Has anyone here ever encountered a PC floppy drive on a Macintosh clone? The Tarzana motherboard design did make accommodations for a MFM style floppy drive, but I've yet to find photos of a board with those components installed. Anyone seen one?

Factory fix, or aftermarket mod?

Anyone happen to know the part number for Apple’s HDI-30 SCSI port as featured on many models of the classic PowerBook line?

Does anyone have a recommendation for a PCI based NIC that would have System 7.6 / 8 support? Thank you!

Has the pinout of the J8 modem port for PowerBook 1XX models been documented by the community? If so, would you please share it here? Thank you! Ron

I'm not sure who might need one, but I recently made a reproduction bracket for the Datanetics keyboard you might find with a Apple I or a Apple II Plus. So if you're missing this hard to find part, I hope this helps you. https://thangs.com/mythangs/file/618825

I guess many moons ago, the Amiga community was making PLCC to PGA adapters for 68882 FPU chips so you could use the cheaper PLCC chips in PGA sockets. Has anyone here stumbled across one in their travels… or know of anyone still making them (or effort to produce them today)? Thank you!

I have no doubt that this would be no small feat. But what would be required to try and bring this software into the 32bit RAM addressing era? https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/apple-iie-card-221

Y'all remember my delaminated PowerBook 150 screen, right? Well have I got a story for you... I ended up ordering a new polarizer from China (as suggested in this video: It took a bit to get here, but finally arrived last week. Poor Poor PB150... it looks like someone ran their nails...

I was reading this great article about recapping a PowerBook 100, and was curious if anyone else here had performed a similar repair... and what was the physical size of the tant caps you ended up using on the LCD? Thank you...

So folks are (lightly) baking their LCDs to get rid of tunnel vision?

Is there a list somewhere that shows which power adapters are appropriate for each model of PowerBook?

I seem to remember back in the day that the Macintosh Portable’s power supply could be used only the Portable… but the PowerBook 100’s power supply (slightly higher amperage) could be used with the Portable. Is this true? Do you risk damaging anything?

Does the PowerBook 100 have to have the three backup batteries installed to power on?
