    Color Classic screen wavering.

    I had similar issues with my CC untill I added an extra 5v PSU. The analog board is woefully underpowered. After upgrading the logic board and adding a network card I was getting the same kinda problem on my screen. Once I added a second psu to power the 5v rail I’ve never had problems since.

    Use cases for a new AppleTalk stack

    also i think some sort of config GUI for netatalk 2/3 that can be used to setup shares and config the basics like netbios, users, permissions. etc in a much more 'Human Interface' way would be a massive improvement. perhaps being written in python and being able to autodetect the running OS for...

    Use cases for a new AppleTalk stack

    i think for the majority or users using appletalk they mainly want to be able to share files from modem computers to retro macs mainly system 6 onwards. due that i think that's why so much effort and work has been done in updating netatalk 2.2.x. my current understanding in that the plan is to...

    Mac OS X 10.4.11 Tiger for 600MHz iMac G3?

    its possible the security certificate has expired, you could try setting you system time to December 2007 and seeing if it lets you install when you say you install is broke what exactly did you mean, because the other option would be to try reinstalling os x over you current system and then...

    Macintosh SE/30 logicboard recreation (thread revival)

    if you hunt around you can still find 30pim sockets from time to time, but finding 64pin rom sockets its probably not even possible these days, last time i got some of those was around 4 years ago and while i bought about 5 of them, i kind of regret i didnt but like 10-20 of them. i couple...

    Macintosh SE/30 logicboard recreation (thread revival)

    I actually did that when I upgraded my se/30 to have 128mb of ram, for me it was way cheaper at the time to buy 72pin ram with the correct size memory IC's and make my own 16mb simms. in terms of replaceing the se/30's 8 ram slot with 72pin simms, its certainly doable, however while I haven't...

    Industrial Disk On Module DOM Power Supply Cable

    someone will need to confirm, but from your picture it appears to be a 2-pin micro JST connecter. not sure how easy getting a pre-made cable will or won't be, its more common to find pc power cable adaptors with 4 pin (adding the extra and and +12) then just the 2 pin variety. and the cables I...

    Is it possible to use a stylewriter 1200 on a "modern" version of macOS

    your best bet is probably to try using the CUPS driver, I haven't used myself since probably around OS X 10.6 era, but I had an old laser writer I used to use this way with no issues. obviously that was many years ago and was a lifetime ago in terms on Mac OS X changes, however as far as I can...

    sd card support can be a bit hit or miss at times with Arduino based project or other similar devices, generally a library such as SdFat ts used to provide support for sdcard read/write. sometimes when these libraries get updated it can cause issues with some sd cards. its not so common these...

    Pico ATX PSU kit for Macintosh SE, SE/30, 128K, and Plus

    yes sorry, I didn't proof read what I wrote, I meant to say a 2.5mm or larger centre pin not a 5.5mm centre pin

    Pico ATX PSU kit for Macintosh SE, SE/30, 128K, and Plus

    I believe the pico varies between around 85-96% efficiency depending on the rail and there amps drawn. also im pretty sure they use a 5.5mm or larger or the centre pin dc jack should handle somewhere between 5-10amps from memory (standard/typical dc jacks are 2.1mm) when selling a replacement...

    Pico ATX PSU kit for Macintosh SE, SE/30, 128K, and Plus

    so further info in case its helpful, I just went and checked the specs out the picoATX-80 it'll and it it'll provide enough amps on the required rails but even they use a 60w 12v DC with the 80w pico. however I stand by what I said in my last post about needing at least a 80w 12v dc brick (100w...

    Pico ATX PSU kit for Macintosh SE, SE/30, 128K, and Plus

    nice design there, fwiw with a 12v 40W psi that's only about 3.3A, so it's going to be important to check exactly what the se/30 requires on each rail. I don't have a se/30 open in front of me right now but from memory the +5v rail is speed for around 6A and the two 12v rails combined are around...

    Unsupported eMac - any way to get OS 9 to show in OS X startup disk selector?

    just re-read the OP and in regards to it taking ages to finishing scanning when you use the open firmware boot picker its because the boot picker also searcher for Netboot devices and will do so regardless if you are connected to a lan or not. my understanding its it its listening for the...
