    For the love of old tech + rant on all things modern

    Not to necro post, but I think about something quite often, which is human tech development in the last 100 years, and then 100 years before that. Movement was somewhat slow, sometimes the thing you did early in life was the thing you did all of your life. Industrial revolution changed that, but...

    MacPlay DOOM source found on eBay

    I hope to see a Doom030 in the future, like how we have 386Doom and 8088Doom. Even on an early PowerPC, Doom on Mac ran kinda bad.

    Anyone using Shuriken?

    I was looking to see if anyone had used it as well and on what machines it was working on and how well. I want to try it, but I kinda have cold feet since Sorbet Leopard didn't go well for me. I have a G5 2.3 dual core with a Radeon x1900, and the system crashed constantly with sorbet leopard. I...

    2024 PowerPC Challenge

    A project a few years in the making. A G3 mini tower upgraded to a 500Mhz G4. I had cooling issues with the G4 for a while, which lead me to making modifications. Any time a chip or component tries to steal my fingerprints, I put a heatsink on it. Heat management in old computers was absolutely...

    2024 PowerPC Challenge

    I can't post in the appropriate forum, and it's related so here we go. I want to replace the stock Heatsink on a Beige G3 Powermac, but this CPU socket/heatsink is kinda funky. A regular Socket 7 heatsink seems to be too big, the retention clip is too long and the heatsink is too big. I have a...

    Note, when I have the privileges, post about the CPU socket type in beige G3 Macs. What heatsinks are compatible with this? It uses clips and heatsinks like Socket 7, but it's smaller. What else would work on this? We can do better than Apple stock, we ALWAYS can do better.

    2024 PowerPC Challenge

    I have a G3 beige tower that I want to install a bunch of fans into, as well as fit it with several lbs. of heatsinks because a ton of chips want to steal my fingerprints when I touch them. I also want to replace all of the existing fans with some Noctua fans because why not. I also have one of...
