The bit depth version being selected by monitor color depth makes sense but which one of the 7 sets of icons will be used by default? hagar, daemon, tcp, sdcard, globe, declogo, or sunlogo? I assume you can somehow configure this for a netaatalk installation? On pasting an icon in Get Info is...

As always amazing work! Super interested in the "friendly new color volume icons", looks like there are several options (each with 1-bit, 8-bit, 16-bit versions)? How will you select which is used? ...and would it be possible to substitute your own icons for one of the sets?

Found this thread since I was having the same issue on a Power Macintosh G3 Blue and White. In my case I could never get past the first chime, resetting the pram (Command, Option, P, and R) didn't work, only one chime regardless of holding down the keys at boot and then nothing (no video, stock...

Got a beautiful Power Macintosh G3 Blue and White for a good deal on eBay! Me: "Hi, can you make sure to ship with enough immobilizing/buffering packing material so that the vintage Mac arrives in the condition pictured. It's my understanding that the corners are pretty fragile and need lots of...

Here you go!

The only scary note like that I see is for the APS-17adp AC Adapter: The fourth AC adapter, 17 W, shipped with the PowerBook 150, and works with the PowerBook 100 or 150. Note: AC adapters producing more than 19 watts can damage the PowerBook 100 and 150.

I was always partial to this one! Grabbed this from the Power Computing website back in the day! It wasn't easy for us Mac guys back then, lol. I remember the eye rolls from everyone else in my dorm with shiny new Dells fall of 1996...

I humbly suggest "Retrodefragulator" or "Defragulator" for short. Not sure why but inspired by this old gem that popped into my head when first thinking about it! Another random thought, "Contiguous" Going in a different direction... Fatastic Fatabulous Fatdango The Fat and the Furious

For those that might be dense like me here's a picture of the 68040 socket, with broken pins, removed. Its just acting as an extender... Can I DM you to pick one up from you? 🤞

OMG I get it now! Thank you! ...the black retainer thing is a 68040 socket that is just mechanically connected to the silver pins that go through/are soldered to the board! I had been thinking it was soldered on somehow but this makes so much more sense. I'm cry laughing! Can you point me...

But how? I feel like I'm probably missing something obvious but when I look at the card I don't see what replacing all the bottom pins would involve... Do you de-solder each bad pin? If you put an iron on the top silver side, can you heat it up enough to then pull the entire pin up...

I still have mine awaiting a fix attempt! Can you expand further on your fix using a 68040 socket?
