    Weird.. post deletion?

    Haha. No, I am pretty sure I saw the count go backwards. It must be the deleted thread.

    Weird.. post deletion?

    To be clear, I was NOT claiming any shenanigans. My first thought was a bug in the software which is why I reported it here in the feedback section. It just seemed like my post count has been stuck for the first half of this year. Not something I care about to be honest, but it caused me to...

    Weird.. post deletion?

    Don’t have evidence yet, but I feel like some of my posts keep getting deleted. I have been stuck at 90-ish posts for quite some time now and didn’t think much of it but seems weird. Searching for my posts showed I have only made one post since April 20th (a post I made a few minutes earlier...

    Portrait display maintenance

    I recapped mine. It was working fine before and worked fine after. Did it proactively. Found a few capacitors leaking.

    How to build the ultimate BlueSCSI Compact Mac images - complete with games and apps?

    Try the newer Disk Copy 6.3.3. It will allow you to mount it, unlike Disk Copy 4.2. I think 6.3.3 will work under System 7.

    68kmla MIA

    IRC is still there and active for 68KMLA. The difference from my observation is that the 68KMLA IRC is not a disjoint set of people... the active people on IRC are the same active people on the forum. The content is on the forum. The IRC is a chat hangout. There isn't a "partitioning of users"...

    68kmla MIA

    I have to use both. There are people I talk to that only stay there. There are people I talk to that only stay here. Then there are those of us that use both and like both. But I have a preference there because of more content and activity (due to its longer history) and all of my contributed...

    [Discussion] Use of AI/LLM in the retro community

    You are going to have a wide range of opinions, and that’s normal and OK. I appreciate photographs developed by the photographer from negatives. But I also appreciate correcting in Photoshop. And I also like the ability to generate what I want with AI. I like being able correct the one family...

    Macintosh IIfx questions

    For the speaker, someone had mentioned these which seem to be a direct match for the speakers used in the Mac II. I believe the IIfx is the same. I bought a set and it worked in my II. https://ebay.us/m/NBV94r For the memory, there was someone who made new ones on 68KMLA but I think he finally...

    PowerBook Duo Center Clutch Cover

    Did not have any layer shift issues. Came out fairly smooth with the only major sanding required being on the end that was attached to the plate due to the brim. :) Went vertical with the print in order to have the layers going up/down on the clips for added strength.

    PowerBook Duo Center Clutch Cover

    Wrapping things up on a 3D printable model of the PowerBook Duo center clutch cover. Once I complete finishing the exterior, painting it, and test fitting it one last time, I will share the model on my Printables account (link in my signature).

    Cracked Hinge on Mac Portable

    I don’t have a Portable. Too scared of tunnel vision to ever look into acquiring one. But if I were in that position, I would machine out of metal (or possibly 3D print with abs) four hour glass / black widow shaped pieces, cut similar sized shapes into that hinge (between the ribs) using a...

    Quadra 950 reset/interrupt switches on Logic Board need replacing

    The 12x12 switch included in this assortment on Amazon worked for me: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BFWK5N8V It’s basically the exact size and fits on the plastic stock switch support and the legs fit the logic board holes. They are a bit clicky compared to the stock switch but I was fine with...

    Macintosh PortraitDisplay Recap and Geometry Adjustments

    I thought the rounded corner disappears when you have multiple displays and that edge/corner is where another display extends the desktop?
