Any of us here into the case modding scene? I have a Macintosh SE FDHD here that shouldn't be too hard to get working again, looks like the HD is blown but that's all. The case ext…
This time I'm gonna binhex them on my classic Mac before archiving. I'll set them up on an FTP. Since they're all abandonware, it should be perfectly legal for you all to snag co…
Oh, I'd be happy to make images of the software. I have to do that again anyway because at one point I had made images of most of my vintage software, then I copied all my images …
I was looking at bare bones LCD panels, and I can find them for around $20 or so for an 800x600 panel. However, finding pinout information was impossible even from the manufacture…
Don't be. The first computer I remember growing up on was an IBM XT Which was only a few years old. That machine was so slow, it couldn't even play the games that came out just …
Wow! I'm always amazed when people keep their things so nicely. But it's so wonderful when they do, isn't it? Great haul!
I sure wish I'd bought an LC system back when I bought my…

Oh man, dunno. I have a Color Classic that I did my 640x480 mod on, I could stick my other upgrade card in there. I'm at work so my mind is racing over possibilities when I get h…

I don't really use my 8500 that much anymore. However, I downloaded your utility just in case I need it in the future and I wanted to make sure the documentation is as complete as …
So what he didn't mention in the description was:
The LC is in its own box, complete with all software, manuals, original cords, keyboard, mouse, and styrofoam inserts. The high r…

Eggs-actly. Avoid the wet-slug style tantalums when buying replacement caps. Nearly all caps you will find today are solid, but there are some of the old wet types in surplus catal…
Thanks for the correction, Henry.
While I have read about the old "wet slug" tants that do have fluid inside, for more than 15 years I have never (neither professionally nor in my…
Some tantalum caps have liquid electrolyte and some are solid. The liquid-filled ones may leak or dry out like aluminum Caps. The solid ones are very long lived.
I just got back and it's even cooler than I thought. I had trouble keeping my composure when I saw it, and I felt a little guilty walking out of the house with it. $10!!!! I…

... if there's anyone still interested.
Last evening I got the 9500 out again after having given up working on it for a month. In the month since then, a mouse had crawled into th…

The SCSI based systems are using the R-IDSC-E adapter linked to earlier, with my experiences…
Thank you, JDW.
Basically, $10 plus $20 plus the shipping cost to send it to me, which usually runs around $10 to $20 USD for those sending in the U.S. For international, it will…

Aside from getting a C language programming book, a book on doing 3D ef…

Well, not as quiet as a Fat Mac unless you have also taken out the fan. Which on an SE/30 might not be t…
I can attest to the first adaptor listed in your post above. It's the same I've used with great success for my "SSD in an SE/30"-project!
Please note; it's meant for full size HDD…
