I have started work on a project to emulate the floppy drive used in the original Macintosh. My goal is a device which is plug compatible with the Apple external 400KB floppy driv…

I used a Performa 400 (same form factor) as a monitor prop back when I used a CRT. They work great for that sort of thing.

My Q605 running NetBSD does take about 45 seconds to pop out SSH keys. However, it has a 25MHz full '040, so ...

The eMac 9.2.2 disc is a good one. The version I have has Mac OS ROM 10.1.1, which is one of the highest versions. I don't think any bootable, 9.2.2 install discs have the higher 1…

In my experience, passive matrix screens can have leaked caps, causing screen issues such as a faint display/occasional "yellow-out" issues. I had it happen to a PowerBook 140 and …

I had the tunnel vision/darkening corners fault on a Duo 280 greyscale. i think that's a fault in the LCD itself rather than the backlight, but I am open to better information.

The only issue I have run into is on an old Powerbook 170. It suffered from black corners of the LCD when on for a long period of time. All my other powerbooks work fine. Mind y…

Having several modern CCFL backlit LCDs that have gone dim, I'm wondering how well the 68k portables' LCDs hold up to age. What are some of the common problems, and what should on…
