    In coming years the summary of posts in this thread will be... It's down. It's up. It's down again. It's up again. He loves me... He loves me not... He loves me... He... Yes, I do find it a bit amusing, I certainly don't take pleasure in the plight of others. I have spoken privately to...

    Custom USB-C powered 8"display for the Apple IIc with STL files and build plan

    Or multiple manufacturers, because it's really, REALLY hard to know these days what is genuine and what's a knock-off. For example, my 10" IPS display is branded EYOYO but the official EYOYO site makes no mention of it at all. Funny that. Mine is IPS, yet the 8" official product seems to be...

    I know Jonathan Adar (member of the Apple II Enthusiasts group on FaceBook) has done it.

    ROMINATOR I on Mac Plus

    There is, but as I show in my video, you can make longer sounds... Jump to the 0:49 second timestamp to head the short sounds, and keep listening to hear the long sounds. At the very end of each, you still get that little "pop" and I honestly do not know how to get rid of that. But clearly...

    Anyone tried installing LC575 speaker in Color Classic?

    If only you could fit a stereo pair of speakers in the front to see how that impacts volume. Because I have the Stereo Mod, and it's not even close to being what I would call "loud."

    What I've received as of late...

    Thank you for your kindness in asking, but I am perfectly content with my 28S, 50g, 48GX, and Prime. I just think the SX has a neat color scheme.

    BlueSCSI on Macintosh Portable

    I thought BlueSCSI speed gains from FWB HDTK only came on faster 030 or 040 Macs, especially when running OS 8.x or higher. And for lesser machines, the official BlueSCSI recommend was Apple's 7.3.5 drive. (Except perhaps for the Portable needing 7.3.1, which is yet to be determined. The long...

    Custom USB-C powered 8"display for the Apple IIc with STL files and build plan

    It’s also important to consider that the 8 inch Eyoyo model (TFT) appears to be 800 x 600 resolution, whereas the knockoff 10 inch version that I have (IPS) is 1024 x 768 resolution.

    Macintosh Portable: "pop" noise every 10s from Speaker & Headphones

    Today, I came across this very interesting post by @David Cook where he attached his patched edition of System 6.0.8L that works on many 68K Macs it otherwise doesn't support. I confirmed David's patched version boots my Macintosh Portable 5126 and the backlight works, but I still get the pop...

    Custom USB-C powered 8"display for the Apple IIc with STL files and build plan

    So you didn't buy from the EBAY seller and instead bought it from an "Asian web shop"? The reason I ask is because that EBAY seller only wants to sell to the USA... He advertises it as being an "IPS" display. The lower cost version on AliExpress that looks exactly the same (if the photos...

    Thanks for sharing that photo. I always loved the easy to see orange color scheme of the 48SX.

    BlueSCSI on Macintosh Portable

    Has that SCSI driver VERSION issue been proven? I only realized today that my BlueSCSI v2 is using a Disk Jockey created image, and Disk Jockey locks the driver to 7.3.5 even when making a Portable-specific image as shown below... @Paolo B , @SuperSVGA & @Sideburn , any issues running a...

    3D Printing & MacEffects Appreciation

    Thank you for that confirmation. And just to add one detail... The clear MacEffects speaker looks great in the clear case, but because it is 8Ω and not 63Ω like the stock speaker, the maximum volume level of the clear speaker is lower than the stock speaker. The amplifier can't supply...

    3D Printing & MacEffects Appreciation

    TPU is a tad more soft and certainly more squishy than PLA and other filament types, but is firm like hard rubber. Are you deliberately using TPU for a speaker gasket because it offers vibration damping and makes the sound from the speaker better? (Which is why you chose it over 100% transparent...

    PSU for SE & SE/30 trips breaker on 240VAC?

    I received a question from a YouTube viewer about his recapped PSU for the SE & SE/30. He said that he tried to test the output voltages in the NO LOAD condition (disconnected from the Mac), and it trips his breaker every time he flips on the power switch. He said when the PSU is connected to...
