The 200 series Duos (plus the Duo 2300c) are the same color as the 100 series (except the 190 series).

@jcm-1 On the Polar website looking to buy another Retro Platinum spool and noticed a new one to me: Power Gray "Special thanks to Joe's Computer Museum for designing and funding this color, and choosing to release it to the public." Is this really new or did I miss this being out there...

Speaking of software leading to performance improvement. I saw this recently and would like to explore/benchmark at some point: https://techhub.social/@jimluther/114232494198924466 Comments from the Apple developer that made the last updates to the classic Mac OS AppleShare client extension...

Newer Tech included a network/speed testing utility with their drivers that might be of interest. "Performance" v1.3 is included with the Newer Tech EtherTech 1.5 installer (https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/ethertech-15-driver). It's vaguely iperf like. I did some 10Mbps vs. 100Mbps Ethenet...

Eric, does this mean you can update a Mac's BlueSCSI-v2 FW without removing it (or having access to its SD card): Once on this new version: Copy BlueSCSI_v*.zip firmware file to the Mac via legacy means (floppy, network, etc). Use the BlueSCSI Toolbox Transfer App (Beta version?) to copy the...

Very cool! There are some TA/KB/TIL articles that mention the LaserWriter SC archived here: https://savagetaylor.com/til/articles.html System 7: Using Personal LaserWriter SC and LaserWriter IISC - TIL07861 Power Macintosh 6100 & Personal LaserWriter SC (1994-05-01) - TIL15397 Mac OS 8.x: No...

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.
