So it would seem almost all problems have been solved but the biggest one — reflections. The stock CRT is anti-reflective. I've seen photos of people who cut the front off a dead CRT and mount an LCD behind that, which is really neat, but that skill goes beyond what most people would likely be...

Not sure what "WebAssembly" is but all I did was click Eric's link , then I used Stuffit Deluxe 16 on my modern Mac (runs even on Sonoma!) to make a "Legacy" *.sit file of something (which makes Stuffit 5.x archives), then I dragged that SIT file onto the emulator, then I clicked the button. I...

Because it's late here in Japan right now, I will begin my testing tomorrow on my lunch break and after work. In the meantime, please let me know if everyone is using Speedometer 3.06 or 3.23. That way I can make sure to use the same exact version everyone else is. Since there was no comment...

I've spent the last two months working like mad on a comparison of the new (July 2024) Baby Face Electronics Power Supply, comparing it to my stock recapped SONY PSU and also to the SEASONIC PSU that I've been using since 2018. I also successfully tried the 16AWG wire recommendation by...

Zane, I've been following the posts. Tracking info says the package you kindly shipped to me may arrive tomorrow. At this stage, there's no meaning for me to do any firmware update, correct? I should just proceed with testing the card as is, right? (Ignoring the sound issues, of course.)...

You learn something new every day. Wow. Thank you, @butchie52651 ! I was not aware of a fuse hidden in the Macintosh 128K/512K wire harness! Based on your pics, it would seem to be hidden from view under the large ferrite bead, and the only way to spot it would be to cut off one of the wire...

Thank you for being so kind, @wottle ! And by the way, I would love to see a pic of your Mac Portable using that adapter with an external monitor!

I've been designing websites since the late 1990's. Cutting to the Chase: It's different now. Back in the day, you could do all manner of things that would work fine because everybody was browsing on a computer, not a mobile device. These days, unless you are designing a vintage web page...

I created this side-by-side pinout diagram back when I accidentally connected my Daystar Turbo040 accelerator (intended for a Cache Slot) into the PDS pass-thru slot of my TS Adapter, installed in my SE/30. That resulted in one of the ASICs getting fried on the Turbo040 (it was later repaired...

To avoid the need for yet another Control Panel or Extension, my turn-to solution is the PRAM 5.0 app. It let's me set the 4-digit year of my choice. No extension or control panel required to maintain that date.

Folks, I've done extensive testing with this fabulous 256MB card, and have been pondering a video about it, but I've just been so busy with other video work (and my day job — man, I need to retire!) that I've not gotten around to it yet. And I do apologize for that because the blood sweat and...

The card shipped to me hasn't arrived yet, hence this question. Is the crash triggered when you try to produce "any sound"? Or does it occur only when you open the Sound control panel and play System Beeps, and nothing else? Or is it a specific game or all games that causes the crash? And...

While I understand what you may be going through now, I nevertheless feel that text display to be very slick in that they didn't just product the standard System Error. It seems to be a custom error message generated by the accelerator board. That's the first accelerator I've seen which does...

I recently was looking for the best USB Thumbdrive sold today and after much research ended up buying the 1TB T31 from SK Hynix, who make extremely fast and low power SSD replacements for older Macs like the 2015 15" MacBook Pro. This is the best review out there on the T31. I opted for the T31...

My goodness! What's even more shocking than the incredible links and info presented by @eric in the opening post is that I didn't even notice this thread until today! Yikes! I'm especially having fun with Raiders of the Lost Icon. Here's a screenshot showing an icon extract I made... And...

Zane, just a quick update to say I've not done any testing yet because the package is still stuck in Chicago, according to the tracking info. Japan Post tracking says the same. Hopefully, nobody in Chicago nabs it! 😅

I don't have a specific answer about which paint can to buy on Amazon, Mark, but I did find the following article about the paint color to be quite interesting, especially since Apple even offered bottles of touch-up paint back in the day! https://apple.fandom.com/wiki/Apple_Beige

Wow. I've been oblivious to the fact that @Crutch was Steve Crutchfield all this time. Fabulous apps indeed! Glad to hear @techknight has also joined the testing team. Great! Zane, the package which you very graciously shipped to me will likely arrive tomorrow, since today is a national...

I was browsing through some very old posts in another forum last night, revisiting the past, when I stumbled across the post below by Jag. jag Starting Member 22 Posts Posted - 14 Aug 2003 Readers of my site have seen dozens of my posts re: buying old Macs cheap. Here in Austin you can...

Bingo! 🎉🥳👯‍♂️ You provided the winning answer! And what a sad answer it is. Yes, friends, Larry Pina was wrong when he said this... The copper inside the SE & SE/30 Main Wiring Harness (leading from the Analog Board to the Motherboard) is in fact 22AWG — the same thickness as the Macintosh...
