Technically you would have had to claim it on your taxes if Apple had allowed you to pay a lower (or no) taxes when you picked it up. Unfortunately, what you tried to do, whether intentionally or not, was a small scale tax fraud. Probably good that Apple simply made sure you paid the correct...

I'm pretty sure the answer is to "don't do that". I believe the tolerances are so tight keyboard covers can cause issues. I've never done it so I can't say for or against, just the overwhelming message I've heard on reddit. What are you looking to get out of a keyboard cover?

Agreed that it's more about the effort and ability to create a longer lasting solution. My goal with the voltage adapter is that USBPD has voltage handshaking that these laptops aren't designed to do. Also, some of these power adapters have capabilities to restrict the amperage to not cause...

I just finished re-celling a few iBook G3 battery packs. While this will allow me to use them without being plugged in, and it certainly maximizes the portable nature of these machines, I had a couple thoughts: 1. I do have concerns about the safety of home built packs. I read up on it, bought...

Yeah, made some progress and posted updates on another forum. So it appears it is a clone that is using a real Apple II board. The problem appears to have been from a bad socket on one of the first row memory chips. I replaced all the sockets and I can get to the Apple II ] prompt. I tried...

I finally got around to trying to figure out this old Apple II clone I picked up some years back (it was one of my first vintage purchases and I had no idea what I was doing). Anyway, it was booting to gibberish on the video out and I read it was likely RAM related. So I removed all the RAM...

Just now seeing @JDW's note that he would be sending it to you "within" Japan. I misread that. Best of luck!

Where are you located? If in the US, I could probably mail you a good bit I have left over in a regular envelope.

So, when will @MacEffects be releasing the clear shell for the Lisa itself?!?

I do as well. Unfortunately, I also have 3m of the 1.0mm ID tubing that does not grip the shaft well enough to work. but if anyone needs any, I have plenty of supply as well.

Trying to get my IIsi to output to an LCD and am struggling. I've tried with various dip switch settings in the Sony MacView LX (started with my standard VGA/SVGA mode setting). My Eizo FlexScan S1923 monitor claims to support sync on green. However, I am unable to get it to register any...

Yeah, the 0.8 works much better. I also have a ton if anyone needs any.

Actually, I just found out every Mac has an API, but it’d be pretty expensive to do over time. Also, I’d have to be careful about how often I look up information. I’d have to download the info when a device was added versus doing a realtime lookup every time you view a device, which would be...

OK, I found yet another Airtable alternative. NoCoDB is promising in that it seems to support nearly everything Baserow does, but it offers row commenting in its free tier. The part I can't determine, is whether there is a dependency on their company. It's also able to be deployed self hosted...

I don't have a 240v PSU setup, but I'd imagine the markings are indicating where they should be connected for different input voltages. My guess is someone else tried to switch to 240v and missed that other jumper, frying things in the process.

Does the machine stop responding if you try to play certain sounds? I had an SE/30 that had no sound from the speaker or headphone ports. When I opened the sound control panel it would hang (mouse would move, but couldn't click anything. Turned out there was a broken trace from the UE10 chip...

Baserow looks promising. It features much of the capabilities of AirTable. Two things it lacks - a native iOS app (probably could live with, given the web interface is responsive. Not as nice as the AirTable native app, but probably good enough. The second thing I found could be a...

I would love to use Airtable, given that it seems to be very flexible and would even provide me the ability to store images and a comment stream on my devices. I'm really worried about their ability to keep it free / functional. The other problem I'd have is the amount of images I want to...

Yeah, while it would be cool to do on one of the vintage machines - I want the redundancy of my NAS storage, and the accessibility of a web server for the linking from a QR code on my phone. In theory, I could host the database, web server, and API server on one of my G4s, but I'm worried about...

Yeah, there's some apps for doing collection management. But they all lack what I think is a key component, the ability to generate a QR code to link back to the entry from the physical device (that I can tell). I want my workflow to be - grab a device to work on, scan the QR code to pull up...
