"Professional" has come to mean "someone who does something for a living," instead of the more intuitive definition of "a real expert in their field." You'd think the daily experience of doing something "on the job" would make one a real expert, but such isn't always the case. As is true of...

It very well could be that @Mr. Fahrenheit and @Drake purchased the last of the world's supply of compatible 60ns chips! ;-) Perhaps they would be willing to share their respective experiences.

I am still working on my Mystic 640x480 Mod video right now, but after that I will do the Spicy O'Clock video. I've been working with Kay on the topic of overclocking for quite some time now, and the overclocking speeds are surprisingly good. But it all depends on VRAM, plus my SECRET SAUCE. :)...

HDD replacement with an SD card solution will reduce current consumption and heat. However, if you add upgrades when consume more power and therefore generate more heat, the reduced airflow may be a concern, especially in the summer, unless you are blasting the A/C.

At the rated speed of 2500rpm, the datasheet of that SUNON fan says it has an airflow of 13.8 CFM. Noise is a very lo 13.8 dB(A) as a result, but whether the near silent operation is worth the low airflow will vary by use case.

If every key other than F5 works and are correctly mapped, then F5 must be dead or improperly soldered.

You don’t need to add any resistor in series with your wire and Flathead screwdriver when you discharge. The alligator clip on your wire definitely needs to connect to the ground lug/bolt in the upper left corner of the CRT when looking at the CRT from behind. Don’t connect your wire to the...

I don't wiggle off that small PCB (CRT Yoke Board) until after I have discharged the CRT. The reason is because you have high voltage passing through that little board during operation, so if your CRT isn't fully discharged when you remove it, you leave yourself open to a potential shock. Not...

I assume you mean that you have this... I have a version of that same keyboard but am not yet able to test it because I found all the keys have been desoldered, probably by the previous owner who was trying to clean it. So I am unsure if mine will work at all. If yours does work but just...

The ticket to learning anything is to HAVE FUN while learning. Since we are all geeks who get our thrills from vintage computers, it makes sense that using this vintage software should be fun, especially for HyperCard fans. As such, I think it really can offer some meaningful basic instruction...

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...

A few inches means at least 3 inches, which means about 7.5cm. I had my light that far away at first, but it wasn't curing after a couple minutes so I moved it as close as 1cm away for another few minutes and then I saw the burn mark. Proximity clearly matters, as does wattage. Not sure if...

Wow! Thank you for testing that! The G4 Cube officially only supports up to OS 10.4 Tiger, but I see that someone created a hack to get 10.5 on the Cube. I may try that.

It may have simply been proximity and duration. How close have you kept your light to a board and for how long? I had my light very close to the board for several minutes because I had a little bit too much UV solder mask on there and it took longer for it to harden.

The rules set forth in the opening post allow for Linux to be installed and used in this challenge. I myself have never use Linux, nor am I inclined to use it regardless of the benefits. In fact, I have been Mac only since my very first home computer in 1984, which was the 128K model. I have...

Thank you for alerting me to the backorder status on Mouser! I will update the text description. If you would like the exact same part number I used (bearing in mind there is nothing too magical about it), Digikey has stock here. Alternatively, Mouser has these alternatives in stock which...

Pretty much any site that isn’t dedicated to vintage computers. GitHub is but one example among thousands which won’t load in even Classilla under OS9.

I've tried the latest version of Classilla, but that isn't a solution for modern SSL. Could you offer one of the your current ways to get around the SSL certificate issue, such that an OS 9 browser can access modern sites?

I sincerely appreciate your kind words, especially because I think your videos are really quite amazing. Without a doubt, you are a true asset to the vintage Mac Community! Please say "hi" to Maccy for me! :)

That would depend on which vintage Mac you have. I recently spotted the photo below which shows a white wire connection to a Mac Classic motherboard, but the other connections appear to have been cut off. We really need the installation manual for these things. Based on other photos I've...
