    Apps that support video capture from the "Wings" AV Personality Card (820-0971-A) for PowerMac G3 Beige?

    Hi all, There was an absurdly-priced eBay listing for this card ($170). After waiting two months, I finally talked the seller down to $55, which is a lot closer to what examples have sold for in the last 12 months (between $40-80). What are some OS 8-9 apps that support video capture from...

    Mac SE: system error when sound plays on very old games (but Mac is not frozen)

    I have a Macintosh SE FDHD and am attempting to play some older games off the floppy disks. The built-in 40 MB hard drive has System 7.1, but I can also boot from a floppy disk. One game that works perfectly is The Fool's Errand, which comes on two disks. The Game disk has a modified System...

    Under System 6, DaynaPORT Installer kept asking me to insert ... itself.

    I had a strange issue tonight trying to install the DaynaPORT SCSI/Link drivers to use with a BlueSCSI + PicoW on a Macintosh SE. The internal hard drive has System 7.1, but I also have a 6.0.8 volume on the BlueSCSI. Booting the SE from the 6.0.8 volume, I added the DaynaPORT 7.5.3...

    Running / compiling Mini vMac for Macintosh SE FDHD?

    I have a real Macintosh SE FDHD that boots and runs just fine. I have successfully used CopyRoms to dump the 256 KB ROM file to a floppy disk and have copied this back to the host Mac that's going to run mini vMac. The standard version of Mini vMac was compiled for a Macintosh Plus, and...

    Wrapped / sheathed 20-pin IDC ribbon cables? Easy or tedious DIY?

    I have a FloppyEmu and it has a flat 20-pin IDC ribbon cable. I don't love using a cable like this outside of a computer and would prefer using one that has been sheathed, or wrapped, in some kind of rubber. When I used to build PCs in the late 90s - mid-2000s, I bought most of my parts on...

    Repaired a Quantum 40 S full height drive with a stuck parked head!

    I would have posted my review of the MacEffects 68030 PDS accelerator for the Mac SE on Friday when it arrived, but my hard drive went on the fritz. Prior to installing the card, I ran MacBench with all the hard drive benchmarks, then shut down the SE and installed the card. On the next boot...

    Beige G3 chimes with no picture for a long time before showing grey screen and booting MacOS. Black screen duration is proportional to installed RAM.

    I have a beige G3 233MHz (Rev A? ROM $77D.40F2) that I picked up from someone locally. It had 96 MB of RAM, so I decided to upgrade it and install OS 9.0.4. When it has less RAM, the computer chimes and shows a black screen for maybe 10 seconds before going gray, then showing the happy Mac...

    How to delete second network interface after removing network device?

    What is the "correct" way to remove a network interface no longer installed in a System 7 Mac? How do you remove a second network interface from the system if you removed the physical network card? It's tripping up Apple Internet Router. I don't see an obvious extension for it either...

    LC III: internal speaker works intermittently when pressing on the external audio jack. Audio plays through external jack when connected.

    I have an LC III that boots and runs normally, but the internal speaker doesn't work. Well, at least I thought it didn't at first. External audio works; I heard the startup chime, quacks, and wild eeps through headphones. By accident I was pushing the headphone jack while turning it back on...
