Just get one of those damaged screw remover kits. Once you have the screw out, use a dremel to give it a slot across the top of the head so you can use a regular old flat head scre…

if you have a plastic coat hanger you can clip a piece off of it, cut it down to size, melt the end abit and let it cool while pressing on the screw head basically making a custom…

IIRC it is the wallstreet and PDQ that are not supposed to be run with the lid closed since they use the keyboard as part of the cooling system.

ha, i forgot about those, i have a "berry" one somewhere

Just be aware that the machine is not designed to run with the lid closed Click to expand... From the Pismo technote... The computer includes 8 MB of video memory, which…

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…

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 Click to expand... It isn't a matter of the FCC allowing it or otherwise. It …

It arrived ten years after the 128K and was called the Lacie ADB FM Tuner. It was powered by ADB and used whatever amplifier system was available.

Jeez .... I had absolutely ZERO idea that the FCC wouldn't allow a Macintosh computer with a radio built in lol :b&w:

sometimes you can pull or angle and pull on cases while trying to back the screw out, effectively pinching it enough so it can unscrew

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 …

I was afraid the speed might be an issue.

I had no idea the transfer rates were so high Click to expand... 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. Code: http://68kmla.org/forums/search.php?fid[]=1&fid[]=3&fid[]=4&a…

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 …
