    There was someone at VCF East 2025 that was doing a 3d scan of a genesis front panel... @ajacocks might's been the person or know who it was?

    A thread for packing lists

    So it appears that there's two different packing lists for PowerCD. This likely corresponds to the two different versions. Mine, a H0014LL/A "Consumer - USA" (Navy Blue Model) came with the one listed above. One on eBay right now (item 206107048069) has a different packing list: Comparing it...

    is it worth doing the takky mod in 2026?

    Having a done a number of tally mods, my response to that would be is it worth it, I think so, they are really fun machines when you shove a stupid amount of stuff into a small case like that. Kind of like what happens with SE/3- maxing. At the end of the day, though, what you get is not going...

    Quantum 80S drive not spinning

    I personally don't get the fascination a lot of people have with trying to keep these drives running (no critique if "that's your bag") as part of the whole vintage kit when solid state options are in abundance now, and I'd say I do the same as mentioned by fink, image with zulu/blue and then...

    upgrading the ibook clamshell's L2 cache to 1MB

    Oh definitely- I just meant that on that specific machine, i didn't even know it'd failed because OSX doesnt do the popup, and classic wasnt notifying. Anyhow.. definitely gonna be following your attempts if you plan to keep trying!

    Finding FiberTalk: DuPont's AppleTalk-over-Fiber Hardware

    I've been meaning to reply back into here for a while... I'm assuming none of the hardware or additional info has ever turned up. I meant to share this here - specifically in trying to find out info on what the heck a "DuPont connector" was in the context of Apple's poster it sent me down this...

    upgrading the ibook clamshell's L2 cache to 1MB

    Totally not directly related, but BITD, about a year and a half after I got my DA/733/1M Superdrive model, I started getting the same error you're seeing completely out of the blue in os9, but not in osx... I ASSUME there's some kind of integrity check but i doubt there's any diagnostics for...

    PSU 6360, 6290 and ? ID help please.

    C is a 6360 The Brown wire is the 3.3v wire. It's easy to tell by just making sure the power output from the PSU is fully populated. You can also tell by looking at the power output ratings on the label. If there's no 3.3v, then it won't power the PCI bus properly, and you will have mostly...

    Just bought some ANS locks and keys:

    Also, it's been a while so I forgot, it's not pins, but rather "gates" but easy enough to get the idea- just watch out for the tiny springs that sit along the gates!

    Ok, so it's on my twitter, but since I don't really want to promote that anymore after having moved over to bluesky, here's a screenshot of it:

    Just bought some ANS locks and keys:

    I find that re-keying the quadra locks is pretty trivial- at the end of the day, we're not super-worried about security, pull the core and then just find a single pin or two from your starting lock that matches the donor key, and reassemble- you can leave out the other pins.

    Good size 68k FB Marketplace haul

    Ended up coming here looking for info about the MicroMac ZeroSlot board, as I'm planning to rebuild and upgrade a MicroMac I just picked up at VCF East this weekend that was video card-less, and I just noticed that it's your third unit (I cleaned the case last night after getting home)! I also...

    Reinstalling ANS from Zulu/BlueSCSI

    I'm trying to figure out how to reinstall my new (problematic-a topic for another thread) ANS500.... It boots fine off the drive that came with it, but it definitely needs a reload. I've setup the structure of my SD card as: Set the keyswitch for service... I've tried IDs 1, and 2 (2 was the...

    68040 mhz

    Closing this thread. Conversation is going in circles, and the overall conversation is rection unrelated to the main focus of this site (vintage MACINTOSH computers and related ephemera) Continued questioning of clear evidence and speculation in the face of proof isn't beneficial to anyone.

    ITXPlus: A ITX Sized Macintosh Plus Logicboard Reproduction

    i meant like the board would have to be designed with the male plugs on opposite sides of the board so one can plug into the board and the other one wouldn't be sandwiched in the middle...

    ITXPlus: A ITX Sized Macintosh Plus Logicboard Reproduction

    Just got my ITXPlus board in today (really excited, but probably won't have time to fire it up for a few weeks as I'm moving)... regarding the SWIM adapter.. any thoughts to making it in a formfactor such that it can just plug over top of the motherboard header and then exposes the floppy plug...
