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.)...

The 2nd video in my ongoing Color Classic series is now public. I posted benchmarks from MacBench 3, Speedometer 4 and Norton System Info 3.5.3. Much more to come!

I recently acquired a Color Classic and was itching to do a video on it. I plan to do a series of videos based on my experiences with it, but the first video I just finished today centers on CRT adjustments. That's because, well, the display wasn't adjusted! As of the time of this...

I came across this Wall Street Journal article by Johnny Ive today. I appreciated the warm sentiments Ive shared. I have always thought of Steve Jobs as a man greatly misunderstood, perhaps inspired by the fact I myself am often misunderstood. I sometimes say or write in a deliberately...

While BMOW no longer sells the original ROM-inator, thanks to @KayMMods in Tokyo who kindly sold me his spare kit, I was able to build this fun and useful mod. It's fully reversible and really adds something special to the earliest compact Macs too. Best of all, Steve C. and Kay came to an...
