    Buyee Warning

    They may have a US warehouse, but anything I've bought in the past has not come via the US. Even if something did transit via the US, it is not being "imported" into the US and so would not be subject to US import laws. If it was... then they wouldn't ship it via the US because that would be a...

    Buyee Warning

    The Buyee but not Shippee Reviews? No, I'm not in the US. While we have our own import taxes, they haven't really changed lately. Yet.

    Buyee Warning

    Oh, for the days of $50 CPU upgrades and accelerated Nubus video cards. Sadly that time has passed. At least we did manage to get something at the time. I personally feel that their business has ceased to exist and they're just making money by taking fees and refusing to send things.

    Buyee Warning

    I'm sure everyone else is already aware, but folks, just a quick warning. It is a few years since I've bought from Buyee. I knew there were more export restrictions these days when purchasing from Japan, but assumed that if they let me bid on something (many things won't let you) everything...

    Archiving CD images using Toast 3 (1997)

    I went to write this yesterday, but my site had developed an issue and I ended up updating software, resizing images and fixing some issues before I got around to it.... but anyway, I thought I'd over explain things to any one starting out that cared enough to read way too much text. Hopefully I...

    Archiving CD images using Toast 3 (1997)

    Does it support mixed media discs? Does it export bin / cue files?

    Archiving CD images using Toast 3 (1997)

    Completely agree. I don't get frustrated that people make a mess of ripping CDs, but I do get frustrated that they clearly then don't test them. There are more broken images than working ones online. Absolutely no reason to .sit a CD image, it just makes it harder to use - especially if you're...

    WarpSE: 25 MHz 68HC000-based accelerator for Mac SE

    My concern was just the risk of removing someone's source of income when there are so many other things out there that could be developed. If it has been opensourced then that means there is a good starting point for someone else should they choose to do something with the available data. Here...

    68kmla MIA

    Interesting - have you got any idea when? I have used a unique email address for my 68kmla account since 2019 and it is not in haveibeenpwned's database, so either it was before that, only a partial leak, or they got your account details another way. You haven't ever had a Yahoo email account...

    WarpSE: 25 MHz 68HC000-based accelerator for Mac SE

    Picking up an open project is fine, but also isn't "reverse engineering" - which is what people said they should do.

    WarpSE: 25 MHz 68HC000-based accelerator for Mac SE

    Please don't push for cloning a current project. While cloning 30 year old unsupported corporate products is slightly legally questionable, cloning something recent by a community member is morally questionable. There are a few points... There are so many things out that that would be good to...

    Software-only OVERCLOCK for LC475, LC575, Quadra 605

    It's a couple of years since I last bought some. It isn't that long ago they were 50p each. I think some people like buying very large numbers of them.

    Software-only OVERCLOCK for LC475, LC575, Quadra 605

    The DW80s are about £1 each and are the highest spec'd parts, so its what I bought. No harm in trying a DW55, Still should be faster than an 88920, which seem to be capped. I replaced the DW55 in my C650 and in lifted the maximum speed I could overclock to from about 43 to at least 50 (I...

    Software-only OVERCLOCK for LC475, LC575, Quadra 605

    I think I've found the version : Ignore the crazy high FPS - I was testing on QEMU (Quadra 800 emulated) on a "modern" laptop. The file was a bare sit archive, so I've wrapped it in a hqx to make it a bit more internet proof (sit files get corrupted if you send them over FTP sometimes...

    Software-only OVERCLOCK for LC475, LC575, Quadra 605

    I recommend using the control strip instead. It has better timings, is compatible with 24bit addressing and is easier to use. Moving the resistor doesn't get you extra speed, it stops the computer crashing when you do sustained SCSI workloads like copying large files. Some machines aren't...
