Any chance of selling the TiBook cheap? I have been wanting a TiBook for a while... Click to expand... Uh... There's no TiBook. There are a couple G3s, and an Aluminum G4. A…

As my first post said, I tried adjusting focus control - it did nothing. I will replace R26 as Trag told me: "R26 is a 1 M ohm, 1/2 watt 5% resistor on the analog board." But is…

That sounds like one to keep an eye out for. Back when I bought my first Mac, I picked up (retail) a copy of Peachpit Press' Macintosh Bible (third or fourth edition?) That book …

Well, that was a productive bit of archaeology!

I experimented with the image a little bit. It looks like the disk trashes itself somewhat after you first play it, as far as I can tell. While AppleWin can continue to work with…

Hello, I really appreciate it if someone can help me get this game running on my Apple II gs. The URL link to download the page and see what the game is, right here: http://www.ro…

Digi-Key lists Fairchild BU406FS-ND TO-220 pkg at 68 cents. Going with an original might be a safer bet. Larry Pina says avoid ECG379, it can cause left side screen foldback issu…

Several years ago I bought a small lot of transistors on Ebay that the seller had billed as BU406, but they turned out to be a mixture of Samsung (SEC) 13007F 2 and Motorola F13007…

Alright, in my cleaning effort, (nearly) all of my PowerBooks have been dug out. I have found the following: Macintosh Portable, Backlit: Dead. Documented in my sale thread. (A…

What a coincidence! My local goodwill happens to have a copy of Macworld Mac Secrets 5th Edition. (Don't know if the CD was with it.) Though as far as I know they're not having …

Woah! Nice collection there alk!

Apart from the LCD, what's "souped up"? Click to expand... The LCD is nice, sure. The PowerBook Mustang is somewhere between a 5300 and a 1400. (Interestingly, my copy of "Ap…

"Secrets" is by far the best Mac book out there. It covers all those things the other books don't and includes some pretty detailed historical reference sections. The software is a…

. . . circa 1999, List Price: $49.99 . . .Complete WITH the original CD! 8-o This is just perfect for my OS 9.2 lifestyle! Snagged it at Goodwill, just now, on the way t…

By chance a friend dropped by with a broken SE today, giving me an excuse to open one up. There is indeed a focus control. Have you tried adjusting it? If it has no effect, then fo…

One issue with even introducing PPC G1-era Macs is that because they have so much more capability, there could be a tendency for them to dominate retrochallenge. Considering I keep…

Hi Gary, Did your tech check R26 to see if it is shorted or open? I ask because I've seen this exact problem on three or four Mac Pluses and Pina's recommendation to check the c…

the old ones are pretty easy to develop for, so instead of killing people all day you could make math blaster for intellivision or maybe a telnet client on a atari 2600

games system wise - what would people be doing with them? playing space invaders for a month instead of call of duty?

I would say anything pre 3d

I dunno- I think that's pushing it. Pre-Pentium sounds about right to me. As for game systems, make the cutoff be by bit count on the main processor. 8 bit, say. That would keep th…

We'll see how the CPU swap goes before I decide on overclocking. I actually have a Q605 and an LC475 as well as two 68040 donor machines, so I have some room for error. My end goal…

Christmas came sort of early for me this year, well last year now. I gots my hands on a 17 inch iMac (G4/800), a snow iBook (G3/800), and a Bondi iMac (G3/233). The Bondi's drive…
