If its the insulation around the high voltage components breaking down, the problem will be related to humidity rather than temperature.

How do you add a new page? Edit: Never mind, I figured it out.

Stage 1 What I propose here is a stand alone App. Just so a person can move around in a room and maybe do stuff. Coded to run as low-end as possible, that way it won’t keep peop…

Okay, an iBook is out, so…what would it actually take? And I don't mean to reinvent the LC. For the sake of argument, say we've got the bones of a generic laptop. And all it's b…

Maybe stuff like that could go in a 68kmla.org/wiki/Articles/The_name_of_the_page with /wiki/Articles being an index? Click to expand... Generally speaking, we shouldn't have s…

I think it is very disorganized and hard to find many things of value (sorry but I do). Does anyone else feel this way? :?: Click to expand... Certainly there are a lot of a…

Yes, I suppose we should modify the 68kMLA Wiki instead of making a new one (at least now I don't have to host it) but I don't like the layout of the wiki very much. I think it is…

I turned on the Plus again today. When I flipped the power switch, there was the startup bong and, I'm happy to say, no loud fizzling! However, when I put my ear close to the mac…

I will volunteer to write descriptions of educational software programs for 68K Macs, including how they can be used in a modern setting and can meet the educational focus of today…

Yeah we should put more effort into the wiki... I made the expansion card and ethernet pages with help from JRL.

Why do we need a second Wiki for this? Surely it's better to concentrate the effort on one to avoid having to do the same work done. A lot of the ground work is done on the MLA Wik…

Um.... What about the 68kMLA Wiki?

Good IDEA!

What if there was a wiki about old macs where we combined Jag's House, Gamba, and others links into one place to make finding info easier? It would be similar to the 68kMLA wiki b…

There's some issues with it due to hardware incompatibilities (I think it's based off the SAM440ep install disc), but it'd be fun to at least get some form of AmigaOS4 running on a…

While you're trying out stuff, you could also give the hacked AmigOS 4.0 install CD that works on the G4 Mac Mini a go. See how well it works. I got it off your server so you shoul…

All you are doing is taking off the very thin layer of yellowed exposed surface, which after a few years will yellow again anyway. The bad part is you can expose blotchyness and mo…

It really is worth it. Click to expand... I concur.

If you turn the computer on with the back removed in a darkened room, can you see a blue electrical discharge ("corona discharge") around the top of the EHT transformer? If so, th…

Follow-up in a year or two, and then maybe I'll consider if there's still no reports of brittleness or cracking. Click to expand... What's with the continued fears here? To me…

No, I haven't seen any evidence of that. The screen's bright and clear; there was no wobble at all, as far as I could tell. If a deaf man were to start up the Plus, he would perc…

thats not really fair, an extra year or 2 on already decomposing ~20 year old plastic Its just removing a thin film of chemicals that have already leeched out of the plastic onto …

For the skeptics and hold-outs... CAN RETROBRIGHT REALLY MAKE PLASTICS BRITTLE? If the plastic had become dangerously brittle due to RetroBright deyellowing, you would expect that…
