. . . were in a portable plastic holder's box, seemed heavy. KBD seems good, Trackpad has AA corrosion death syndrome. Already used a 1/2" drill bit to remove the core of the first AA. Looked on eBay and there's no point to making any more mess. Are there even drivers in Linux or Win10 for...

I'm curious what's in yours now and what other card you'd install if you had a second slot available? ATM I'm experimenting with a USB card and a Rage 128 Pro pushing 1920x1080 out the back along with the onboard Video in my 6360. Prototype TwinSlot cards still need a bit of tweaking, but...

I've got a test rig that'll boot Alchemy and Gazelle boards, but not my AIO 5500 sub-variant of Gazelle. Does it fail to POST due to lack of internal CRT hookup or might there be another issue with this particular board? If display is indeed the problem, will it POST with the external...

It's Alchemy Architecture, not Gazelle in which this card is problematic without the Great Gazelle PCI Fix. Makes no sense to me unless some PCI equivalent of DeclROM in a NuBus Mac is present? Any suggestions?

PSU_A - Can it be identified from these pics? Any other method? Need to take better pics of PSU_ C & PSU_D FAN threw Autofocus off badly.

Deletion of the Twiggy drive in 128K prototyping with substitution of the Sony 3.5" FDD was the root cause of a multitude of cooling/longevity issues for the Compact series.** Sheet metal enclosure on the Shugart 5.25" Drive Mechanism***** based Twiggy drive created a chimney effect...

. . . hopefully! Start of this project was info about the anemic TAM PSU issue from many sources, here, Tinkerdifferent, WWW and ThinkClassic back in that day. Was working on putting together a better Initial Post, but what the heck . . . just chuck it out to the pack of wolves! :p...

I've long suggested contacting woz to see if he'd release (or recreate) SWIM for the community: We're of an age and thinking it might be a significant addition to his legacy. He's far deep into education and tech talent development thru woz.org. So thinking would be that giving folks young and...

I've got an empty PowerBook Duo in need of a complete rebuild with current LCD. CM4 setup won't fit, that one's going into my original, bought new PowerBook 100.

When in clutzomatic mode, it's a wonderful thing to have your nylon thingies color coded. Waldo's family is cream colored 4-40 and the rest are M3. The stainless hardware remains problematic . . . . . . so it goes.:rolleyes:

Internal SCSI CDs were customarily SCSI ID3, the Mac/Boot Drive was ID0. Was there an Apple convention for internal SCSI Zip Drives?

. . . at least I think I pulled out one of the Naked Blue Cells I bought new in the 20Kteens? Gotta find the baggie, definitely wasn't MAXELL anyway. At any rate, if you have the plain Blue 1/3AA cells, pull 'em! Never seen one of these fail before. Been trying to get at every machine to...

Wondering if a hookup or workaround for running an external antenna lead outside the RFI shielding of a Mac is a possibility? Running the lead to a wire type antenna in a PowerBook lid might be ideal? RFI shielding of a Duo's HDD bay can be tucked underneath, but dunno about other 'Books Also...

I've got a "magical" video cable that supports any resolution chosen in the Monitors Control Panel from my 6360 or VidCard. No VGA adapter is required for a change! ISTR using it with Beige G3 and a couple of others. Has anyone got links handy for building them?

I've got a case with 3 PWM fans and an incompatible (Beige G3) logic board. I'd like two fans to run off a power level a step below the third in any combination of the three voltages available on an ITX PSU. Does this amount to a simple hotwire kluge or do they need a controller to function?

Ran across this somewhere on the web and couldn't resist saving it: It can't stand on its own, but stomping this thing would be great! Bonus points for printing its mouse held in the left hand. Size the whole thing to the perfect LCD and Pi the snot outta' the PC? Flattening the toe to...

Found three sticks of 64MB EDO MEMORY RAM ECC UNBUFF 60NS DIMM 168-pin 3.3v in the HackHutch with the speaker and such. I think I got it to max out this G3 or did I buy it for something else maybe? Anybody know offhand if this is the right stuff?? I've got a couple of stripped out towers with...

Haven't seen much of this information documented online. Marchintosh project was restarting my bare board PEx in Netrat 1125 4U TeleCom Server casement project. So took a careful look at its 9500 stand in/donor case bits and the specs for the 9600. This is what I found: Technical observations...

MacPortrait appears to max out at ancient TPD resolutions. Is there a current solution? Windows and Ubuntu have had me spoiled for the longest. :rolleyes: The last time I ran a second screen in that orientation on a Mac it was the Macintosh Portrait Display on the 2300c/DuoDock+ next to the...

While I was trying to get drivers installed for the new VidCard, I started to play with RAM sticks to try to pinpoint the system memory check error that cropped up on every boot. First thing I tried was pulling the stick from J20 and the error went away! Still reported 1.5MB available as it had...
