yea we have a vga lcd with that resolution at work, heck even getting windows XP to work with it is a bear and i never really found proper monitor drivers for it is is clipped and …

It arrived ten years after the 128K and was called the Lacie ADB FM Tuner. It was powered by ADB and used whatever amplifier system was available.

Jeez .... I had absolutely ZERO idea that the FCC wouldn't allow a Macintosh computer with a radio built in lol :b&w:

sometimes you can pull or angle and pull on cases while trying to back the screw out, effectively pinching it enough so it can unscrew

I assume that a feature like that would not have been consistent with Apple's desired image for the Macintosh. If you look at all their old ads, they touted it as a revolutionary …

Finally got around to putting in the stripy insert I bought from iColours to customize my iBook G3 600. Alas, I was only able to get one of the screws out to open up the lid. The o…

... if the Macintosh 512K computer came with an AM/FM/SW radio built in. A coax jack on the back -- near the powerswitch -- for you to plug the included, rubbertipped telescope an…

Is is a dedicated Computer Monitor or some kind of "Flat Panel TV" with VGA input? In the latter case, overscan is likely to be the culprit, and not anything to do with your approp…

That would make sense to me. "Pimped out" and "OS 9" don't really go together anymore. Click to expand... The G4 is pimped out. I suppose the Mac OS 9 install is just ordinary…

That would make sense to me. "Pimped out" and "OS 9" don't really go together anymore.

I just bought a new VGA Flat panel with a native resolution of 1366x768 for use with my "pimped out" 1.7 GHz Gigabit G4 for Mac OS 9 use. The right 6 pixel columns are not being d…

I was afraid the speed might be an issue.

I had no idea the transfer rates were so high Click to expand... IBM PC's, even with an 8088 (wow!) used a DMA controller for floppy disk because of the data rates. You could j…

IWM in the Macintosh is similar but not identical to the Apple ][ controller. There's a / device out there that emulates a physical floppy drive and works with the Apple ][ / calle…

Incidentally, you can make your own view new posts URL that excludes other parts of the forum (or, more properly speaking, only includes certain parts of the forum) by mucking arou…

That can be simplified a bit by enabling the sub-forum search option (&sc=1) since phpBB doesn't distinguish between forums and categories – so the forums listed on the ind…

This seems to work, the major drawback being that changes to the forum may break it. Code: http://68kmla.org/forums/search.php?fid[]=1&fid[]=3&fid[]=4&a…

This is probably a "doable" project, but it's going to involve at least some hardware. (IE, I don't think you'll be able to get away with just a cable linking bare pins on the para…

You could do a really crude approach where you actually format the "disk" using the Macintosh and simply record the output signal at a suitable resolution, it's still a digital sig…

Perhaps a combination of a parallel port and a soundcard for the analogue waveform. Sounds horrendous, but it would be a good stepping stone on the way to a microcontroller based …

A floppy port is expecting to talk to spinning media with sectors and tracks and critical signalling and timing. It's expecting to receive a waveform taken directly from the read …

Try looking up information on the Apple II disk controller, then find out what the differences between that and a Mac are. If I recall correctly, they are quite similar.
