Don't forget to binhex or Mac binary your files before transferring, or you'll lose the Resource Fork. Click to expand... I got a FTP connection between MacBook and vintage Mac…

I use Fetch 3.0.3 on my LC and turn on FTP on my OS X Mac. Don't forget to binhex or Mac binary your files before transferring, or you'll lose the Resource Fork.

Unfortunately, and somebody may swoop in to correct me on this, I think Mac OS 10.6 removes most of the old appletalk features. If you have a TCP/IP stack on the LC, your best bet…

I do not have a video camera although i do have a Samsung VCR330 http://downloadcenter.samsung.com/content/EM/200603/20060329170551109/EN/main.html and I want to copy from the VC…

Thanks JRL, I will wait until New Years Eve so that I can maybe get a second official boot in for the 2000-2009 decade. That makes a total of at least a good 8 days in dry winter…

Yeah, I am familliar with BeBits ( Although, haikuware is news to me). "Back in the day" I used to use BeOS as my daily operating system (Sadly not on a BeBox *tear* ). Haiku is go…

So, I ended up installing Haiku Alpha 1 on it, works good, but its only temporary ( I will not use wondows for the life of me) Click to expand... I had Haiku on my Eee for a bi…

Tom's hit the nail on the head... just remember to pop in an "official" entry via the web site.

The failure to power up may be caused by corrupt NVRAM brought on by a flat battery, as the earlier posters suggest. However, the crashing you experienced is probably a heat sink…

Would anyone be willing to work on cap replacement on Mac Plus analog boards? If not I may just have to teach myself how to fix these things and start a service of my own. I love…

I believe that in previous years, this sort of set up has been acceptable. The main thing about the 'Challenge isn't the arbitrary rules, it's having some fun with old hardware tha…

I'm thinking of entering the Retrochallenge with a little project of my own: to not only get my LCIII (my very first computer) on the Internet for the first time, but also to use i…

Ah that sucks that Rhapsody probably won't work :-( Also, agg23 I am already a member of that forum, my username there is macusr

Speaking of Rhapsody, myself and a few other people are working on a free Rhapsody OS. We also have support forums for Rhapsody as well (Apple's versions). We haven't achieved mu…

Just to warn you, Rhapsody is *VERY* picky with its hardware. Your board uses a VIA chipset, so likely will not work with Rhapsody. (Rhapsody officially dropped Intel support bef…

Update: My daughter LOVES Math Rabbit. I think I'll have to find some other vintage age-appropriate games for her. Maybe I'll get her started on LOGO Turtle, and get her programm…

Nice score, I got a ][gs back in june but haven't been able to use it (TVs make terrible composite monitors). The one time I did use it, the power supply was making noises.

For $40 CAD I got a Pentium 3 850MHz, 256MB ram, and 20GB HD, with a 17" viewsonic flat CRT monitor. I am going to install Linux on this beast, or Rhapsody. Pictures: http://yfro…

and get rid of that damn color classic board lol Click to expand... Just my opinion, but I reckon it would be a good idea to keep the original board in case you ever decide to…

It's actually a good idea to wait several more days. There is a good chance that while it may seem dry, it may not actually be really dry.

I finally cleaned my IIci motherboard. I used a large diameter bucket with Alconox detergent mixed with warm water. It really brightened things up. It worked so well actually th…

Would love to see some photos of the 500 if you get a chance. I don't know this model, is it like the form factor of the 520 and 540 ("Blackbird") models? Click to expand... Th…
