    Boot Speed vs High Ram Count - Quadra 950

    Get your yourself a Mac Mini G4, install the version Mac OS 9.2.2 modified to run on it and connect to the MG that way. It works well until it crashes, which is not unknown. Then connect the Mac Mini G4 to your Q950 and your 68K mac has access to the shared volumes on your G4.

    Help Identifying Macintosh Notebook

    Does the company mentioned inside the case (FU YU MFG Singapore) say anything to anybody? The first result in Google is the Fu Yu Manufacturing Limited and they have been doing high precision plastic parts for a few decades now, well, at least acc. to their website.

    Cross thread: iBook stuff

    This is a cross thread to the rest of a collection that I got a collector in Geneva. The software is in French or German or English and there is a lot of iBook software & packaging. The link is here: https://68kmla.org/bb/index.php?threads/good-homes-wanted.45171/ If there is anything that you...

    Things that tempt me

    So they exist then! Aside from the ultra-narrow 68-pin slots, I thought that I had seen all of the standard SCSI plugs found in use with Macs. I must go look for a few. It will save me a 50-pin SCSI device in the middle.

    Font & Size of the letters G3 on the Blue & White case

    Yes, but consistently. So, if there were 12 inches to a foot, twelve feet to a yard, twelve yards to a chain and so on. Or 60 inches to a foot, 60 feet to a yard, 60 yards to a chain and so on. While we are talking about units, my favourite unit is the Helen (H), which is the amount beauty one...

    Font & Size of the letters G3 on the Blue & White case

    12cm is good for me. Thanks again. The Imperial System would have so much to recommend if it had chosen a common multiplier like 12 or 60. Personally, I blame Charlemagne.

    Font & Size of the letters G3 on the Blue & White case

    If the side panel off, I would be very happy to have exact height of the letters. Millimetres is fine. The width would be good but since Helvetica Black is a good enough fit, the width is not so important.

    Rehousing a B&W into a Sawtooth case?

    My answer is rather hypocritical because I am building a Blue & Silver G3 as well as a Black & White G4. The process is *very* time-consuming and I'm running a big rishḱ in breaking something, shorting something or simply invoking karma. That being said, CircuitBored's advice is the simplest &...

    Things that tempt me

    You might need two cables and a bridge device. I've never seen a 25-pin SCSI to 68-pin SCSI LVD cable. You may also want to check the Avolusion site for System 6-7 drivers although I'm putting my faith in SilverLining d2.

    I was given a trove of vintage Mac and BMUG materials

    Lucky you! That HyperCard 2.3 package is really nice. I couldn't care less about shrinkwrap (although the little application is super) but there are some collectors of HyperCard who may very well be hyperventilating as I type.

    Things that tempt me

    This thing is bad news. I don't need it. It will consume probably far too much electricity. It will be loud. It will far too big for my wants (my needs have ĺong been met). But I wants it, my Precious. It has SATA to SCSI. I could put in 16x SSDs and have a wonderful RAID-10 system for my B&W...

    Need help identifying this card

    It very much depends on the refresh rate, I should think. It was almost certainly made with a specific monitor in mind from RasterOps. You could try an old 4:3 LCD monitor and see what luck you have. I like the ones from Eizo. Try looking up PDFs of old Mac magazines from 1988-1989 and look for...

    Need help identifying this card

    That would have been one of the first cards for DTP-use on a 20+" monitor on a Mac II onwards. The RasterOps drivers can be found here: For System 6 https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/rasterops-108-driver For System 7.x https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/rasterops-graphics-system-software-168

    Where to buy RAM for old Macs?

    I reckon that this site is good place to find RAM for a TAM. There certainly were some sites online which sold RAM for old Macs but I think that they have closed down. Memoryx.com was my go-to site but that was 10 years' ago.

    I might be interested. There is also a member in Switzerland who may be very interested.

    Infocom Trinity - How to make a disk that is playable on Macintosh 512K

    Just a thought: must the 400K floppy image be formatted in MFS to work on the 512K or will HFS also do?

    Motorola 68060 upgrade

    I sometimes wonder if such topics would make for great Ph.D. theses: bringing old chipsets to life either through updating/rewriting old OSs or for new ones. The latter would require a massive investment in resources but the former might just be doable.

    Never thought I'd see the day! (Studio Display 15-inch flat panel Rev A)

    There's one on sale in Switzerland for CHF 150.—. https://www.tutti.ch/de/vi/basel/computer-zubehoer/komponenten-zubehoer/apple-studio-display-15-lcd-m4551/58317932 I was thinking about buying it so that I would have a DA-15 plus on an LCD screen but since I already have a Rev. 2 and the...
