Thank you!! Both good reads, and the best find was the wiring diagram for the management cable 😁

Thank you!! The firmware file is super important, that's what got mine going again. Not that anyone asked, but leaving a few troubleshooting tips here in case it helps anyone in the future: -A SCSI cable works between the punch down block and the StarController (if you don't have the original...

Check the log on the SD card for any indication of fragmentation. I had one SD card full of images that sped up significantly after a reformat and re-copy of the drive images.

Amazing, thank you so much! Appreciate the effort you have put into all the documentation on your site too, it has saved a lot of frustration!

Hello! In the midst of collecting a bunch of LocalTalk stuff, and found a Star Controller for $10 on a random surplus sales site. Let's hope it actually shows up! Now to acquire 36,000 feet of telephone wire...😅 However - I can't find the Star Command software anywhere. It's not on the Garden...

Total shot in the dark, but could an old abandonware version of Adobe Premiere convert it to something else within the OS 9 environment?

Has the 9 pin geoports so that's a power Mac board from a 5400/5500/6400/6500. Nice!

You can try downloading the "Legacy Recovery" iso CD image from Macintosh garden on your G3, and then browse the disc by computer model to make install floppies with diskcopy 6.x. 7.5 should work fine, but it will also point you to the right version of 7.1. You will need to install any old...

Not that I could tell - there was a 5 digit code that I can check but no obvious brand. Here's a pic

The inside metal contact that touches the outside of the barrel doesn't have any spring left in it. I did see your other thread and am debating going down that path, thank you for posting that process! This probably came from some flight of fancy about using USB C to power it, plus the ability...

Hello! This thread has been super helpful as inspiration to tackle a 5300c battery related project. Thank you jmacz and others here! So, I've got a broken barrel jack (resoldering only solved half the problem) and am thinking about how to provide power from the wall through a 'fake' battery. I...

If it's not totally borked, there is a secret paperclip eject hole (and apologies if you already tried that) https://support.apple.com/zh-cn/HT2225

Been thinking a lot lately about what would max out an ADB port. Mostly for silly reasons as I collect random input devices, but also there seems to not be much out there to simplify the ADB equation for non-engineers like myself! I guess my biggest question is: how easy is it to fry an ADB...

Don't forget about the Mac Chimney for a convective cooling boost!

Thank you for sharing these, I ordered the open version from Shapeways and it fits like a glove! Almost did the CD one with the button, but wanted the versatility of the wide open one. Will get around to painting it soon, but the texture is perfect. Thank you!!

This is great, thank you for sharing! Can finally take a crack at having it be more than just an appletalk bridge. TIL it has a battery, and just jumped out of my chair to make sure it hadn't leaked since I haven't used it in like 20 years. Thankfully a tadiran survivor!

I saw that listing, but was sad it didn't have the PC card! Nice score though. Looked like it had a comm slot Ethernet card and two PCI Ethernet cards 😅 hope the HD has a story to tell! Haven't seen the special PC card for the 4400 pop up anywhere in a long while.

Works great and has just confirmed how much logic board recapping I have in my near future 🙃 Thanks for making these and offering them up!

Just got one from your shop, excited to give it a try on a few IIcis I've got around with fishy PSUs!

WOW!! Another one saved!
