For Macs with 68030 processors and ROM-SIMM slots, a ROMinator II ROM SIMM is also a very handy option. I have one in my IIfx. p.s. I second @olePigeon's suggestion of removable media drives with SCSI ports. They are very useful indeed and can act as sneakernet when your network is down too. If...

That may be so, but the breed of apple in question is called McIntosh. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McIntosh_(apple) As an aside, the word Macintosh comes from Irish (aka Gaelic) mac an taoisigh which means 'son of the leader'. The prime minister of the Republic of Ireland is called the...

Congrats on the find & rescue! And a homage to Jeff Raskin, conceiver of the Mac and its namer The McIntosh was his favourite variety of apple. https://www.folklore.org/StoryView.py?project=Macintosh&story=Bicycle.txt...

I'd like to see a variety of front-facing ports that make use of the floppy slot or the G3/QS slot along the lines of the GeeThree Sweet Multiport [1]. For 68K machines, something simple like a bezel & holder to allow a couple of WhateverToSD boards to be mounted. For beige PCI-Macs 1, front...

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.

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.

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...

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.

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...

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.

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.

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 &...

Well, I could do with a machine that helps dry clothes in the cellar in winter...

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.

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.

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...

Yours is the CV II listed near the bottom.

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...

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

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.
