    CiderPress II released

    I'll admit I don't have much experience with using WINE, but in this case you don't need to "get WINE to work", you just run the app in the zip download which I'm guessing includes the WINE libraries (or whatever the right term is) that make it work. These appear to be x86 intel but Rosetta runs...

    ... it runs on my M1 MacBook Pro. Do you have Rosetta 2 on your Apple Silicon Mac?

    What is this PCI card?

    Something that was VERY expensive back in the day! 🥁 Googling the I-Cude chip numbers I found this on eBay that appears to match: https://www.ebay.com/itm/356293835775 "Avid Blue Ice Video Card V2 card" .... I would imagine there is some kind of breakout board that connected to the external...

    Anyone else a huge fan of the Alien franchise?

    I completely agree with everything you said! "Andy" was definitely a high point for me, loved the character and his arc. Something new with Alien universe Artificial Persons. The homages to Alien and the proto Aliens nods were great. A friend felt there was too much "fan service" but I thought...

    VEVOR 30L Ultrasonic Cleaner discussion, issue & recommendations

    My VEVOR 30L Ultrasonic Cleaner is approaching 4 years of sporadic use and I'm doing a water change now so I thought it might be interesting to create a thread to share my experience and hopefully hear from others too. Let's share recommendations, tips and tricks! I have a feeling this...

    Dry lubricants for floppy drives

    My Mac 512k internal and external 400k floppy drives were totally locked up. The original grease in these totally turns to glue and I was not getting anywhere with IPA. This "Dry Lube" did the trick for me: 3-IN-ONE Lock Dry Lube https://3inone.com/product/3-in-one-lock-dry-lube/ After...

    Powerbook 100 with blue screen and no chime

    I generally agree, but the PB 100 is apparently not a fixed current (A) draw device. The way I normally think about it the voltage of a power supply is what maters, the amperage is just a max that the PS can safely supply. No harm no foul to use a PS with a higher Amp rating as long it is above...

    Powerbook 100 with blue screen and no chime

    I believe the issue is more that the PowerBook could (will?) draw more current than its designed to support if you don't use the proper (limited to 2A) power supply.

    Comm Slot II 10/100 Ethernet Cards

    I ended up buying one of those Farallon PN993 NetLINE 10/100 PCI cards just because. Perhaps unsurprisingly it seems to perform the same as @Androda's card.

    Quadra 700 and Apple Two Page Display - VRAM Issue?

    I wonder if your VRAM SIMM sockets might have some oxidation? You could try some DeoxIT with a tooth brush scrub. (that helped my Q700 with a similar video issue).

    Comm Slot II 10/100 Ethernet Cards

    The MAC address OUI prefix (00:00:C5) on the card I got from you appears to match what Farallon was using for their real PN993 NetLINE 10/100 cards: https://www.ebay.com/itm/183693476592 That OUI prefix is now registered to "ARRIS Group, Inc." which I'm guessing is where Farallon's stuff ended...

    Comm Slot II 10/100 Ethernet Cards

    @Androda Is it correct to assume that the Farallon 993v14 driver would work with any PCI Ethernet card based on the RTL8139? There aren't any vendor/manufacture checks, something like MAC OUI ranges? I was curious about your 3D printed "mounting tang", didn't know conductive plastic was a...

    Comm Slot II 10/100 Ethernet Cards

    Results! Your new card certainly holds its own against the other 100Mb PCI cards! Certainly faster then the regular Apple CS II card! Reminder on the test environment from a few posts back, these tests were from/to my Raspberry Pi 4 "retro home server" running MacIPRpi (1Gbps Ethernet) with...
