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…

Depends on the nature of the "fizzling" sound. Could be a grounding problem. If the sound reoccurs, try opening it up and loosening and retightening the grounding plate screws and…

That's sort of the case with my Performa 578. Except, the fizzling sound stops when you have an active window open on the desktop - if you don't, then the fizzling sound returns.

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…

PowerPCs do boot from USB. I have used an external DVD Drive and they all have booted perfectlty.

Hi all, I know at some point I've seen some youtube video of a problem like this, so I thought I'd run this by you guys. Last night I decided to turn on my Macintosh Plus. Howev…

it is confusing over here in Japan because there are various grades of Oxydol Click to expand... I think I may finally have a grasp as to why the Japanese require a license to …

According to my research, the G4 Mini requires 10.4. At this point I'm not sure if I'll bother with that or just get linux back on there. Seems that whichever method I choose I'll …

I upgraded my USB Overdrive and it supports a lot more devices Click to expand... I'll give it a go at my Kensington Turbo Mouse on the far side of a USB-ADB adapter and report…

Unfortunately, 10.5 killed the nostromo. Click to expand... I could have sworn that my friend had his working on his G5 running 10.5. However that was an n52 and not the origin…

I had two SCSI hand scanners a few years ago. Those were very weird devices.

The only other ADB device I could use would be a hand scanner or webcam. Click to expand... I don't think either of those would work over ADB very well. The QuickCam barely wo…

I was looking for a while until I found one just for shipping ($ 8) . Seems like quite a few come without pens making them useless or people jack up shipping too much to bother. Ki…

Whack the drive into a PC and run Maxtor's DOS diagnostics. Skip the tests and run the low level formatter which will take about two hours. At the end of it you'll know whether the…

Click to expand... Wow, I never knew anyone else who used a Nostromo! I bought one for WoW originally, but the command overlay also made me a lot more 'productive' at general Find…

Do NOT use fingernail polish remover (acetone). It will probably slime the paint off, but it will deform the plastic too. Some cheap spray paint won't bond to plastic, hardly at …

Never did like the pen/tablet combo for use as a general pointing device, so I never even tried to develop a command overlay. I used a Nostromo SpeedPad for programmed command keys…
