It is located in the same province and that saves a lot of money in shipping. I do plan to use both as a system. The only other duo I own is a 230 but the passive screen is prett…

Cool - thank you. It's good to have a link like that which people can find easily. I'd also like to remind people here that NetBSD for m68040s with no FPU (no matter which mask) c…

I had a thought about this in the shower yesterday! My buddies at Tekserve got their start in Macs by building the (Mac controlled) Directory Systems for the Rockefeller Center (y…

74hct161 Click to expand... binary counter, counting is very important when fabricating a video signal from a computer

Keep in mind that most of these batteries are very old by now, and almost all of them are dead or very near it. I don't have the links on me right now - I'll post them when I get h…

There are close to 40 ICs on that board. An NTSC or PAL conversion board typically has three logic chips. There's a bank of eight pc74hct161p (MOSFETs?) and an unidentified bank of…

Hey all! I recently acquired a Duo 2300c with a dock, microdock, floppy drive, and a SuperMac NuBus video card inside the DuoDock II. I also acquired a 230 from an eBay auction. …

Wow, I sure do wish Chiefs-Trading-Post shipped internationally. =( I could use a NewerTechnology Floppy adapter or two to cannibalize for evil. And by evil, I mean WiFi.

I was considering bidding on that 2300c - I could really use a bunch of junk out of it. I'm glad you picked it up, though, if you're going to use it as a system. I hate pulling par…

Here you'll find a floppy-driven Macintosh Portable web server with a how-to, in case it's of interest to you!

Cool for you! If you get that Turbo running, it will be like having OS X 0.1. Click to expand... Oh, it does run just fine! A clean NeXTSTEP 3.3 install was done by the selle…

Congrats! I've always wanted a NeXT machine but the shipping costs would kill me.

Cool for you! If you get that Turbo running, it will be like having OS X 0.1.

Last week I scored some beautiful Black hardware: - NeXTstation TurboColor, with SoundBox ADB, and ADB keyboard and mouse, pristine. - NeXT MegaPixel 17'' display, pristine cosme…

For those who don't read Japanese, the procedure is pretty simple. I had taken off the floppy drive cover, but I didn't need to. I just needed to unscrew it so that I could fit it…

Holy crap I found some more pictures. http://square.umin.ac.jp/~itoh/dual_fdd_2.html This guy is seriously awesome.

Holy crap I finally found some pictures. http://square.umin.ac.jp/~itoh/dual_fdd_1.html That guy seems to be a serious Macintosh Portable nut. I wish I had found his page sooner.…

As this Conner hard drive I have seems very noisy and about to die, I'd like to try building a dual floppy Macintosh Portable. I have never owned a dual floppy Macintosh, but I thi…

For the Ram gurus here, a question. What happens if you mix FPM and EDO Ram in an 8600/9600? Machine gets flakey, won't boot at all, smoke and flames, or?? Also, I just picked u…

I'm afraid not. There is only a VGA connector on the bugger. I did find out that if you set the resolution to be less than the actual resolution it will center the picture. Also…

Wikipedia's article on EDID talks about the "divide by 8" issue, specifically in reference to this resolution: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_display_identification_data#Li…

Yeah, I've since loaded it up on my machine, and I'll agree, it runs beautifully. I've even installed my copy of iWork '08 on there, and since learnt that "G4/500 required" is mere…

Tiger runs like a peach on my 600MHz slotloader. Just throwing that out there Nice score by the way! I've fallen in love with my iMac in the short time I've had it thus far - i…

If I'm correct, doesn't the 12x drive use the standard laptop ATAPI connector, rather than the 2.5" IDE connector (like the 6x and 8x drives)? If so, you should be able to swap jus…

What do you recommend as far as audio is concerned (application wise)?
