    Comparing stock fan vs. Noctua in an SE/30 with temperature data

    So boringly pretty! why can't these be their standard offering!? Noctua: Our case fans are tan and brown because that's the color of PC's these days, right? Noctua: Our case fans are tan and brown because we think it's an ironic branding choice in the face of trendy clear plastic and RGB...

    Macintosh LC III with FPU and PDS Ethernet card

    I have a recapped LC III (with the III+ 33MHz mod) that I put a FPU on the logic board and have a PDS Ethernet card in that works just fine. The PDS Ethernet card is a Asante Macon that does have a space for a FPU but it's empty. It does seem like a bad idea to have an FPU installed on the...

    Need hard drive replacement recommendations for Lombard 333

    Not too long ago I tried a bunch of options in my Lombard. Ended up using a new Yansen 16GB 2.5-inch PATA/IDE 44-Pin SSD I bought from Amazon. The somewhat pricey Ableconn mSata to IDE adapter that I use successfully in my 3400, Pismo, iBook G4 and Mac mini G4 does work in a Lombard too. I...

    CiderPress II released

    I'll admit I don't have much experience with using WINE, but in this case you don't need to "get WINE to work", you just run the app in the zip download which I'm guessing includes the WINE libraries (or whatever the right term is) that make it work. These appear to be x86 intel but Rosetta runs...

    What is this PCI card?

    Something that was VERY expensive back in the day! 🥁 Googling the I-Cude chip numbers I found this on eBay that appears to match: https://www.ebay.com/itm/356293835775 "Avid Blue Ice Video Card V2 card" .... I would imagine there is some kind of breakout board that connected to the external...

    Anyone else a huge fan of the Alien franchise?

    I completely agree with everything you said! "Andy" was definitely a high point for me, loved the character and his arc. Something new with Alien universe Artificial Persons. The homages to Alien and the proto Aliens nods were great. A friend felt there was too much "fan service" but I thought...

    VEVOR 30L Ultrasonic Cleaner discussion, issue & recommendations

    Dry lubricants for floppy drives

    My Mac 512k internal and external 400k floppy drives were totally locked up. The original grease in these totally turns to glue and I was not getting anywhere with IPA. This "Dry Lube" did the trick for me: 3-IN-ONE Lock Dry Lube https://3inone.com/product/3-in-one-lock-dry-lube/ After...
