To date, Apple has indirectly helped the vintage Mac community by turning a blind eye to things like Reloaded motherboards, logo usage and the like. They are without a doubt aware of what we do, but I guess they've decided that letting Mac fans have the freedom to love very old Apple devices in...

I can confirm today that after doing the STEREO MOD on my own Color Classic and when booted into OS 8.1, the Monitors and Sound control panel looks exactly the same as yours, without the additional controls like Balance. :-( What defines "stereo"? Is this dual Mono? I must assume it is Stereo...

As much as I really like that name, I'm not sure if folks unfamiliar with the plethora of Spanish in California would be as warm to it. But MacBreeze or BreezyMac (quite similar to FannyMac without the fanny issues) might work. I think it's not time for @Stephen to chime in with his thoughts...

If it sounded as it I was flippant with your excellent idea, Ron, please know that I was not and still am not. I had hoped my participation in this thread would serve to illustrate my keen interest in seeing this happen. My earlier remarks, which were deliberately made humorous and terse, were...

For some reason that name somewhat reminds me of this hotel in California (no, not the Eagle's one): https://hoteldel.com Interestingly, there's a web page with a bunch of fan product brand names here: https://namesfrog.com/fan-brand-names/

Now THAT is a significant list of "conquests" -- wow!

@vorg What display is that?

They are hard to get at a decent price, and ones that come with the cables are harder to find and even pricier. I just happened to see a guy in a vintage Mac FaceBook group selling his, which looked absolutely awful because the cables were dirty and the card had leaked cap fluid all over it...

My own needs are merely to use the Apple IIe card on an LC575 motherboard inside my Color Classic.

I'll let Steve Jobs get the final word on that...

Not to get too off-topic (we are talking about names for this thing after all), I have always considered the term "fanny" to be a much more subdued version of "ass" (the fatty part our bodies sit on). Indeed, I would say that mostly women seem to use "fanny" in my sphere, which always made me...

There's something magical about the IIe Card, so I fully understand why @Ron's Computer Videos started this excellent thread. It would be great to accomplish today what those back in the day could not. We just need to overcome that negative ROI. Make it a long-term positive ROI like AAPL or...

Thanks, Stephen. Comparing to an equivalent sized Noctua fan... FAN MODEL VOLTAGE AIRFLOW NOISE SPEED LIFE ANTI-VIBRATION? Etri 146DJ-2182-030 115 VAC fan (@60Hz) 21 CFM 28 dB(A) 2600 RPM 50,000 hours No Noctua NF-A8 PWM 12V DC fan 33 CFM 17.7 dB(A) 2200 RPM 150,000 hours Yes

Is there a guaranteed ROI?

I acquired a IIe card and cables a couple months ago. I intend to use it in my CC Mystic and make a video about it, especially because it will involve recapping it too. I still haven't even tried using the thing because I've not had the time. But this topic about 32-bit compatibility has me...

@PotatoFi I'm not a fan of acronyms because I almost always have no idea what they mean. But since "DBAN" keeps getting repeated in this thread with no explanation, I wanted to chime in with the info I Googled up just now: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darik%27s_Boot_and_Nuke Seems to be a...

I'm not as bad as Steve Jobs who demanded "no fan at all." It is because of his demand for absolute silence that we are evening having this discussion today! :-) But I respect the man for wanting to keep the Mac quiet. So what all of us must do is find the right compromise. And here's how...

Holy cow, @Stephen ! You're amazing! Not sure if the FannyMac name copyright still exists, but if not, why not keep using it? Maybe add a fun new logo too... (‿|‿) FANNY MAC 😅 The main question on my mind is how much noise do the AC fans generate as compared to their 12V counterparts...

Very interesting. Thanks for posting. I spotted a link to the Macintosh Garden Forum on that Directory just now. Funny, despite my having used the Garden all these years, I'd never really noticed their forum! 😅 Lots of other great links in there too, including SE/30 Forever. Anyway, getting...

It's important that we simply understand offenses come and we ought not to overreact to them. When forums over-react, we get an ever-growing draconian set of rules that keep members in fear of an iron fist. Tinker Different hasn't become that, and I for one am here to ensure it doesn't ever...
