For a nicely improved video experience you might try to snatch a PDS graphics adapter (look at our List of video cards). In combination with a commslot ethernet adapter you could …

Your forearm tendons will be grateful for the Orbit

I have to agree, the PB1xx series are my favourite machine to work on, take the two case pieces apart and everything's right in front of you. Speaking of replacing the LCD pane…

Hi, In a recent post I commented on having to strip down my Powerbook 2400c to replace a scratched/dim LCD panel with one I purchased on eBay for .99c many moons ago. I finally g…

Get the smallest soldering iron you can. Click to expand... I would offer quite different advice. To get this particular connector to solder properly requires a fairly robust i…

The post was spam (as you rightly pointed out) and was hence removed, the user banned, etc. The spam bot in question was indeed a clever one. Although the three posts it made didn'…

I use to play Falcon 4.0 over appletalk on a couple of Quadra 950's back in the day. Anyway I could get a copy of that from you? ;D

I'm asking all of the mods. I don't know which mod did it. It just seems kind of fishy. Maybe send me a message next time as a courtesy, you know? "Hey, thanks for the lead on th…

Don't ask us, ask ~tl - he's the one who did it, to my knowledge.

Because they were no longer necessary, i'd imagine. If it were its own thread they may have remained, but it was a thread that also happened to be for a legitimate new member. To a…

I made two posts here exposing a recently registered user to be a spammer: viewtopic.php?f=1&t=10574 The spammer's post, as well as my two posts, were removed from the thr…

Picked these up at the HAAUG swap meet last weekend. I offered them all cash, but all refused. I'm puzzled by people's lack of appreciation for high quality classic games, but at…

The tape trick only tells the drive (and OS) that it is dealing with double-density media, and only works reasonably well if the disk has never, ever been formatted or otherwise wr…

Do you by any chance have a Mac running OSX 10.4 or earlier? By taping over the hole on a 1.44mb disk you should be able to make a fake 800kb disk and put Apple's image on there, t…

Get the smallest soldering iron you can. Put a dab of new solder to get a nice shiny look on the solder. Just DON'T DO WHAT I DID. Make sure you have a desoldering tool, in case yo…

Mac128, I'd be happy to test out how the channels are working later this week. If someone could be as kind to a) let me know what type of stereo file i'm making for a system 7.1 m…

The SE's over in the IT department at the moment. The IT systems administrator said it "bought back a lot of memories" so I let them keep it for the night.

Sorry, my bad, you need a long Torx T15. Here are some helpful hints from the Classic Mac Repair PDF: Obviously, it’s very dangerous to work on the innards of any line-powe…

Thanks Guys (or Gals?) I had an brain-wave and tried the Norton Utility Emergency Disc - it booted beautifully (if painfully slowly), I asked it to search the SCSI network, and it…
