I recently picked up a PowerBook 2400C that was upgraded to a G3/400mhz + 80mb of RAM, but was originally a (I believe) US 180mhz model. During my readings I remember hearing about modifying the 2400C to support cardbus cards, which involved cutting two wires on the board. I went for it...

Got an AppleCD SD that doesn’t seem to work. I took it apart to find that it didn’t have the usual leaky caps, however it also doesn’t seem to read CDs. Put in my Apple Legacy CD (the 7.6.1 variant) that I burned to find that it flashes the orange light up front twice before slowly spinning the...

See above. Curious on if there’s any support for booting off of these from the PowerBook 500 Series to the 2400C. If so, are there any specifics that should be known or will any work?

Recently picked up a PowerPC 540C from a friend, who had cut off the original power brick and replaced it with a generic 16V supply. I’m currently looking at his work and I’m curious on if I could just attach both the battery wires and the main power wires to the same 16v supply. I don’t think...

What’s the transformer/yoke-coil specs on the Macintosh XL Screen Kit? I’m trying to make a kit for my XL but can’t find anyone selling the transformer (or really any of the parts besides the main two roms).

Is there any way to mount a Profile (or any drive on the parallel ports) as an extra drive? Macworks XL doesn’t seem to detect them, but the drive does work.

I recently got a Koala MacVision from a ewaste haul (the first model). However, the cord on it has been cut. So far I’ve taken it apart and traced out the connections to the board, but I don’t exactly know how it would all be hooked up. Does anyone here have a MacVision they can get a pinout...

Does anyone here sell or have files for emulating a ProFile drive for an Apple Lisa? I have a dead Profile 5MB drive i'd like to convert over (doesn't go through full seek) but the two options I know of aren't the most desirable. IDEFile (or whatever) is pretty expensive and afaik isn't the best...

Anyone know about this crash? I have a LC580 that I swapped a PPC board into (I think a 6200 or 6300? It's 100mhz). Whenever I install Mac OS 8.1 (clean or upgrade), After Dark 4.0 doesn't ever enter sleep mode, and when I force it to sleep, the machine "hangs" (cursor is movable but can't...

I picked up a drawing tablet recently and noticed that my Quadra 950 only has one ADB port, instead of two. This leaves me with a bit of a situation, where I can either use my mouse and keyboard, or the drawing tablet and keyboard, because the drawing tablet doesn't have a passthrough. Are...

https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/powerup-v10 I found this software while going through a Macintosh Portable I bought. Most of the stuff has roughly 2013 dates, with a few exceptions like this file. Does anyone know more about it? It seems to be an early disk defrag / verifier / free space...

Does anyone here have a boot disk for the Portable that has CD support? Looking to use my Apple Legacy CD, but the Portable doesn't boot from CD.

Title says most of what I’m looking for. I’m looking for an era-accurate drawing tablet and scanner (SCSI or otherwise) for a Quadra 950. Preferably something with similar design language. I was originally going to pick up an Apple Onescanner but they seem to be pretty rare, especially...

During VCFW I picked up a LaserWriter IIg for free. When I first got it, I had the dual flashing paper jam and paper out lights, indicating that one problem that every Canon SX printer has, the “Error 50.” Naturally, I pulled the AC power supply board out and replaced the 22uf cap, along with...

Does anyone happen to have the manuals for the PowerLogix PowerForce G3? I want to try overclocking it, but can’t find anything about the round hex switches on top.

I’m having a weird vertical linearity issue with my Lisa after replacing the potentiometers in both the PSU (the brightness and focus) and also the video board 5 pots. The tube has also been swapped but switching back to original does not fix it. No amount of adjusting the vertical linearity...

What’s the best way to make Lisa disks? I had a hell of a time trying to make some working disks. I thought the Apple Legacy CD images would work but they didn’t (threw unformatted disk error on the Lisa), I tried images from online but StuffIt kept throwing an error when they were unpacked...

I have a Rev A FloppyEmu that i've used since forever. However, i've been having a weird issue with it, namely that the screen stopped working properly recently. It displays a blank screen unless i'm flashing firmware or the SD card is missing. I've tried flashing the different firmwares. The...

What's the best balance of boot speed (since Macs check the entirety of the RAM or something like that before boot) and RAM amount for a Quadra 950? I want to be able to download files from say, Mac Garden and Mac Rep, but I don't want to toss an entire 256MB kit in it and have it take a year...

Does anyone have the "CLD Access" program mentioned for Pioneer 6 disk changers? I can only find the ones that came with the later mac clones, which state to use "CLD Access."
