Mustang EVT PtotoBook I guess it's fitting that “my Eleanor” is the Mustang EVT, the prototype of a souped up 5300ce. I've had two run-ins with this machine of myth. The first tim…

I have an eMac 800. Much louder than my fanless iMac "Fireball. The only noise it makes is the Quantum Fireball 6.99GB harddrive

What to do with my LC III... Right now it's just sitting here, so anyone got any ideas of what I could use it for? It'd be a shame for it to just sit here unused...

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…

Congratulations on a hack well done, comrade! . . . you have a good plan in place for both fixes and you've earned you battle scars! :rambo: Why, in this day and age, do peo…

Well, it's certainly a good candidate for a mod. Considering how many Mac Pluses there are out there, I would suggest that it won't be missed. Throwing it away is a waste though. L…

I use a MIDI Timepiece (original) by Mark of the Unicorn (MOTU). I think even the modern versions have an 8-pin serial port for older Macs. MOTU's own FreeMIDI software works good.…

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 reseated everything one last time, and it turns on now! :scrambled:

Its actually pretty simple. You just install Netbsd on a machine with OF 1.0.5 and it does all of it for you. One thats done, you set your boot device to /path/to/:0 and it works. …

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.

OMS is also freely available (Open Midi System). Apple MIDI Manager runs best on older System software (7.x.x and below). There's nothing wrong with a 61xx if you're running a st…

I hated my 6116. I would get the suggested MIDI kit and use that instead on the 7500.

why is it in this day and age there are still lots of people that don't own cameras? it's not hard to get an inexpensive one new that doesn't suck terribly or buy one that doesn't …

There are MIDI kits for the mac serial port (macman midiman for one), try to find one of those. You will also need MIDI software.
