With any OS X Disk Utility or with the diskutil commandline tool. I have not done it in more than 10 years, but it should still work

.cdr would of course hint to Corel Draw :) But no, it is a ready-to-burn image created by the Disk Utility from OSX. ISO would have been a better choice..

Since m.2 is the current standard, the SSDs tend to be cheaper than mSATA ones. IDE to m.2 adapters in a 2.5" HD form factor go for about 15-20 Euros at Amazon. The thing is, it is becoming hard to get SSDs below 128 GB. If you want something smaller, the SDcard option is still worth consideration

Look at the Wikipedia entry In short, it is the current standard connector for Flash disks in computers and replaces the former (bigger) mSATA conector. There is a photo showing both side by side at the linked Wikipedia site. What makes it a bit more complicated, is that there are m.2...

Everything written here is true, sadly. I just want to specify it a bit more. iCab 2.9.9 is the most modern browser for 68k Macs. But as you discovered, it won't go to any modern websites. And even if it could display them (there are some sensible webdesigners left), it is not able to work with...

Agreed. I forgot to mention that only packed files can be transferred via ftp or http. The Resource Forks are lost otherwise!

If I have an TCP connection (Ethernet or Serial Modem), I always fire up a Python ftp or http server from my Linux box that serves the current directory. Then I use Fetch 3.0.3 or a browser on the Classic Mac for downloading. Fetch is much more lightweight and works well even on System 6 and...

Could you try an external Apple CDROM, maybe it is a driver issue? The Apple drives (Disk and CD) are passed through to the PC Card via Apple's System Extensions. Maybe it only works with original Apple drives. It could also be, that only one CDROM is provided for the PC side? You could...

This is probably true. At least if it tryes to negotiate compatible cyphers. On old systems ihat would take some time for sure.

I had time to check in the meantime and was able to disable SSL on iCab 2.6.x (last 68k version) as well as Netscape 4.x. On IE 4.x i did not find a setting regarding SSL though. But if you connect to any modern and incompatible server with old SSL enabled, the connection will just fail. It is...

This has me thinking back pretty hard. But wasn't it possible to disable SSL (v1, v2) on Netscape 4.x as well as IE 4.x. iCab offers the same function too AFAIR. I can check If you want to, but not before tomorrrow.

True, but this is less of a technical problem. More like people are overdoing it ;)

I feared that when I used the plastic lever to pull out the mainboard. It did not come out easily, but the lever held. It"s probably a good idea to not using it often after cleaning the system.

I have been loking for a long time to find a 12" 1.5 Ghz Powerbook to repair the one I bought new in 2005 and that is pretty much worn out. Now I got a working one in pretty good condition for only 50 EUR. Neat! I'm looking forward to a refurbished 12" Powerbook 1.5 GHz, the Mac I liked most of...

For anyone in Europe, there is a source in Germany too: https://www.vesalia.de/d_68040.htm They sell it as "tested up to 40 Mhz" although it says 25 on the chip. - I got a XC Revision E31F and it works well in a Performa 630. Without a heatsink it gets warm but not hot enough to burn your...

I have a Performa 630 and a PowerMac 6200 with a dead (not yet repaired) power supply. Swapping ht Boards is no problem at all.

Check the voltages of the 5V and 12V rail. It can be done from the Floppy port and is described in the Classic Macintosh Repair Guide. The menioned Optoisolator can be the culprit, but so can the nearby PP1 potentioeter. In any case - checking the voltages while the machine is running, will give...

@Bolle I've just found this thread and did not (yet) read it all. I just want make sure that you aware of this device: Onion Omega2 I've successfully connected to WIFI using a Linux Laptop as a PPP Bridge with the "slirp" package. I am also still experimenting with an ESP32 setup but thinking...

Don't worry, it is not too bad. I've replaced several back in the day when the machines were still in regular use and never had more than one or two screws left over ;-) Just take your time and make pictures at every step and you'll do fine if the HD's time has come.

Seeing this, I rememberd that a pretty complete black PowerMac 5500/225 setup has been offered multiple times over the last few months on an Austrian classified ads site. Link can be found in the EU Finds Thread.
