I'm fairly sure most PowerBooks can do that - if I have an external monitor/keyboard/mouse on my PowerBook 1400, and I press the power key on the external keyboard with the lid clo…
Well, this was totally unexpected. I'm in the process of changing the layout of my room. I decided to arrange my desk so that I place my Pismo on the rolling shelf, more suited f…
There were also iMac desk clocks by Mesonic that had FM radios built in. They weren't an iMac accessory but instead looked like miniature iMacs. It had a clock, calendar, and therm…

Well, since my reason for doing it is frivolous, I don't want to do anything drastic. I think the only way to get them out would be with a teeny-weeny drill.
I asked at the closes…
I know this is a little old and disregard if you already have it working, but I did this to load leopard onto my emac
take the hdd out and put it in another apple (or external wha…
I had absolutely ZERO idea that the FCC wouldn't allow a Macintosh computer with a radio built in

It isn't a matter of the FCC allowing it or otherwise. It …
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…
I had no idea the transfer rates were so high

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.

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.
