Yeah! It kills me when this happens.

So, Dog Cow, how does this saga end? You can't just leave us hanging!

Thanks for the info. My Mac projects will have to be on hold for a bit as I approach graduation in mid May. I am very busy with that and preparing to find a job, plus the 6 class…

http://www.jasik.com/index.html MacNosy is actually still sold. I thought it was not so expensive, but it is $225. However, given that it has been around since either 1984 or 19…

Thank you again. I appreciate the help. If you would like to share your background, I would enjoy reading about it. It sounds as if you may have interesting experience in worki…

Nice score! I got my original beige plus from a Lyons club (junk) store a while back. $5 with a keyboard and mouse. Even though it's power unit has since failed, it's still being t…

The big advantage of a 40MHz bus, so I hear, is that it puts it into lockstep with the 10MHz Nubus. This has been alleged elsewhere to improve Nubus performance.

It is often mentioned in articles that describe how to directly access the VRAM (indeed, such articles are the first hits for "swapmmumode quickdraw" in Google), because in that ca…

MacNosy.

Yes, I would like to do some disassembly but I don't have the proper tools right now. I would appreciate if you could point me toward this software you mentioned if you can rememb…

Use crazy glue and stick the ripped off pad back to the board, let dry. Put a small drop of flux in the crack between the traces and solder a bridge, then solder the capacitor to t…

There is no point to downclocking the CPU - the G3 upgrade is independant of the existing CPU itself (that is, it is not used), nor are you going to "cook" the existing 601 CPU (it…

Dennis, I think it looks great! That's a nice mod. Useful too, if you start modifying the ROM code. Are you thinking about doing any disassembly? I ran across mention of a dis…

Luckily, Apple derived a solution to this when it created 32-bit QuickDraw, and it is quite simple. Every time 32-bit QuickDraw access VRAM in the slot space, it uses a trap (SwapM…

just scrape some soldermask off of the trace with a knife and be careful

Well, I tried recapping and, of course, one of the pads came off. I now have three useless LC motherboards. { "lightbox_close": "Close", "lightbox_next": "Next", …

I actually just ordered a CF-IDE adapter. Apparently these work very well in the 2300c. CF to SCSI would be a bit of a trick. Maybe I should look into that one for 280c owners.

Glad to hear you finally got the beast up and running. Click to expand... Well, I didn't get to enjoy it for long. I packed it all up and got it shipped off to the "storage fac…

Here's another idea: build a card that replaces the HDD with a CF or SD card, wifi and bluetooth... and then send me two of them for testing purposes ;-) There are cards like th…

If you ever get that working, I'd happily pay far-too-much for one, if my budget even remotely permits. (Sadly, right now, my budget for such things is ZERO.)

Glad to hear you finally got the beast up and running. The last time Rufus the cat caught an early morning mouse, he left the severed head on the floor in my room for my eve…

Ding ding. We have a winner. I have some friends who DO have the hardware hacking skills. Basically, I want to build an ethernet adapter into a floppy adapter's chassis, and use s…

I imagine he means something that I have long wondered about hacking: Use the floppy adapter *SOLELY* for the PDS dock connector and shell, and rig up an Ethernet chip (a la the o…

Whu? How do you imagine you are going to get WiFi from a floppy adapter?
