D Specs: Mac OS 8.1 (With system...

Our local Goodwill was having a 3-day Thanksgiving sale. So I went there to see what bargains I could find. Aside from getting a C language programming book, a book on doing 3D effects in flash, and a few other things. I found this cool little product. XLR8 Point&Scroll Mac USB Mouse It...

I received this as a donation for my PowerPup project. :D (He was tired of messing with it so he gave it to me, but I wanted to at least pay for shipping. ;) ) The display doesn't work, so when I got it I hooked it up to an external monitor to see if that would work. Fortunately it does...

I've been wanting to get YDL 2.3 or 3.0 for a long time so I could try it out on my PowerMac 6100. But I couldn't find the CD images anywhere. :( I finally found a site with the iso for YDL 2.3! :rambo: It hosts ISOs for 2.0 through 2.3. http://fr.rpmfind.net/linux/yellowdog/iso/ I also...

Hi, I'm PowerPup. Been a Macintosh fan ever since I was 6. :D These are my favorite gadget conquests I've conquered so valiantly over the last few years. :rambo: (These pictures are 1024x768 and around 450kb each. I can upload smaller images if asked.) Asanté: Micro AsantéPrint top...
