    Lisa 2/10!

    Or they could run my build that works with hard discs and has several of the bugs fixed ;-)

    Lisa 2/10!

    Congratulations! The 2/10 is probably the most sensible Lisa to have in my opinion as someone who also has a 2/10. Ahh, both of mine were knackered so I gave them away for Science to happen. I'll have to hear someone else's working one day. Yeah - once you actually start looking at it and...

    My Mad B&W G3 Setup!

    Woo, well done. That can feel very overwhelming.

    Salvation Archive

    You know that that's not even the same limewire, right? Like, this one is a company that also owns the rights to Fyre Festival and if that isn't enough of a red flag for you I'm not sure I can help you.

    Scans of Macintosh 128k, 512k, 512ke and Plus manuals

    I didn't even notice those while scanning! Can see them now...

    A thread for RackMacs

    Yes! I'd forgotten about this but how nice to see it again. Worth it even if just for the enormously overengineered power switch in pic 5 if anyone is wondering.

    CC trouble Red colour dropping when warm

    This may be an annoying suggestion but have you thoroughly cleaned the edge connectors, both on the boards and on the wiring harness? When I've had a single colour drop out on these it's often actually been the connector playing up.

    New SE/30 find!

    That's in pretty decent nick! Good find.

    MacAuthor anyone?

    The OP means they've already uploaded it, so it's precisely the version they have. Hooray for language ambiguities!

    LCWeb, a 68k web server

    Yes, you'll need some kind of proxy, though as usual it is wrong about how to actually go about it. Personally I'd look at using fetchmail + courier-pop3 or similar to basically set up a mail proxy. Could someone in theory build a modern encryption stack etc for 68k? Certainly. Would it then...

    What's inside an original [10100] Cayman Gatorbox?

    Quite a lot of things from that period seem to use AC wall supplies then do rectification "in-house" as it were: you can see a fairly chunky bridge rectifier on your first board pic at the bottom just left of the middle (D01 - D04). I've always assumed this was due to space and it being harder...

    Notes on a crashing Apple Internet Router / Apple IP Gateway

    tl;dr: resolving an IP address conflict can cause Apple IP Gateway to go into some kind of infinite loop and crash. If you must run IP Gateway, keep the IP ranges used for MacIP and normal allocations disjoint; better still, use macipgw. Apparent Symptoms: I rebooted my virtual machine...

    USB mouse forcing Safe Boot?

    It isn't actually a composite device and pretending to be a keyboard too or something is it? Check in System Profiler.

    Scans of Macintosh 128k, 512k, 512ke and Plus manuals

    Here's a scan of 030-0687-B which I did tonight. The PDF is big because I tried to scan the photographic pages in perhaps excessive quality. https://archive.org/details/030-0687-b Of course, feel free to re-encode/compress/archive/make available for download/whatever.

    Apple ][ QuickTake 150 hack!

    I think you're thinking of @croissantking maybe? Or @Hollie. Can't remember who has which.

    What's inside an original [10100] Cayman Gatorbox?

    Oh, interesting. Thankyou for the photos! Does it say why? Were they worried about thermals or something? I wonder if this was actually to have interface swappability or just to save space? All the circuitry for each interface is on the daughterboard (the Ethernet controller is on the...

    A/UX 3.x install on IIfx hangs

    I think you can interrupt boot and use sash (A/UX Boot I think it's called under 3.0?) to boot the install media single user. That might give you the ability to poke things like what filesystems are mounted; the error you posted initially suggests that something isn't being mounted that ought...

    Monitor "high resolution"monocrome MO400 arcing

    Yes, I think at this point you probably have to reach peace with the fact that that is an ex-flyback. On the bright side, it may have found a new career as an impromptu arc cutter, given the hole in the metal there.../

    Q950 psu in smoke.

    The main advantage of replacing the innards is that you basically only have to work on the low voltage side, and the likelihood of creating fire or shock risks is much, much lower.

    How does the L2 cache work on NuBus (PowerPC)

    OpenFirmware is just what it sounds like, low level hardware access and boot firmware for a computer. Roughly analogous to a PC's BIOS but much more powerful. There's no magical connection between open firmware and PCI except that Apple started using it when they started using PCI; it's been...
