i put a PCI based logic board in there and it works fine. only the original logic board does it. even after capacitor replacement. dunno. oh well. I have another logic board of the…

Use a 1.5mm flat screwdriver with a long thin shaft, and grab the handle with snub-nosed pliers to get enough torque to do the initial unscrewing. Haven't damaged a mac yet by doi…

Shouldn't it be in the internet archive?

I don't know what things are like in other countries, but here in Australia dialup is available anywhere in the country from quite a few different providers, including the main one…

There is the old trick of taking a Torx T-15 bit from any ratcheting magnetic tool bit screwdriver and wedging it into the end of a standard Bic pen (pull out the ink and pen cartr…

Anyone have any idea how to use SLIP to connect an Apple II to a PC running Windows XP and get internet? It seems like a plausibly doable solutions, but some pointers would be help…

Using a period modem would be the least of your problems. Good luck trying to find a dial-up provider, much less know whether or not your modem will work with their service. Not on…

I going to work on the Classic II next. I posted about that in the Campacts section. I will wash it like I did the LC, with water and a toothbrush then douse it with alcohol before…

I'm going to get to work on mine soon, but I need a torx that will fit down in the holes in the handle. I have one in my tool kit but it's too thick for those. Don't remember what …

In Tiger I could open a window full of MP3's select one and hit the little play bar underneath it to listen. In Leopard you cannot do this as it uses preview and the minute you mov…

Yeah, back in November...it had to happen eventually. And hopefully soon I'll get a job and move out, so I can make the final move from 3G to ADSL.

Didn't you only recently move up from dialup anyway, LCGuy?

On both machines, you'll want to go to the Appletalk control panel and make sure it's set to ethernet, and also see if you can make sure that the file server is actually enabled ov…

My shiner's been offline for, oh about 9 months or so, and when I wanted to look up a couple things the other day the site was down! Guess I should have archived it when I had the…

The thing is, to most people, needing a reinstall does = dead...for Macs it might be different, but as far as PCs go I've owned quite a few machines that I've gotten for cheap or f…

I wrote an article about the experience on my fledgling blog... Click to expand... I do not yet have personal experience with System Picker but plan to test it soon. …

A few years back I wanted to do this with a compact Mac and found an article on Low End Mac that recommended using System Picker. The link to that utility was to the Apple Develope…

Congrats on your acquisition! It looks like it's in pristine condition. There aren't that many remaining compacts that are in dining-room condition. To add to the other suggestion…

Asking for illegal software is frowned upon here...

Been down for awhile, just like xavax. Guess I should get some of my own stuff up again, since I'm still running a Shiner.

Surely it must be acceptable. Not much different from using any other router. Having to use a period modem would be rather inconvenient.

The first version of iTunes on OS9 probably does support Apple Events over localtalk, and so it might conceivably work.... Sounds to me like an ideal Retro Challenge project. The …

I used the PowerMac 7600 to get DarkCastle to a floppy disk. But then it turned out that the Classic's floppy drive doesn't work, much like my Quadra 700 from the same collector. (…

It used to contain lots of info and mailing list archives for the Apple Network Server.
