    Help me find a realistic solution to my problem

    Somewhat branching from my "Don't know Jack" about Pi3 thread, I now have gotten at least on piece of the puzzle down: I have used the Pi with MacIPRPi to successfully set up CUPS to share my laser printer. Works very well, and that was at least 1/2 of the puzzle. The other half is: - Figuring...

    Are there any 1000 Base-T PCI cards for a PT Pro?

    Title says it all. The built-in ethernet is kind of bottlenecking me....are there any that might work under 9 or 8....or not at all?

    Looking for an analog video input PCI card that will work with 2008 Mac Pro

    Just as described in the title. I am looking to see if there are any Mac PCI cards that will work with OS X ~10.6 with analog RGB and/or S-video input jacks that can capture/record video to a 2008 Mac Pro. Do any such cards exist?

    Need an "I don't know jack" guide to Pi 3 and Netatalk/CUPS

    So, I finally got my Pi 3 hooked to a TV. Installed one of the versions of Raspberry Pi 32-bit OS (with GUI). Now I'm stuck. I have absolutely no idea how to do any of this other stuff. I wanted to install Netatalk for its CUPS support to get my Macs printing to a modern Laser Printer. I have...

    What to put on a Raspberry Pi 3 to act as an intermediary for classic Mac OS to print to a modern Laser printer

    Title says it all. I know there are threads around with things like it, but I wasn't able to find one with this exact case.

    Using the new-build MicroMac Performer

    I got this thing at an insanely reasonable price, courtesy of @obsolete. This is the first accelerator of any kind I’ve ever had…I never seem to get lucky like some of you, every machine I ever find is almost always bone stock. I wasn’t sure what to expect… My SE SuperDrive has 4 MB RAM, and a...

    Will this RAM work in a B&W G3?

    Apple Ethernet Workgroup Hub - Cables Needed?

    At VCF Midwest, I picked up this neat little Apple Ethernet 10T/5 Workgroup Hub that had found its way into the free stuff pile. After reading up on it, it appears that it can function basically as a mini-hub for a bunch of Macs...which is exactly what I would need if I was going to, say, link...

    MicroMac Performer Manual?

    I’ve heard the performer had a really good manual that went with it. I’m getting a clone soon and wasn’t sure if anyone had the actual documentation scanned somewhere. A quick search turned up nothing.

    What should I do with this?

    A friend gifted me this Pi. I have not the slightest idea how/what I should do with this thing. I don’t know how they work or what this one would be suited for. Something Mac-related is what I’m looking for, of course. What would you guys do with it?

    Trouble with Halo on 2008 Mac Pro

    Hello everyone, I’m trying to get Halo to run on my Mac Pro, and I’m getting the “black screen” issue where the title screen doesn’t render. This is the 2.0.4 universal binary version. I’m running Mac OS 10.6, and I’ve got a Radeon 5870 for a graphics card paired with a DisplayPort based LED...

    Help identifying these G4 tower processor cards

    Hello, Trying to identify these cards as I have little recollection of exactly which model they are for, or what their specs are. I seem to recall they are Quicksilver cards but I could be wrong. Need some expert help with IDing. Apple part number 820-1282-A Apple part number 820-1314-A Both...

    Help Identifying These Video Cards

    Hey everyone, Got these two video cards in my pile I know nothing about. One I can see is a Mac Radeon 9250. The other is an Apple Card with VRAM slots. I’m not sure what Macs either of these will work with, or what they are good for.

    Latest OS 9 OpenGL Installer

    Does anyone have an installer for whatever the latest OS 9 OpenGL extensions were? I am trying to get Hornet Korea working properly on my Quicksilver with OS 9.2.2, and I think somehow a mix of OpenGL extension versions was installed, and it is playing havoc with things. The only ones I have in...

    Experience and suggestions: setting up BlueSCSI with my Mac SE.

    I finally got around to replacing the SCSI2SD in my SE SuperDrive with a BlueSCSI v2 last week. I was initially hesitant because of not having any BlueSCSI experience, but the SCSI2SD starting to flake out changed my mind! So, the installation physically, using the online instructions, worked...

    New acquisitions: MacPro 2010 and XServe 2009

    Happened upon a 2010 Mac Pro with three 512 GB SSDs, ATI Radeon RX 580, a bunch of OWC RAM, and dual 2.93 GHz processors (highest twin processor config that year) all for under $250 including the shipping off eBay. It was in fairly decent shape, aside of some nicks on the handles. Of course, UPS...

    1400 Battery Discharge Issue

    I've been more and more aware of this strange issue affecting my recapped and restored 1400. The machine gets very confused about batteries and discharge time. After a few minutes of use (in this case, it was 25 minutes), I get the "reserve power and screen dimmed" message when it is obvious...

    Going to look at a B&W G3

    Hey everyone, Going to look at possibly buying this B&W G3 that’s about 30 min from me. I already know it doesn’t have RAM, and looks like the modem has been removed (don’t need it anyway), but was wondering if anyone saw any other red flags in these photos. I was going to offer him $120 for...

    Mac Pro 2008 - Hard Freeze while burning discs

    Granted, this isn't PPC, but there is no area for Intel I can see, so here goes... I have two replacement LG DVD R/W drives in my Mac Pro. Both are the same. Both are SATA drives connected to the ATA bus via ATA to SATA adapters. Never had an issue with these with HDs or otherwise. The drives...
