Airport Card Question. I found a card at work in the original box, in great condition. I've got it installed in my G4 Cube for now so as to test it. Card is recognized. System Profiler shows Firmware 9.52. OS is 10.4.11. PROBLEM: "Wireless network not available." Card is "turned on" as per...

Hello, friends. I am in the middle of editing Part I of my @Kai Robinson SE Reloaded video, and I am trying to find high resolution, top-down photos of the SE motherboard and chip sets that are different from mine. Here's a high resolution (20 megapixel) photo of mine, which is revision...

I've installed Duke Nukem 3D on my Color Classic Mystic: https://macintoshgarden.org/games/duke-nukem-3d-atomic-edition I want to have it auto-play on a CC while I sit beside the machine and shoot a segment for my next video. Of course, I could do a "hack" whereby I sit down and play the game...

Do any of you know how to display the Frame Rate in Doom II or Marathon or Wolfenstein 3D or Dark Forces? I'm overclocking my Color Classic Mystic and want to show before/after FPS. https://macintoshgarden.org/games/doom-ii

Work related question today. Since I am talking about "vintage" software for Macs, I felt it only reasonable to post my query on TinkerDifferent! :-) Many years ago, my employer paid a web programmer to build a mySQL database for us, such that we could put our car security related vehicle...

I posted this question on FaceBook (Vintage Apple Macintosh Enthusiasts group) 5 days ago and not a single person replied, so let's see if the amazingly knowledgable folks here at TinkerDifferent can do better! Do any of you have experience using any of the following Keystron RAM SIMMs in your...

Fellow Color Classic Mystic lovers, wouldn't you like to play Marathon, Dark Forces, have more workspace in Photoshop, and access all those amazing CD-ROMs that otherwise won't run on your 512x384 screen? In this new video, I review 3 hardware methods to achieve a higher 640x480 pixel...

日本語を大好きな人たちへ！ I just uploaded the full version of JapanEase to Macintosh Garden: https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/japanease-full-version-vol1-vol2 I purchased this new in 1994, just prior to moving to Japan. I can't find the documentation or original disks. I simply extracted the stacks...

It has just struck midnight here in Japan. We are now celebrating the arrival of 2022. 🥳 I would like to offer my sincere appreciation to all of you who have kindly joined TinkerDifferent and make it better each and every day with each and every post. Despite COVID and all the negatives...

My mid-2015 15" MBP Retina is now considered a very low end Mac, but it's still my daily driver. My left speaker has been bad for about a year, and recently I had enough and decided to swap it out. I replaced the other speaker too since you have to teardown the whole machine to replace...

Speedometer experts, perhaps the obvious is eluding me, but how can I easily MERGE separate Results files? I have been spending hours doing benchmarks and saving results as separate files, but now when I try to compare with the main results files (which has multiple Macs inside) I can't because...

I came across this MacRumors thread from 2016 today: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/ssd-in-a-g4-cube-heres-a-bracket.1981819/ Any of you have experience with 120GB SSDs in the G4 Cube? I'm curious because one of my 120GB IDE drives died this week so I am mulling a more modern alternative...

I'm rather surprised I'm the first person to ever make a Macintosh Garden request! Oh well, it must start with someone, right? The Garden currently has versions 1.7 and 1.9 of Clockometer, but Archive.org shows there was a newer version 2.0.3 too...

Keep your beloved CC cool, semi-quiet and with slightly less current consumption too! Currently, the VGA Mod (with discussion about the 13" Hi-rez mod) and Spicy O'Clock Overclocking videos are in the works!

This to me is nothing short of fantastic, and I wish to humbly thank @Kay K.M.Mods for so graciously having done the conversion while filming, which is not easy to do. If you are as impressed with his skills as I am, please be sure to let him know what you think!

Since it's Thanksgiving in the US today, I should express my thanks for Panasonic's low-ESR OS-CON capacitors. They're the ideal choice when recapping of the LC575 "Mystic" motherboard, especially when you upgrade the CPU and/or overclock. Enjoy that turkey, friends! 🦃

I've been using MG Chemicals flux, with built-in syringe and plunger. It has been great. But with so many people constantly raving about AMTECH 559, I decided to give that a try. Sadly, only the Chinese knock-off "559" is sold here in Japan that I can see, so I purchased 559 from Amazon USA...

Spotted this article today: https://appleinsider.com/articles/21/11/17/apple-will-allow-customers-to-repair-iphones-and-macs-in-2022 This won't help folks who have "obsolete" Macs since I believe Apple only offers parts for about 7 years. There are older Intel Macs like the late 2009 27" iMac...

"Latest Profile Posts" in the right sidebar are not as intuitive as they could be. Every time I see photos posted there, I instinctively click on the photos, only to be disappointed that the associated thread doesn't open due to the lack of a link. It would be nice to click a pic to open its...

I've got an Apple-branded Quantum Fireball 1280S 1.2GB 3.5" SCSI drive that won't mount. If I change the SCSI ID via jumpers, SCSI Probe shows the correct ID every time. But SCSI Probe won't mount it, nor will any other Utility app I've tried. Most utility apps (Lido, SilverLining, etc.)...
