    MARCHintosh 2025 Projects

    I had a similar problem with mine when using with my Performa 575, USB keyboard didn't work when a USB mouse would. Tested with the Bamboo lab MH002 3D Printed Wireless Mouse, a Raspberry Pi USB Mouse, and a a Raspberry Pi USB Keyboard. Odd thing, when I test with an original LC everything...

    Rhapsody User Experience Preliminary Design Document v0.8

    I'm wondering how widely known this doc is? I was doing some organizing of old boxes (trying to downsize my "collection") and I stumbled across a printed copy of this leaked? doc, I believe I got it somewhere off the Internet in the late 90s, at the time (I was in college, a Mac-head when...

    VCF East 2025 - Who's Coming?

    I had a good time there last weekend, first time for me at something like this. It was nice to meet Scott Baret and see his LC lab. Had fun playing Wagon Train 1848 (before a member of my party was bitten by a snake). The museums were pretty cool, definitely enjoyed the computing and...

    "Platinum" PLA for Macs and Apple ][s

    Maybe the issue is with newer batches, my older spool of PolyTerra PLA Muted White prints pretty good in detail. You've got me kinda worried about when I run out now, prob would have ordered (maybe will still order?) a spool of Panchroma™ Matte PLA Muted White. Is the the ColorFABB filament...

    MARCHintosh 2025 Projects

    Even though I already have a bunch of projects in various stages after seeing this YouTube video by Kevin Noki on a modernized take on the original Apple ADB mouse I felt compelled to build one! I also built his aesthetically pleasing USB to ADB converter (based on QuokkADB by Rabbit Hole...

    Apple PowerCD Base Station / Dock Teardown

    I've seen pictures of the Philips CDF-100 where it looks like the connector used between the drive and base appears to be a DB-9 connector unlike the DB-25 of the the PowerCD so unfortunately I don't think that would work (at least physically). Found one...

    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...
