    What're you using your Mac Pro for?

    I had been using my 2016 Pro as a Plex server until recently. Upgraded(?) to a M1 mini, which if it isn't much faster at least uses less electricity. Planning on trying the Pro as a dual-boot windows machine just for fun.

    Asante EN/SC with Blue SCSI

    I'm not personally familiar with the EN/SC, but it looks like it should work just fine assuming proper scsi configuration and termination. It's not network booting though, it's just standard scsi as it was designed to be used.

    DB15 to VGA video adapter genders

    It might work, but I kind of doubt it. Seems like it would also end up being really long and difficult to use. The real adapters seem to be fairly plentiful (at least around here; I couldn't speak to availability in Portugal) and even sometimes cheap; I think it would probably be worth finding...

    Cloning the IWM (sort of)

    I had always understood that the initialization stood for "Integrated Wozniak Machine"

    Fair price to sell non-booting MacPortable M5126

    For quite a while, macintosh floppy drive sound effects were kind of the go-to for computer sounds. I couldn't name any names offhand, but it was always amusing to see a character working on a PC while it made sounds like a mac plus.

    eMate 300 doesn't boot

    Have you checked the flat cable to the display? Hinge springs are known to sometimes punch a hole through the display cable

    "portable"/"slim" 6200/5200

    Given the state of the plastics on the 5200/5400 (and others) we're all going to need something like this eventually. Yours has a nice Fisher-Price/Play-Doh sort of color scheme going for it

    Performa 630 newbie questions

    BTW, one of our members here is selling a few keyboards at a price you'll certainly not see on Ebay. If I thought I might need a keyboard in the near future, I'd jump all over it.

    Performa 630 newbie questions

    Your 630 has 4mb soldered in, with a simm socket that will accept up to a 32mb simm, so yes, you're maxed out. The 630 came in a CD configuration which used an internal SCSI connection, so that's an option; also there's an external SCSI connection, so bluescsi or zuluscsi or any of the others...

    iMac G4 OS9 and iPod

    These guys have a wide range of adapters for iPod flash storage. At a quick glance, the oldest models I saw were 3rd gen, but maybe they have something for 2nd gen. Given the scarcity of click wheel iPods, maybe it would be worthwhile to install an OS X partition to support somewhat later...

    Battery replacement for Portable 5120

    My Portable is unlikely to ever be... ported; it's mostly for display and occasionally to mess around with. So I don't want to have to maintain batteries, even relatively long-lasting and low-maintenance ones. I guess there's a lid for every pot.

    Battery replacement for Portable 5120

    I expect it should be fine; the voltage is the critical bit here, right? My (very limited) understanding is that voltage is how hard it can squirt the power, ah (amp hours) is the capacity of the container. But I could certainly be tragically wrong. In the interest of providing alternatives...

    Few questions about StuffIt, MacBinary and file transfers.

    All this was a lot easier back in the day when we all just exchanged floppy disks and lots of folks had lots of various macs that could readily talk to the Plus. All of that is different now; newer systems just don't exchange information the same way, and even the basic assumptions of how a...

    Using Zip drive as HDD for Macintosh Plus

    One of the tricky bits to watch out for is if you're booting a Plus from a Zip disk with version 4.2 of the boot driver on it, but then stick that disk into your G3 (or whatever) which has a later version of the driver loaded, it will automatically over-write the 4.2 driver on the disk with...
