It's a file from BBS in a Box volume 22 with the description "August issue of Hermes Externals Newsletter." I would love to be able to read this! I get a disk-related error when trying to expand with Unstuffit v5.5 and v3.51, and I can't get v1.6b1 to read it. Thanks in advance!

Got together with a couple of my old pals last night and we played some old-school Marathon via LAN like BITD. Well, not quite as we all played it BITD - we played via Aleph One on our MacBook Pro's (although I did use an Apple Pro Keyboard for controls!). Had an absolute blast and we ended up...

I recently received this broken 500 MHz Sonnet Crescendo in a purchase with another working accelerator, and I'm wondering if anyone might be able to fix it? There's a free working 400 MHz Sonnet Crescendo Z-PPCG3C-B in it for ya if you can! One of the PI53 bus switches has been mangled with...

While playing around with MacPortrait and my Dell P1917s LCD rotating monitor, I thought it would be cool to see how vertically-oriented arcade games would look on it. Bottom line is that they look awesome in MacMAME! I was able to find a full rom set (0.78) for the Unofficial v0.81 of...

Is there a way to mirror your display in System 7.6? I'm trying to do this on my 6100 with built-in display port + AV card + two VGA monitors with converters but all I can do is extend the display. Holding option down brings up the little Mac that I can move back and forth which doesn't seem...

Does anyone have the schematics for the PowerMac 7600's logic board? I've got a modem port that doesn't work, but the printer port works fine.

I was playing around with White Knight terminal program and noticed it had a Host Mode option. It's pretty bare bones and you don't even get a prompt when you connect. In fact, all the Host Mode does is monitor incoming text for certain keywords like DRIVE, DIR, SENDY, RECY, etc. and they must...

Anyone have any luck getting DOOM to run on a PC Card? I recently got a Reply DOS on Power Mac card w/133MHz Pentium for my Power Mac 7600 and have Wolf3D up and running fine but every version of DOOM I try crashes. Here's what happens in Windoze 95 (which is the same that happens in DOS) when...

Hey guys, My Quadra 605 w/BlueSCSI v2 running System 7.5.5 freezes up intermittently when I'm copying large files between hard drives or from my server. I thought this might be from overclocking the logic board to 33 MHz, but it never freezes with copying when all extensions are off. I've...

Blah Blob! is a short platformer game made in HyperCard. You control the titular Blah Blob as you bounce through twenty levels of increasingly devious obstacles. Play the whole game straight through trying your best not to explode, or speedrun the levels individually or even the whole game...

In the quest to make my IIsi as speedy as possible, I've been migrating from System 7.5.5 to 7.1. The only thing I can't get working in 7.1 that works fine with 7.5.5 is copying files to my netatalk file server running on a Raspberry Pi. Copying files from the server works fine, but when I try...

Hey guys, I recently acquired a IIci that just gives me a gray screen upon boot. I've got 12V and 5V at the HD power connector, so I'm assuming the PS is good. The board has some corrosion in the expected places near the surface caps, and C10, C13, and the IC at UD13 basically fell off with a...

I got a Quicksilver a few years back that had a couple of TAXI PCI cards in it and I could never find much info on them, other than that they were used to interface with early digital cameras. I had the cards up on eBay for quite a while and someone finally bought one of them. I asked him what...

Well, I vowed never to buy another IIsi after I paid big bucks for one back in college and my parents bought an LC III, which was 5 MHz faster than my IIsi, for $1000 cheaper less than a year later. But, a very-clean non-working IIsi came up on here for $50 and I was looking for a project. I...

Hey guys, I'm still trying to get a dead IIsi I recently bought up and running. I've recapped the PS and logic board and now get a chime upon boot but the HD (known to work) won't spin up. Initially I thought it may be a PS issue as I was only getting 10V at the HD connector but I'm actually...

Hey guys, I recently picked up a Techworks IIsi Ethernet network card set for my yet-to-be-running IIsi. And I paid a lot more for it than the IIsi itself! :) A couple of questions: Does anyone have a manual for this? It's got a couple of jumpers that I'm not sure are for what. I do have...

Hey guys, I recently picked up a dead IIsi, recapped the logic board and power supply, and now it chimes when turned on but I get no video and the hard drive does not spin up. I measured the voltage at the hard drive power connector and I only get about 10.8V on the 12V rail, and 4.98V on the...

I got a Mac SE in a lot of Apple stuff and it has a MacViking card going to a male DB9 port in the back. It says "c 1987 by Moniterm Corp" and there's also a sticker that says "Viking 1 & 2400 Controller for the Mac SE." I can't find much info about it anywhere - I'm assuming it's a video...

As I posted on FB, but I'm posting here so it doesn't fade into oblivion... Somebody posted some fun things to do with your networked-vintage Mac a while back on FaceBook, which I totally stole and have since added to. So if you're that guy, sorry I don't remember your name but thanks for...
