I have been working to get my battlestation networked in hopes to get some Bolo going. On my IIci, Color Classic, PB180, and SE Bolo works great. On the Classic, I am getting an address error and bomb when I open Bolo. I replaced the hard drive with a bluescsi and a zuluscsi and it is...

I have recently setup all my old macs in my office at work and the tried and true way of moving files via floppy is not working due to some of the drives being 4 decades old and needing maintenance. I connected my IIci and Color Classic with a printer cable and was moving files and dug through...

I have been reading quite a bit about how certain G4 chips are pin compatible with G4 chips. This got me thinking... I have a 1.33Ghz 12 inch powerbook that is parts only, a dead Mac Mini G4 1.25Ghz, and a dead Mac Mini G4 1.42 Ghz. I have. a Yikes G4 and a Pismo that could both benefit from...

I am getting ready for an old school network party for my employees at the end of the year. I am finding myself in a pinch point I have not experienced before - I do not have enough keyboards and mice. I do have two Wombats, and I love them. This got me thinking though, it would be cool to...

Hey everyone, I need some help figuring out how to make this happen. This year for my Christmas party at work, I want to setup a Net Trek and Wagon Trail 1848 network game between my IIci, Mac SE, Mac Classic, and Mac Color Classic. I know I will need to do the serial local talk, but my...

I got my dad's old IIcx and have been trying to bring it back to life. I re-capped and there was a fair amount of goo near the capacitors, but no battery bomb. I have de-soldered and cleaned and re-soldered anything near the caps, but it's not working. After getting my multi meter out, I am...

So I have a little collecting beige boxes problem. My dad's first (and my first) computer is a IIcx. He had a processor riser card added to give it a cache slot where he then installed a Mobius Speedster. I still have the IIcx. While reconnecting with this hobby, I decided to recap my old IIci...

About 9 months ago, my wife and I adopted our son. This has been the biggest life change I have experience so far, and I found myself doing an interesting type of nesting. I found myself worried about my son getting online and ruining his brain, so my line of thinking was I'd be better off...

I am starting to plan for Christmas, and I want to upgrade my IIci some more. I have more RAM than I need. I have an 040 accelerator on the way, a couple of zuluscsi adapters - 1 internal, 1 external slim for networking and CD images. I am thinking a video card is next, but I know the nubus...

I will start by stating - I know this is a stupid request and using any sort of Quadra would be easier, cheaper, or whatever. My late father had a IIcx that was modified with a CPU riser to have a Mobius Speedster with an LC'040 chip on it. Unfortunately, I have lost that accelerator to time...

I have a dead IIcx and a working IIci. I found a Centris 650 online, but the case is destroyed. The pictures show the power light on - is that enough to determine if it has been battery bombed or not?

My father passed away in May of 2020. My mother has finally started to clean out some of his old things including the PowerMac G4 he used for his business. I now work a career in IT, but this computer was the first one I was ever paid to repair, and being my fathers, it also held an incredible...

I was looking for a replacement Mobius Speedster that was in my Dad's old IICX and found that MicroMac's website is still up. Does anyone know if they are still around or will my order form just go into a black hole of identity theft?

A friend of mine gifted his late father's Macintosh SE FD/HD. I tried power it on and got error codes of 0000000E and 000002FF and was able to determine two issues. One was a bad RAM stick, and the other was a missing jumper on the motherboard. I have now gotten the friendly beep and...

I want my dual core dos macihne to be an AIO unit, so I was wondering if this would be possible. As far as I can tell, the connectors are the same and boards are the same size. Any thoughts?

I found this guy in my home town with a bunch of DOS cards, and I picked one up cheap. I have no idea where to get the software for it though!!! Point me in the right direction please?

I am running OS X on my PB G3 Lombard and it needs a G4. I know there are upgrades for it out there, but I can't find one for the life of me that wouldn't require a government bailout to buy. Anyone got one that they are willing to sell or know where to find one?

is there any way add os 9 permissions after os x is already installed? or can i add a partition after the drive is formatted?

I have two mac minis, both are G4. When i plug one in, the fan just turns on. The other one does nothing when plugged in or when the power button is pressed. Any ideas what could be wrong?

I have a powerlogix powerforce g3 and my computer wont boot with it installed. It still boots with the orignal processor. The powerlogix was previously installed into a beige g3 and another B&W, but running bus speeds of 67mhz. Mine is running at the full 100 which is why I want to use...
