    Fun with TAM's. (upgrading Twentieth anniversary Macs with IDE SSD adapters, Sonnet CPU upgrades, BlueSCSI, and lots of love

    Cleaning the power contacts inside the sub supposedly fixes the buzz for a while, but then it comes back. I dunno that replacing the caps would fix it considering this problem happened when the TAM was brand new (unless you're replacing a cap with a different value?).

    Power supply interchangeability between different 68K Macintosh models?

    I'm interested in this as well. I've got a Quadra 950 I'm trying to rebuild and I'd love to be able to just drop in a cheap power supply from another Quadra or use one of the ATX conversion kits. I'm not planning on tricking it out with a bunch of drives -- just a single bluescsi or something...

    Another 12-inch PowerBook G4

    I adored my PB G4 back in the day. A very well designed machine.

    Looking for force quit software for OS 9 and earlier

    I did manage to find something that appears to work when an app bombs in the emulator. It's called "bomb shelter" and it's by Ambrosia Software. It patches the normal bomb dialog and adds a continue button. It doesn't work for stuff that's caught in an endless loop/watch cursor, and doesn't add...

    What pinball games for Classic 68k and Power PC can you recommend?

    There was this one that was actually a promo for a brand of beer that was well done... http://macintoshgarden.org/games/roll-m-pinball

    Recovery Mode background?

    Try mounting the Recovery partition (since that's where you saw it) and look in the same places suggested, but on that partition. https://superuser.com/questions/354827/how-do-manually-mount-hard-drive-on-mac I'm not sure which OS you're using, but if it's an oldie, you can also try this...

    Recovery Mode background?

    Try looking for /System/Library/CoreServices/DefaultDesktop Or use a utility like EasyFind to search for file name "linen"

    TwiSlot PCI Riser and ComSlot2 NIC repro in widened CS riser form factor

    Couple of things -- I wasn't sure from the other thread if you were planning to use an external power supply for one of the cards. I'd be worried about pushing the TAM power supply (located in the subwoofer module) too far by installing so many cards, since it wasn't designed for this much power...

    [SOLVED] Automating sound output selection?

    Solved this by copying over the "sound scripting" addition from a 9.1 install. Although OS 9.1 isn't supported on sheepshaver, the scripting addition seems to work fine under OS 9.0.4. tell application "Sound Scripting" set sound output device to "Built-in" end tell Save script as app, place...

    [SOLVED] Automating sound output selection?

    Looking for a way to automate sound output selection. For some reason one of my SheepShaver instances is defaulting to selection = none, every time I restart it. Hoping smeone knows of a scripting addition or something similar where I can set it to output = built-in on startup. Thanks in advance!

    Looking for force quit software for OS 9 and earlier

    Looking for any inits, control panels, or whatnot that allows you to force quit a misbehaving app through a keypress other than command-option-esc on OS 9 and earlier. Anyone know of such a thing? Trying to find a nicer way to get out of misbehaving apps in SheepShaver without having to restart...

    My Macintosh LC Has Normal Volume Error Chimes, All Other Sounds Are Quiet

    I'm guessing it does this no matter which disk you boot up from?

    Quadra 950 - bezel colour?

    Do you by any chance have a Thingaverse link or something similar to the bezel for other Quadra owners? Thanks in advance!

    Retr0bright findings

    I have to agree. I ruined a Mac case using this method. Came out marbled. Submersive method seems to work better. Also, don't forget to remove your rainbow apple logo before retrobrighting, or it can come out "pastel" when finished.

    Classic Mac OS WiFi Supplicant For 68k?

    The piSCSI superbenk mentions is nice because it also works as an SD card to SCSI hard disk. If your Mac has an ethernet port, you can always use an ethernet bridge. I've had success with this one, though you'll need USB power or compatible DC power adapter for it...

    SSD in an TAM (ATA Drivers Issue)

    Have you tried one of the SD Card or CF Card to ATA adapters instead? Considering the age of the machine, I doubt using an actual SSD will seem much faster. Also is there anything plugged into the PCI slot?

    SCSI2SD - finding existing partitions?

    So My SCSI2SD started misbehaving and listing one of the partitions as 7 different drives. I re-uploaded the firmware settings, guessing the partition sizes, and got three of the correct partitions to appear properly. The fourth partition though is a mystery. Is there any way to figure out what...
