My Mac Classic has a bad logic board so I've decided to use it for a Mini-ITX case mod. I have 2 ideas on how to approach this, but I can't decide whether I should focus on easier future upgrades, or reversibility: Easier future upgrades - I would build a Mini ITX bracket to fit the ITX board...

I've always loved the looks of the Quicksilver G4 and hated the looks of PC cases. When it came time to build a new PC, I decided I would do what several before me have done - build one into a Quicksilver G4 case. Around 2006, I bought a complete, but gutted Quicksilver case from eBay. I'm...

I bought a broken Mac Classic for a Mini ITX project. I plugged it in just to see what it would do. Blank screen, DOA. I could hear something knocking around inside. What could it be? Oh, I see what it was, a really nasty PRAM battery! Its juice had dissolved the entire holder off of the...

I download the System 6.0.8.sea.bin files from the Apple website, then used Stuffit in OS X Lion to unpack them to "System Startup" and "System Addition" files. I wasn't able to figure out how to use Disk Utility in OS X to make a floppy, so I copied them to my PC and tried to write them to...

I picked up a nice example of a vintage Apple Extended Keyboard II. No yellowing, looks very nice, but the key movement feels a little gritty, not smooth. Is there a good fix for this? From my understanding, this has the same style keyswitches as my old Apple IIGS keyboard had, and that one...

I'm running Leopard 10.5.5 and using an old Apple Keyboard II with Griffin iMate plugged into USB. It works perfectly, but does anyone know if it's possible to simulate F-keys via some kind of key combination? I seldom need F-keys, but I'd like to know if it's possible just in case I should...

THE FIRST COMPUTER IN THE WORLD Pay special attention to the starting bid. ;)

I've been curious what it would take to convert a B&W Mac Classic to grayscale and VGA with the ORIGINAL CRT and analog board. I haven't really been able to find many details on how the Color Classic VGA mod works, it seems all that's required to support a 31.5kHz horizontal scanning...
