I watched the video and the summary of the brittleness explanation was that the use of a brominated flame retardant combined with off-gassing caused micro-fissures which led to the case falling apart. Honestly, I wish we had no flame retardants at all for the sake of not having to de-yellow so...

While not a "native" app for Apple Silicon, but the following version of Stuffit Deluxe works just fine on my M1 Max 16" MacBook Pro running macOS Sequoia (too many bugs in Tahoe for me to consider updating the OS yet): https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/stuffit-deluxe-1605-final-version

@Chardonneret Why is only the bottom left corner of the display area not rounded?

Well, that's a ceramic. Using a polypropylene film cap will result in better stability over the operating temperature range. No DC bias effect on film caps either, unlike ceramics. Honestly, I just bought myself a 1000V pack of film caps (various values) on Amazon Japan in the past. There...

I discuss CL26 in my video below starting at 49:00... So while it's actually 1nF~3.9nF, not 4.7nF, you can use 1000V or higher film caps, preferably polypropylene. This person claims to have tried values ranging from 1nF up to 5nF but found it wasn't a solution for him.

I don't have an Apple Portrait Display sadly, but any NuBus card capable of 640x870 at ~75 Hz refresh should do it, assuming you have the means to connect it to the display. For example, the following NuBus cards have or seem to have 640x870 support: SuperMac Spectrum/8 Series III Sonata Pro...

PowerBook 100 & 170 owners, could you please measure the displayable PIXEL AREA of your LCD from the bottom left to the top right? (Not the visible LCD area, but the displayed pixel area.) To accomplish that, launch Photoshop 1, full the screen with black and make it full screen. Feel free...

Folks, our awesome forum member @techknight has posted a new video showing the required DIODE MOD for using a BlueSCSI externally on a Macintosh Portable 5126 here:

QUESTION for owners of both a 5120 & 5126: Do you find the 5120's display to be brighter and easier to see in good lighting compared to the 5126 with backlight OFF? (I only have a 5126 and therefore have no way to compare the two models.)

In coming years the summary of posts in this thread will be... It's down. It's up. It's down again. It's up again. He loves me... He loves me not... He loves me... He... Yes, I do find it a bit amusing, I certainly don't take pleasure in the plight of others. I have spoken privately to...

Or multiple manufacturers, because it's really, REALLY hard to know these days what is genuine and what's a knock-off. For example, my 10" IPS display is branded EYOYO but the official EYOYO site makes no mention of it at all. Funny that. Mine is IPS, yet the 8" official product seems to be...

I know Jonathan Adar (member of the Apple II Enthusiasts group on FaceBook) has done it.

Start watching from 41:57...

There is, but as I show in my video, you can make longer sounds... Jump to the 0:49 second timestamp to head the short sounds, and keep listening to hear the long sounds. At the very end of each, you still get that little "pop" and I honestly do not know how to get rid of that. But clearly...

If only you could fit a stereo pair of speakers in the front to see how that impacts volume. Because I have the Stereo Mod, and it's not even close to being what I would call "loud."

Thank you for your kindness in asking, but I am perfectly content with my 28S, 50g, 48GX, and Prime. I just think the SX has a neat color scheme.

I thought BlueSCSI speed gains from FWB HDTK only came on faster 030 or 040 Macs, especially when running OS 8.x or higher. And for lesser machines, the official BlueSCSI recommend was Apple's 7.3.5 drive. (Except perhaps for the Portable needing 7.3.1, which is yet to be determined. The long...

It’s also important to consider that the 8 inch Eyoyo model (TFT) appears to be 800 x 600 resolution, whereas the knockoff 10 inch version that I have (IPS) is 1024 x 768 resolution.

Today, I came across this very interesting post by @David Cook where he attached his patched edition of System 6.0.8L that works on many 68K Macs it otherwise doesn't support. I confirmed David's patched version boots my Macintosh Portable 5126 and the backlight works, but I still get the pop...

Well, I'm not sure what the exact problem is, but thank you for joining us here on TinkerDifferent. I hope you enjoy the forum!
