i'd recommend looking at the PowerMac 4400 developer documenation (and an actual 4400 if you have one). The whole thing is like a CHRP proof of concept. If you're connecting a manual eject floppy drive, it's probably your best bet for finding a Mac that supports it. While the dev dock says it's...

Feeling nostalgic and thinking I'd like to view some old Hypercard stacks on my iPad. What are my options? Do I have to install an entire 68k emulator and OS similar to SheepShaver? Or is there a Hypercard-specific app that I could install? Thanks in advance!

Looking through some old ARPLE cds around 1993, there are multiple mentions that AppleShare 3 was originally going to support netbooting 68k Macs (not just Apple II and IIgs). The code name for this was evidently "Spectre" and the feature was sadly pulled at the last minute. Has anyone ever come...

I mostly use mine to listen to music in the kitchen. iTunes and Home Sharing stil work great. Still looking for a decent MOD player for it though. I also used it a while back to finally play all the way through Myst. Might work on the sequels next.

Looks like they might have made some changes. Haven't run into the 403 error in a couple of weeks! 🤞

So I have finally upgraded to a current MacBook model and I cannot get used to the giant trackpad. Resting my wrists in typing position means my palm touches the trackpad surface. In turn, the MacBook registers every tap as two finger input. Is there any setting or software I can use to tweak...

What to do with the old black mini Apple TV (ARM-based A4 chip) that can't install software from the app store? I've got one sitting in a box and I'm wondering if there any hacks for it to make it more useful? Thanks in advance.

Anyone know why Macintosh Garden frequently barfs a 403 error when connecting over http? Are they aware of this? I gave up trying to connect over iCloud Private Relay. But I still have problems connecting from time to time on my non-VPN Macs.

What model year of MacBook Air, and which OS version?

Broke the metal post off the battery holder while trying to replace my G5 iMac coin battery. Wondering if anypone knows of some sort of adapter or fix I could do that doesn't involve soldering, or if I'm going to have to take the logic board out and actually replace the holder (ugh).

I just wanted to say -- this is amazing. A big thank you to the person who shared the ROM and the people working to preserve it!

You coul take the drive out and install the OS onto there from another old mac if you have an old mac with a spare bay or an external case for the drive. iFixit has decent take apart instructions for this model if you want to look into it. - You'll need to do a "Universal" install if you're...

I'd like to see someone get Copland working.

@fogWraith -- Can you check to see if the garden is reachable when iCloud private relay is on?

I use an AppleScript that unmounts volumes I don't want. Save it as an app, then drop it in the startup items folder (or add to login items in OS X).
