Hi Tinkerers, I'm new here and I like messing with old macs. Some of the machines I have are, 2004 G4 Powerbook, 2005 G4 Mac Mini, 2 of 2012 Macbook Pros, 2019 Macbook Pro, 2007 iMac Core Duo, 2013 8 core Mac Pro, 2 of 30 inch Apple Cinema Displays, 23 inch ACD, 20 inch ACD. Plus also 2 modern displays and a powerful Hackintosh. Also a brand new in the box 2006 1,1 Intel Mac Mini, which may I add that I paid to much for.
Sorry for the long rant.

Gave my Mac SE SuperDrive a nice BlueSCSI upgrade and so far it's fantastic and I'm loving it so far
The original 40mb Quantum ProDrive still works and thankfully I have backed it up alongside with that 160mb Conner drive that stopped working sadly

It's curious the level of vitriol and hate directed towards TD sometimes - with no clear reason as to why.

Hi Fred
I am trying to run a MacintoshPi on a 9.7" 1024x768 Display and configure the correct overscan to reduce the used screen canvas size but do not succeed.
While googling, I found your article here:
As I understand it, you somehow managed it to configure the overscan correctly? I am trying for hours now and can't figure out how to do it. While running CMD or PIOS, the overscan is applied correctly, but when running MacOS 7/8/9, it just ignores the settings and uses the full size of the screen.
Do you think you can help me here? What configuration files did you edit and with which settings?
Thanks for any help and best regards
Lukas
