    Bluetooth EDR + PowerPC = ?

    I had disappointing experiences with Bluetooth audio on all Macs PPC and Intel. They would pair but inevitably lose the connection and have difficulty pairing again. This spans all of the Macs and different Bluetooth audio devices I've owned from 2006 until now. I've rarely had issues with...

    Modern display into Powerbook 190

    Assuming the video signals from the motherboard are understood, a RGB2HDMI might work. It has helped a lot of other people get video signals from vintage gear onto LCD displays.

    MicroMac, a Macintosh for under £5

    Sorry, but I can't imagine why. Could you please explain this reasoning? I've been using ARM SBCs for emulation since the RPi1 was released and I've appreciated the upgrades with each generation because it allows the emulation, networking, storage, and video output to perform better. The CPU...

    Coolest 68k Powerbooks to own?

    That's a really good point: I wouldn't be particularly happy with my 68K PowerBooks if I didn't have a 3D printer to make replacement mounts as I have yet to encounter one that doesn't have at least a few of those broken. And epoxy skills, and...

    Coolest 68k Powerbooks to own?

    My recommendations: 140, 145, or 170 for System 6 compatibility and because they're good B&W PowerBooks. 165c or 180c for 68030 color and System 7 variations. These have video out with a dongle so they can be used with an external monitor. 520c, 540c, or 550c for the top end of the 68K line...

    Netatalk 2.3.0 available

    I've setup a "new" RPi3 server running RPi OS Lite with Netatalk 2.3.x. Just a heads up for anyone else trying to use the Webmin module... An additional dependency needs to be installed: sudo apt install libcgi-session-perl -y The Netatalk Webmin module will work, but the module configuration...

    Has anyone used one of these with a 68K PowerBook?

    PowerBook 500 Series full 040 CPU swap

    I'm sure you all know this, but back in the day there was plenty of pro software that required a FPU. 3D, CAD, animation, statistics and analysis, scientific, I'm sure there's stuff I'm forgetting. A lot of the software wouldn't run without a FPU and using a soft FPU (when that worked) was...

    PowerBook 1xx Case Screw Replacements

    ^ Thank you for the kind offer but I just purchased a bag of them earlier this morning and they will arrive tomorrow. I also bought some plastic weld and epoxy to fix the broken standoff, then a bunch of replacement caps from Digikey. Both machines still work and there are no signs of cap...

    PowerBook 1xx Case Screw Replacements

    The ones I'm missing are the bottom case screws, the first ones you take out from the bottom of the PowerBook to get inside it. I'm looking to buy more than one, I'm simply trying to make sure I get the correct size. I don't have anywhere locally I can visit to compare to the original so I...

    PowerBook 1xx Case Screw Replacements

    I've got a PowerBook 140 and 165c and both are missing some of the case screws and I need replacements. I've searched these forums, the Apple Service Sources, and elsewhere but I haven't been able to find a definitive answer about the exact specs needed for replacements. One source shows T8...
