    Mac SE Clock Drift

    Yes, sounds like perhaps the oscillator is damaged. The CPU is responsible for keeping time while the machine is on.

    What to do with a Powermac 9600/200MP

    Good luck, hope your surgery goes well. That does indeed sound like a good time to play with software projects!

    What to do with a Powermac 9600/200MP

    The 9600 MP is on the supported list, so it ought to be relatively straightforward. The only thing to remember is that the bootloader stops working in later MacOS versions - I can't remember when the cutoff is (maybe it stops at 8.6?), but if you try to boot into the installer and it just...

    What to do with a Powermac 9600/200MP

    Play with BeOS on it? Not perhaps entirely productive, but rather cool

    Macintosh 68060 Redux

    You say this but there was someone on IRC recently still using one as a control system for chemical synthesis over LocalTalk (!). Really fascinating. You're right, though, I just thought you might enjoy that little bit of information. Anyway, back to the thread...

    Macintosh 68060 Redux

    If one would like to see something done, one really has two options: one can learn to do it oneself, or one can incentivise other people to do so, either with money or with something else they would value; which may just be encouragement or cheering. Glumly telling people who have just done...

    Macintosh 68060 Redux

    Well done. I've always said that we'd only get an 060 working in a Mac if someone clever put in the work. You are clever and you have put in the work. Nice one.

    Different ROM SE/30

    Yeah, hacked ROMs are massively overrated; it's not really an upgrade in any meaningful way, it's more an excuse to tinker.

    Timbuktu Pro 4 on IIci with system 7.5.5 hangs on shutdown

    FWIW, I used to use Pro 3 on 7.x and never experienced the issues you mention here, inasmuchas that means anything...

    Problems with Quadra 610 ; Dead Board and Unusual PSU

    To an extent, although the made in China isn't so much the problem as the mystery aliexpress brands you've never heard of. Go for a reputable brand like nichicon, panasonic, wurth &c., or the house brand of a reputable component distributor (like RS or Farnell), because wherever they are made...

    Pop-up menus on System 6

    I think the intention is really that a WIND is something that your application is in control of drawing most of, whereas if you want something with controls and stuff, you would tend to only have one of them and it would be a modeless dialog. Don't forget you can use other WDEFs for your...

    A thread for packing lists

    This is a thread for scans of packing lists, so there's somewhere to put a record of what actually came in the box with what hardware. Here's a few to start with: LaserWriter IINT/NTX accessories pack (British) StyleWriter accessories pack (International) AEK II Centris 650 with CD-ROM Drive...
